Jack didn't say much, but he held

lane, where no one could see.
So it wasn't long before they came
to the house, where everyone seemed
in trouble except Tibby-cat, who was
doing unconcernedly in front of the
fire. Dada, who had just come home

sobbing on the sofa in the drawing
room because she was not well enough
to get up. Poor Auntie Jill was most
wretched of all, because she had cried
all her tears away in the afternoon
and had none left for the babies.
What shout of delight went up as
they came in through the open door!
Dada snatched up his boy and mamma
called eagerly for them from the draw
ing-room, so Jack followed in with
Babs half asleep in his arms. Dada

While serving on men-of-war they

Zone of the most remarkable Incl
dents of death by fright that l ever
came across" said a local celebrity
the other day, happened in Mexico
several years ago, when l was making
trip through the upper portion of the
republic on horseback. We had in the
crowd a couple of MeXicans, who did
the camp work and cooked for the
party, which included besides myself
couple of friends. One evening one of
the MeXicans was absent for several
hours from the camp and / started out
to find him. l went into the bush in
the direction 1 had seen the fellow go
and had not walked more than quar-
ter of a mile before L caught sight of
Manuelo, that was his name, reclining
in comfortable manner against the
trunk of small mesquite bush. AS
drew nearer was surprised to see the
fellows face set in fearful stare, just
as if he might have seen ghost. My
establishment was considerably accen-
tuated when observed, coiled in Man

was swaying its head in a languorous
manner, kissing slightly, but not rat

killing the snake, as bad a marksman as
l was, and dared not make a noise for
fear the snake would bury its fangs in
the flesh of the Mexican. Icrept toward
the pair. There was a sudden cessation
in the Kissing and the head swayed no
more. It had heard me. There was q
sudden uncoiling of its folds and be-

off the lap of Manuelo and disappeared.
The Mexican still gazed into vacancy
with the same awful stare of horror l
had first noticed. 1 put my hand upon
his shoulder and there was no response.
He was dead. Actually, as it turned
out, killed by fright. He must have
gone to sleep and while slumbering the
RATHER had crawled from the bush into
his lap. Awakening, the unfortunate
man must have seen the snake before
he moved, and, held fascinated by the
gaze of the reptile, aud realizing that
to move must be denth, had stood the
strain until the horror had killed him."

dog give vent to various patriotic cries,
such as "Vive l'armee! Vive la France!"
and "Vive lie president de la repub-

departure the words "Adieu, monsieur"
were politely uttered. 1t had occurred
to him that ventriloquism might have

there was positively no deception. Pa

THE MEXICAN PECCARY.
1t Never Turns Out for Anything.
Man or Beast.

1t Never Turns Out for Anything.
Man or Beast.
1.-The most vicious and fearless of the
brute creation is the peccary, or wild
hog of Mexico" said c. w. Bartlett, of
Laredo, Tex. This animal seems ut
terly devoid of the emotion of fear. L
have never seen it turn hairs breadth
out of it's path for any living thing.
Man is its special bette noire. 1t dis
plays an intelligence in fighting the
human strangely at variance with its
apparently complete lack of any mental
attributes, save the very lowest order
of instinct. They are rarely found sing
ly, but go in droves of from hundred
to thousands. Their ability to scent
men is particularly marked. l have
known drove of them to scent a man
mile off and strike as straight for him
as the arrow flies. There is no use to
try to brighten them with guns. The
cannonading of full battery would
have no more effect on them than the
popping of firecracker. The only
thing to do when they get after you is
to run away from them as fast as a
horse can carry you. And then there is
no certainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift as horse, and
their endurance is as great as their
yiciousness.
"a friend of mine encountered drove
of them in n wild part of Mexico few
years ago, and his escape was miracu-
lous. He very foolishly shot and wound
ed a number of them. Then he took
refuge in tree. The peccaries kept
him in the tree all that day and through
the night. They circled around the
tree, grunting and squealing their de-
light at the prospect of n feast. He soon
exhausted his ammunition, and
brought down peccary at each fire.
But this had no terror for the beasts.
Along toward morning the brutes be-
gan to eat the ones he had killed, and
when they thus satisfied the cravings
of their stomachs they formed in line
and trotted off. If they had not had
some of their own number to devour
they would have guarded that tree until
my friend, through sheer exhaustion,
dropped from his perch and allowed
them to make meal of him. The wild
cats and tigers that infest the Mexican
wilds flee from the peccaries with in
stinctive fear, and even rattlesnakes
keep out of their path. st. Louis Re-

Callahan Farming.

The raising of goldfish is special in
dustry, and one Of the largest goldfish
farms is at Spring Lake, Ind. When
young the goldfish Is said to resemble
in color and general appearance an or
binary minnow. After awhile they turn
dark, becoming occasionally almost
black. Then reddish hue begins to
appear, the true golden color being de-
veloped Mt the average of one year or
less. A few individuals, however, never
change their original silver color, and
sometimes the red and gold hues
make their appearance only in patches.
Not infrequently goldfish develop two
