anyone to put out poison in dead
sheep on my place; and ! hope no
one will be SO unkind as to steal
dead sleeps legs and strychnine
them, cart them around under cover
of night and throw them over in
yards at residences to kill all the
dogs except their own. / am
sorry to say that two COWS Of our
neighborhood have died with con-
WILSON'S in like manner as the dogs.
We have no neighbors that would
do such brutal work. We are not
responsible for the convict in the

the guilty ones do. Love to my

Economics of the PooC.

A cheerful creature, who deserves
more credit for her courage than many
heroes who have died on the field OF bat
| tie, gave detailed list Of her "econom-
les" to reporter a few weeks ago.
"Shoes are the greatest expense" she
said; "they cost fifty cents, and my boy
has to have new pair every week" 1t
is pitiful, when one reflects that for two
dollars the boy might have pair of
shoes which would last him four months!
These are the economies of the very
poor. They buy worthless things, and
are obliged to do so often, for the simple
fact that they have not enough ready
money to buy good ones.
They cannot lay in quantities of pro-
visions nor buy healthful ones for the
same reason, and are consequently kept
poor and poorly clad and nourished be-
cause they cannot afford an outlay. In
furnishing their houses it is the same
thing. A cheap stove and a cheap chair,
which wear out and break down shortly,
are the only ones that can be got at the
moment. MARY Abbott in Chicago Post.

An Odd Railway.

''One of the queerest railroads any
where in the country" said the Rev. D..
S. Banks, of North Ontafio, 'is novel
line that runs from South Ontario, in
San Bernardino county, where l live.
The line is seven miles long. A span of
stout mules draw the car up over the
road. There is nothing singular about
that, but it comes In on the return trip.
1.-The seven miles are on tilt all the
way, although the track does not look
like it. So when the car starts back the
mules get on and take ride, the car
booming over the whole line by gravity.
The mules enjoy it too. They ride there
in as self satisfied a way as any other
passenger, and the view seems equally
charming. North Ontario, you know,
is situated at the mouth of San Antonio
canyon, but there are lot of magnifi-
cent mountains around there. One col
ony-for they can scarcely be called
towns-is situated on the Santa Fe road
and the other On the Southern Pacific.
1t is the seven miles of street railway
that connect the two.
1.-The way they get the mules aboard
is this: There is a little truck under the
car, and it is pulled out, becoming an
adjunct to the regular passenger depart
ment. The moment the truck is slid
out the intelligent animals make start
for it and step up and on. 1t is extreme
ly amusing-the way they do it and the
way they enjoy this ride, and they are
great favorites with the people" San
Fran cisco Examiner.

Pronunciation of Stage People.

Mr.. G.. w. Dancy complains very
bitterly Of the disregard by actresses of
the value Of the vowel. sound.
He says that "poitry" (oi dipthong)
was the sound recently given to poetry"
and immediately "diary" became "diry,"
while that pitfall of cockney rhyme
sters 'sure" inevitably delights the ex-
pectant ear as "shore." He has also
heard "obsurd" given for "absurd,"
while Commission" ''comission" and
"ocur" are frequent rendering of ''o1Ais-
sion," commission" and 'occur," and
"secret" masquerades thinly disguised
as ''secrit." Elisions and clippings are
favorite errors, particularly among rapid
speakers. Take as recent illustrations
'intimit" for intimate" "s'port" and
"s'pose," for Support" and suppose"
In the matter of chs" actors and ac-
tresses are commercially sound, and
"the very rare lapses in that quarter are
invariably due to nervousness. ."-London
