Old sayings are nearly always truth

discretion, as woman in little store

keeper being out, his wife attempted to
serve the customer She could not find
the weights, but being good house
keeper she remembered an old saying Of
frequent use in cookery, "a pint's as
good as a pound the world over"
In her dilemma she quoted that say
ing to the darky, asking if he would be
satisfied to take pint for a pound.
The darky, with wide awake cunning,
snapped at the chance, got his shot,
paid for it and hurried out of the store.
The woman couldn't account for the
sudden hurry of his departure until she,
with pride, related to her husband her
happy idea enabling her to get along

Buckley Made Good Throw, but Hadn't
Reckoned with his Horse.
Tom Buckley was working on the
spring roundup in the employ of one of
the large cattle outfits in southeastern
Montana. While riding through a
clump Of brush one day hunting cattle a
full grown silver tip bear suddenly
arose and confronted him. The only
weapon at hand was his lariat, and with
visions of juicy bear steak for the boys
at supper around the mess wagon that
night and a fine rug for the pretty
schoolmarm he quickly loosened his
rope and threw it. A few turns over
the saddlehorn, at the same time spur
ring his horse, and the shock came.
1t was very severe, for unluckily the
bears fore leg as well as his head was
through the loop Of the rope. Tom was
about to drop the rope like hot cake
when his horse suddenly put his head
down and started bucking in true
broncho style.
Thomas didn't last long. He suffered
when he struck the ground, but he didn t

extent of his injuries He started for
the top of butte close at hand, and, al
though an Indifferent sprinter, he man
aged to make very fair time.
Looking back from his position Of
comparative safety, he could see that
both animals had become entangled in
the rope and were having it out in great
style, making frantic efforts to free
themselves. The rope finally parted,
and away they went in opposite direc-
tions, or, as he expressed it, "they quit
the country, hitting only the high
spots. Chicago Record

a man, "a train passed going west. As

tion man with unusually long legs was
seen running into one end Of the depot
and out Of the other to the platform.
He started after the moving train at
lively gait He carried two grips one
in either hand, and they swung to and
fro in a laughable manner. On he went,
and on the train went. He gained on the
train at first, but the train was all the
time picking up, and he finally stopped.
He walked back leisurely, the onlookers
at the depot waiting till he came up to
give him the laugh AS he approached
them he dropped his grips, quietly put
his hand in his pocket, pulled out roll
Of bills, selected a SO note and ex-
claimed:

"Of course there were no takers, nor
did any one laugh at him for failing to
catch the train himself either. .
