THAT CLEVER YANKEE GoAT.-A par
their experiences Of wonderful ami
mails. When it came to the Yankees
turn to speak he drawled: II never
had any remarkable animal, but once
had goat that gave me lot Of trou-
BILE. I got SO mad with. the trouble
that it gave that threw things at it
that would have killed any ordinary
goat. And, now and again, in the hope
Of Kidding myself Of it, I had shot
at it with my rifle. 1t did not seem to
mind.
Zone day, when its behavior got
past endurance, got friend of mine
to help me to take it to precipice a
couple Of miles off, and there in the
early morning we threw it over the
cliff on to the rocks 300 feet below.
Well, we were sitting at breakfast an
hour later when we heard a noise in
the yard, and, looking out, saw that
goat gamboling about, pulling the
washing off the clothesline and chew
ing UP red flannel shirt. That was
too much. We dragged it to the rail-
road track nearby. and fastened it
firmly to the rail, then waited till the
express came up. AS the train came
tearing along, what do you think that
goat did? Just coughed up that red
flannel shirt and waved it for a dan
ger signal?"-London Tit-Bits.

How tho Preacher Proposed.

To" TITO FTVdStot VtSPScSs
On the subject Of neat and clever
proposals Of marriage Prof. Moore of
the weather bureau is credited with
the following story:
A bachelor preacher had occasion
to drink tea with maiden lady Of his
congregation. She regaled him with
the bitterness of her life and sur
roundings and expressed longing to
be of some service to her neighbors.
The preacher listened attentively.
At every pause in his parishioners be-
wailment he asked for another lump
of sugar. After at least half dozen
squares Of sugar had been added to the
tea, the maiden lady said inquiringly.
"Why, doctor, you'll have more sugar
than tea If you keep on"
But it's not sweet" protested the
doctor.
"Then stir It," suggested the lady.
That's what I've been waiting for"
began the doctor. you are the sweet
est thing lying idle in this community.
For want Of stirring your sweetness
cannot communicate itself to Others"
yet, DOCTOR" said the maiden, de-
murely, 1T required spoon to stir
your tea, the sugar would not act Of
ITSELF"
And would you be willing falter-
ed the reverend, approaching the seat
Of the other, ito take such an old
spoon as me to stir"

WE ARE AMERICANS.
How Hon. John Hay Decided Questions
When He Was Ambassador.

Some evidence Of the right Of citi-
Zens Of the United States to call them
selves Americans and their country
America, is found in an action taken
by such a competent authority as Hon.
John Hay, now secretary Of state, when
he was the ambassador Of this gov
ernment to the court Of st. James.
Soon after taking up his residence in
the embassy in London, Mr.. Hay caus-
ed to be removed the official shield on
the entrance, which bore the legend
Embassy of the United States" and
the substitution Of a new shield bear
ing the inscription american Embas-
sy." He also used visiting cards, read
ing '"The American Ambassador" It
is interesting to note that Mr.. Choate,
his successor in London, has retained
the word American" on the official
shield of the embassy.
Mr.. Hays course in this regard was
not the result Of mere personal prefer
ence, but was based on the conviction
that the title adopted for the embassy
was the correct one. His decision to
use the term American" in lieu Of
United States" was criticised unoffi-
cially by Canadians and some others in
London, but Mr.. Hay found warrant
for the change in the practice of all the
Republican countries composed Of a
union Of states, as we'll as in the con-
stitution of his own country. For ex-
ample, there are the constitutional
designations of the United States Of
Brazil" United States Of Colombia"
and United States of Mexico" In no
case are the citizens Of these countries
called, nor do they call themselves,
Americans" but they are Brazilians,
Colombians and Mexicans. The con-
stitution Of this nation designates 1t
as the United States Of America"
and following the rule Of the lesser
United States" that the concluding
term designates the people, those who
are citizens of the United States OF
America are Washington

NEVER MISSED A TRAIN.
How a Faithful Dog Was Always at
His Post of Duty.

How q faltnrul log "dS H'"oJ" os
His Post Of Duty.
The railroad ran along one side OF
beautiful valley In the Central part OF
the great state Of New York. I stood
at the rear end Of the train, looking
out of the door, when the engineer
gave two short, sharp blasts OF the
steam whistle. The conductor, who
had been reading newspaper In
seat near me, arose, and, touching my
shoulder, asked If I wanted to see
real country newsboy." !, Of course,
answered, "yes." So we stepped out
on the platform Of the car
The conductor had folded up his pa
per in a tight roll, which he held In his
right hand, while he stood on lower
step of the car, holding on by his left
I saw him begin to wave the paper just
as he swung around a curve in the
track, and a neat farm house came into
view, way off across some open fields.
Suddenly the conductor flung the
paper off toward the fence by the side
of the railroad, and I saw black,
shaggy form leap over the fence from
the meadow beyond it, and alight just
where the newspaper, after bouncing
along in the grass, had fallen beside a
tall mullen stalk in an angle Of the
fence.
It was a big, black dog. He stood
beside the paper, wagging his tail, and
watching us as the train moved
swiftly away from him, when he
snatched the paper from the ground
in his teeth, and leaping over the fence
again away he went across the fields
towards the farm house.
When we last saw him he was
mere black speck moving over the
meadows and then the train ran
through a deep cleft in the hillside,
and the whole scene passed from our
view. uo.

But does not Carlo go to the wrong

siderable curiosity.
Never, sir. He pays no attention
to any train but this"
How can a dos tell what time 1t IS
so as to go to meet the train?' asked
again. u,
"That is more than I can tell, an
