The wheelman himself can hardly be

stood by the roadside and broke its

of the cat which tried to go through tho

of these was the achievement Of cy-

into covey of cartridges and killed
one, his wheel passing over it's neck.
The only way in which this curious

THE END.

A short time ago friend of mine, a
manager at some works not far away,
had been to the bank for cash to pay
wages, the. sum being about $3.50. On
getting into the waiting room at the
station he sat down and placed his cash
bag by his side.
Immediately afterward a gentleman
entered and shook hands with him, and
they stood talking few minutes, when
the train came in. The gentleman went,
und SO did my friend, but on getting to
the train he thought he had lost his
bag and hurried back, only to find it
gone. He called the porters and station
master, and at last policeman arrived
with the intention of searching the
train. He looked at my friend and said
SIS it anything like the one you have
in your hand?" when to his amazement
he found he had been carrying it the
whole time. -Pearson S Weekly.

The Chinese place significance upon

color in value being gold. AT a be.
trothal the bridegroom elect sends his
sweetheart pair of bracelets fastened
together with piece of red ribbon or
cord. The bride and bridegroom drain
two wine cups at the wedding, which
are also connected by red cord. In
northern China the attendants wear
tall felt hats, and each hat has red
feather stuck upright in it. The attend
ants also carry the wedding presents
A sedan chair bears the bride herself.
In south China sedan most wonder
fully gilded is used by the wealthy
| classes, and it is decorated with what
appears at first sight to be brilliant in
laid stones, but which are in reality
the glossy feathers of the kingfisher. A
handsome cloth of glowing red with
trimmed border is also thrown over the
chair.
In the case of the poorer classes red
is also the prevailing bridal color, and
chair of ordinary carved wood, paint
ed bright red, is used. Above the door
of the chair kind of charm is placard-
ed or hung upon red cloth. The chair
itself is sent by the bridegroom, accom-
panied by what corresponds to our best
man. This functionary brings with him
letter written in yellow or gold upon
red paper, praying the lady to enter
and take her place.
Men dressed all in red and carrying
red parcels containing the presents fall
into the procession. Other bearers carry
boards and banners, inscribed in golden

The Peasant and uis Son.

One day peasant carried basket

son watched operations for time and
then inquired:

''By so doing each one will bring me
