Frank Schultz cultiyates a bit of

that a nice, big, fat blacksnake had
pre-empted the place and slid around
it like man with a state right on
anti-sneezing snuff. Mr.. Schultz little
dog had seen the blaclsnake, too,
and, like dutiful dog he barked at
the snake. hoping to scare it into
other pastures. There wasn't bit
OF bulge in that bulky blacksnake,
and it paraded around that patch
wherever it pleased, ana this made
the little dog mad.
The other day the dog trotted out
to the garden, resolved to make war
on the snake or die trying He barked
and barked until the noise hurt the
blacksnake's head, and with grace
full glide the snake suddenly sprang up
and, swinging itself around the dog
three times, held it securely, The little
dogs banks became fainter each time,
because the snake was Tightening itself
around the barrel OF barks. Mr..
Schultz noticed this, and on going to
the scene of disturbance saw how his
dog was embraced. With a hoe he

known as Hymenophylum is the,

and are therefore the oldest class in.

Teaching Welsh,

Few foreigners are able to pronounce

The Englishman had been appoint

gagged native Welsh scholar to give
him instruction in the, language.
The pronunciation, and especially
the II, bothered the bishop, and the
Welshman was. almost at his wits
end to explain the lingual process by
which the formidable sound was to be
uttered.
Atlast a bright thought struck him,
and being very obsequious in manner,
lie thus addressed the bishop:

TO AID BAD MEN.

IF They VIII Drink. Here are Two
Pointers for Them.
"lf before returning home to the,
wife of your bosom, or going to call
on your best girl, your breath is un-
pleasantly suggestive of whisky, and
you want to disguise it, just rinse,
your mouth with a cup OF diluted
camphor, and the most delicate or
suspicious olfactory nerve cannot de-
tect the odor of the enemy you have
put in your stomach to steal away
your brains, my dear boy" said
George Polndexter of St. Paul at the
Southern. II have tried it and found
1t to work like a charm. Don't drink
the camphor: just wash your mouth
with 1t, use your tooth brush vigor-
ously, and the job isdone. Then. if
you have staidsout with the BOYS so
long that your legs ges shaky and the
earth is whirling around like top,
have another prescription that will
Tx you Q. K. in five minutes. Have
the nearest drug list put a drop or
two OF ammonia in half pint of water.
or so much water as may be necessary
to take the burn out of the ammonia,
and then you gulp down the dose with
out taking the glass from your lips. In
five minutes you will be so sober that
you'll wonder how you managed to
get SO drunk in such short time. But
be careful not to drink any more that
evening; if you do you'll think your
whole stomach, diaphragm and all is
leaving it's crapuious home through
your throat for the outside world"
