It Is just easy to deceive an animal
as II is to take in human beings. fhou-
sands of birds weave a field or garden
alone merely because a scarecrow has
been stuck up in the middle of it.
Fishes are constantly swallowing
hooks that are hidden in make believe
flies. A dog that worried a p~aste5oard
cot looked a truly pitiable object when
he found out his error.
Show a toy snake to a monkey and it
will probably scream from terror.
There was no word strong enough to
express the feelings Of a dog that fon-
died an india rubber pup and then dis
covered its error. When the grampus
charges a herring boat painted white,
its folloy can only be accounted for on
the supposition that it believes it to be
a white whale.
On the other hand deer that come to
the river to drink often do not live to
be sorry that they mistook the croco-
die floating on the surface for a log of
wood.

Seriously Iujured.

A serious accident occurred on a
Bellaire street car last evening about
six o'clock. Prof. Eaton, a teacher of
the Martins Ferry pubic schools, was
on a ear coming to Bridgeport, which
was crowded, and he vas compelled to
stand on the foot board of the car, and
while passing some poles that are ex-
tremely close to the track, he acct
dentally leaned too far out. and col
lided with one of the poles, and was
knocked from the car. He was picked
up and brought to Bridgeport and then
to Martins Ferry. At that time 1t was
not thought his injuries were serious.
He was taken to the home of George
He'll, on Broadway, where he became
unconscious. A physician was called,
and after examination, found he was
suffering from conclusion of the brain,
and was in a very serious condition. At
a late hour last night he was still I'M
conscious and showed no signs of i'm
provement. Mr.. Eaton was on his way
to Martins Ferry to secure a house, as
he expected to move from CircleviHe
to Martins Ferry.
