His Dog Could Preach, Too.

81 have dog" said a minister who
had just heard a precocious story,
"who is very sagacious. One Sunday
he followed me to church and sat
among the people and watched my
movements in the pulpit. That after
noon l heard terrible bowling in my
backyard and, of course, went to see
what it meant. | found my dog was IN
the woodshed standing on his hind
legs in a dry goods box. He he'd down
a torn almanac with one paw and ges-
ticulated with the other, while he
swayed his head and howled to an au-
dience of four other dogs even more
sadly than l had done in the morning."

Good joke ON the Freshie.

One of the smallest New England
colleges has for janitor a colored man,
who has filled the position to the sat

years. 1t is not often that the students
get the laugh on ''Sam," as they IA
miliarly and affectionately call him.
One autumn day, just after the college
had begun, when he was overseeing

er or not her hair is turning gray?
What possible difference can it make
Of what color is the hair of an old, old
woman? Why, she must be almost

In the case in question the lady crit
lclsed was on the borderland of sew

have been hundred. Age and youth
are relative. TO the very young years
count for more than they do to the
older, who have lived longer and have
learned that the soul does not grow old

All this should make you very pa

is nothing more beautiful in this world
than to observe the tenderness of some
girls toward their aged relatives. Dear
grandmother cannot thread her needle
SO easily as she used to do, and is
sensitive on the subject; and does not
like to be too obviously helped, to have
attention called to her failing eyesight,
which she so much regrets and does
not like to admit. There are two ways
of meeting the difficulty. Matte,

Average BicycIe Rides.

An average afternoon ride for bust
ness man who does not train regularly
is twenty miles, without much of a
stop anywhere from the first to the
twentieth mile. An average ride for a
woman who probably never has taken
much exercise is ten miles, with sever
al dismountS, to walk up most hills,
and get the variation on the muscles
furnished by little walk. An average
ride for a young man in school or col
lege who has been in pretty good con-
dition for some time, if not absolutely
in training, if from forty to fifty miles
in an afternoon, without much stop.
An average ride for a girl of healthy
outdoor life and training-fOr there is
always a certain amount of physical
training in outdoor life-is twenty
miles in a day, with several stops.
Here are four grades, so to speak,
which merely give us basis to work
on. Now as to the time occupied. In
the first, the mans tWenty-mlle ride,
tt would be safe to say two hours
should be occupied in doing the ride.
In the second, or WOman'S ten-mile
ride, about an hour and a half alto
gether would be required. That is to
say, she will wheel at the rate of seven
or eight miles an hour to occupy a
good fifteen minutes in walking. The
third case, that of the young man in
training doing fifty miles, ought to oc-
cupy under four hours, or, at any rate,
not much more than four hours.

FATTENlNG HOGS COSTS ONE CENT

FATTENlNG HOGS COSTS ONE CENT
The editor recently heard of farmer
fattening hogs at less than one cent
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing Of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 blu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn, yielding 200 blu. per
acre, and the feeding on Sand Vetch,
Teosinte, Hundredfold Peas. etc. Now,
with such yields, the growing of hogs is
more profitable than silver mine.
Salzer's catalogue is full of rare
things for the farmer, gardener and cit
izen, and the editor believes that 1t
would pay everybody hundred-fold to
get Salzer's catalogue before purchas-
ing seeds.
If you will cut this out and send 1t
with lie cents postage TO the John A.
Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis, they
will mail you their mammoth seed cata-
logue and 10 samples of grasses and
grains, including above corn and bar

FINE HEIRS TO A THRONE.
Early Exploits of the Two Sons of the
Arehduks Karl Ludwig.

Early Exploits of the Two Sons of the
Arehduks Karl Ludwig.
The two young Austrian princes who,
by the death Of their father, Archduke
Charles Louis, are brought into the line
Of immediate succession, bear a popu-
lar i'll repute which would have been
excessive even in the Munich or Stutt-
CART Of a generation ago. says the
Saturday Review. Both are reputed
to be unable to read and write cor
rectly any one Of the languages In
which an Austrian ruler is supposed to
be proficient. After the suicide OF
Archduke Rudolph, in 1889, an effort
was made to train the mind of the
elder of these cousins, the Archduke
Francis Ferdinand. He was sent on q
tour around the world and the pretense
was carried to the length Of issuing O
record Of observations which he was
said to have written. All that he really
derived from the journey was a malady
from which he is now slowly dying.
He is the prince who scandali7ei
Vienna in his youth by hating a peas-
ant funeral procession which he met
while riding, and compelling the
mourneTs to hold the bier while he
leaped his horse backward and forward
over the coffin. His uncle, the emperor,
thrashed him with a stick for this ex-
plot, although he was at the time a
grown man, and an officer In the army.
His brother, Otto, is the hero Of another
exploit, involving public insult of the
grossest kind to his own wife, for which
the Austrfans were delighted to learn
that he also felt the emperor's cane.
In explanation, though not in defense.
Of their vicious worthlessness, it is re-
membered that these young men In
herit not only the worst qualities of the
degenerate Hapsburg blood, but are
grandsons Of that criminal Iunatic
whom Englishmen still remember-the
Neapolitan "Bomba."
