A HARD KICK.


A family out in West Philadel-

fell to his lot none gave him half

was won't to use ss the sun went
down to water the bit OF green in

the street. This was 9 modern in

the neighborhood impressed him
greatly. The other evening he was
engaged in his favorite occupation
Of sprinkling the yard, when some
urchin began. from the other side
OF the street, to lombard him With
q volley of sticks and stones. Here
was an opportunity not TO be lost.
Elevating the nozzle, be directed

it reached the other side OF the
street il came in contact With Q
trolley wire, and in an instant the

"Thomas, how many quarts of milk do
you deliver daily to your customers?"
"Ninety-one, sir. "
"And how many COWS have you?''

The gentleman made some remarks
about an early winter and the state of
the roads, and then asked, "Thomas,
bow much milk per day do your COWS
averaged"
"Seven quarts, sir"
"Ah, umr' said the gentleman, as
he moved off.
Thomas looked after him, scratched
his head, and all at once grew pale as
he pulled out short pencil and began
to figure on the wagon cover: "Nine

you, he said. That man had no right
to tell you that you had heart disease.
If had found you rigbtat death Is door,
I certainly would never have let you

A Decidedly Novel Claim.

A claim once made on the explorer,
Cameron, in the neighborhood of Ga
boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work
mgs Of the native Africans mind.
Some of Cameron's possessions proved
unduly attractive to native, and he
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself Ke accordingly paid
another native $500 to procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it, but Mr.. Cameron
had perversely locked up the very arti-
Giles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon. The man could not car
ry out his bargain, and neither did he
feel that be could part with the money.
Therefore he ran off with it. What
moro logical than that the man who
was the loser by 5000 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredIy did expect.
He went to Mr. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the $500 which Re, Cameron, by
locking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and secondly, the
actual price Of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been i'll his possession.
1t is not stated that his expectations
were req !ized WatChmau.
