ing toward the two, secured Zekiel's
gun and put q couple Of shots in the
animals body, but did not kill him, az
he had hoped to do. The wolf whirled
sharply about and, still standing over
Ezekiel, made n snap at the other man,
which Mr.. Butterfeld parried by get.
ting to one side. He then brought the
gun down upon the creatures skull,
breaking the weapon snort OF in the
barrel and without seeming to daze
tine wolf at all.
The latter now abandoned his pros.
trote prey and ran at the ranchmaD,
who, being now uDdefended, resolved
to fec for his life. But his enemy was
too quick for him. and was almost
upon him before he could reach the
door. However near this exit Mr.
Buttcrfeld found q branding iron such
as is used to mark cattle, and with
this formidable weapon the rAnchman
prepared to finish NJ his dauntless foe.
Raising it in the air he threw it IL
rectly into the face Of the wolf, shat
terine the nasal bone and reducing
the entire muzzle to mass of bloody
flesh.
With a shrek Of agony the big wolf
rolled over on the floor, clawing at
the planks for something to apply to
the wound, and running mp to him
Mr.. Butterfeld brought down the
iron once more on his skull, this time
breaking it and killing the wolf. He
now called his wife, and they sue
ccedcd in restoring the unfortunate
Zekiel. and he aided Mrs. Butterfeld
in getting the ranchmau to the house,
for his feet and limbs were in such
state as to render walking most pain
ful and perilous thing.
But though it was feared at first
that something serious might come OF
the bites, the gentleman Is rapidly re-
covering. Ezekiel, however, declares
that no, for all the 5weethearts in the
world would he leave the door Of that
ioldopen again.

Animal TaIk.

It will be remembered That when
some time ago Professor Garner went
TO Africa to study the monkey lam
euage there were many newspaper
Jokes perpetrated at his expense. Bnt
Psul du Chsillu, who has spent much
Of his life in Africa, believes that
Garner is right in his theory of the cx'
istence of monkey language, si'
though he does rot commit himself to
the notion that it is possible for man
TO acquire that language. When there
are so many instances OF horses, dogs
and other animals learning so much OF
human language as TO promptly obey
commands given, it would be unrea-
sonable to suppose that they hal not
some kind Of a language Of their own.
The warning notes Of danger that q
hen gives to her chicks when hawk
is near, the warming that some snakes
give to their young, upon which the
latter take refuge down their mothers
throat, and many other instances
prove the e4istence oi an animal lan-
euage, but that does not prove that
man can, acquire it. Chicago Herald,

Stranae Faculty in Reptiles.

Reptiles and batrachians usually
possess what may be termed the water
location sense.
Ny attention was first called to this
by my brother, who, while engaged in
q natural history expedition in South
eastern Texas, had what at the time
We both considered unique expert
ence with a large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised
some distance from the water, among
the sand dunes that line tine Gulf
shore, and on being oyertaken had its
head chopped off preparatory to serv-
ing as a very toothsome addition TO
our diet. Much to the surprise of the
party the beheaded animal continued
on its way toward the water.
Several times it was turned around,
entirely or part way, but every time
it was able to right its position per
fectly, and again make directly fer
the water.
At the time it was narrated to me /
was Of the opinion that there must
have been something IN the contorr
of the land that enabled the tortoise
to regain the correct direction IN each
case.
Since then ! have had numerous
proofs that this ability belongs to n
number of species of these animals in
the West Indies, and that the loss Of
ewes and nasal organs, OF the entire
head and neck N fact, apparently
works no Inconvenience to them n
this particular. This is a family char
acteristic which, so far as have been
able to find, is not alluded to in any
work concerning tne...
The same singclar ability may be
observed in certain species OF water
frequenting snakes. The commol
water snake, often enormously caiied
the "water moccasin." almost invari-
ably finds lis way to the water, if not
too far away, when its head is cut off

InexpensiYe Pleasures.

The comparatively cheap pleasures
seem to be the best, not only Tor this
Christmas, but in life generally. There
is so little that the very rich can buy
for themselves that need stir envy in
people who are just comfortably OF.
Warmth is such delightful thing in
winter, but you and 1 can get as much
as we want Of it, and a millionaire can
have no more. And then there arc 80
many cheap ordinary things to cat
that are just as good or better than tho
expensive things An eplcuro who
lives somewhere in the western part OF
this State was saying the other day
that having a particular dinner N
view, he sent to iudicious man in
New York for the best fish that the
market offered They sent him "a
fresh cod and he admitted that no fish
could be better, and moralized Those
are his remarks above on the COM
paratiye cheapness Of the heshly graf
ifications that were really best, such
as potatoes and chickens and fresh air,
and tea and water warm and coll),
and soap, and sleep. When one con-
siders how good big ive-cent sand
wich tastes when he is really hungry,
and what a poor thing n fye-doilar
dinner is when he is not, and how lit
tie difference there is between good
wine and good water when it has once
passed ones gullet, and how much OF
that difference is in favor Of the water
it really lends dangerous charm to
economy and simple living, and makes
one wonder that thrift is not more
catching and that the delights ofayarico
should be so generally monopolizcd
by the aged.
One Of the cases where a cheap ar
ticlc is often at least as good as
dear one is in the matter OF sons-in-
law. How often it happens that the
plain cheap son-in-law who exacts no
bonus, and even in some cases con.
tributes to his wife's support, turns
cut in the end to be really more val
liable and satisfactory than the bank.

And of the nearness of her arm.

The sleigh bells chime and we're away.
Across the crisp and glittering snow.
Leaving behind the city street,
Its garish glare and noise. we so
Into the darkness still and sweet;
And here and there a household CLEAN
Fits by us in flying dream.
How speed the horses gayly driven
The sweet bells clatter silvery mirth,
And every star is white in heaven
And every field is white on earth.
How dark the brightness seems. how bright
The darkness Of the winter night
We pass the open road like wind,
But in the dim and shadowy lanes
Our wild pace slackens, and find
One hand enough to hold the reins:
Aud. somehow, when try TO speak,
NY words are kisses on her cheek.

And full OF dear. enchanting hours
And love is sweet in summer days,
Mid blossoming paths and sylvan bowers
But let me choose, all bliss above,
A sleigh ride with the girl love.
