Misplaced switches often lead to tales of sad
disaster, but this story from Wisconsin may be
read without shudder. It seems thata light
haired young woman and dark haired young
woman, who were roOm-mates in a Milwaukee
boarding house. arose one morning, and, dress
ing in the dark, the light-hared girl twisted
the dark-haired girls switch in with what there
was of her own insufficient hair, and the dark
haird girl made similar use of the light haired
girls switch. As soon as they got down TO the
breakfast table, where there was a light, each
saw that the others head resembled confused
cheeker-board After il had finally dawned
upon them what the difficulty was, and after
they had screamed as much as the occasion
seemed 20 call for, they retired without any
special premeditatiOn.

"Yes," answered the Corporal.

last hour"
''At right; I'll attend 10 him. said the Cor
poral, and seeing the sleeping graybaek almost
at his feet he turned and quietly moved back
10 his own side Of the house.
On our left where our lines are close to the
rebs, two videts from opposite sides were moved
out toward the same tree. After remaining for
some time near the tree unknown to each other
our videt discovered that he had lost his cap
box, and commenced calling for the Corporal
After calling several times without effect the

Two Animal Stories.

An English paper says: "A Cornish farmer
told Us that his cattle were so gentle aud kind
that they followed him all over the farm, and
in passing haystack they would often call
him, upon which he obiigingly gave each one
lock of hay" The traits'referred to are not
uncommon among domesticated animals. We
were visiting family last week in the cOun-
try referred TO, and having occasion TO cross a
field where an OK was grazing, he followed Us
10 the gate with an eager expression, and, lift
ing the gate OF its hinges, he took after US at
full speed. No doubt he would have called
when we passed haystacl but the folks were
waiting dinner for Us and we couldn't stop. So
we left our coat tail and portion of our pants
