probation of humor of any animal,
unless it be her own arch enemy, the
fox.
The writer once saw in little gras-
sy paddock some eight or ten fat and
healthy pigs and half score of geese.
From the paddock narrow open gate
gave entrance into the farm-yard, and
as evening drew OH, the geese ranged
themselves in a row near this Their
mopyl@. Obviously supper-time was
approaching, and the pigs wished to
return home to their troughs. Equal
ly clearly the geese had given each
other the word not to let them pass
through the gate which they guarded,
without paying toll.
First there came up a jolly, good
humored little pig, who trotted cheer
fully along with confidence which
ought to have disarmed criticism, till
he came among the geese. Then,
with cackle and a scream, every
neck was stretched to get bite at
him, and, squalling and yelling the
poor little porker ran the gauntlet.
The same fate befell six or seven
more of his brethren in succession,
each betraying increasing trepidation
as he approached the fatal pass, and
made bolt through the corps de
garde of geese whose chattering and
screeches of delight were almost UNI
distinguishable from human laughter.
At last the biggest pig of the party
brought up the rear. He was pink
feshed, clean young fellow, with fat
limbs and sides, and his ears were
cooked, and his tail sharply twisted
in the intelligent, wide-awake manner
which so completely distinguishes the
intellectual pig from the mere swine
multitude. With a loud grunt of de-
fiance, this brave beast charged
through the flock of geese, and had
actually almost gained the gate, when
large gray goose made one grab
at his fat ham, caught up the skin in
bunch, and gave it tremendous
pinch with her red beak. Needless to
say, the air was rent with the squeals
of agony of the injured pig, and the
ecstatic paans of the flock of geese in
chorus.
From the order in which this tran
saction took place, | derived the i'm.
preston that similar game of pris-
oner's base probably formed the en-
tertainment of the geese every even.

He Waited.

A naughty individual, with satch :
ell and don't-touch-me-air walked
pompously up to the desk in the Grand
Pacific hotel one day early this month,
placed his satchel OH the counter, reg
istered and looked around the rotunda.
Clerk Bamford asked him if he de-
sired room.

fully about. "But Parker always
rooms me. He isn't here, eh?"
"No, sir" Mr.. Bamford respond
ed, "but I can serve you satisfactorily,
think"
"No," snapped the naughty in
dividual, 4" I'll wait for Parker"
His tone and manner would have
sent Job into spasm of anger. But
Mr.. Bamford showed only a smiling
exterior, whatever his internal
thoughts might have been, and order.
ing bell boy to check the satchel,
motioned the parsonage to seat.
Thither he strobe and sat; and there
he sat and sat. The minutes lengthen-
ed into hours, and still he sat. He
had too much pride to give in without
struggle, but as the hands of the
rotunda clock neared the zenith be

and approaching Clerk Bamford, re-

In the suavest manner Mr.. Bamford
replied "In about two weeks. He
is down east fishing"
For moment the guest looked as
if undetermined whether to run or
faint. He compromised by extending
his hand, asking forgiveness and any
room Mr.. Bamford felt disposed to
give him.-Ex.

He Washed the Tiger.

When Pezon, the lion-tamer, was
at Moscow with his menagerie, he
had occasion to employ mouiik, a
fine specimen of Cossack, to clean
out his cages of wild beasts. The
Cossack did not understand q word
of French, and the terms of the con-
tract were settled in dumb show. By
way of instructing him in his new
duties, Pezon went through a sort of
pantomine with the broom, sponge
and water bucket.
The moujik watched him closely,
and appeared fully to understand the
details of the lesson given. Next
morning, armed with broom, buck
ct and sponge, ne opened the first
cage he came to, and quietly stepped
in, as he had seen his master step, on
the previous day, into two cages of
harmless brutes but this one hap
pened to be tenanted by a splendid
but untamed tiger, that lay stretched
on the floor fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door, the creature raised
its head, turned its green eyes full on
the man, who, all unconscious of his
danger, stood in corner, dipping his
big sponge into the bucket.
AT that moment Pezon came out of
his caravan, and was struck dumb by
the terrible sight that met his gaze.
What could he do to warn the man
of his danger? A sound, move
ment on his part might enrage the
great beast, and hasten its attack on
the defenseless Cossack. SO Pezon
stood, awaiting developments, ready
to rush to the scene when the crisis
came.
The moujik, sponge in hand, cool
ly approached the tiger, and made
ready to rub him down with the stol-
idity of a military bootblack polish.
ing his captains boots.
The sudden application of cold
water to its hide evidently produced
very agreeable effect on the tiger,
for it began to purr, stretched out its
paws, rolled over on its back, and
complacently offered every part of its
body to the vigorous treatment of the
moujik, who went on scrubbing with
might and main.
All the while Pezon stood there
with his eyes wide open, and as il
nailed to the spot.
When he had finished his job, the
Cossack left the cage as quietly as he
had entered it, and it required the
most energetic and expressive ges-
lures on the part of the lion tanner to
prevent his repeating the experiment
on second wild beast.-Ex.

KEEP COOL.


II never did and never will
Put things in better fashion
Though rough the road and steep the hill
To ny into passion.
And never yet did fume and fret
Mend any broken bubble;
The direst evil bravely met,
Ii but a conquered trouble.
Our trials-did we only know
Are often what we make them;
And molehills into mountains grow
Just by the way we take them.
Who keeps his temper calm and cool
WIN find his wits in season
But Rage is weak-a foaming fool.
With neither strength nor reason.
And, IL a thing be hard to bear
When nerve and brain are steady
Let fiery passions rave and tear,
II finds us MANNED already.
Who yields to anger conquered lies
A captive none can pity;
Who rules his spirit greater is
Than he who takes city.
A hero he, though drums are mute,
And no gay banners Haunted
He treads his passions under foot,
And meets the world undsunted.
Oh. then, TO bravely do our best,
Howe'er the winds are blowing,
And meekly leave TO God the rest,

The Faribault Republican is now

to believe. There has been an under

same time foreign prices have been

been $1.2O and $1.25 bushel in

There has been an attempt made in
the northwest to get elevators to
combine and refuse to store wheat
for farmers. We have looked the
matter up to some extent, and can
find only individual instances. How
ever that may be, every farmer
should have his granary and be in
dependent of elevator storage. Oi
course the wheat checks are useful to
draw money on, but grain is mort
gageable as well in the granary as in
the elevator to a certain extent.
