DOG MAIL CARRIER.
Nep Waits for the Train and Takes
Charge of Mailing.

Nep Waits for the Train and Takes
Charge of Mailing.
Out In Kansas, where so many things
are different, there is big st. Bernard
mail carrier. He lives in one of the
little ''cross roads" towns, where the
only store, which is also the postoffice
is thirty rods from the railroad track
The train always goes whizzing by at
good rate of speed, whistling as it
approaches. Nep hears the whistle and
hurries to the crossing and waits for
the coming of the mail. The mail
clerk kicks the leather bag out of the
door and 1t falls somewhere in the vi
cinity of the road. Nep at once goes
to the sack, and carefully taking it by
the middle, so that neither end will
drag on the ground, walks sedately to
the store, where he deposits his bur.
den in safe place.
He does this every day, In spite of
the weather. and the whole country
nows and Is proud Of the dog mail
rier.
ep Is years old, is . feet inches
height and weighs 250 pounds He
has no difficulty in carrying the sack
though the mail is often very heav,
with the weekly papers from the coun
ty seat, for his teeth are strong and he
has carried over 100 pounds as a test
Of his strength.

bearing upon board school humor' say
a London correspondent in the Ne"
York Tribune. He began by telling
story against himself. He was recently
at prize distribution at Remington
Road board school, and told the boys
that he would not see them again fol
twelve months. He ventured to express
a hope that in the meantime they
would behave themselves and not gel
into mischief. One boy, evidently re-
garding him as wishing the company
the compliments of the season, replied'
"rhe same to you, sir"
For precocity, however, the boy who
was being examined in mental arithme'
tic in an East Lambeth school surpass'
ed the Remington scholar.
"Supposing," asked the examiner
"there were six glasses of beer on this
table and your father drank one, how
many would remaln?"
To this the boy replied:
"None, sir"
The inspector chlded the pupil with
the remark:
"You don't know the simplest mental
arithmetic but the retort came
promptly:
mo, and you don't know my father

fine surface showings and carried ex.
ceptionally high values WAS the OK
ford. As high as 255 ounces OF silver
and $l6 in gold per ton were obtained
from the ore near the surface. The
owners decided to run tunnel and
now have it In SO feet. A few DAYS
since stringer IL inches in width was
cut in the tunnel, which is believed to
be an off.shoot from the lodges. The
ore carries about 200 ounces Of silver
per ton and from $40 to $l2 in gold.
