For His Legs.

When Sir Francis Grant, the portrait
painter, was at his zenith, he had a hunt
ing box at Melton. An inquisitive Scotch
baronet was invited there for the hunting.
Sir Francis had another guest, as it ap-
peared, on q visit. He was q dull, fiat old
man, who took snuff and looked the other
way when the table talk ran on hounds
and horses. The sight of a fox's brush
awoke no enthusiasm. He seemed to
take nc earthly interest in anything but
his snuff and his meals. The Scotch bar
onet at last could contain no longer his
excited curiosity. II say, Grant," he
said, "what motive have you in keeping

are SO keen on. The smell of a fox's earth

he does not know tie difference between a
Thoroughbred and an Irish hunter, nor
does he look a person to fancy your por-

''You are puzzled, my dear fellow" re-
turned Sir Francis, ''to know why I keep
him here. I brought him down for his
legs" ''For what?' "For his legs. You
see, I am doing a full length of the Duke

be reached in "a hours travel from San

stage line Of about 30 miles conducts you
to your destination.
There is a bridge In Linkville that spans
Klamath river. From this bridge, which
is a vantage point as far as view is con-
oerned, a most extraordinary sight meets
the eyes. Along the river banks, at irreg-
ular intervals of q few yards. are seen
dark balls ranging from a foot to three
feet in diameter. They are stationary and
as passive as q bowlder. which they re.
semble in color. But IL a stone is hurled

horror snakes will crawl of in every d.
