He Brought Home the Rabbit.

A correspondent Of the London Spec
tator relates a good story Of dog, q
smooth-haired retriever. named Turk
The correspondent, then Il boy. was
walking with his father. with Turk at
their heels. when they were joined by
the baiiiff Of the farm.
In the course of the walk Turk dis
covered the presence of rabbit con-
cealed in a dIy-Stone dixie and after
the men had removed some of the
stones it was killed and handed TO the
bailiff, who put it in his coat pocket
Soon afterward we separated the bail
if going to his house in one direction,
and we owe to ours in another.
BY and by we noticed that Turk was
not with us. and spoke of the fact with

perhaps an hour | saw a strange. puZ-

We learned afterward that the dog
quietly followed the bailiff home, and
lay down near him. Presently the man
took off his ccat and threw it on Il chair.
Instantly Turk bounced upon it, and

SEND WHEAT TO CANADA.

Ten Carloads OF Red Winter Go
Across the Boundary Line.
A dispatch from Montreal says that the
initial importation Of wheat from the
United States into Canada has been
made. James Carruthers is the importer
and the amount brought is ten cars. 1t
is from Detroit, and of course red winter.
Mr.. Carruthers says the wheat will be
consumed by Ontario millers. Now that
il has been pretty well demonstrated that
the United States wheat can pay the duty
of 10 cents bushel and sell in the same
market with the Ontario product. dealers
are inclined to believe the prices for the
latter have reached the top unless the
United States market shows material adj
vances. AS high as So cents has been
paid for Ontario red winter wheat re-

wheat at Fort William. 1t is probable
that further importations will be made
and if they reach hundreds of thousands
of bushels. the expectations of many Mon
treal traders will be realized.

A Fool and a PhiIOsOpher.

Wheat, we will suppose. sells for one
dollar per bushel. The owners of corn
influence Congress to legislata against
wheat as food. The result is Just what
any man with an ounce of brain should
expect. Wheat falls in price on account
OF lesSened demand, and corn, by rea-
son of the Increased demand. enhances
In value. In IL short While the eXtraOr-,
binary demand for corn has driven
that article up to figure beyond the
reach of the masses, and when they Pc
titiOn Congress to repeal the law
which makes corn, and corn only, food,
the growers and hoarders of corn flood
the country with bowls and Shrieks
Of honesty and patriotism. wheat"
they say, has dropped to fifty cents.
At such figure it cannot be good food.
1t is a dishonest product. If the coun-
try Is to remain prosperous, we must
have sound food" Now such Il declar-
alton as the above is absolutely analO-
gOus to the present idiotic cry about
sound money" Does any man doubt
that if the law touched the disuse OF
wheat as food was repealed. wheat
would go to Il dollar per bushei? And
so 1t is with silver: Repeal the law
which fOrbids its use as money, and
unless there is no longer any demand
for money. silver would instantly re-
gain its old price. A wise man once
bought horse with a three minute
record. The philosopher tied up the
animals legs with rope. and was
greatly shocked and disappointed when
the nag, at his very best. developed Il
gait of only fourteen miles in fifteen
hours A fool who happened to pass
that way suggested the cutting of the
ropes. and to the amazement and per-
plcXity of the learned maa the horse
dashed off at its wOnted speed. A word
to the wise is sufficient
