A Sleeper.
From Worthingt0m'S Magazine.
I H..

From Worthingt0m'S Magazine
\ sleeper is one who sleeps. \ sleeper
is that in which the sleeper sleeps. y
sleeper is that on which the sleeper which
carries the sleeper while he sleeps runs
Therefore while the sleeper sleeps in the
sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over
the sleeper under the sleeper until the
sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps off
the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the
sleeper by striking the sleeper under the
sleeper. and there Is no longer any sleeper
sleeping in the sleeper of the sleeper.

twoscore men from neighboring ranches

How a Doe Lost His COURAGE.

"Talk about taking the spirit out of
a dog" said the man who owned four
CANNES Of doubtful breed, in the hear
ing of a Chicago Journal reporter, 81
never saw anything to match the way
the wind was took out of little Whit
fet owned a couple of years ago. The
animal was the terror Of the neigh
bOrhOOd. Not that he ever hurt any
body. He wasn't much bigger than a
pint of cider for one thing, and don't
believe he ever meant any real harm.
But he used to bark at everything that
came down the pike.
ut didn't matter how big dog it
was, If his front paw was thicker than
my whiffet's whole body, the little fell
low would be out after him, fightin'
mad to all appearances. OF course, the
big dog wouldn't tackle anything so
small as TOugh-that's what we called
him-so he always came away think
ing he had won. Same way with peo-
pie. Nobody had the heart to kick
though he richly deserved it many
time.
DuL IL was WHICH IHC CllCuo Pal
passed the house that he met his
match. OF course, he began to bark the
moment the procession came in sight
But he seemed to know that the big
gest things had not arrived yet, and
he saved up most of his energies until
the elephants appeared Then he ran
out into the street and set up the aw-
fullest barking ever heard out Of
anything so small.
"He pranced around in front of the
biggest elephant. 1t didn't appear to
pay any attention to him, but all Of
