Hare is a dish never seen on a Spanish
table, because in Spain there is a super
stitiop that hares in the night go into
sh~urchyards and dig up the graves and
eat the lead bodies. A writer who spent
some time shooting in Castillo, where
game is very plentiful, relates how he
was convinced of the fact .nat the hares
DO eat flesh. He had been told so by
The countr people. but had treated their
assertion as a ridiculous fiction. The
next time ne found himself in a party OF
sportsman he repeated what he nae
heard as a joke. but to his surprise every
one listened quite gravely and assured
him that it was perfectly true. They
themselves had frequently seen hares
eating flesh. As he still expressed doubts
on the subject, however, one OF the com
pany offered to bet him - hters OF wlre
that he the GERMANY should see a hare
eating meat. The bet was accepted.
The next morning. very early. the span

went ont TO "a great heath To look for
flesh eating hares. A. they were sitting
waiting for the hares to appear, the
Spaniard, TO the Germans amazement,
took a little live crab out Of his pocket.

German. TO catch the hare with" re-
piled the Spaniard. II struck the Ger
man that perhaps the Spaniard had

of him. But then he reflected tina that

So he held his tongue and went on wait

In a the two dogs were after

out the crab and put it down at thu

THE OLD CLAY PIPE.

There's a 10, of solid comfort
In an old clay pipe, ] ind.
II you're kind of out of humor
Or in trouble in your mind.
When you're feeling awful lonesome,
And don't know just what to do,
There's a heap of satisfaction
II you smoke a pipe or two.
The ten thousand pleasant memories
That are buried in your soul
Are playing hide and seek with you
Around that smoking bow.
These are mighty restful moments;
You're at peace with all thew world.
Aud the panorama changes
As the thin blue smoke Is curled.
Now YOU cross the bridge OF sorrows.
Now you enter pleasant lands,
And before an open doorway
You will finger - shake hands
With a 1.-THE and girlish figure
That il coming through the door.
All, you recognize the features!
You have seen that face before.
You are at the dear old homestead
Where you spent those happy years,
You are romping with the children;
You are smiling through your tears,
You have fought and whipped the bully
You are eight, and he is ten.
oh, how rapidly we travel!
You are now a boy again.
You approach the open doorway,
And before the old armchair
You will stop and kiss the grandma
You will smooth the thin white hair;
You will read the open Bible.
For the lamp is lit, YOU see.
Il is now your hour 70 bedtime.
And you kneel at n Jther's knee.
Still you linger at tn hearthstone
You are loath to leave the place.
When an apple cut in progress:
You must wait and dance with Grace.
What's the matter with the music2
Only this The ripe is broke.
And the thousano pleasant tanctes
Vanish prompt with the smoke.

road in the midst Of men who were
painting from the first effects Of speed.
His canteen banged rhythmically upon
his thigh and his hnversack bobbed
softly. His musket, bounced trifc
from his shoulder at each stride and
made his cap feel uncertain upon his
head. fs
He thought the damp fog OF early
morning moved from the rush of a
great body Of troops. From the dis.
tance came sudden spatter of firing.
He was bewildered. AS he ran with
his comrades he strenuously tried to
think, but all he knew was that if he
fell down those coming behind would
tread upon him. All his faculties
seemed to be needed to guide, him
over and past distractions. He felt
carried along by mob.
The sun spread disclosing rays and,
one by one, regiments burst into view
like armed men just born Of the earth
The youth perceived that the time had
come. He was about to be measured.
For moment he felt in the face Of his
great trial like babe. And the flesh
over his heart seemed very thin.
The regiment slid down bank and
wallowed across little stream. The
mournful current moved slowly on and
from the water, shaded black, some
white bubble eyes looked ut the men.
AS they climbed the hill on the fur
