where the Money Came From That
Settled the Bill.


Settled the Bill.
"For diplomatic kindness / will never
| sorget one man." remarked a well
known sportsman of Pittsburg HE
certainly knew how to do the right
thing, and although it didn't cost him
anything it helped crowd Of us out
of an embarrassing predicament for
the time. A party of young fellows,
myself in the number, were camping
years ago on the Beaver river, not far
from Rock point. None of us had much
money after getting our outfit and the
farmers got about all that was left
in exchange for milk and butter. One
day three of us decided to go up to the
picnic grounds, and, just as luck would
have it, we met crowd of girls from
our own town. 1t was happy meet
ing all around until some fool girl
suggested that we all get our pictures
taken. To save our lives, the three of
us boys couldn't have raised a total of
16 cents, but like true soldiers of for
tune we decided to go ahead and trust
to luck to meet the obligation.
'The artist eyed us rather queerly
and our hearts began to fall. After

him. l was authorized to stake every
thing we had, even down to our good
names. | stated the case briefly but
eloquently, and l must have made
good impression. for, when | had fin

The strangest part of it all to me was
when he handed me a dollar bill.
81 know how it is myself he said.
You want to put up a bluff before
these girls. Just hand me the dollar
for the pictures when I'm through
"That was what pleased me, and
flashed that bill before the girls with
the air Of magnate. It was just a
month later that I learned from
brother of one of the girls that they
had noticed our worried looks and had
forestalled us by paying the pho
tographer the dollar I fourished SO
proudly" -Pittsburg News.

Home Concerts

Do you know any better way in which
to interest your children than to let
concerts? The Edgerton Musical and
Literary club had a fine evening last
Friday at the home of Mrs. D. Wilson.
They put up fine program of eight
numbers. Master Drexel Shelley played
one of them, 1.-The Serenade'' by Greig,
and he did it really good, better than ex-
pected. We feel very sure that Profess
sor Pieper will make dandies of all his
pupils, and we wish Mr.. Pieper success.

A nYbrid Dog and Fox.

In the new museum at Worcester in
England there is a curious mounted
monster" TO which the following his
tory is appended: 4Lc animal entered
a cottage in a village in Worcester
shire and quietly laid down under a
table. A cat which few at the in
truder was torn to pieces and devoured
piecemeal. The animal was finally
driven out of the house, but continued
to hang around about the outside until
it was killed by some laborers. 1t
was thought to be a curiosity escaped
from some menagerie. Professor r.
d. Pocock, of the South Kensington
Museum, in London, has examined
the animal, and believes it to be
cross between a fox and a dog. 1t is
rather larger than a fox, and has a
bushy tail and erect ears. The legs
and the head are Of a rich fawn color;
the back is black, mottled with dark
gray, the tail being much the same
shade as the back, and without a white
tip. 1t also resembles a small cock
cared collie, and might be mistaken
for such among a crowd Of mongrels.
"a suspiciously foxy look about the
beast, however," says Professor Po-
cock, "inclines me to the belief that it
is the progeny of a fox and probably
some country sheepdog."

while / was over in the Arkansas
mountains last winter on a hunting trip
my guide and l came across a sugar
maple orchard where two men we're col
lecting and boiling down the sap, said
a Memphis man
I'VE sat around with the natives awhile
and ate maple sugar. When we started
to leave one of the men, who had been
regarding my tie very closely, asked
the guide, in a low voice why l wore
that rag around my neck.
That's to keep his nose from bleed
ing, replied the guide, who was a man
OF some humor
"As we walked away I heard the
natives telling each other how sorry
they felt for me on account Of my
affliction"

Gambled Away His Front Stairs.

One Of the most extraordinary me-
mentoes of gambling mania is to be
seen to this day at Houghton Hall,
the residence Of the Marquis of Chol.
mondeley. This is blank space
where the central flight of steps lead
ing to the entrance hall should be.
The hall at one time belonged to Rob.
ert Walpole, Earl of Oxford. Lord Or.
ford was a tremendous gambler One
of his feats was to gamble away that
particular fight Of steps. The winner
carted them off, and they have never
been replaced The effect of the blank
space Is most slngular.-London To-

WOMEN MUST SLEEP,
Avoid Nervous PrOstration.

If you are dangerously sick what Is
the first duty of your physician? he
quiets the nervous system he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, "what is the cause Y'
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration. 1t came
upon you 80 quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
lgony praying for sleep.
