a Gallant Rescue,

Here is a very charming cat and dog
story for the truth and accuracy of
which the proud inhabitants of the
Swiss village where it occurred quite
recently are, one and all, ready to vouch.
A troublesome cat in the village had
been doomed TO a watery death, and the
children of the owner had been told off
to take it in a sack to the river Aar and
there to drown it. The house dog ac-
companied the party to the execution,
which was carried out according to
parental instructions. But, much to the
surprise of the inmates, a short time
after the cat and dog, both soaking wet,
reappeared together at their owners
door.
This is what had happened: The dog,
on seeing that the sack containing the
cat was thrown into the river, jumped
after it, seized it with his teeth. dragged
it to the bank, tore it open and restored
his friend the cat to life and liberty. 1t
goes without saying that the death war
rant of the cat was destroyed after this
marvellous escapade.-London Million.

went to the door. By this time the wind

clouds at times.
Standing near the woodpile was my
sister. l recognized her now. stepped
toward her, but she motioned me back,
saying, Joe, don't work tomorrow, and
vanished. l saw no more of her that
night. The next day l staid in camp,

ROGUlSH LITTLE MINCH.
The Trick by Which the Famous Race
Horse Got His Name.

Many stories are told of Little Minch.
the race horse, which indicate that he
is remarkably sagacious animal. Some
would assert that he is capable of rea-
soning, but horse fauciers are liable 20
distort instinct and pure roguishness
into reason and sagacity. 1t is said that
while this son of Glenelg was being
transported east after his sale as year
ling he was given nickname by a rail-
road engineer that was subsequently ap-
piled to the horse, and under it he won
his laurels. Little Minch's car was at
tached to the front end of passenger
train, and the bellrope passed through
it, the same as it would through a pas
senger car. The horse was playful, and
after several unsuccessful attempts to
seize the rope in his teeth the spiteful
little youngster finally got the cord and
gave it a lusty jerk. The bell in the en-
gine cab sounded, and the engineer, fear
ing something was wrong back in the
train, made haste to shut off steam and
apply his airbrake. After coming to a
stop he waited for the astonished train
men to come up to his cab. They de-
MED that any one had pulled the cord,
and the engineer passed the occurrence
with the remark, MAYBE the rope
caught and frightened while we were
going around curve.
But the mischief loving Little Minch
was having a lot of fun In the car. No
sooner had the train got under headway
again than be again seized the bellcord
and gave it another jerk. Once more
the engineer came to stop, declaring
that the bell ringing was the work Of
tramps, but search for the ride steal
ers failed to reveal any, and the train
proceeded. With almost human rogu-
cry Little Minch again seized the
rope, but he was not content with one
Jerk, and the way he p1lled that rope
was caution. The enraged engineer
slipped back in time to See the horse
tugging at the rope, which he had bit
ten in two by his efforts, as if his life
depended upon his ability to tear it out
of the train. "Oh. you little minch So
it was you, was it," cried the engineer.
And the horse stopped and hung his
head much as guilty boy would have
done The story was retold many times,
and the animal was named Little
Minch.-Chicago Tribune.

Simple Diet.

a woman who writes for newspapers
said the other day in the course of a dis
cussion on modern cookery: II have a

a hungry husband to cater for, and my
experience has been that can do it
most effectually on the simplest diet. l
do not mean by that unpalatable food
or that which is poorly prepared. |
mean a good deal of steaks and chops,
with we'll prepared vegetables. l have
no time myself to see after the affairs
of the kitchen, and / cannot afford to
hire what is called fancy cook, but
I have come to the conclusion that my
family thrives best on what is thus
given them, substantial but not rich
nor varied dishes. AT any rate, they
are always we'll and strong and happy,
