Pets of English Regiments.

1t may not be generally known that
there is a special reason why the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers should have a goat.
They are a very ancient corps, and at an
early period Of their existence it was the
custom to have q goat with a shield and
garland on its horns to march at the
head Of the drums. Every LIST Of March
being the anniversary Of their tutelary
saint, David, the officers used to give an
entertainment. al . after the cloth was
taken away "a bumper was filled around
to the Prince of Wales, and the goat,
richly caparisonel for the occasion, was
led thrice around the table in procession
by the drum major.
In 1884 the then Tegimental goat OF
the Welsh Fusiliers died and her maj
ostv presented the regiment with two of
the finest goats from a fiOck-the gift OF
the shah Of Persia-in Windsor park,
and since that date the queen has con.
tinued to supply the Welsh Fusiliers
with goats as occasion required. The
pet Of the Second battalion Derbyshire
regiment used 10 be a ram; that Of the

4 Pitiful Sight.

Il was at Sioux City during the rise
in the Big Muddy" said T. P. Sinclair,
a prominent farmer and stock raiser of
South Dakota, land there witnessed a
sight that haunts me. Pretty much
everything that would float came swirl
ing down the angry river-wrecks OF
buildings, household goods and gods
and among the drift was, what do you
think? a cradle. One Of the old fashioned,
wooden sort. and in it sat a white headed
little tot, apparently about a year old.
There was not a boat within hailing
distance, the cradle was fully 300 yards
from shore and the river was running
like a mill race. | started on "A dead run
down along the bank, hoping to find a
boat of some kind, but before l had gone
twenty-five yards the cradle tipped over,
splitting its little occupant into the mud

UnpIeasantIy AhreCtionate,

An English traveller in Persia had ar
rived at Abadeh, where a European tele-

Hospitality and invited him to remain
for the night. He says:
An hour later | was comfortably set
tied upon the sofa when my rest was
suddenly disturbed by q loud bang at
the sitting room door, which, flying
open, admitted two enormous animals,
which l at first took for dogs.
Both Of them made at once for my
sofa, and while the larger one curled
comfortably around my feet and com
posed itself to sleep, the smaller one.

these domestic pets We're panthers! To
my great relief, Mr.. c. entered at
this juncture.
Making friends with the panthers, |

That may have been true at the time,
The fact remains, however, that three
months afterward the ''affectionate

A. Broom Speculation.

A 6-foOt Yankee, seated upon q load Of
brooms. drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-
pccted to find a purchaser. Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place:
Yankee-Can't | sell you a load Of
brOoms today, mister:
Dealer-No: don't want any.
Yankee-Better take 'em-sell 'em dog
cheap.
Dealer-Don't want 'eln; got enough
brOOms.
Yankee-Ill tell you what I'll do. If
you'll take the lot I'll let 'em go for one
dollar a dozen. You know they're with
double that.
The dealer stroked his chin for a mo
ment, as ii in deep thought, and then re-
piled:
We'll, | don't want any brooms, as l
told You, bug | don't mind making a
trade with You"
Yankee-What sort of a trade:
Dealer-Well. I'll take your whole load
at one dollar a dozen and pay you one
half cash. you to take the other half III
trade.
Yankee-Re you don't mister! You'll
charge me such I'm all fired profit on the
other half that | might come out at the
little end Of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, no; | promise you that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cos me.
Yankee-Wall, mister, that's what |
call square dealin. It's a bargain.
And he commenced to unload the
broOms in a pile on the sidewalk. When
he got through he walked into the store.
There you are, mister; fourteen
dozen, which | calcurlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other eve dollars?
Yankee-Wall, | dunno. You see,
mister, | hain't much posted in your
other truck, so | guess I'll take broo1ns.

Foot Ball al. Dear GirIslsee II.

took the gentle Annabel,
To see football game
And thus unto friend of hers
Did she describe the same.
80, May, you should have seen them play
twas such lovely sight
And thought the first game had seen
/ understood it quite.
First came the Navy all dressed in blue
Then Army came in red;
One fellow yelled. the rest all tried
To jump upon his head.
"And then one fellow stopped and stoop-
ed
And all the rest got round;
And every fellow stopped and stopped
And looked hard at tie ground.
"And then another fellow yelled,
And each man, where he stood,
Just hit and struck and knocked and
kicked
At every one he could.
'And then one fell upon his neck,
And all the others ran,
And on bis prone and PROSTATE form
Leaped every blessed man.
"And then the ambulance drove on,
And, loading up with men
With twisted necks and broken lungs,
Went driving of again.
"Oh, foot balls just the cutest game
Ii cannot be surpassed;
But yet 1t really is shame
To use up men so fast"
