THE TRICK OF TlGE.
How the Dog Accomplished by Strategy
What He Could Not Otherwise.

How the Dog Accomplished by Strategy
What He Could Not Otherwise.
Like the western ranchman, Flor
ida planters roundup their cattle
at stated intervals to take account
Of them. On the eve Of one such
roundup every one took sides in
controversy as to the ability of
Tige, a famous old yellow dog, hero
of much difficult cattle driving,
''scarred, reckless. resou1ceful, to
bring up to the pen a particularly
wild and vicious black steer, whose
lawlessness threatened to demoralize
the whole herd.
The scene opened with what looked
like a hopeless confusion and rout.
The steer allowed neither man nor
dog to come within whip touch.
Tge, to his supporters a1nazement
and disgust, kept we'll on the out
skirts Of the scrimmage, ell the time
with his eye on the black monster,
whose believing shook the air.
At last the dog made one f;;ltering
run in the steers direction. The
creature rushed upon him, and there
with, without more ado, T1ge started
in mad, ignominious flight, tail be
tween his legs, the picture OF COW
ardly terror, while the bull thun
dered after him with lowered head
and wicked horns.
''Tige turn tail Tige rum gasped
the amazed and infuriated boys, who
had maintained strrdily that the dog
was bold enough and able to perform
the feat.
"Yes!' shouted the tall old planter,

after the vanishing dog and steer.
But before you shoot Iige notice

A Remarkable Case.

Perhaps the most remarkable case
Of cataleptic trance on record is
that Of Colonel ToWnshend. This
gentleman could induce an attack of
catalepsy at will. When he did SO
he assumed every appearance OF
death. The pulsations Of the heart
became imperceptible, and it was i'm
possible to discern any respiratory
action. His face became eolorless
and his entire frame rigid, in which
state he would continue for several!
hours, when all the symptoms would
wear away. Yankee Blade.

Ba.clxache and It's Cures.

There are two kinds of backache-
the superficial and the esoteric back
ache
Superficial backache is actual. It
is seated in the back, as the name IN
dicates. 1t is never very serious, and
may be easily cured by porous plas-
ters, red hot irons, suicide Or other
mild forms Of countelirritant.
The esoteric backache is more
subtle
It is found to be very prevalent
among small boys who are compelled
by the inexorabla logic Of the cir
cunstances to throw wood into the
shed Or :1.n Ga ei.ran25. It is a re
naa1'lyable fact. but one established
by long observation, nevertheless,
that boys who are unGuostlonably
subject to esote1ic backache may do
almost anything with lmpunity so
long as they do ii voluntarily. It is
only another forcible reminder that
human minds have found a few peb-
bles of truth, while the ocean of
psychological mystery spreads be

a Way TO Save Money.

A newspaper reporter who has
welded pencil for various journals
in New York for nearly a score Of
years told an interesting story about
himself to party Of congenial friends
the other evening that will bear re-
peating. He said that during the
earlier portion of his journalistic
career he found it almost impossible
to lay aside any money. notwith-
standing the fact that he was then a
single man and earned first class
salary. Try as he would the money
he received on Saturday for his
weeks work would slip away from
him, and when Monday CAME around
there remained nothing for him to
do but to strike the cashier Finally
the cashier became cred Of being hit
so early in the week, and the re-
porter was warneu that he Wolld
