The Burro and the Bulldog.

A burro and bulldog had fight
recently in Fresno, Cal. Burro is Cali.
fornia for donkey. The burro was
browsing on cookie burs by the road
side when the bulldog trotted along,
stopped. and without growl, seized
the donkey by the shank bone of the
off hind leg. The burro kicked and
kicked, and then he tried to reach the
dog with his mouth. but unavailingly.
Then the burro laid down on his back
and brought it's hind legs forward to-
wards it's head. He shut his jaws on
the dogs back and slowly Strengthened
out. The dog without f1inching kept
his grip on the shank bone. But the
donkey had just as much grit, and
kept on Strengthening out, though the
strain was causing the flesh and mus
cles to be terribly lacerated. The dog
let go first. The burro kept it's hold
on the dogs back. and in second was
on its feet, with the dog dangling from
it's mouth. The burro's leg was ter
ribly lacerated, but he did not seem to
mind. He limped across the road,
and. deliberately pausing several times
to rest, rubbed the dog back and forth
over the barked-wire fence until it was
killed. The dog did not howl from the
beginning to the end.-Cor Chicago

How to Keep Things Moving.

All progress is motion, but not all
motion is progress. In any enterprise,
spiritual or worldly, those eager spirits
whose only concern is to ''keep things
moving" are not always guides to
progress. Activity in work is ever
necessary, but never sufficient.
Things must be kept moving" but it
is essential to success that the motion
be toward right point. and on right
track. There are retrograde motions,
and backward moves, and down-hill
pushes. In keeping things moving, it
is OF the utmost Importance that fatal
moves be avoided. The first way that
opens itself to view may be the worst
way on which to move. The shortest
cut across may prove to be the longest
way around. The slow and circuitous
approach may be the only approach on
which real progress is possible. We
can not afford, for the sake of indulp-
ing our feverish eagerness to keen
things moving, to rush on regardless
OF the warning voices that protest
against our too hasty choice of the d.
rection in which our energies shall be
exerclsed.- S. Times.
