Memphis Scimitar: A little girl from
Memphis who has spent her life in the
city went out to visit her grandparents,
living in the country, during the holi-
days, and, as usually happens in such
cases, the little city lady displayed her
ignorance.
The little girl, soon after her arrival
in the country, manifested great appre-
hension of being hooked by the cows
about the place. One day her mother
told her to go to a neighbours home and
carry a message. The little girl
started, but at the gate she encoun
tered a COW, one of the muley species.
In great excitement she ran back to
her mother, crying: "Oh, mamma!
there's a cow down there!'
The mother looked out of the window
and saw the meek-looking bovine.

The wearer OF the silk hat and the white

Youths Companion: Since the death of
Lord Russell many pleasing anecdotes
nave been told Of him, and among them
one which Is marked by an intimate
touch of family affection, appealingly hu-
man.
His youngest son was about to sail for
South Africa as lieutenant In an artillery
regiment. AS the transport parted from
her moorings, the lord chief justice,
standing on the pier, eagerly scanning the
faces which lined the vessels bulwarks,
was unable to discover that Of his son.
Disappointed, and yearning for a part
ing look, he raised his fingers to his lips,
in the manner SO familiar to boys, and
emitted a shrill whistle. The evidently
familiar call brought young Russell to
the side Of the vessel, and father and son,
gazing wistfully into each others faces,
waved what proved to be a last farewell.
The act was characteristic of the man,
and q hearty cheer from those who heard
and saw testified to the fullness Of human
sympathy when a touch Of pature

Every day brings fresh evidence of
dissatisfaction growing out 9f the dis
agreements between farmers and buyers
One of the results is a suit in which the
buyer Mr. Tallord, a foreign trades
man, is sued for the full contract price
of Richard Ellacott's crop. Tallord pro
posed cut in price of 25 per cent,
which Mr.. Ellacott refused. Heimmedi-

ALITTLE SERMON,
ADVANTAGE OF BAD MEMORY

A bad memory is sometimes a great
convenience. If we would cultivate one
in some respects we should be saved lots
of worry. We should remember to pav
our debts, to be true to our promises, to
attend to our duties We should forget
little sights. Perhaps they were not
intended, and if they WERE forgetting
them is the best revenge we can take ON
one holding such animosity. Remem-
bering such things adds to their impor-
tance. 1t widens the breach in good
understanding with our neighbor, in
stead of bridging it over Forget it.
Have pleasantness and peace instead of
the opposite. Persistent good nature
will have its influence We should for
get the fault and short comings of others
far as we may. Bear in mind their
good deeds, the good work accomplished,
the worthy traits of character. Do not
forget TO give credit where merited, but
forget the failings. five overlook what
we may, and let others feel they have
our good will and opinion. it will lead
them TO be more worthy of it. Storing
up in our minds memory of injuries
makes us less trustful, less generous
less happy, and sours our dispositions
Cultivate q reasonable forgetfulness and
we shall be happier and in time have
less to forget. Milwaukee Journal
