Tho Fox and tho Lion.

A fox who had never yet seer a lion,
when he fell i'll with IL by a certain
chance for the first time III the forest,
was so frightened that he was near dy-
ing with fear. On his meeting him for
tho second time he was still much
alarmed, but not to the Same extent as
at first. On seeing him tho third time,
he so increased i'll boldness that he went
mp to him and said, "Hello, whiskcrs on
the neck, how goes it, old sport?'' and
commenced Il familiar conversation with
the lion. The king of beasts raised his
front left paw and upper cut the fox on
the jugular, aad he hasn't done any
thing since.

When the last beam seemed to lingcr In hor

Nestled in u wealth OF hair,
Has with rapture set to beating this old wary

And it makes my heart rejoice

Ringing gayly with tho laughter that is twin

AT one time in the highlands of Scot
land to ask for a receipt or promissory
note was considered an insult. and such a
thing as a breach of contract was rarely
heard OF, so strictly did the people regard
their honor. The Presbyterian Witness
tells story Of a farmer who had been to
the lowlands and had there, acquired
worldly wisdom
Alter returning to his native place he
needed some money and requested n loan
from gentleman in the neighborhood.
The latter, Mr.. Stewart, complied and
counted out tho gold, when the farmer i'm
mediately wrote a receipt
"And what Is this, MANI" cried Mr..
Stewart on receiving the slip of paper.
''That is receipt, sir, binding me to
give ye back your gold at the right time, 4"
replied Donald.
Binding ye indeed! Well, my man, IL
sc GAMMA trust yourself I'm sure I'll ma
Jrust vel Such as we Gamma haze my gold. Z"
And gath6ting it up he returned it to his
lesk and Looked it up,
".But, sir, l might die" replied the
needy Scot, unwilling to surrender, his
hope Of tho loan, land perhaps my sons
might refuse il We, but the bit of paper
would compel tAgm."
Compel them to sustain their dead IA

A CURIOUS HAPPENING.
A Case In Which Lightning, So to Speak,
Struck Twice In the Same Place.


"Here was a curious thing that happen.
ed to me once" said man. 81 sat in a
theater in an end seat. Next to me sat a
man and next to him lady whom he was
escorting. In the course of the entertain.
ment one of the group Of performers on
the stage threw out to the audience num-
Der of photographs. They were photo
graphs of the performers themselves. The
throwor threw out three or four little
punches of them one after another as one
sometimes sees "a person tlgSw cards.
They left his hands all together, but i'm
mediately separated and scattered, some
fluttering down near by and some sailing
out farther over tho audience before they
dropped. Perhaps there were 30 or 40 cards
altogether. l rather hoped l would get
one, but l didn't expect it, for of course
the chances were greatly against it, but as
a matter Of fact Mt the second cast one of
the photographs floated over and dropped
on my knee.
81 was little surprised and little
slow and the man sitting next to me was
little quick. Thoughtlessly he picked
up the photograph and handed to the lady.
At the Same instant we both realized that
by right the photograph belonged to me,
but we also realized at the same instant
that there was nothing to be done about
it.
"Now here was the really surprising
thing about it all. At the next cast of tho
cards another one separated from the rest
and flew over and fluttered down upon my
knee. The chances against this were very
great but here was the !Aard and picked
this one up promptly. 7 am not sure but
that 1 regarded this picture as a sort OF
reward of merit. Anyway was greatly
pleased to get it, and it is certain that tho
man sitting next was equally pleased with
this most prompt, unexpected and felici-
tous termination of the incident. New

His Notes.

1t was said of Vice Chancellor Bacon
that he never troubled to take "a note of
the proceedings before him, for his men,
CRY was so wonderful that without assist
ance it could retain all the material facts
of a case. Sometimes he might be seen
putting pen to paper, and then it was sup
posed that he was making rough sketches
of counsel or the witnesses. One amusing
story about him was to the effect that, on
the hearing of an appeal from one of his
judgments, the lords justices sent for his
notes. These proved to consist of single
sheet of paper, ON which was drawn car
feature portrait of the appellant, with the
words "This man is liarr' written under
