The great trouble with this nezv de-

he INFERRED IT.
That Was How the Duke of wetltn eton
Knew there Was a Bridge.

Not every man can draw al in
ference. Two men see the same facts;
the other man draws nothing. The
observed fact makes no more impress
sion upon his mind than a landscape
does upon the mind of an OK. The
Duke of Wellington could draw an in
ference, and his ability won him VIC
tories.
One day he was fox-hunting. The
hounds, on reaching the bank of 8
small river, lost the scent. The mas
ter of the hounds apologized to the
Duke.
I'm afraid. Your Grace, our fun Is
over. The dogs can't pick up the
scent"
len TO one," replied the Duke, "the
fox has crossed to the other side"
Not very likely, my Lord. A fox
hates water"
aye, ayei" urged the Duke, "but he
may have crossed over by some
bridge"

answered the master of the hounds.
We'll" Continued the Duke, unless
you know to the contrary, though |

The two men, followed by the hunt
pushed on, and less than a mile off
came upon r'ldely constructed bridge.
The dogs crossed it, and took up the
scent and killed the fox.
A nobleman, who had overheard the
talk about bridge, according to the
Youths Companion. asked the Duke
how, if he was not familiar with that
part of the country, he came to guess
shat there was bridge ia the neigh

why" he answered, 81 saw three
or four cottages clustered together on

that the people living in them would

There are in New York now about
half a dozen young women who are
