A subscriber sent the ten command
ments to certain editor with the re-
quest that he publish them in his paper
He wrote back: "Under the circum-
stances we must decline to do it. 1t
is true the Commandments were written
several thousand years ago, but if we
were to publish them some person
would be sure to think they were aimed
at him and come in and stop the
pepper. A publisher of a paper has to
be careful about such things"

ANIMAL Talking about
the instinct of animals. A farmer told
Butler the other day, that his team had
become so accustomed to pull up at the
store door, that they always turned in
toward the curb as they approach the
sign. If my team had the say, said he,
they would bring everybody that ever
got into the wagon right to Buffers
store. Butler wonders how many other
teams are just as intelligent, and re-
members that their drivers always stop
at his store.
