A Dog that Climbed Trees.

A fricrd of mine who lived in the
Sierra Madra Mountains had a collie
that was an inveterate tree climber,
and woe to the squirrel that climbed up
a trunk that Jack could scalel OF
course, straight trees were out OF the
question; but one that grew at an an
gle of forty,tive degrees, and had a
rough bark, was quickly mounted by
the collie.
The curious habit was the result of
his passion for squirrel-hunting, and
the moment one of those little animals
would dart up Il favorable tree, Jack
was after it, scrambling up so high that
he was often found by his master thir-
ty or forty feet from the ground, bark,
ing fercely at the SQUIRREL which had
sought refuge on a limb beyond reach
OF the dog. In returning, Jack would
settle close to the tree trunk, and back
down, inch by inch, exercising great
precaution, well knowing that with his
short claws he was ut disadvantages
When within few feet Of the bottom
he would slide and scramble to the

A YOUTHFUL BLUNDERER.
Some of the Mistakes Committed by Lew

Some of the Mistakes Committed by Lew
iston's Handy Andy.
Lewiston's Handy Andy is bell-boy
in one of the hotels, who in the singu-
larity of his makeup and dress is a
pretty good counterpart of Samuel
Lovers famous blunderer. The boy in
question is stout fellow, with healthy
face and robust form. He has per-
sistent way of fixing his eyes on some
body or some thing and holding them
there, and it takes a brass band and a
circus to induce him to move them be-
fore he gets ready. He was told to turn
out the gas in the cellar the other day.
ri guess not said he; 81 have work
enough to blow it out without bothering
80 turn it out The secret of horrible
odors in the cellar was forthwith eX-
plained. His latest trick came to light
only a few days ago 1t was, as it hap
pened, on busy day at the hotel, and
bic bundle of letters that must 90 by
the next train had accumulated. The
boy was called up and directed as fol-
lows: Here, Gholly, take these letters
and put them in the mail-box at the
post-office, and see if there are any let
ters in the box, and be spry about it"
Cholly put on his coat with a miniature
ulster strap behind, and darted to the
post-office. He knew only one mail
box, and that was the one from which
he took the letters for the hotel. He
unlocked it, took out the mail. and by
dint of several min1tes' hard work
crowded the mail that he was directed
to post into the small box, and shut the
door. The crowded condition of the
box was surprise to the post-oflice
clerks all day, bat they could do moth
ing about it. In the evening the mail
was again sent for, and the messenger
this time was another boy. 1t was a
picture for the sorrowful when the mes
ger came back with all the letters that
the boy should have posted in the morn
ing. Several men rose and CRASHED
their teeth. The boy, who was sent
for, looked so absolutely innocent and
free from guile that nobody could be
angry with him, and, with two ideas in
his NOODLE, he now turns out the gas
and posts the United States mail

a Circumstance Which Afforded Great
Relief to n Bewildered Groom.
"Once, at a wedding" said friend
of the family where there had lately
been marriage, 81 saw laughable
performance behind the scenes. The
bridegroom had moved worlds so to
speak, to get railroad passes for himself
and wife almost all the way to Calfor-
MIA. He was poor music store clerk
who had had the'luck to marry an heir-
ess, and he knew perfectly well I've
shouldn't have money enough to spend
month in California, as the young lady
wished, unless he could get passes out
to Ogden. He had friend who was a
clerk to railroad director, and the
thing was managed. Imagine the sit
uation half hour before train time,
when the poor young man discovered
that he had lost the passes! The bride
was getting into her travelling dress; the
carriage which was to take them to the
station was at the door. The rooms
were full of guests making ready
to 90 home. The agonized fellow
searched his pockets in despair. 1t
was lucky that he was almost alone
in dressing-room up stairs The few
gentlemen who were there putting on
their overcoats could not help smiling
d seeing his distressed search, although,
of course, they were very sorry for
him. At last, in desperation, herushed
out into the passage, probably with q
vague hope OF finding friend to loar
him enough money to help him through
the dilemma, and met his bride coming
ont of her room,
"For heavens Saks, George, what is
the matter?n she cried, as soon as she
saw his pale face and wild manner.
1--we lost the passesn' he answered
in a stage whisper that was really blood
curdling for misery.
'She took it all in in an instant, and re-
piled: Come on, we'll miss the train.
l have big check that papa gave me
in my handbag"
'Whoop!n exclaimed George, and
plunged into the dressing-room. lie
remembered his own handbag There
were the passes in an inner pocket
where he had placed them for safe keep
ing. He came back relieved, but fairly
mOpping his brow, and he was still q
little white around the corners of his
mouth as the carriage drove of in
shower of rice.-BOStOn Record.

Tho Cnrufled Debtors Due.


Numerous anecdotes have been told Of
the nonchalance with which banllrupts
have disported themselves after their
struggle was over. On the occasion of one
of these chance encounters the solvent
merchant received the accustomed bow
and salutation Of "How are you, my dear
sir?"with feeling of irritation he could not
suppress, and he exclaimed, "Look here,
Mr.. -, you owe me nine thousand dol
lars; IL youn never speak to me again I'll
