DUTCH SIMPLICITY.

Kempen, a town in Holland on the
lower Rhine (the birthplace of Thomas
a'Kempis), is a favorite residence of
people with small incomes. The i'm
agination of these Dutchmen must be
as limited as their incomes, Judging
from the droll stories that are told of
them. At one time a fire broke out,
AMI much damage was done because
the engines were out of repair. The
council met; and after much argument,
it was voted that on the eve preceding
every fire the town officers should
carefully examine the engines, pumps,
sc. One of the greatest profits of the
town was the toll eXacted at the gates.
The council wished to increase the in
come; and, instead of increasing the
toll, it voted to double the number of
gates. This same council also ordered
the sun-dial to be taken from the
courthouse common and placed under
cover, where it would be protected
from the weather. But of all the
queer things that are told of kempen
and its people nothing is so absurd as
this grass grew on the top of very
high tower, and the only way these
droll Dutchmen could think of to get
it off was to hoist COW up and let her
eat If

4 GAME HUNTERS LAST EFFORT.

NJ. de Cherville had dog which
had become wholly deaf and almost
blind with old age, as we'll as most
helplessly lame with rheumatism.
The dog slept almost all the time, but
he retained a keen passion for the
chase, and it was impossible for his
master to get away from the house
with a gun on his shoulder without
the old dog unless the animal was
locked up.
On one occasion when NJ. de Cher
vile thought he had eluded the old
dog he found when in the field that
the faithful creature was limping after
him, whining with the pailt of moving
his old limbs, but keenly on the alert,
as well as his eyesight would permit,
for game.
Presently the master saw the dog
pointing at a partridge. De Cher
Vile could not resist the temptation to
kill one more bird for the veteran.
He fired, the partridge dropped, and
the dog, with the one-quarter of an
eve which remained to him, hunted it
out and brought it to his master.
Bringing the bird at a limping, lum-
boring gallop, the dog did what he
had never done before in the field ; he
got upon his hind legs, planted his
forepaws on De Cheryille's shoulders
and dropped the bird on his breast.
Then the dog fell to the ground, rolled
over two or three times and was dead.
His last supreme effort in his master S
behalf had killed him.
