A SINGULAR HORSE.

Dean swift's Clever Ruse to Get =
A funny story is told of Dean Swift,
who was a witty man and fond of a
joke at the expense of other people, as
most witty people are. One very cold
night, when he was travelling, he
stopped at a little inn. There was only
one fire in the house, and the guests of
the inn, crowding about it, left no place
for the newcomer.
With a solemn face Dean Swift called
to the hostler, and told him to get a
peck of oysters Immediately and take
them out to his horse.
''Wil your horse eat oysters?" asked
the astonished man.
'Just take them out and .see," said
the horses master.
The people around the fire stared at
the man who owned this curious horse,
and nearly everyone of them left his
seat and went out to see the remark
able horse ca ting oysters.
Then the cunning Dean made him.
self comfortable in the warmest corner,
and ordered his supper.
Presently back came the hostler,
with the disa ppointed crowd after him.
she won't touch them, STRIP cried the
hostler.
"Then take the foolish animal all
the oats he can eat," replied Dean
Swift. You can bring the oysters
here. I'll eat them for supper myself"

FALLING IN LOVE.
A Pretty Little Love Story Worth Any

A Pretty Little Love Story Worth Any
Ones While to Road.
Two business men. who have long
been warm friends, met in a restaurant
the other day. One of them had a
gloomy look, and his friend finally ask
ed him what the matter was. 1t was
the old story. His son had fallen in
love and wanted to marry girl whom
he had not known a year. The father
was opposed to the match, but he did
not like to interfere.
LET me tell you a story" said his
friend, land then you may agree with
me that it is of no use to try to account
for ones falling in love. Every one
does it differently: know a man who
met a woman one summer good many
years ago. He saw her perhaps only q
half dozen times. He was poor man,
handwriting and ambitious, and was
seeking his fortune in big city, say
New York When his scant vacation
was at an end he went back
to his work and pegged along.
In two years he had saved
enough money to feel able to afford an
other little vacation. He hadn't heard
a word from that woman In the mean
time, but he sacrificed very large part
of his vacation fund in getting to the
town where she lived He had only
three days to stay there, and before he
went back to the city he told the girl
that he loved her; that he had waited
two years for the opportunity to tell
- hat Sv
ent channels that he might not see her
again for two years more. He took her
promise back with him.
They got married, and every day of
his lite he thanks God for the fate that
led him to that little country town al
most thirty years ago.
I'm the man, John, and you know
what treasurer tho woman is Don't
try to arrange the love affairs of other
people. Press

will be happy with him, Mandy. Is he

A FEW TOUGH KNOTS.

U, rol]ing.hitch; v, timber-nitch and
half-hitch; w, Blackwall-hitch; X,
fisherman's bend; Y, round turn and
half-hitch; r, wall knot commenced;
A A, wall knot completed; b Il, wall
knot crown commenced; G G, wall
knot crown completed.
The principle of knot is that no
two parts, which would move in the
same direction if the rope were to
slip, should lie alongside of and touch
ing each other. The bowline is one of
the most useful knots; it will not slip,
and, after being strained, is easily un-
tied. 1t should be tied with
facility by every one who handles
rope. Co nmsnce by making blight
in the rope, then put the end through
the blight and under the standing part,
as shown in &: then pass the end again
through the blight and haul tight. The
square or roef knot must not be mis-
taken for the ''grapny" knot that slips
under a strain. Knots H, X and NJ are
easily united after being under strain.
The knot NJ is useful when the rope
passes through an eye and is held by
the knot, as it will not slip and is cas-
lily united after being strained. The
timber-hitch looks as though it
would give way but it will not; the
greater the strain the tighter it will
hold. The wall knot looks complica-
ted, but is easily made by proceeding
as follows: Form bigh with strand
I, and pass the strand , around the
end of it, and the strand around tn q
end of 2. and then through the blight of
l as shown in the engraving II; haul
the ends taut, when the appearance is
as shown in the engraving A A. The
end of the strand is now laid over
the center of the knot, strand laid
over l, and 8 over 2, when the end of 3
is passed through the blight of l, as
shown in the engraving b l.; haul all
the strands taut as shown in the en-
craving C C.

large toy. The gauge is three feet, the
engine an absurd little thing and the

serious disaster, since any active person
