Another Lincoln STORY.

The story is told that Lincoln was
one day walking through field when
he suddenly saw that he was pursued
by a mad bull.
The nearest object of escape was an
old strawstack, and Lincoln made for
it with lightning speed. Reaching it
before the bull caught up to him, he
commencing running around it, with
the bull in mad pursuit
After several revolutions Lincoln
discovered that his long legs had COW
cred the ground faster than he had
hoped, and bright idea occurred to
him. A few more strides brought him
within reach of the bulls tail, which
he clutched and the two went flying
around faster than before.
1t soon began TO dawn upon his bull
ship that he was the one pursued, and
he began to below with fear and dis.
appointment, when Lincoln exclaimed,

rold Of Deaf Irlsh Dear.

A dean whose name may not be
given is nearly stone deaf, says Tenn
pie Bar His deafness is said to lead
to malapropos answers. Staying at
friends house, he was asked if he
would like to have a pair of slippers
His face assumed an expression Of
portentous solemnity, and he made
reply: That question must be re-
served for the general synod On
another occasion he was asked what
family he had. "Twenty-six, and an
immediate prospect of a considerable
increase" He thought he had been
asked as to the number of children at
his school, Just one more story of
my deaf dean. He is reported to be
famous for changing horses, and not
to be particularly lucky in horsefiesh.
Some one asked him how Mrs -
was. The reply was peculiar: "She
is vicious in the extreme; sac won't
stand the curb, and is strongly in
clined to run away" Needless to say.
he was not referring to the good gray
mare, who, no doubt. was going very
steadily in double harness.

him along at a terrific pace. His

What Results from Electricity.

Although the predictions freely
made a few years ago that the devel.
opment of electric traction would
quickly drive horses from the field Of
labor have not been fulfilled, yet tho
Electrical Review cites statistics to
prove that the disappearance of the
horse is actually taking place, al
though so slowly as not to attract
much attention. In Paris the number
of horses fell off about per cent be-
tween 1901 and 1902, In London the
decrease in the same time was 10 per
cent. In Berlin, Vienna and st. Pc
tersburg a similar falling OF is shown
by the census of horses. In New York
1t is estimated that the number of
horses has decreased SO per cent in
the last twenty years.

EXAMPLE OF GERMAN THRIFT.
Stones on the Roadway Made o! Value
to Property.

Stones on the Roadway Made % Value
to Property.
Germans find that it pays to encour
age peasants to free their fields OF
stones; the property rises in value
taxing value. The stones thrown
into heaps by the roadside are pur.
chased by the district road repairing
commission. Poor men, who other
wise would have to be supported by
the almshouses, are hired to break
the stones, and then are trained to the
work of repairing the roadbed. The
money to pay the men is made by auc-
tioning off to the highest bidder the
crop from fruit trees that were plant
ed on both sides of the highway when
it was built. and which are nourished
well by the manure that falls along
the road and is pushed at intervals
by a road tender upon their roots.
The purchaser of the crop sees to 1t
that his fruit is not stolen. The road
commissioners have no bother ABOUT
that. And, although the sale be by
auction, it brings considerable. Every
burgher knows how much because the
sales of highway fruit crops are pub
lished in the local newspapers.
