You have heard the story of thu
miller of Gheels He is represented
as kind of Belgian Wise Man of
Gotham. He set up two windmills
in the same lot, and he reflected

in one lot for two windmills, and SO

worked the Mistress.

Here is good story of the dan
gers of giving gratuitous informa-
ton. A servant wounded her hand
with the prong of a fork. In reply
to her mistress inquiries she ex-
planned that she was very nervous
lest the wound should become in
famed, as she believed the fork to
be nickel plated.
"Oh, You may set your mind at
ease on that score!'' replied the mis-
tress. "Those forks are all silver.
The next morning forks and serv-
ant were missing Strand Maya

nose instead of Il ring. If the ladies

A Dogs Memory Honored.

Under the shadow of the monument
erected to Henry Clay, in cemetery
famed in many states for its beauty and
the high birth of those who sleep their
last sleep within its confines, there has
recently been placed the body Of a dog.
The animal SO highly honored was the
property of the late John M. Clay, and
it is Mr.. Clay's widow who has placed
the animals remains near those of her
husband and only a few feet from the
last resting place of the man who had
rather be right than be president.
No such instance has been known in
the history Of the south. Mans love for
his dog is proverbial. Poets have sung
Of it and novelists and moralists ex-
plotted the faithfulness of the canine,
but it has been left for Kentucky to
furnish the most notable instance of
mans belief that
Admitted to that equal sky,
His faithful dog shall bear him company.
1t is difficulty for person who has
not lived in the south, and particularly
in Kentucky, to understand what a
really faithful dog is to a family in this
section below Mason and Dixon's line.
In Kentucky the love for an animal is
almost as strong as that love for the
soil which exists among residents of
other parts of the United States.

CURIOUS CONTESTS.
BarreI-Rolling and
Race of Cripplcs.

Race of Cripplcs.
Nogeant, the thrifty little town on
the River Marine, in France, seems des-
tined to become famous for the oldest
contests enacted in modern times, says
the New York Journal. Not long ago
the public place of the municipality
was the scene of a race of cripples. and
few days later a barrel-rolling con-
test was inaugurated, in which some of
the most prominent citizens partici-
pated.
The other day the town was treated
to the unique spectacle of whipcrack-
ing contest, with about so contestants.
The whips were. in class A, the usual
drivers whips. and in class b the >
called perpignan, much resembling the
long whips used by the lunibermen In
northern Minnesota and Wisconsin on
their log sleighs.
At least 80 different kinds of crack
ing sounds can be made by these whips
in the hands of an expert, and the
prizes were distributed TO those who
produced the most of these sounds in
rapid succession. The judges laid con-
siderable emphasis in this odd con-
test on the kind of crackings which
would stir horse most without inJur-
ing him. In conclusion, all the drivers
cracked theiv whips in chorus, which
had the effect of ear-deafening can
nonade.
A driver by the name of Lermission
received the first prize. This man can
handle the whip in so mastery man
uer that he is able to crack the Mar
seillaise" and familiar French songs
out of it. ..-----..
