Not q Love Knot.

A handsomely dressed lady riding
recently in q crowded Amsterdam
avenue car was fortunate enough to
have seat, but when nearing her des-
tination she noticed that the laoing Of
her shoe was unfastened. It was the
work Of moment. but very trying
moment, to stoop down and knot it
securely. When this was accomplish
ed, her hat-veil readjusted and her
gloves once more carefully put on, it
was time to signal the conductor.
This she did, and after two vain at
tempts to rise looked around iudig-
nantly to find the cause of her retard-
ed movement. She came face to face
with very irate gentleman who had
been sitting next to her.
Madam, madar", where are you try
ing to take me?" 4e demanded.
"1-youl' she stammered.
eyes. Look there!' He pointed
to the floor, and in instant she had
grasped the situation. By mistake
in cropping, she had found the lacing
Of his shoe, which she had taken for
the other end Of her own, and had
fastened them so carefully together
that it took the gentleman quite we
minutes to effect release, under the
amused glances of the other occupants
of the car, which had travelled twice
that number of blocks before the lady
was ready to give another signal

The Farm, Mule.

A good deal can be said in favor of

mule; he seems practically immune
from the diseases that attack horses.
A mule can endure more hardship
than horse, will pull more in pro-
portion TO size, ana will "stay with

or trained to work than horse, and
is more reliable after initiated. If

for themselves.
Tnuse who use them would rather
plow corn with team of mules than
with horses-they break down less
and turn ground quicker. Hot weath-

Tried tc Starye Snake.

The man who tries TO starye a
snake to death is in bad way" said
the man wh" has had some experience
iu dealing with reptiles, "and I hap
pen TO know what | am talking about
because Of little thing that happen
ed to me number Of years ago. There
is really no telling how long q snake

that horse can live twenty-five days
without solid food. A horse will live
CO water for that length OF time.
Bears csn live for six months without
food. They generally live through
the winter months by sucking their
paw. OF course: they have food on
hand, and they slip out TO get
what they can, but the main susten-

flesh Of the summer. But I am in
clined to believe that the snake can
hold the record when it comes to doing
without food. I had an experience q
few years ago which convinced me of
this fact. [ caught rattlesnake in

The Boer Army.

The Beers didn't have such a very
small force in the field after all. About
20, 600 have already come in and sur
rendered since the terms of peace We're
signed and there are more to come.
Ada to this total the $4,000 who We're
captured and the unknown thousands
who were killed or disabled in battle
or died Of disease and the Boer army
was much larger than has been gener-
ally supposed. 1t included everybody
in the country who could fight, old men
and young boys, and was also largely
reinforced by aliens whose sympathy
drew them from all parts of the world
TO fight for the hopeless Boer cause.
Their desperate valor has given them
an imperishable place in history and
quprors are loudest in praise of them
as fighters and as foes. General De
Vets advice to his men to 80 home
and become loyal British subjects. is
eminently sensible. They have made
their fight, have won the admiration OF
the world by their bravery and endur-
ance. ana have been beaten under cir
cumstances that reflect nothing but
honor upon them, and, as they can do
nothing more in the way of effective
fighting, their only right plan now is
to resume peaceful relations, ana try
to live as tremendously with their
conquerors as possible. BY so doing
they will get along very much better
than they would by persisting in re
garding themselves as a beaten but
unconuuered people.
