THEIR TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

Chas. and Ida Gould, now residing
in San Francisco, were most happily
surprised on the Goth anniversary of
their wedding by 35 friends who
brought with them an elegant china
dinner set of 101 pieces that were sent
in by individuals. Bridal roses, Gala
lilies and various other choice bo-
quets were sent in to ornament their
cosy home and a very enjoyable
evening was passed by all. They
have made many friends in the city
by the Golden Gate, all of whom were
strangers on their arrival here. The
lunch served was all heart could wish
and much amusement was caused by
the bride cutting the wedding cake,
for she was not aware of the Joke, and
her embarrassment created round
of applause when investigation was
made "why she could not cut evenly"
to find the cake full of tiny china dolls,
enough for each of the guests to keep
one as a souvenir of the occasion.
Everything was prearranged admir-
ably by their landlady, and a more
complete, happy surprise party was
never given. NJ. AT.

Both together realizing $25. The

turkeys and three turkeys for a dol

which they assented. Every well, y
said he, "since five cost two dollars
therefore the 60 will equal 1874"

thought they were cheated. Where
does the other dollar come in?

Another, near Cotton, will have $4,000

Sheep Clevcrly 1Ierded to the Brink OF .
Precipice.
An incident in illustration of smart
trick said to be frequently played by
coyotes in securing food from among
the herds of sheep on western ranches
is related by u rancher of Grant county,
Oregon. lie had a herd of about L.
900 sheep, and recently missed large
number. In searching for them n
herder found three sheep lying on the
brink of II precipice, their Threats
marked with the teeth of IA coyote. He
made his way to the bottom, a canyon,
300 feet below, and there found the
bodies of no sheep, or rather parts Of
their bodies, for the coyotes had been
feeding on the carcasses for week or
more. From other incidents of like
character it was concluded that several
coyotes had got among the herd when
the sheep were driven off their bedding
during a storm, and had herded them
to the brink of the precipice, much as Il
lot of sheep dogs would drive sheep.
When the edge was reached the coyotes
pressed the herd SO hard in the rear
that the 40 at the front either jumped
or were pushed over the precipice.

Fabric Changes Color with Varying
Weather Conditions.
A fabric that changes color under
varying conditions of the weather has
just been produced
No practical use of the new invention
has yet been made, except few sample
neckties which the inventor has dis
tributed among his friends. The fab
ric of which the neckties are made, says
Answers, resembles a coarse linen.
When the weather is warm and fair the
color is dark blue. In cold weather it
changes to purple. The approach OF
rain is heralded by pink, and snow
causes the necktie to become startling
green.
The invention marks new era in
fashions. Shirts, trousers, gowns and
other articles of dress can be made OF
the material. The invention is yet in
its infancy. When it has been developed
to a greater extent the woman of fash
ion can array herself in a blue gown in
! the morning. BY noon it will turn to q
mauve The afternoon will find it pink,
and the evening some other color.
As a labor-saving institution the new
cloth is exceedingly valuable. Their
mometers and barometers will go out
of fashion. The 'cty man. as he puts
on his shirt in the morning has but to
glance at the color. If il is purple, he
wears his heaviest overcoat. If 1T is
pink, he takes his umbrella under his
arm When sails are made of chameleon

at his mainsail to know what kind OF

This desire for education is, indeed,
the best feature in the intellectual tenn

well-known ambition of the Scottish

by the opening up of other paths Of in

Treated All People Alike In Courteous
Horace Greeley once said: II doubt
whether man, woman or child, white or
black, bound or free, virtuous or Vi
cious, ever accosted or reached forth a
hand to Abraham Lincoln and detect
ed in his countenance or manner any
repugnance or shrinking from the prof
fered contact, any assumption of supe-
riority, or betrayal of disdain.'
Frederick Douglas, the orator and
patriot, is credited with saying: Mr..
Lincoln is the only white man with
whom have ever talked, or in whose
presence l have ever been, who did not
consciously or unconsciously betray to
me that he recognized my color
George Bancroft, the historian, al
luding to this characteristic, which was
never SO conspicuously manifested as
during the darker days of the war
beautifully illustrates it in these mem
orable words: AS n child, in a dark
night, on a rugged way, catching hold
of the hand of it's father for guidance
and support, Lincoln chung fast to the
hand of the people and moved calmly

"PA FELT LONELY"



A Cleveland family was in court the
other day. A daughter was one of the
witnesses, and she had this cheerful
tale to tell of her father: PA was sit
ting in his saloon, feeling lonely. He
went to the barn, and putting halter
on his horse brought him into the
house, saying he wanted the animal
to eat supper with him. Pa made me
set plate for the horse. Then he took
hold Of the horses front legs and lifted
them up on the table. We all Shutdown to
supper and the horse began to eat. Pa
picked up n mug of beer and began to
laugh and throw both hands in the air.
The mug hit the horse on the nose. The
beast pulled his feet down, dragging
the tablecloth and upsetting the table.
The horse backed up and sat squarely
on redhOt stove. This burned its
tail SO the animal kicked the stove over
and ran out OF the door. I screamed
and pa threw lamp at me. The house
came near catching fire, and a police
man came in. Pa has been arrested

Ing the Family Tree.
The attendance in the public libraries
are kept busy these days by horde OF
callers who have suddenly developed
a mania for genealogical research In
fact, says the New York Herald, 1t seems
to have become a fad to trace the family
tree. The cause of it is not easily ex-
plainable. 1t is possible, however, that
circulars calling for heirs to large 1or-
tunes. scattered broadcast by many law
yers throughout the country, may be re-
sponsible for this fad.
The seekers look carefully through
the old books, records and histories
and every little clew found therein Is
coveted with avidity. There have been
rare cases where some startling ana I'M
! portant clew has been found, but they
are few and far between.
One of the library attendants told me
that many of the genealogical callers
were young men, who think goou

that may be, the fad, if it is really a fad'

Left Dtled Animals.

It is we'll known that left handedness
has often been observed in animals.
According to Vierordt, parrots seize OBJ
jects with the left claw by preference,
or exclusively. The lion strikes with
the left paw, and Livingstone stated as
his opinion that all animals are left
