priests make the small scrprnts go

not venture to touch the largest ones
some OF which are large enough to en-
fold bullock In their coils.
1t often happens that some of thps.

have the greatest difficulty in coaxiny

ErnuInted Hannibal.

When Admiral George Dewey and
his younger sister were small children
together In Montpelier, VT, they read
IN account OF Hannibal crossing the
Alps. According to Max Bennett
Thrasher, who relates the incident in
Self Culture, the boy was strongly i'm
pressed with the story. rs. In fact, he
seems to have been with almost any
thing pertaining to war.
Just back Of the statehouse Is a high
and very steep hill, at that time proba-
bly, bare Of houses. since even now only
very few have been able to perch
upon its slopes Fitting himself and
his sister out with such impedimcnta
as he thought suitable one winter day
and naming the high hill the Alps,
young Dewey started to cross them, he
being Hannibal and his sister the
army. It was cold, and the ground
was covered with deep snow, but the
endurance OF the army did not give out
until she had become so chilled that
she was sick In bed for a week after
ward as a result.
Between Admiral Dewey and his sis
ter existed sympathy of the most In
timate nature. In one of his letters to
her after the battle Of Maniln he said:
"Just a line to thank you for your
kind letter and also for your prayers
for my safety. Perhaps they did help.

the passengers had more or less excuse

fresh egg resting Snugly on the mans

No one could speak the mans Ian

he should know what had happened.
Twenty index fingers pointed to the
hen, and 40 eyes were turned in the
same direction. Finally the stranger
lifted the hen tendcrly, and the secret
was revealed.
Then he was wide awake. With his
left hand he held the egg aloft, that all
might see; with his right hand he af-

body smiled. All at once it seemed to
occur to him that refreshments were in

of the seat to open way to the intc-

: There is plenty of work to do

There is plenty of work to do in
winter if the farm is rightly managed.
1t is the season Of the year for re-
pairs and renewals. Every implement
or piece of machinery should be over
hauled and all repairs ordered, so as
to be ready for the spring work. An
implement that is in good order saves
labor and enables the farmer to hurry
with thc1early work when every day
is valuable. the farmer who does not
place his implements under cover at
thisNscason may be forced to buy new
ones much earlier than he thinks.
