marry Stella.

zabn. Look now, the rain faIIs-the
drops OF rain that were once water in

with their wives, called at the parson-
age in a body last evening, and thus
expressed their good will and pleasure
in having the Rev. W. II. Zimmerman
returned to them as their pastor for the

year they would have their hearty
sympathy and cooperation.

Creek last summer one day came up
on two offers, one larger than the
other. / soon saw that the small one
was female, and the other male.
She was shy of the big one. and when
ever he tried to be friendly by getting
nearer to her she acted SO cross that he
went back. He got so near once that
she cuffed him and then plunged into
the stream and swan around for a
while. Then she returned to the loo
and drove him back to his own spot
1T went on in this way qu6te while,
and then another male otter came puff
ing and padding up the creek till he
struck the pool. Seeing the female, he
crawled upon the log and caressed her
She seemed to take kindly to him, but
the moment he spied the other male
there was war in the camp. One was
just as ready to fight as the other, and
while they had it hot and heavy on the
shore the female dived and swan up
and down and squealed.
1T didn't take the newcomer long
to lick the other male, and the whipped
one turned tail and scampeCed into the
bushes. Then the female Joined the
boss and appeared to be proud of him.
Instead of trying to NEEDLE with them

He had been shot in the leg about two
months before, and after every effort

notify him that the operation would be
performed the next day, and Bill, as
we called him. listened, and then re-
