Tao Ferret Preferred the Smaller to The
Larger Game.

Larger Game.
n. W. Bennett, of Madison town
ship, keeps a ferret Il thin out the ratS
in his grain barn. Two of the boys of
a neighboring farmer borrowed tho
ferret, telling Mr.. Bennett that they
wanted to let it have some sport with
the rats on their fathers premises. Bats
had never been so thick over at their
house, the urchins declared, and they
didn't know what their folks would do
If the rats got much thicker. The boy1
promised TO return the ferret that
night, and off they went in high glee-
Instead, however, of going home with
the ferret, the lads turned from the
road and steered straight for a wood,
n mile distant. Rabbits arc worry plen-
tful in the forest, and the youths had
got the ferret for the purpose OF rout-
ing the little animals out Of their bur
rows. They knew that Mr.. Bennett
would not allow his ferret TO hunt
rabbits, because it is unlawful, aud
that was why they told Mr.. Bennett a
fb. If an accident had not happened
on their way TO the woods, the sportivo
lads might not have been found out.
But an accident did happen, and tho
boys never reached the forest with the
ferret.
While passing a farm house the for
ret slipped out of its basket hoppod
n the road, skipped into the barn
and got lost. Then the boys wore in
= pickle. They hunted all over tho
barn for the supple little animal, but
1t had got lost on purpose, and it was
having lots of fun with the rats in
dark little hooks, into which the boys
couldn't crawl.
Out in the meadow, several rods
away, stands another barn, in which
hay is stored. A hired man, who was
working in the field between the TIVE
barns, saw a number of rats scampor-
ing across the stubble toward the barn
out in the lot, and he got = club and
killed three. When he turned around
he saw several more Logging it across
tho meadow in the direction Of the hay
barn. That set him to thinking, and
he concluded that something had dis
turbed the ats in the old barn. Bis
first thought was that the barn was ON
fire; but he couldn't 300 IL smoke,
and so he ran over to find why the rsH
were migrating SO fast and ~furiously.
On his way he met more rats and kick
cd four of them to death.
On reaching the barn the hired mxn
found the lads in n state Of greet I'M
e%asiness. They told him about the
ferret getting away from them and
hiding in the barn, and he knew right
away why the rats were in such
haste TO seek safer quarters. Leaving
tho boys to continue their search for
tho lost animal, he dubbed between
twenty and thirty rats TO death near
tho roadside; The urohins kept up tho
- -.
without getting a single glimpse of
the ferret, which remained concealed
in the barn all night. In tho evening
tho boys won't over to Mr.. Benefits
and owned right up, He told them
not to hurry about tho ferret, and in
tho morning he drove over TO tho
place, called the ferret out Of the barn
and took it home.-Sor.ntoa pa

The Newspaper Puff.

The newspaper uutf il something
that makes men feel tad if they dDE't
get it.. The groundwork of an ordi.
nary newspaper puff consists of NOR
al character and good bank account.
Writing newspaper puffS is like mix
ing sherry cnhhIers and mint julppS
all through the summer months for
customers and quenching your own
thirst with rain. water. Sometimes
man is looking for puff and don't
get 1t, then he says the paper is going
down hill, and that il is in the hands
of Il monopoly, and he would stop
subscribing if he did not have to pay
his bill first. Writing newspaper
puff is like taking the photograph of
II homeIy baby. If the photograph
does not represent the child with
wings aud halos aait harps, it shows
that the artist does not understand
his business. So il is with the news
paper putf-if the puffpd doesen't
stand out like bold and fearless ex.
p0nent of truth and morality, it
shows that the puffer doesn't under
stand human nature. 1t is more fun
to see man read a puff of himself
than to see a man slip on an orange
peel. The narrow. minded man reads
it over seven or eight times and then
COOS around to the different places
where the paper is taken and steals
what he can. The kind.hearted fam
lily man goes home and reads il to his
wife and then pays uD his bill on the
paper. The successful business man
who advertiSeS and makes money,
starts Immediately to find the news
paper man, and speaks word OF
grateful acknowledgement and en-
enlargement, Then the two men
start out of the sanctum and walk
thOughtfuIly down the street tOgpih-

AN EVERYDAY DUTY, - Men
pray for holiness as if it were some
thing apart from their everyday
life. something that had nothing at
all to do with their conduct in their
domestic. sucial, and business reIa-
tions. They sing NEARER. my God,
to thee" with glowing ferv0r, but
never think that the pray er can be
answered only by the uplifting of
their own lives to the plane of Gods
requirements. Holiness is not mere
sentiment. not vague vision of glory
overhanging us like heavenly
cloud, not rapture or an erstasy, not
something that God sends down to
wrap us like a garment in its radiant
folds. If being holy means ANYTHING
at all, it means being true. honest.
upright. pure, gentle. patient. kind,
and unseIfish. We really have no
more religion than we get into our
everyday practice. Wherein our
devotion is higher than our living it
counts for nothing. Morning Star.

His Only Haven.

All women are in league against the
bachelor-the married women from sym
pathy with their unmarried sisters and
the unmarried from desire to lessen the
number of spinsters. With this league
against him, offensive and defensive, the
unmarried man may find peace in heaven,
but he can scarce hope to find happiness
on earth-this side of marriage How
ever, once married, all the bachelors
troubles are over. He is ne longer the
subject of interested or designing atten-
tions-except the attentions which pro-
coed from love. True, the bachelor be-
comes on his marriage, if not an object
of commiseration to the knowing ones
an object Of comparative Indifference to
an women but one: but the superior love
of that one atones for all, and his added
dignity and completeness as a man and
citizen make him wonder how he pre-
viously existed, as one-half a pair Of
