who dwelt in the valley of the north
became curious regarding the contin-
ued going and coming of his slaves;
wherefore, he disguised himself one
night and followed them to theirmount-
ain retreat. And learning here the
secret of the four plaques, an evil i'm
pulse s~traightway entered his heart to
have them all, one after another, in
flicted upon his despised brother in the
valley beyond. Therefore, biding his
chance, he approached the OBJ man
and, first offering his tribute, after the
manner Of the slaves about him, be-
sought the sorcerer to send the plague
of drought upon all the tobacco lands
to the southwark. So prodigious a re-
quest, however, was not to be accorded
the same readiness of favor as a minor
plea; therefore, the Obi man thought
to put the applicant off BY demanding
of him a fee such as no ordinary slave
could command. But, much to his sur-
prise, the required amount was imme-
diately forthcoming; wherefore, the
magician commanded the land crab,
and the drought went forth as desired.
When the other brother beheld the
great disaster that had been visited
upon his lands he was sore distressed.

Cocks Crow Saved Them.

A singular story is told Of a gallant
cock whose moral influence at a criti-
cal moment during the battle of st.
Vincent helped to save a British man.
of-war from the hands OF the enemy.
The fowl in question formed part of
the live stock Of the Marlborough-a
vessel which had suffered so severely
that her captain was considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of striking his flag. The
ship was entirely dismasted, while the
chief officers had been carried below
severely wounded and the crew, with
out anybody to cheer them up, were
beginning to grow sullen under the
heavy fire of the enemy, to which they
were hardly able to respond. At this
emergency a shot struck the coop in
which the fowls were confined. The
only surviving occupant, a cock, find
ing himself at liberty, fluttered up and
perched himself on the stump of the
mainmast and surveyed the scene Of
carnage around him. Then, Tapping
his wings in defiance, he began to crow
vociferously. He was answered by
three hearty and e~xhilarating cheers
from the crew, who all had a good
laugh, and with spirits thus renewed
continued the action with a vigor that
lasted until a turn in the battle rescued
them from their tight position.-Lon

An Idea About Money.

Two men were recently looking at
the new mint building, at Seventeenth
and Spring Garden streets, and one Of
them spoke Of the fact that in the
vaults are stored IS. 900 900 silver dol
lars. His companion made the state
nent that he would be willing to I'M
dertake the job Of carrying the coin
home In his pockets and hands II al
lowed to keep it. He claimed that no
could readily do 1t in one year. His
house Is about one mile distant from
the mint. The other man doubted his
ability to carry out the contract, and
they computed the matter. allowing 10
trips 4 day as a fair average. AS about
20 coins would weight a pound it was
agreed that 1000 coins a trip would be
the limit, thus giving a load Of fifty
pounds. This would make 6, 900 trips,
or at the rate specified 1t would take
$500 days. The would-be coin-carrier
now has a better idea of the number
represented by the figures and his u

Horse Was Last.

An amusing race was lately organ
lied by a New York amusement syndi-
cate. The starters were Sid, the larg-
est elephant in captivity, ridden by his
keeper, Bernard Dooley, and Ben Ali,
camel, driven by his keeper, William
Green; a bicycle, an automobile, and
Australian Ben, a horse. After a pre-
liminary canter it was arranged that
the elephant and camel should start
together, and that the automobile
should pursue them after they had
covered two laps, the horse and BIZ
cycle to follow at shorter intervals.
This arrangement was found neces-
sary because, when in line, the camel
was scared by the motor car, and the
horse also became very FESTIVE, while
the elephant threatened to squash the
cyclist with one Of his forefeet. The
race finished thus: Elephant Sid, 81
years old. 4 tons (Dooley), first; BIZ
cycle, Darby, 20 pounds (Schinneer),
second; automobile, ne name, 1000
pounds CHouck), third: camel, Ben Ali.

one tower remained, wherein sat the

Of entertaining stories he relates with
Inlm!table d~rollery many amusing hap

shore became a famous resort. 1t is
counted an important part of the sum-

this old man n hear him narrate
some Of the varied experiences Of his
ninety years life. He dearly loves

After that he retired to a somewhat

worth hearing, but there is one which
he tells with special glee. 1t relates to
