The Meekrat Of South Africa.

The meekrat of South Africa bears
resemblance to the American prairie
dog, but is more easily domesticated.
1t is tiny little creature about as big
as rat, very intelligent and affection
ate as a dog when tanned. 1t barks
and chatters and purrs, is an inveter-
ate thief and spends much of its time
standing upright. Its fur is gray,
marked somewhat like a tabby cat,
and it is wholly without fear. The
dog is its favorite animal, and when
tanned the meekrat invariably attaches
itself to the most good natured dog in
the house. When wild these little
animals live in colonies Us the prairie
dogs, burrowing their homes under
ground, living on roots. They ex-
press supreme satisfaction by lying
fiat down and stretching themselves
out SO that they seem like a fat skin
without any bones inside it. The lit
tie creatures have black circles around
their eyes, a stripe running under
meath their bodies for its entire length
and long, curving black claws on theJ
little forepaws. Chicago Herald.

Question of Legal Interpretation
ONLY.

1t has not been so very long since
the old English court rules passed
out of observance, and. when they
were in vogue, nowhere were they OBJ
served more strictly than in South
Carolina. The rules provided that
a lawyer when he spoke In court must
wear black gown and coat, and that
the Sheriff must wear a cooked hat
and sword. On one occasion law
yer named Pettigrue arose to speak
in a case on trial.
"Mr. Pettigrue, said the Judge,
YOU have on light coat. You can
not speak, sir"
20, your Honor" Pettigrue re-
piled, 'nay it please the court l
conform to the law"
"NO, Mr.. Pettigrue, declared the
Judge, "you have On light coat
You cannot speak.
But your Honor" insisted the
lawyer, you misinterp-et Allow
me to interpret: The law says that
the barrister must wear black gown
and coat. does it not?"
Yes" replied the Judge"
"And does your Honor hold THAI
it means that both gown and coat
must be black"
Certainly, Mr.. Pettigrue; certainly
sir" answered his Honor"
"And the law further says" con-
tinued Mr.. Pettigrue, "thaJ the
Sheriff must wear a cooked hat and
sword, does it not?"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Pettigrue," the
court answered somewhat impati-
emily.
And do you mean to say your
Honor" queried Pettigrue,. that
the sword must be cooked as well as
the hat?'
"Eh?-er-h'm, " mused his Honor.

If you want people to respect you you

A constant friend is thing rare and
hard to find.
1t is easy in solitude to live after
your own opinion.
Bad luck is the only thing that comes
to people that trust in luck.
The fairest action in our human life
is scorning to revenge an injury.
Why should we think with painful
anxiety about that on which our thoughts
can have no influence?
Let your right hand know what your
left is doing and pull together.
The man who goes too fast or too
slow is about as reliable as the clock
