ssXiss the Fool and Let Him 60
Home"

The story goes that a certain So
ciety young man, noted for his hand
some bearing and winning voice, &C.
companied young lady to her home,
and, as all true lovers do, linger yet
a little while at the gate to have a
lovers tete-a tete with his fair com
panion. The night was beautiful, no
one was near to intrude, above all, be
loved her! Why shouldn't he kiss
her? With true maidenly modesty,
she refused. He implored. She still
held from him that which would fill his
cup of happiness. The request was
repeated several times, and so en-
crossed did the young man become IN
wooing, he failed to notice the ap-
proach of the paternal step. The old
gentleman had been there himself
and did not care to intrude upon the
happiness Of the young couple, SO
stepping behind the convenient rose
bush, waited, thinking the young
man would soon leave. In this be
was mistaken. The lover tarried over
the request until the patience of the
old gentleman WAS exhausted. A
voice the couple we'll knew, aroused
them from their happiness, in a tone
of impatient anger, by saying:
Daughter kiss that fool and let him
go home!" tits the report that the
young man only hit the ground in
high places in his endeavor to comply
with the old gentleman's command.

A CANINE AVENGER.
A Faithful Dog That Killed the Murderer
of His Master.

A Faithful Dog That Killed the Murdersr
of His Master.
A brilliant illustration of the fidelity
of his race was the dog at the court OF
Charles V. of France, who avenged his
masters murder. There were two
young men of high social position at
court who hated one another cordially,
because they were the rivals for the
hand of the same fair lady. The IA
vored lover, whom we will call the
marquis, suddenly disappeared. A
good deal of anxiety was felt at court,
for the missing man was very general
ly liked. Now the marquis had mag
ni6cent stag-hound, who had always
manifested great devotion to his
master. General attention was
drawn to this ANNA. by his
extraordinary conduct after the dis
appearance. He no sooner saw the
courtier who had been his masters
rival than he flew at his throat, and
would have torn him in pieces but for
the interference of bystanders. The
dog was dragged away with great
difficulty, and kept chained for some
time. He was so gentle with his keep
ers that they concluded, after few
days, to let him loose. The dog, find.
ing himself at liberty, Immediately
sought out the courtier, and would
have attacked him as on the former oc-
casion, but that gentleman saw him
coming, and rushing to his room, shut
himself in.
This persistent enmity on the dogs
part aroused suspician against the RI
val of the marquis. 1t was limited that
the latter had been the victim of foul
play. The august countenance frown-
ed; the court ladies whispered to-
gether and drew haughtily aside as tho
suspected man passed by. The gentle.
men OF tho royal household looked
coldly upon him; he found himself
alone at the hunt, unpledged, and
avoided at the feast. This state Of
things could not be endured, 30 he
petitioned the king that the matter
might be put to trial by combat be-
tween the stag-hound and himself.
Charles granted the request, and the
combat took place. The gentleman
was armed, aud the dog had only such
weapons as nature had given him.
Nevertheless, the animal defeated his
antagonist, and would have killed him,
but the king ordered his .men to inter-
fere. AS the courtier lay dying from
the wounds inflicted by the noble but
ferocious dog, he was overtaken by
remorse, and confessed that he was In
truth the muir derer of his rival.-St.
Louis Republic.

wooDcocK's WHISTLE.
That Musical Sound Is Made by the Birds
Wings.

AT various times during the past few
years have read with much interest
discussions in Forest and Stream as TO
how the woodcock makes his whistle.
that delicious ripple of melody so fas-
cinating to the ear of the sportsman
who hunts the shy and handsome game
bird.
While shooting woodcock recently in
company with friend this question
was discussed. my friend at once as
severating that the whistle was made
by the birds wings and not through the
bill by the aid of the throat. at the same
shoot woodcock without injuring It's
wings, and without killing it, simply
making n body shot sufficiently hard
to bring the bird to the ground, call
your dog TO heel, retrieve the bird YOUR
self, hold him by the bill suspended in
the air at arms length, and in futter-
ing to escape from your hand the
whistle will be made by the birds
wings"
While shooting few days later with
another friend 1 was fortunate enough
TO make body shot on woodcock,
which came to the ground with the
wings unbroken. The dog caught the
bird, which had attempted to fly after
it struck the ground. took it from the
dogs mouth. and. seeing its wings were
unbroken. I determined to make the
test then and there.
After telling my friend what | was
about to do I held the bird by its bill
at arms length. and the result was that
it made the whistle three times, each
time by executing q rotary movement
OF the wings and body while fiuttering.
II any sportsman doubts this state
ment wish he would do as have done
and all doubt will be dispelled from his
mind as to how this enchanting whistle
Is produced.-Forest and Stream.

Finished with Him.

A young gentleman who lately left
his fathers house. having exhausted his
credit, telegraphed the other day to his
parents:
"Your son Walter was killed this
morning by falling chimney. What
shall we dowith the remains?"
In reply a check was sent for ego,
with the request: BURY them"
The young gentleman pocketed the
money and had an elaborate spree.
When in condition for writing he sent
his father the following note:
az have just learned that an infamous
scoundrel named Barker sent you a
fictitious account of my death and
swindled you out of EGO. He also bor-
rowed 10 from me and left the coun-
try. / write to inform you that i am
still alive, and long to see the parental
roof again. / am in somewhat reduced
circumstances, the accumuations OF
the last five years having been lost
a disastrous stock speculation-and il
you would only spare me 70 l would
he ever thankful for your favor. Give
my love to ALL"
A few days later the cunning youth
received the following dignified letter
from his outraged parent:
my Dear Son: have buried you
once, and that is the end of it. I de-
cline to have any transactions with
ghost. Yours in the flesh, Father

Luther and Melancthon were talk

Luther got up and said to Melanc-

Death to many, nay, to all, Is &

sha II never again see its blossoming
spring, its autumnal fruits, its
sparkling streams, and to say
farewell to those with whom
we played in childhood or coun-
seled in manhood. In that night,
like Jacob. we may have to wrestle,
but God will not leave us unblessed.
1t shall not be told in Heaven that a
dying soul cried unto God for help,
but was not delivered. The lattice
