was sitting this week, and it brought
out the following story from a rather
dyspeptic looking man who had eat
en- rather sparingly: Il used to live
up in the country" said he. lone of
my neighbors, an unlucky, unthrifty
sort of man, killed a pig one day with
the aid of local butcher, and. after
the killing, he said to the butcher:
BY jinks, Sam, hate to cut up
that pig
'Why?'
Cause, you See, I'm OWN most
everybody around here a piece of
pork, and if l cut up the pig i'll have
to give the most of him away
4 tell you what I'd do said the
butcher.
What's that?
I'D leave the pig hung up out of
doors till II O'Clock at night, then
take him in and give out the next
morning that he's been stolen
BY jinks, I'll do itl'
1t was a wonderful fine plan, the
farmer thought, and he left the pig
hanging out as the butcher suggest
ed. About II O'Clock, the butcher
himself came along and loaded the
pork into his team. 1t was not there
when the farmer went out after it.
The next day, with long face, he
accosted the butcher in a hoarse
whisper:
4 say Sam, somebody did really
steal the pig
That's right; you stick to it and
you'll be all right, said the butcher
encouragingly, and he hurried off,
leaving his friend in a most bewilder-
ed state of mind, from which l don't
think he ever fully emerged

THE SECRET OF GORDONS WON
DERFUL POWER.

What was the secret of his wonder
full power? Much of it Law in his
fearlessness, much in his swiftnesS of
thought and action, and much in
what the Yankee would call his capa-
bility in all things, small as well as
great. He could ride and shoot and
tinker and conduct campaigns and
negotiate treaties, all with unhesi-
tating self-reliance AS matter of
course such man takes command.
Gordon never lacked opportunities
to show these qualities. When
steaming quietly up the Nile a mon
key with which he was playing fell
overheard. In 4 twinkling Gordon
was in the water after him. BY good
luck the crOcodiles got neither Gov
ernor-General nor monkey. When a
nugger was being hauled up the rap
ids some way south of LadO the
cable got away from the men on the
bank and the vessel was swept on
the rocks. No one would volunteer
Gordon jumped into a skiff and went
alone To be sure the skiff upset,
and the Governor-General sat some
hours dripping on a rock, but his
men had a lesson. On another occa-
sion the garrison of one of the sta
tons was thrown into much anxiety
by seeing Gordon alone, rowing
across the river to the east bank,
which in that region was occupied by
intensely hostile negroes. He land
ed, made his boat fast, and tried by
display of beads and wire to induce
the savages to come and talk with
him. They simply sat on the hillside
and scowled. Finally Gordon shot
hippopotamus and padded back,
leaving the beads on the shore and a
fine feast of hippOpotamus meat in
the rushes. Another man would
have been killed l was amused to
see on his table at Khartoum hand
some spoons and forks with his crest
half effaced by rough scratches. l
could fancy Gordon, vexed by some
unusual fummery, selling a rat-tail
file and proceeding to put out of his
sight one more vanity. 1t was not
that he was not proud of his family.
On the contrary, he could pay man
no greater compliment than to say
you are like a Gordon;" but all the
marks and signs of rank sometimes
became intolerable to him. From
"Where Emin is" by Colonel H. G.
Prout, in November Scribner.

DOGS IN THE SHEEP FOLD.

Dogs are making fearful work
among the sheep OF the state. Sew
eral farmers have lost more than 80,
killed in a single night; others have
lost a less number. The dog law is
strong on this point. 1t provides
for the instant death of dog caught
killing sheep, or worrying them in
any way, and also allows a collec-
ton of damages and double damages
from the owner. If 4 dog has not a
collar with the owners name plainly
marked thereon the dog can be killed
by anyone 1t is an undisputed fact
that a large number of dogs are
roaming at large, eking out pre-
carious existence by depreda tions
among fiocks of fowls and sheep

THE DRUMMING OF THE RUFFED
GROUSE.

In the so-called drumming" Of the
ruffed grouse, that soft murmurOus
tattoo by which his ardent lordship
musters his little company of willing
captives, we have another familiar
sound as yet as much wrapped in
mystery as the boom" of the night
hawk.
What is the origin and nature of
that "drum' which has so long puz-
zled the world
Many naturalists have definitely
located this mysterious drum, the
hollow drumming log" having long
been considered a necessary adjunct
to this muffled roll. Such has been
the most commonly accepted theory,
seemingly allotted by the bird itself,
from its singular preference for a
fallen log as the seat of the musical
performance. Brewer claims that
the bird beats its sides and the log"
simultaneously; a belief which is
shared by Samuels and many others.
Against this 1 would oppose the
witness of an unprofessional but
close observer-the writer, in truth
who deposes and says that the bird
does nothing of the kind; that in the
one instance, though brief, when its
movements were observed by him,
the clearly defined limit of the visible
whir of the wings seen from behind
demonstrated that no feather of the
birds wing touched the body, or the
log upon which the bird stood; while,
upon the other hand, the feathery
halo almost merged over the back,
suggesting new possibility in the
resonant source.-[W. Hamilton

November.

up in front of the German-American
Saving Institution in Newark at
2:3O O'Clock last Wednesday after
noon, and the two men entered the
bank, leaving the woman in the car

Cashier Webner that the woman in
the carriage desired to talk to him
about making large deposit belong
ing to some minor children. He &C
companied the elder man to the car
riage, leaving the younger man in
the bank. The woman engaged him
in conversation for two or three min
uteS, and then told him she would
call again. AS he turned to go into
the bank the younger man came out
and got into the carriage which was
driven away rapidly. AS soon as
Mr.. Webner reached his desk behind
the railing, he missed package con-
tanning $3.50 in bills, and an alarm
was sent out. The money was not
within reach of the opening in the
bank railing, and it is believed that
the young man vaulted over the rail
ing or crawled through the opening las
Mr.. Webner locked the door when he
went out of the enclosure. Mr. Web
ner was alone in the bank when the
visitors arrived.
