The Aouseness Of one R.ren.

Most ANIMALS are no match at all
for the ravens cleverness. There
was once a poor hare that allowed
himself to be completely bamboozled-
The raven bounced at the leveret-
as the baby hare is called-but the
mother drove the rascal away.
But did the raven cease from
troubling? Not a bit of it. He
slowly retreated, encouraging the
hare to follow him up, and pretend
ing even that he was afraid of her.
In this fashion he led the unhappy
mother to considerable distance
from her young one, and then, all OF
Sudden-long before the hare had
time to realize the danger of the
trick-rose in the air, flew swiftly
back, caught the leveret in his beak
and bore it away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from
a dog. They teased him till he grew
so angry that he chased them from
the spot. But the wicked birds
turned sharply around, easily reached
the dish before him, and carried off
the choicer bits in triumph.
AS to the ravens power of speech,
the following story, which is given
on the authority of Capt Brown. who
vouches for it's truth, will show how
aptly it can talk: ~
A gentleman while travelling
through a wood in the south of
England was suddenly alarmed by
hearing a shout. ''Fair play, gentle
men! fair play!' uttered very earn
estly in loud tones The cry being
repeated presently the wayfaref
thought it must proceed from some
one in distress, and at once began to
search for him. In due time he came
upon a couple of ravens attacking a
third in the most brutal manner.
He was so struck with the oppressed
birds appeal that he rescued it with
out delay.
It turned out that the DULLES
victim was tame raven belonging to
a house in the neIghborhood. Hap
PLY it knew how to use the catch
words that it had so adroitly learned.

He wasn't a CaptIous Man.

A night or two since, as police
man was making his way up Beaubien

he was accosted by a co1ored man
with the remark:

"And he didn't go?"

"Jist as you say, sah-jist so, sab.

He returned into the house, and
the officer remained to see the end.
1t came in about two minutes. Three
or four yells were heard, somebody's
feet seemed to strike the wall, and
then the door opened and Williams
flew into the street like a half-f1lled
straw bed. He was scarcely on his
feet before he bolted up the walk and
the owner of the house came down
the steps to explain.

Point of Law.

A variation on the familiar old
story of wife's thrift has revealed
some intrlcacies of the law. In his
early married days a man offered to
give his wife a dollar for every kiss
she gave him. This full6lment Of
their bargain she exacted to the utter
most farthing. Years after, the man
failed in business. utterly and ire
trievably. Whereupon his wife said,
t'Cheer up, I have another fortune
for you," and brought to him the
proceeds of her kisses, dollar for dol
lar, that she had saved. Now the le-
gal aspect Of the case is this: Could
the mans creditors claim this money
in payment of their dues? Different
States take different views of such
transfers of money; in this case the
creditors claimed that it was illegal,
the woman having given no consider
alton in return. For, argue the law
Yers tor the compliments, kiss is no
considerations married woman IS
bound to kiss her husband-that is
one of his rights. The creditors
brought suit to recover this property
and gained it, the judge deciding that
the husbands request was within his
rights, and his desire to settle them
peacefully by the payment of money
gave the transaction no standing in
court. The offense was, moreover.

debt at the time. In the first case,
it was pleaded that the dollars for
the kisses being extended over long
period of time, the question of 1ndebt-
edness to creditors at the time of pay
ment could not hold. This was
granted. but did not override the pre-
Vious decision that the woman, under
the law, had given no consideration;
therefore, the transfer of moneys was
illegal and could be claimed by credi-

Never mind if he knows they are; so

to make him feel, especially if ne is
