CONCERNING CRITTERS.

Ribbons have always been used for
garters. and good story is told of a
Scotch dominic who picked up ribbon
garter dropped by one Of his flock. He
wrote on it in a bold hand: Lost by
Ei1ie McDugal, the careless hussie, :"
and laid it in book for safe-keeping,
intending to return it publicly with a
severe reprimand. But lie forgot it and
used it for book mark until some
years after When he introduced Miss
McDugal as the mistress of the manse
she found out where her lost garter had
been tarrying.
1t is considered bad luck to lose a
garter, it being the foreboding of a
greater loss-that Of a sweetheart or
friend. No part OF woman's dress is
said to have such power in changing
luck as her garters They should never
be left knotted together OF thrown care

answer: Il did not find any treasure. y
Mckay afterward settled on French

large drove of Spanish cattle. He sold
many of his cattle to the ie migrants
