pointed to a whisky flask sticking out
of the inquirer's pocket. The answer
was surely very correct. The whisky
bottle is what drives many people to

their business; it steals their earnings
it gives them bad habits; it clothei
them and their children in rags, and
robs them of their daily bread. Yes

was straight-away gallop, our horses
straining every nerve and muscle to the
utmost. We lost sight of the fleet
creatures, but deserted them again from
a slight elevation running in another
direction. We were thus able to ride
over shorter leg of the triangle than
the one they traversed. Presently we
succeeded in coming well up on the
fleeing animals. But again they drew
away, and again we headed them off
by going down the steep side of a
ravine. Here the horses had little foot
hold. The loose soil slid from under
their feet so rapidly that they were
compelled to abandon locomotion of
their own. With legs spread out and

4 Poser for tho LaMrers.

John Doe owns a farm on the bank Of
the Niagara river. He has a fine pasture
along the river, and he makes an honest
penny now and then pasturing cows fol-
his neighbors. Richard Roe has also a
license from him to hitch his rOwboat
on the bank, with incidental right of ID
gress and egress through the pasture.
About a week ago Richard lost his chain
and ~improvised a rope Of hay with which
to moor his boat.
Now Ebenezer Dies COW, pastured in
the lot aforesaid, is fond of hay, and
smelling the fragrance of the extempore
rope she waded into the river, climbed
into the boat, chewed up the rope, and
loated down the stream over the falls,
where she met an untimely death. The
boat was also pulverized en- route to
Queenstown.
Has Ebenezer Dick any right Of action
for the loss of his COW? If he has, OF
whom can he recover? Has Richard Roe
any remedy for the loss Of his boat, and
if so against whom?-Bufalo Courier.

A Valuable Invention.

is, from what is technically known as a

view with an official of a company which
was to take up the invention.
The interview took place at the home
Of the inventor, and his daughter, q
young lady well On in her teens, sat in
an adjoining room, where she overheard
all that was said.
Although she listened intently she did
not understand all the details of the
conversation, but that she was much i'm
pressed by what she did hear was shown
by the fact that the next day she con-
fded TO an aunt that the family was on
the eve Of a great success.
81 heard papa telling Mr.. Blank al
about his new invention last night" she
explained, "and Mr.. Blank said there
was a fortune in it."
"But what sort of an invention is it?'
her aunt inquired.
The girl put her head thoughtfully ON
one side for a moment.
II am not quite sure" she answered,
trying to recall the talk which she had
overheard the day before, "but I think
hat papa has invented new kind Of hot
box."-Youth's Companion.

transaction in Chevres china. Early in
