Noble Traits of Generosity.

The pToverbial generosity OF the far
away people of the Pacific coast REQ eived
another illustration when the news of the
JohnstOwn calamity reached them. Pub
lilo meetings were held and money was
freely subscribed. While collections were
in progress at Seattle, Washington
Territory, and several thousand dollars
had been carefully subscribed as a nu-
cleus 70" the Territory's offerings, the fire
king came along and in a few hours swept
100000 of business property away.
The news was telegraphed all over the
coast, and for moment people were
dazed at the second calamity. But only
for moment. The next the people
were subscribing money, not only for
Seattle, but also for Johnstown. The COL
lections were made jointly, and some who
had subscribed before made second offer
ings. A remarkable scene occurred at
Seattle itself after the fire, when the citi-
zens met to do something about rebuild
ing. 1t was announced that in one of the
bank safes, still red hot in the debris,
were the collections for the Johnstown
sufferers. In view of the adage, "charity
begins at home," it was limited that the
fund had better be diverted to the home
sufferers. The proposition was indig-
nantly voted down, and the n Getting pro
ceeded to subscribe literally for it's suf-
fereIs, beside increasing the Johnstown
fund. The citizens OF Tacoma, Ssattle's
rival for supremacy, came pobly to the
front with fund of $4,000 cash and
supplies sufficient to feed 1900 people for
thirty days, with as much more in reserve
if necessary. Truly, the American opIe
are great institution, on which no flies
rest even momentarily.

For several weeks a woodchuck had

to be able to make pet of it.
After descending into her cellar one
day recently Columbia LADY was start
ed to hear a whining noise, like that
of an animal in distress, and she hurried
above ground and summoned her son.
Together they hunted for long time,
and finally took from a dark crevice
nest in which were five young weasels.
They carried them TO the kitchen, where
they cried more loundly still, and in
moment the maternel weasel dartea up
the cellar stairs and into the room. The
son thoughtlessly killed her, and now
the family are trying TO keep the young
ones alive in a box.
At Chester the other day a big fox
purring naturally, and with a rollicking
expression in his face, dashed familiarly
into Mr.. Morse's front yard and slaugh-
tered dozen of fancy young chickens
in as many seconds, and then he was off
again before any body could get his gun.
AS the fox had no time in which to de-
your the fowls Mr.. Morse fancied that he
did the mean act "just for fun," perhaps
to convince the farmer that she felt per-
fectly at home about the premises"
Mr.. Luzerne Foot of Durham was bet
ter prepared for fox that was unduly
forward in department one day recently.
1t was at early morning, and Mr.. Foote
heard great cackling in his hen rOost
while he was kindling the kitchen lire.
Selling his ready gun he fastened to the
fowl yard, and was just in time to see
fine fox making off with an equally fine
fowl. The fox dropped the fowl, but he
was not quick enough for Mr.. Foote who,
though he is 20 years old, is still spry.
The gun cracked, and the fox got off the
wall he was climbing and rolled over
dead.
