cords of frewood from farmer. who
was to cord the wood up in the govern

three cords had been piled. Then he
could stand it no longer, and. walking
up to the farmer, he said:

The farmer, evidently disgusted at
being told how to do his own work, an

could. That "Uncle Dick" would take

The Right Kind.

Everybody has heard of President
Lincoln's reply when asked the ques-
tion, "How long ought mans legs to
be?'' that he had "always thought a
man 8 legs ought to be long enough to
reach from his body to the ground. .
Somewhat similar was the answer
given by a farmer who went to town
one windy day in March. Seeing several
men chasing their hats along the street
at considerable sacrifice of dignity, be
remarked:
ssIf them fellers had the right kind Of
heads they wouldn' t have nosuch trou-
bic as that
'sDo you have the right kind Of head,
uncle:" inquired a bystander.

Don't your hat never blow off,
"Never.''
"Well, what is the right kind 2" he
was asked by several.
"Why,'' rejoined the old farmer,

push up into hat fur enough to hold
it on tight
There was more in his answer than
appeared on the surface. The right kind
OF head is one of the great needs of
many of us.-Detroit Free Press

The Most Notable LnndmnrE,

The greatest extent Of the earth 8 suf-
face which can be seen from one spot
depends on two circumstances-frst,
the elevation above the sea level, and,
secondly, the bsence Of intervening OBJ
stacles such as. may obstruct the line Of
sight.
The point that best satisfies these con-
ditions is the Nevada of Cayambe, a
peak on the line Of the equator in the
north of the Andes. rising 19. 535 feet
above the sea.
This has been described by travellers
as the most notable landmark in the
world. 1t commands from its position
the whole valley Of the Amazon, and
the view in this direction, over low
lying country, is absolutely unlimited
except by the horizon.
It has an equal range toward the
northwest, and its line Of view stretches
right across the gulf Of Panama.
Though the country toward the south is
mountainous, it encounters no higher
peak.
It is only toward the southwest that
it's view crosses Chimborazo, which is
higher, but is surrounded on all sides
by high peaks. and consequently does
not embrace so wide an extent Of coun-
try.-Kansas City Times.

THE CHASE OF THE GINGERBREAD

Once, when a baker in Fairyville
Was making cakes, as bakers will.
He made and put by itself in pan
3 a dear little, queer little, gingerbread man.
By and by, when the cakes were brown.
He opened the oven, when nimhly down
Hopped the queer little man and, blinking his
eyes,
Called out to the baker, who stared in sur.
prise:
Run, run, fast as you canl
Can't catch me. little gingerbread mani
The baker ran, his wife ran, too.
Ard puss started up with brave Meow

Old Rover ran with gruf tBowwow!
Followed by Brindle, the staid old COW.
Tho horse broke out of the barn with neigh.
But he heard the echo from far away
Run, run. fast as you canf
Can't catch me, little gingerbread mani"
Mar. and woman. horse and cow,
Dog and cat, were after him now..
But none could run ac fest as he,
And over HIS shoulder he called in glee:
"Run, run, fast as yon canl
Can't catch me. little gingerbread man
But a woK crept out Of the woods at last,
And wolves, he knew, could run 80 fast,
Yet he hurried on and bravely cried,
Just as the wolf bounded up by his side:

And now three -fourths was gone. you'll note.
Then he swallowed the head, as away he ran,
And that was the last Of the gingerbread man.

Worse Than Dynamite.

Zone Of the strangest accidents in
nv experience. said boiler EXPERT
OCCURRED few years ago at small
sawmill town over in Texas. They had
a narrow gauge road on which logs
were hauled by a pony locomotive. one
day the two forward wheels of the little
machine jumped the track, and the crew
of seven men went out to jack it into
place. AS the engine stood it had cant
forward, which threw all the water IN
the boiler to the front end, and as there
was lively fire in the box it soon got
the other end redhot. This trifing cir
cumstance was overlooked by the crew,
who proceeded calmly with the jacking,
six of the1l working at the sides and
one lying fat on his stomach under the
rear trucks.
.sAs the engine slowly assumed a
horizontal position the water ran back
to the redhot portion, and. bang, tho
whole thing disappeared in space. The
six mon also disappeared. They were
distributed in small sections over at
least ten acres, and there wasn't enough
oft of either engine or crew to make a
respectable souvenir. While this dlsln-
tegration was in progress the man who
had been lying fiat on his stomach was
experiencing the surprise Of his life. He
had heard a hideous clap of thunder,
and when he looked up. 10 and behold,
he was all by his lonely. His comrades
and the pony locomotive, which was
but just then standing over his back,
had vanished like a dream. He was
wholly unhurt. New Orleans Times

having on his hands 100 or more re-

whole lot to the native governor to be
confined. They staid there a little
while and then marched out of the pris-
on and down the river road in front of
the consuls Office, each one bearing on
his shoulder pole which he had taken
out Of the prison stockade. The consul
wrote about the case to the secretary Of
state, giving the facts and urging upon
his attention the disgrace attending the
situation. He got his answer:
