IL Was Worth IA shilling to Pick
Those Bones.
Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, of Revolu-
tionary fame, was born and bred in
Middleboro, Mass. He was always
fond of joke and was quick to seize
an opportunity to Indulge his propen-
sity, as the following incident, related
by Dr. Hlldreth, well illustrates. His
father. also a Colonel Sproat, kept n
tavern, One day while Ebenezer was
at home on furlough three private
soldiers. on their return from the seat
of war, called for II cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set on the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants of
the family dinner, which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt little vexed that the
defenders of the country were not
more bountlfully supplied. The sol
diers, after satisfying their appettes,
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth

"Mother," he said, 'how much Is II
worth to pick those bones?"

TRAINING WATCHDOGS.
The Method That Is Used by n Ger
man InstrUct0r,

The Method That Is Used by n Ger
man Instructor.
Although 1t is generally believed that
watchdogs are "to the manner born,"
1t seems that a certain amount of train
ing helps very much to turn out real
ly good one. This system of training
has developed into regular business
in Berlin, where one Herr Straus has
an academy from which watchdogs
are turned out by the hundred every
year.
His system is educational and is ap-
piled to almost every kind of dog. He
first teaches the animal obedience by
training 1t to perform certain tricks"
at command and then trains it to dis
tinguish between visitor and bur-
glar and what part of mans body
should be attacked to render the man
helpless.
Outside of the gate the trainer places
dummy representing the burglar and
to the latch is attached a string. BY
means of the string the gate is opened
slowly, until the head of the dummy
becomes visible, when the dog is
taught to fly at its throat. Herr Straus
is very particular about this He makes
his dogs attack the throat or the upper
part of the body always. Sometimes a
real man well padded takes the place
of the dummy, and of course he is well
paid for his services.
All dogs, 1t seems, may be made good
| watchdogs, but the st. Bernards and the
Russian wolfhounds are the best where
property of great value is to be guard
ed For dogs not so fierce as they are
different system of training is used.
They soon learn to guard anything
committed to their care, but are not so
quick to attack an intruder as the
tiercer dogs re.-Philadelpha Times.

Ants Invent n Wagon,

"There are q good many ants of diff
ferent varieties on the lot at my coun-
try place, near Covington, and last
year I began to make a systematic
study of their habits" says contribu-
tor to the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat. Near one of my flower beds is
a colony of small red ants that are ex-
tremely industrious in collecting food,
and they frequently perform the most
astonishing engineering feats in trans
porting heavy burdens to their home.
"Not long ago | watched a party of
about dozen who had found the body
of small spider and were dragging 1t
toward the nest. The spider had hairy
legs, which stuck out in every direction
and caught on obstacles, greatly re-
tardng progress. For several min
utes the ants toiled away with their
awkward booty and then stopped and
seemed to hold council. A minute
fragment of dry leaf was lying on the
ground, and presently they all lay hold
and pulled the spider on top of it.
Then they seized the edges and slid it
along without difficulty"

Hc In the One Exception to the Kind.
Iy Nature of Birds.
Bad temper and cruelty are perhaps
the most obvious signs of mental dc
generation in the beasts The larger
monkeys, for instance, become as bad
tempered as violent man when they
grow old, and many In their treatment
of other animals arc cruel as we use
the word In regard to man. Among
the carnivorous beasts the cat amuscs

weasel tribe kill for sheer love of kill.
ing. No such cruelty is seen among
eagles or falcons. Fierce as their tenn
pers are, they do not torment other
birds which they catch or kill for kill
ing's sake. Good temper Is general
among birds.
Except the cuckoo, such n thing as
an i'll tempered wild bird Is unknowl.
Nowhere in the race can temper like
that of the Tasmanian devil or the
wild hunting dog or the Cape buffalo
or the baboon be found. Even those
which In spring are thieves and egg
robbers are not mauvals coucheurs at
other times. Good temper and good
fellowship in society, a personal affec-
tion to each other to which the beasts
offer no parallel, Industry and inde-
pendence, intense devotion and fore
sight In tending their young, with 9th
er very human and engaging traits OF
character, must all be credited to the
race of birds.
Among these kindly and simple ma
lures the cuckoo Is a monster. Let
there be no mistake on this subject
He unites In his life and character
from the egg to the adult bird, prac
tices and principles to which the whole
race of warm blooded animals offers nc
parallel. He IL an outrage on the NOR
al law of bird life, something so fla
grant and so utterly foreign to the way
of thought of these kindly beings that
if he did not exist he would be incon,
ceivable. 1t Is not merely that he Is Il
supplanter and chnngeling. His
whole nature Is 80 evil that in the
world of birds he Is an incarnation OF
the principle of Ill, an embodiment OF
vices which would If understood ol
adopted by other birds put an end tC

WHITAKER WORKING HARD.
Johnny Whitaker is working faith
fully for his contest with Art Simms
at the North End Athletic club. He
feels confident that he will succeed in
breaking Simms' record and that he
will dispose of the undefeated light
to the limit. He had little to say reIa-

aside from the remark that he would
win. He will be backed by a large
number of local sports.

New Composition" stories are fur
nlshed by two young Indians whose ef-
forts In this difficult line are reported
by The Southern Workman.
The subject assigned to the first boy
was the life of General Armstrong. Re-
ferring to the generals boyhood among
the idolatrous, ancestor worshiping
natives of the Hawaiian Islands, he
wrote as follows:
"The people of the Sandwich Islands
worshiped the idols of their aunts' SIS
ters."
The second boy, member of the
same class, writing upon different
phase of the same subject, got the city
of Washington confused with the man
for whom the city was named. Refer
ring to the retirement of General Arm
strong from the service after the war,
he said:
"When General Armstrong finished
the war, he wrote to Washington and
asked him II there was anything more
he could do for him"

THREE O'CLOCK IN THE NORM

There Is time of morning
When the jubilant, newborn day
And the opal tints of approaching dawn
As yet seem far away.
In the eastern sky is movement,
No glow. but impending change.
The house is filled with echoes;
Familiar rooms look strange.
Slip back the bolts and leave them,
Steal out beneath the sky;
Stand alone in an unknown world
OF awful purity.
Stand alone with folded hands,
Wait for the gift OF wings,
Wait to be lifted higher,
Nearer the heart Of thingsi
The heavens are clear and moonlit
Though the moon is on the wane;
TDe wind that walled throughout the night
Drops with sigh OF pain.
A vague alarm is creeping
Over the fields and lawn;
Time pRuses night is over,
And yet II is not dawn.
Away down In the pastures
The cattle turn and moan;
All living things are troubled
With a sense OF the unknown.
For they with eyes may see now,
And they who question know.
Make the most OF the magic hour;
The east begins to glowl
The east Is all in tumult,
The charmed hour is past,
For, breaking up the quiet skies,
The day appears at last.

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
The Higher the Purpose the Rnrer
the Achievement.

The Higher the Purpose the Rnrer
the Achievement.
If by success we mean the full ac-
complishment of an end, the actual
reapipg Of harvest Of results, then it
and nobler the purpose the rarer will
be the success. If we aim to relieve a
mans hunger, we can quickly succeed
in the easy task, but IL we aim to in
spire him with desire to earn his own
bread the work is more difficult and
the success far more problematical.
If we would restrain thief from rob-
berry, the prison bars and locks insure
success, but If we would make an hon
est man of him our task is complex
one, and success may be afar off. We
undertake to teach child to read. If
with requisite effort we follow up our
task, we are successful, but If we as
pire to raise the educational standard
of our community how arduous the
task, how uncertain the result, how
questionable the success.
The low man sees little thing to do.
Sees It. and does it;
The high man. with great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows 1t.
Is his life, then, failure? No; let
lis never imagine that any high pur-
pose, any noble thought, any generous
emotion, any earnest effort, Is ever lost.
We may never witness its growth, we
may not live to gather its fruit or even
to see its blossoms but we may safely
trust that somewhere and at some
time the harvest will be abundant, and
success, long hidden, shall become ap-
parent.-Philadelph Ledger.
