tho story published in The Oregonian
day or two since about dog sepa-

He says the shepherds train their dogs
by taking them along when puppies

distinguish marks. He says further

drivers have their sheep marked with
red or blue paint, and when the drives

Silas Berry, of this place, had an ex.
citing fight with rats in which he
won costly victory. He works on q
farm near by, and yesterday morning
entered pit in which brewers grain
is stored for feeding purposes. 1t is
about ten feet deep and is entered by a
ladder. When Berry reached the bot
tom large rat ran up his trousers

brought hundreds of rodents to its
help. Berry was in total darkness and
was attacked from all directions. He
at once shouted for help and began
fighting as best he could. After
twenty minutes his cries were heard
and help came. When he was taken
out of the pit he was completely cover
ed with blood. When fully convinced
that he was safe he tainted dead
away from Joy. His body is covered
with bites and scratches and it will b
a long time before he RECEIVERS. Forty
eight dead rats, some of enormous
size, were taken from the pit, having
been killed by Berry in his desperate
fight. = Newton Cor. Philadelphia

COURAGE.

Because hold it sinful to despond,
And will not let the bitterness OF life
Blind mo with burning tearA but look beyond
Its tumult and its strife;
Because lift my head above the mist
Where the sun shines and the broad breexes
BY every ray and every raindrop kissed
That Gods love doth bestow,
Think you ind no bitterness At all.
No burden to be borne, like Christians packi
Think you there are no ready tears to fall
Because keep them backi
Why should hug life's ills with cold reserve,
To curse myself and all who love mel Nay!
thousand times moro good than deserve
God gives me every day.
And I'm each one of these rebelous tears,
Kept bravely back, he makes q rainbow shine
Grateful take his slightest gift, no fears
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear. and when the clouds ars
past,
One golden day re1eems a weary year.
Patient listen, sure that sweet at last
VIII sound his voice Of cheer.
Then vex me not with chiding. Let me be;
Unjust be glad and grateful to the end.
