Brown lived between Gray and Green.
Green was as quiet neighbor as you
could wish to have, and so was Gray,
for that matter, but he had a barking
dog that was the torment of Brown s
life. One day in his desperation he told
Gray that if he would get rid of the
dog be would give him So.
''All right" said Gray. "I'll do it."
Meeting Gray down town that after
noon Brown asked, "Have you done
what you agreed to do and got rid of
that dog?"
Gray-Yes, I've got rid of him.
Brown-Tbank goodnessl Now !

did you do with him?

Hops of a Disturbance.

He had been tossed about uncomfort-
ably for so years. He had gentle, con-
templative, book reading disposition,
was fond of pretty things, good man
ners and repose. But he had had to
work hard at things which ruffled his
spirit. "Intolerabie" was the word most
frequently on his lips. But now he has
an easy. salaried position, congenial
work, and for the time is comfortable.
The other evening he sat in his cheer
full apartment, with a warm dressing
gown about him, and talked to friend
about how the troubles of life had fallen
away from him, how at last he had ar
rived in the haven. His friend told him
that he was just in the condition to ex-
perience new disturbance, deeper than
all the others; that this rest was only a
lull in the storm.
"What do you mean?' he asked.
The reply was connter question.
care you as much resolved as ever
to live alone?' this friend asked.
There was pause. Then the contem-
plative man said slowly, "As an alb
stract proposition marriage doesn't seem
as disagreeable to me as it did.
His friend smiled. "You will find
that you will be deeply disturbed again
before very long," he said.-New York

these missiles armed themselves with
cloGs of turf hastily torn from the

band wagon. Cannon crackers were
thrown, and exploding under the six
horses made them frantic. a serious
runaway might have resulted had not
one of the leaders stumbled and fell,
dragging down the other horses with
him. The students meanwhile kept up
merciless bombardment with eggs and
vegetables.
On the return the parade wheeled into
John lane and the students made a
grand rush to head off the procession.
Again the employees of the circus were
egged. The cowboys and Indians finally
charged the students, and used their
whips freely. That was the turning
point of the affair Stung by the whips
and bruised by the riders running into
them, the students became ugly, and in
a moment missiles that were annoying
but not dangerous were replaced by
stones, and the fight became serious.
Revolvers were drawn, but fortunately
the owners were wise enough to fire
over the heads of the enemy.
