The Sleeping-Car Wreck.

Manager Bennett has three bright
Youngsters; ranging from 8 to z.
The other morning he was awakened
by a heavy crash in the children's
room, followed by prolonged howl.
He rushed in. The smallest kid was
raising the roof, while the eldest stood,
half frightened, contemplating heavy
bureau which was tipped on the floor.
Papa, . he shouted, .Frankie's in
the upper bert. Frankie's in the up-

With considerable difficulty Mr.. BEN
nett raised the wreck and skidded it
on to the track. Then he opened the
upper drawer, and young Frank popped
his head out and surveyed the group.

The Dog Had to Climb.

We were comfortably seated around
the hearth at Porter Lake, in Pike
county, Pa, and the spirit of story
telling was strong upon us, because
the fishing had been unusually good
and the supper bounteous. The flash
and sparkle Of wit filed the upper air
of the room as with a fine aurora. and
a halo of calm bliss encircled the brow
of each entranced listener. But first
the drug and then the antidote. The
benevolent Colonel drew US down
gently from the giddy heights with a
story Of a coarse plebeian, locally
known as catfish. Thus ran his tale:
"A man and his dog went fishing in
the Mississippi. In a short time the
man felt a mighty pull on the line, and
he knew that catfish had taken hold.
The giant came along peacefully
enough until he happened to change
his mind, and then he decided to
along. The faithful dog, seeing his
masters danger, rushed to the rescue
braYely enough. The willy catfish,
when he found the dog pursuing,
turned upon him and terrified the dog.
who incontinently turned tail and
swan vigorously toward the dry land,
the catfish holly following. Presently
the dog gained the land and ran hastily,
the catfish madly surging after him.
The dog, sorely pressed and fearing a
painful death, in his extremity climbed
tree, the catfish still pursuing. =
Hold on!n we cried in chorus; ssdogs
can NOT climb trees >,
Cant climb tree?'' responded the
Colonel. s'But the catfish was close
upon him, aud this dog had to climb. !"

Joys Of Perfect Health.

Health is perpetual youth. It is to
feel the body a luxury. as every vigor-
Gus child feels, or as the bird when it
shoots and quivers in the air, not fly
ing for the sake Of the goal, but for the
sake of flight; or as the dog when he
rushes wildly across the meadows or
plunges into a blissful stream. But
neither child or dog enjoys his cup of
physical bliss with felicity half so
cordial as the educated conscientious
ness of knowing how to keep well and
to feel that You have turned that knowl-
edge to good account in preserving
the health and saving the life Of fej-
low-bekng The Saaaitayian.
