Some boys from this neighborhood did
very unjust act last Sunday, in tearing
down straw stack belonging to MIR. AL
bert Youtsler. Some of them were iden-
tilted by some pocket property which
they lost in turning somersanlts on the
straw. Johnnie Bruner and Davie
Thompson were in the gang. We did
not think any boy of this place capable
OF such an act.
While hauling a load OF corn last
week, NJ j. Bennett was quite unfortu-

The wagon was slightly damaged but
the team was not hurt

His First Earnfncs.

A few years ago large party, head
ed by the Duke of Norfolk, went on
tour through the continent. The duke
busted himself very much on the jour-
ney in kind hearted way about the
welfare of every one in the party. At
every station he used to get out and go
round to see if he could do anything
for any one. One old woman, who did
not know him, when she arrived at last
in Rome, tired and hot. found great
difficulty in getting porter. Sc she
seized on the duke
"Now, my good man." she said, "I've
noticed you at all these stations loaf1ng
about. Just make yourself useful for
once in your life. Take my bag and
lind me a cab.''
The duke mildly did as he was bid
and was rewarded with a sixpence.

have ever earned in nv life."

the veldt he was Intellectually potted
at 100 yards off by three gentlemen in
khaki, who mistook him for a Boer
farmer. AS he tersely puts it, II never
felt anywhere so safe as when under
my countrymen's fire." An analysis Of
the "withering rifle fire Of the British
advance shows that in very few in
stances was Boer hit more than once,
while many of our men had several
Mauser bullets through them, in some
instances as many as II and 13. Eng

pr. CIarlke's wise Dor.
The late DR.. James Freeman Clarke
used to tell this amusing story Of his
dog:
AT one time my dog was fond Of
going to the r9ilway station to see the
people, and I always ordered him to go
home, fearing he would be hurt by the
cars. He easily understood that If he
went there it was contrary to my
Wishes So whenever he was near the
station, if he saw me coming, he would
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. If he met me anywhere
else, he always bounded to meet me
with great delight. But at the station
it. was quite different. He would pay
no attention to my whistle or my call.
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right in the face
without apparently recognizing me. He
gave me the cut direct in the most Inn
pertinent manner, the reason evidently
being that he knew he was doing what
was wrong and did not like to be found
out. Possibly he may have relied a
little on my nearsightedness in his
neuver."-Outlook.
