3 The true course for every person to
follow who has IN charge the moneys
OF other people is this:
Insist upon your accounts being
audited once year or more. Do not
wait until you retire from the Office or
until you resign from position. but
yourself demand a close investigation
of your financial accounts as you GO
along. II yeu serve as treasurer Of
any kind of society. holding any sort
of fund, make suli and complete
report Of your accounts from time TO
time, then ask that they be audited
by a committee who shall be
appointed by other people than
yourself Do not ask that any partic-
ular persons be the auditors, but keep
your books and moneys so correctly
that you can face even your enemies
and ask them to appoint auditor. 10
investigate your accounts and make
their report with a consciousness that
you have sacredly guarded al the
money that passed through your
hands, knowing that no. ore cent has
been misappropriated but being sure
that you can render faithful account
:fcr every farthing that has been en-
trusted to your keeping. Then you
will have q good conscience. a good

are plrnderers Of the same tastes and
are always rivals The crane did not
move, but It eyed the mink in a way
that meant trouble. So intent was the
crane that it allowed the eterror-stricken
sinners to pass and repass it. At last
an opportunity came. and the mink. as
it lifted its head above the water with
a six-inch dace in its mouth, wns
struck between the ears repeatedly by
the bird and was soon killed.
About the middle Of tho summer
the bird was let loose, but with
clipped wings. 1t soon became a source
Of terror and pain to the neighbors'
dogs. It seemed to be irritated by their
attentions, and one day, when JEFF
Worden's frisky shepherd jumped at it,
it tapped its stunted wings, and. curv.
ing its toes into the ground, made for
the dog. The shepherd fed. The
crane went after him. The bird
drew blood and pulled hair from
the dog at every thrust of its bill. and
the dog never went to Mike O'Connel's
again. The crane staiked back up the
road changed bird. 1t seemed to
have regretted its past docility and
good humor with other creatures. After
one visit any dog sneaked by the house
with its tail between tts legs. Those
that had shown fight were so sore and
lame next dav that they could hardly
be made to move. A kitten or a young
chicken was eaten by che crane in a
mouthful. a big hen hawk dived into
the yard at the chickens one day. The
crane was about a rod away. and the
hawk wanted to fight.
In just three minutes end nineteen
seconds by Frank Worden's watch the
hawk was dead bird. There was ons
bird :, ;th which the crane did lot care
to have trouble. 1t was OConnel's
brown bantam rooster. This little fell
low is all fight. and it made the big
crane look out for himself at every op-
portunity. The crane tried seven times
to whip the little fellow, but each time
was badly whipped.
O'Connel would like 20 know who
stole the bird. He would not have
taken ten dollars for il. He is now
on the lookout for another cranes

da, Marion township, few miles east
of Beaver Dam, Pa
Three weeks ago Scotch collie dog
belonging to Mr.. Leyda gave birth to a
litter of seven pups. During the day
the dog left the barn and her family
and went to the house for something
to eat In the barn near the pups was
an old hen ON a nest full of eggs. Dur
ing the absence Of the mother dog the
pups began to whine. Straightway the
old hen left her nest, went TO the
pups, and began gathering them under
her ample wings as well ss she was
able. and soon clucked them to sleep.
When the collie returned she made
no objection to the arrangement, but
laid down with them, and from that
day to this the old hen has had charge
of the little animals.

Remarkable Pet.

One of the most curious of the Adj
rondack pets was stolen from Mike
O'Connel, of Northwood, n. Y. one
day recently. It was crane, so tame
that members of the family could feed
it from their hands, and it was given
freedom of the yard and the creek back
of the house. Strangers could ap-
proach it and even touch it, says the
New York Sun.
The crane was found almost starved
to death at the foot of big birch near
Little Black creek last year The tree
had been struck by lightning and the
mother bird and a young Cne had been
killed, but the other young one was un-
injured.
At his home O'Connel built chicken
coop by the creek, where the water
washed into little pool. This pool
was a favorite resort for the sinners.
In its prison the bird would stand all
day long with its bill just sticking out
between two Stats. A sinner would
come along looking for grub. With
a motion SO quick that the neck looked
like a mist in the air the bird would
shoot out it's head and the sinner would
disappear. The next instant one could
not tell that the bird had moved, ex-
cept for a certain alert expression
about the eyes. The crane never
missed a fish. Frogs also soon disap-
peared from the pool. A garter snake
was thrown into the water one day and
the crane gulped it down. The family

followed a morning catch of sinners,
one by one, down the cranes throat.
The boys used to go down the creek
and catch lot of sinners, dace. clubs,
and occasionally trout. These they
would keep alive in a pail Of water,
and, putting the pail before the crane,
would watch 1t strike them one by ono
until all were gone. 1t would eat all
they brought, and fshed between
times, but it never got fat. 1t was
worn down digesting so much, the
woodsmen said. One day a mink came
along and plunged into the cranes
pool. The crane at once showed
signs of resentment. Cranes and minln
