THE TRUE VAMPIRE.
An Experience With the Blood SUCK

rather large bat enter an clubhouse from
which there was no other egress than
by the doorway, | was fortunate In be-

proceed 10 the capture of the animal.
Upon finding itself pursued 1t took
three or four turns around the apart

moment supposed to be its young ami

After a somewhat tedious chase | then
secured the object of my pursuit, which
proved 10 be fine female megaderma.
| then looked TO the other bat which
had picked up and to my considerable
surprise found il to be a small kind of
pipistreIle, which is exceedingly abun-
dant throughout India.
The individual now referred to was
feeble from loss of blood, which it was
evident the megaderma had been suck
Ing from large and still bleeding
wound under and behind the ear. and
the very obviously suctorial form of
the mouth of the megaderma was itself
sufficient TO hint the strong probability
of such being the case, During the
very short time that elapsed before
entered the clubhouse it did not appear
that the depredator had once alighted,

vital fluid from its victim as 1t few.

no more blood was left commenced de-
vouring II and soon left nothing but the

Man IL the best friend OF the dog.
Horses come next, but between the dog
and all other farm animals. from the
house cat to the cow and the beef steer.
there seems TO be a natural enmity.
Dogs, however are fond of sheep and
goats, but as diet, not as living friends.
Cows and sheep and goats should be
kept as free from association with dogs
as is possible. with the exception of the
trained shepherd dog. A dog walking
through cowpen will often cause a
decrease in milk flow that amounts to
more than the cash value of the dog.
Many dogs are worth considerably less
than nothing.

An attache OF a religious bookstore
has spent SO many years of his life
among theological volumes that he is
Scriptural or nothing, but he sometimes
evolves a misfit. When his attention
was called the other day to a rose neat
ly attached to the lapel of his coat and
an insinuation thrown out that a lady
friend might have had something to do
with 1t. he paralyzed the inslnuator by
saying. "No. sir; l gathered that rose
from my own vine and fig tree"

Gen. Henry Returns.

Adjt.-Gen. William Henry has re-
turned from Columbus, O., where
he attended the meeting of the Ma
tional Guard Association Of the
United States, of which he is one Of
the vice-presidents.
"Thirty-six States we're represent
ed at the conference" said Gen.
Henry, 'and several matters of great
interest to the National Guard Of
the country were discussed, the most
important being the new Dick mil
itary bill.
"After a lengthy discussion it was
agreed to accept the Dick bill, with
several recommendations to con-
gross for needed changes in its pro-
visions, and | believe that the pro-
posed amendments will be adopted
at the next session of congress-"
The Mississippi National Guard
has not yet officially decided to come
under the provisions of the Dick
bill, but will probably do so at a
conference to be held within a few
weeks. 1t is admitted by the COM
handing officers that the guard in
its present shape cannot qualify for
the conditions demanded, but will
probably come as near doing so as
any other State militia organization
in the country.
