slip away at night whenever she got
the chance. She passed through the
dark silent streets with her soft noise
less footsteps, until she came to a house
which her instinct told her was a
grocery store There she would stop,
and with her clever, flexible trunk take
down the shutters and effect an en-
trance.
Once inside, she had it all her own
way. After good rummage all round
the shelves to find out what they con-
tanned she would feast until morning on
jam, marmalade, biscuits, cheeses and
sweets of any kind. Once she made her.
self Ill, but that was when she ate
up large wedding cake, sugar orna-
ments and all.
At first she was careful to get back to
her stable before daybreak, but at last
she got OVERLOAD and was one morning
caught in the very act, with the empty
tins and jam pots strewn all around
her Fer guilty, tell-tale trunk was
smeared all over with raspberry jam
and gingerbread!
Poor Polly! 1 am afraid after that
her master was obliged to chain her up
moro securely at night and that her
pleasant little rambles were put a stop
to for awhile, much against Pollys own
wishes.-A. NJ Goodhart, in Our Little
Ones

FACING A BUFFALO.

It Requires q Great Deal Of Courage ard
Presence of Mind.
Romolo Gessi Pasha, in his ''Seven Years
in the Soudan," describes his first expe-
rience in shooting Large game" He
had used gun from boyhood, but had
never hunted anything larger than
wild goats and wolves. Now he was IN
a buffalo country, and one day a soldier
came in to say that he had seen several
of the animals in the neighborhood.
The temptation was too great, and, In
spite of the excessive heat, Signor
Gessi, with servant and the soldier,
sailed forth.
We had not gone two hundred steps
when / saw six fine male buffaloes.
Hiding behind anthills, and taking adj
vantage of the wind, which blew to-
ward us, we slowly approached the
animals. When we were within eight
PAGES of them they scented the danger,
and the two which were on guard fixed
their eyes in our direction.
We waited behind sugar-loaf ant
hill for half an hour, not daring to
move for fear of soaring the game. Then
! changed my mind, and tried to reach
another anthill a hundred feet away,
from which could shoot sideways, as
supposed, taking advantage of the
bushes.
Without being noticed by Hsggi, to
whom had said nothing of my inten-
ton, started for the place. When I
was halfway between the two anthills
saw that Haggi was taking aim, and
before could call out to him the shot
resounded.
The bufaloes looked up, uncertain
whence came the danger. The grass
where stood was low, and was plain
~ visible. One of the animals was
wounded in the shoulder, too high to
break the bone, and, foaming at the
mouth, with his tail in the air, he rushed
upon me.
I waited, motionless, until he was
within twelve PAGES. Then l placed a
ball in his head about an inch below
the horns. He bent his hind legs, but
recovered himself almost at once. L
fred my second barrel, and he fell life
less to the ground.

when the course was changed to per-
pendicular one. Then each stem turned
three times around, forming three
beautiful spirals, and when both had
mounted little higher they were
turned inward and united. Again they
were parted, and again met, after hav-
ing formed triangle. Up they grew
in close companionship for quite dis
lance, when another evolution had to
be performed, this time in the shape of
graceful loop Meeting again, the
trees took longer journey together,
but their trainer parted them once
again. This time they were trained
into new shape, as you can see IN the
picture send you, and the FIVE little
ash trees were once more united. Then,
as if in celebration of this last grand
union, the trees threw out numerous
leafy branches, surrounding the whole
with globe of beautiful green foliage.
rather suspect they had eventually to
perform more contortiops, for on visit
ing them one cold day, when the leaves
were gone, l noticed that the upper
branches were bent inward at the top
as if some other change might yet be
made.-St. Nicholas

Five little ash trees growing within
a few inches of one another were graft

kindly to the companionship, and grew
up together for more than ten inches,
when the partnership was dissolved,
and the stem separated into two parts.
Each part was forced to travel for q

A ou,eh-Witted Troubadour.

1t is said that the troubadour Pierre
de Chateauneuf, who lived in the
thirteenth century, had a marvellous
power over the feelings of his audience.
Once, while upon a journey, he fell into
the hands of robbers, who, after taking
his money and stripping him, were
about to kill him The poet prayed
them to let him sing one song before he
died, and they consented. He i'm
provised song in praise of the brigand
life, and when he had finished, his cap
tors gave back his horse, his money and
accoutrements, in their delight at the
sweetness of his voice and his verse.

Lovers in Shakspere's Plays.
l6autduquan

The modern subjective love story is made
wearisome by overmuch study of the moral
inwards Of the lovers. Shakspere did not de-
cline upon the psychologist analysis of human
emotions, and therefore we see lovers in his
plays as We see them in our own world, aud
this is the wholesome way of attending this
everlasting spectacle. 1t is no small cause of
the dignity love wears in our dramatist that
his lovers are not often boys and girls. He has,
so 10 speak, ripened fruit which is hardly to
be enjoyed when it is green. Indeed, he has
scarcely given US one pair of lovers about whom
we feel that "they are very young" and most of
them present the appearance Of mature manli-
ness and womanliness. OF the men, excepting
Orlando the beloved of Rosalind, and the boy
who runs of with Jessica. Shylock's daughter,
We cannot be far wrong in assuming that they
have attained to maturity. And to what mind
do lmogen, Rosalind Portia, and 0phelia seem
10 be in their early grlhood? There is a COM
Portable sense Of matronlness about all these
women, and they are weighed too, with char
acter, a thing Shakspere thought highly ap-
propriate IN woman.
OF one common condiment in love stories
Shakspere is very frugal, that is to say. faith
lessness. His lovers for the most part are as
good as they engage TO be, and they do lot seem
TO have discovered those awful mistakes of
choice which justify loving another mans wife
or clipping with another girl.

Doings of Interest to Veterans and Their
Friends.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The Boston Herald
of the 18th editoriay offers the suggestion that If
those veterans who have frauduiently succeeded in
having their names added to the pension list should
be stricken of, quite "a number OF millions Of dol
lars could be saved to the Treasury annually.
The Herald has been invited many times 10 give
its aid in exposing these frauds on the Govern
ments bounty, of whom it should possess some
knowledge, in order to justify such n sweeping
sertion as the above. but it has never done SO.
which fact gives fair color to the belief that il Is
not sincere in its opinion. IL is losing oppor-
tunity to assaiI the present Administration and il
it could make point by so doing it would throw
every veteran in the country into the breach 10
discount its high character. The Herald is the
sheet in Boston which regards old soldier. e1-
cept dead one, as of any account, and has done
more to poison the minds ofthe community against
him than all the rest.
Gen James A. Cunningham, the efficient Super
intendent of the Chelsea Soldiers Home, has by
his death created vacancy which the Trustees
will not easily fill. He was an excellent execu-
tive, with much tact In the handling of men and
the possession of many qualities which admirably
fitted him for the position His wife Is fairly idol
lied by the inmates of the Home, and it is safe TO
predict that If she is willing to remain as Matron

to be made with this understanding
