Irish WoIfdogs.

Maj. o Brien, an Irish gentleman, had
two wolfdogs, Watch and Ward. Every
night they hunted rats and rabbits on
the mountains, says the New York Trib-
,une. One morning Watch returned
alone. He moped and pined, land 1t was
noticed that as soon as he was given q
meal he would run off with it. When
the major came home he was told Of
Wards disappearance, and sought out
watch, but he was not to be found. The
next day he returned, and, seeing the
major, tried to drag him from the house.
.eWhat, Watch, my boy said the mas
ter: where's Ward ?" Watch made fran
tic efforts Ito show that he understood,
and9rushed from the house. The major
followed awaysup to the mountain, and
was lied to. low rock, where lay poor
Ward, his head damned in q hole. He
had been there for eight days, and only
for his faithful friend must have starved.
His hair was worn from his neck in his
efforts to free himself, and al1aaround
were. strewn bones that Watch had
brought him. When set free both dogs
went nearly wild with JOY, jumping on
their master and licking his hands. 3

~ Gen. Russell A. A1ger, one Of the
Wealthiest men of the west, replied:
Men are no happier when rich than
when poor. How can they be? Do you
think some great millionaire is any
happier driving some famous trotter
who has national reputation and has
cost his owner several thousand doll
lars than fifteen dollar-a-Week clerk
hiring a livery stable horse and driving
out with. his best girl? Not a whit.
For $3.50 a poor man can own a horse
that will give him just as much pleas
ure as a $4,000 Maud S. There you
have the whole thing In a nutshell"
Gov. Morton is another millionaire
who regards his days Of, poverty as espe-
cially happy ones. His reply was:
was a poor young man Of 20
years Of age, clerking in country store
/ used to think that if, by any wild
freak Of fortune, / could ever accumu-
late 100000 should be the happiest
man alive. Now that I; possess that
amount, and possibly little more, do
not think am really any happier than
ia my poorer early days.
Happiness is in no sense dependent
upon wealth, for the fact is that when
any of us snatch an hour from life's
cares to enjoy any Of its pleasures. we
enjoy them just as much whether we
are millionaires or paupers, and for the
time being we forget that we are
either"

earth.s center OF gravity will suddenly
change and the last man will be crushed
by the rush of nlovables that will quick

3. There is retarding medium In
space causing a gradual loss of velocity
in all. of the planets. The earth, when
her, revolutions cease, will be drawn
nearer and nearer to the sun, until the
last man will be- literally roasted off the
face Of the globe.
A. The amount of water on the earth's
surface is gradually drying up; the last
man will die, begging for "a drop OF
moisture with which to wet his parched
tongue.
s. A gigantic planet or comet is likely
to tumble into the great sea of gas
which surrounds the sun. In that event
our great lunninary would blaze up and
burn the earth and all other planets
totcinders.
