Good Words For the Donkey.

OF all horseflesh, so to speak, the patient,
little, commonplace, every day ass takes
the lead. There is no denying him the
palm. Were ! a Homer, or Dante, or even
a Holmes, would indite an epic, or at least
a rhyme, to the character, strength aud
courage of this noblest of the race. IN
every country where severe economics are
thrust upon the people, the donkey comes
to the rescue and does the work which no
other creature alive can do. He lives on
nothing. He is rarely fed-in times of
drought or severe work some barley but
is turned loose to find what he may He is
never vicious or obstinate, but works faith
fully till his poor old ears flop downward
from age, and he literally falls under his
load and dies in his tracks, after serving
his often cruel master some score or more
of years. When he is put to work as a
yearling, he does not last so long. have
ridden one at Is months which had been
trained but two weeks, and yet was gentle,
bridlewise and well gated. Where is there
such a horse9-Colonel T. A. Dodge in Har-

That Old Friend.

A certain New York millionaire club
man, famous for his dinners and sayings,
Is just now relating good story against
himself. He has recently returned from a
years absence abroad and has naturally
forgotten few names, placing those he
remembers, as a rule, on the wrong person,
so that his attempts at hearty recognition
have been somewhat dangerous yet anus
ing.
He was going down Fifth avenue the
other day when he caught sight Of figure
which in the distance he seemed to recall
Increasing his somewhat measured walk
ne presently PASSED the man and then re
traced his steps.
A glance at his face was sufficient. He
knew him and recollected ~ he advanced
toward him cozy little dinner by the
window in the club dining room, where he
had listened so attentively to the stories
with which the man now before him had
deluged the conversation.
The stranger looked up as, why, my
dear fellow, I'm very glad to see you" fell
upon his ears.
A look of keen humor lighted up his eyes
as he clasped, apparently reluctantly, the
speakers extended hand.
"You are very kind" he murmured,
''very kind, SIR"
why, what nonsensei Here, I'm just
going to lunch at Delmonico's. You must
come with me and tell me some more OF
your French stories"
"Storiesl What stories'" gasped his old
friend
Don't you remember that dinner on the
night before my departuref Why, you sim
ply reeled them off,"
"Oh, yesl served that WELL chr" he re-
piled, with a slowness that portended a
double entendre.
At that moment the porch Of Delmonico's
was reached, and in they turned.
An hour was passed over a delightful
lunch whereat the multimillionaire related
anecdotes OF his years travel.
The bill had just been presented and re-
ceipted as he said;

A German inventor has produced an cleo
