lion and a farmer: Near Tillamook.
Ore, an old German farmer CHANGED to
be driving along the beach, when his
watchful gaze was greeted by the sight
OF a large sea lion some distance out
on the sand, fast asleep. 1t was the
work Of moment for Jacob to make
a lasso Of a stout rope he had in his
wagon, fasten the end of it to the hind
axle, and adjust the moose over the sea
lions head. Then Jacob jumped into
the wagon and started homeward with
his prize. The sea lion did the same,
and as his team was the stronger Of the
two. Jacob started seward at a good
pace. and only saved himself and his
"outfit" by springing quickly to the
ground, grasping his jack knife and
cutting the rope.

DEAR OLD TOMS LITTLE TRICK
Hard on the other Fellow but He Had
to Stand 1t.

Hard on the other Fellow but He Had
to Stand 1t.
I'm an old bachelor now, have no re-
lations except those so distant that ]
resent their being relations at all, live
at hotel and find little comfort except
in Toms family, says writer in the
Detroit Free Press. He and l grew up
together, roomed together in college
and did business together for years. We
swore eternal friendship, come what
might, and many were the pranks we
played on each other, going to length
that none but a fast friend will per-
NIT.
Tom and l were both athletes, both
given to society and both in favor with
the fair sex. On a trip home for the
Christmas vacation we participated in
a railroad wreck. From a burning
car | had the good fortune to rescue a
beautiful young lady who would have
persisted but for me. She was uncon-
scious, was nearly so and in the fear
full excitement We were separated
without either knowing who the other
was. But she was always with me in
memory and, by some strange trick Of
mysticism, l was hopelessly in love
with her. After months of detective
work on my part / found her and man
aged an acquaintance. At every meet
! ing | wanted to tell her how, next to
her, the dearest thing in my life was
the fact of having saved her life, but
| it seemed so much like boasting and
appealing to her gratitude that l fore
| bore.
One evening when l called she met
me with both hands extended and a ra-
| diant look of happiness. She wanted
my congratulations on the fact that
she was going to marry Tom. Ever
since my horrible experience in that
| wreck" she said, Il have loved the
man who averted such an awful fate
! Only the other day l learned it was
! dear old Tom, and now we are to be
married."
Dear old Tom be" l began in
my desperation, but he was dear old
| Tom with all his faults. Hadn't
played him many a trick? So l took
her hand and said the conventional
words that made her eyes glow with
| pleasure. Then | went away for weeks
to wrestle with myself, but l was back
to stand up at the wedding. Toms
children will get all my money, for
their mother is the only woman l ever
loved and their father has always been
my chum.
