Not Enough for Two.

Patrick was the captain OF a brick
schooner that piled between New York
and Haverstraw on the Hudson. One
day his schooner vas loaded, ready to
start for New York. But Patrick
never gave the word to the crew to
cast off the hawsers and get under
woy. Instead, he sat lazily swinging
his leg over the spokes OF the wheel,
smoking his pipe.
The owner Of the brick.yard, who
was also the owner Of the schooner,
seeing that the vessel had not started,
and WISHING to have the load Landed
in New York as soon as possible,
rushed down to the dock aud irately
demanded OF Patrick why he did not
get under way.

wrestlers are mostly big men, and
the swells among them look as tall
as Patagonians, and as big as Daniel

ling, where competitor may lose if he
is thrown out of the ring, weight is an
important factor. The men are usually
matched in pairs, and they are called
upon by an usher. who announces
their names according to pre.ar.
ranged programme. Two names being
called, the men walk up the opposite

ABlYs' BRIGHT IDEA.

A boy WAC lives On big vegetable
farm just sonth Of Chicago is born 10
be q great inventor. There isn't
doubt Of 1t.
This fail his father had large crop
Of tomatoes, covering several acres oI
ground. A few Weeks ago they began
to get ripe in large quantities; and il
kept several meu l'nsy picking them
and packing them into boxes aud bss
kcts ready for shipment, says the
Record.
But, unfortunately, there were Ger
tain small birds in the neigBbo,bood
that were as we'll pleased with the
TOM. ,cs as WIS the farmer. And
Whenever ne meu's backs were tnrned
down would come those birds in
perfect swarm and begin TO peck into
the ripe red fruit II they had cou-
tented themselves With eating ups
few big tomatoes it wouldn't have
made so much difference, but they
peckel into dozens OF them, and when
tomato has so much as one little
hole in it it won't sell.
All this was very provoking to the
farmer, but our boy found remedy.
1t happened that he hasa lively little
black dog that was very fond of chas'
ing chickens, and he. knew that il he
could be kept in the garden there
wouldn't be any more trouble from
birds So our boy went out and droyt
two stout stakes forty or fifty feet
apart near the tomato bed, and be-
tween them he stretched o stout wire,
on which he had first threaded q small
ring. At one stake he placed an eUpty
box for kennel, and then he tied the
little black dog TO the ring. The next
time the swarm of birds came for ths
tomstoes that little dog ran ont and
chased them the whole length of his
wire, and he kept right at it until
they didn't dare to come back. Lots
OF times bs would have liked to rub
away to the house, but the wire held
him straight to business
