jasper hates to move out of town as he
has taken root here and don't want to be
transplanted until he hears the summons
to come up higher. where he can play
some love ditty on the harp of gold which
is to be his, and fit about on angel wings
sucking ambrosia IN company with other
angels. But if impecunious publishers
Of papers do not quit sending him sample
copies of their paying newspapers which
they are forced to sell because Of i'll
health and various other causes, Jasper
will be forced to discontinue the use of
"Box 9S, Manitowoc, Wis.," or move to
some other city where the wicked cease
from troubling and where Jasper safe
may rest. Jasper don't want to buy any
paying newspaper, and BOX %, Mani
towoc, Wis" is not conscious of any de-
sire to become The proprietor of paper.
Jasper wants to be let alone to pursue
the "noiseless tenor of his way" as his
tastes may direct. He wouldn't give
chew Of tobacco for all the sample copies
Of paying newspapers in christendom.-
One fellow writes ne has money in the

Twas q Fine Piece of Literature.

Some years ago. when the beautiful
practice prevailed in New York of
taking Irish immigrants at Castle Gar
den and forthwith converting them
into American citizens, one of the
ward strikers brought a newly-im-
ported son of the Emerald isle before
a certain Judge to have him natural
lied. After some trifing formal in
terrogatories the Judge asked the Irish
man:
'.Do you know anything about the
constitution of the United State?"
"DIvil bit, yer honor" said Pat.
This was a poser, even for the COM
PLEASANT Judge, and he told the striker
that Pat was not fit subject for the
digntjes of American citizenship. A
few hours later, however, this worthy
returned into court and again pre-
ferred his request for Pats naturaliza-
ton.
.'Well, Pat" smilingly asked the
Judge, "do you know any more about
the constitution than you did while
agoP"
.'Faix. yer honor, and Oh do" shout
ed Pat. ''Dinnis, here, took me down
by the fince, yonder, and read me the
whole constitution, and Ohm very
much PLACED with it"
Pat got his papers.-Peters5urg, "a,

cided, at council held in ne mess
room of the Stanley, that half bottle
per day was not enough, and forth
with collection of empty bottles be-
gan to accumulate in the engineers
store, and experiments were instituted
to find out whether the capacity of any
of them exceeded that of any of the

suits. At last some. one suggested the
device of blowing out the bulge in the
bottom of the bottle so as to leave it,
nearly fiat. No sooner said than done.
Not only was the bottom fiattened, but
it was found possible by means of heat
to slightly stretch the bottle itself, so
that although it appeared very little
larger than an ordinary champagne
bottle, it would hold nearly half as
much again. The trick remained I'M

Wild Dogs of the Mountains.

The writer has had on one or two
occasions prior to this to tell of the
fierce natures and savage practices of
the wild dogs which infeSt the noun
tains of the Upper Wind river. These
dogs are not the common wolf of the
western prairie and mountains. They
are something more powerful and
dangerous. Several years since a
male Scotch staghound and female
English bull dog ran away in company
from Fort Washakie, made their home
in the noun tains, and these wild dogs
of the Upper Wind river are their saw
are offspring. With such ancestor
ship how can this wild offspring help
being a canine terror?
To the speed and endurance of the
Scotch staghound is matched the fe-
rocity and tenacity of the English bull
dog, and these wild dogs are evidently
worthy in every way of their origin.
Speedy, savage and stubborn, these
animals are deferred by no pursuit.
are restrained by no fear, and are
daunted by no difficulties. They pur-
sue, Stay and devour, such is the sim
plicity and efficiency of this native
canine ethics. The latest exploit of
the canine marauders of which we
rocTty for which the silver tip is noted,
but the mingled strain of staghound
and bull dog supplied courage and
ferocity greater still, and at the
end of half an hour every bear had
died where he was brought to bay.
The dogs suffered severely, twenty
five of their number perishing in the
fight. The survivors wasted little
time, however, in mourning over
their dead companions, but began at
once on the banquet their own powers
had provided. and in an hour from the
time the combat ceased, only clean
picked bones of the bears remained to
tell of the struggle to the death which
had taken place, and the savage feast
which had followed it Wind Riuer

In the large plains known as the

which are almost always flooded, the
people are in the habit of using stills.
The latter are not held in the hands.

carries long pole to balance himself
and aid him in walking. This pole
has usually a cross-piece at one end,

sit down on it and rest. 1t is a COM

their stills all day long. putting them
