OnticnI Exaggeration.

Owen Wister, writing of his expert
ence with The White Goat and His
Country" mentions a circumstance
which will perhaps recall to naturalists
and hunters some miscalculatiOns of
their own. He had travelled across the
continent in the hope Of killing white
goats. and of course he had white
goats in his eye.
BY 10 o'clock the next morning L.
and l saw 1900 goats on the noun
tain opposite where we had climbed
Just here l will risk a generalization.
When a trapper tells you he has seen
so many hundred head of game, he
has not counted them, but he believes
what he says.
The goats that T. and 1 now looked
at were a mile away in an air line,
and they seemed numberless. The pic
ture which the white, slightly moving
dots made, like mites on a cheese, in
clined one to a large estimate of them,
since they covered the whole side of
hill.
The more we looked the more we
found. Besides the main army there
were groups, caucuses, families sitting
apart over some discourse too intimate
for the general public, and beyond
these we could discern single animals
moving, gazing, browsing, lying down
"There's 100000 goats!' said T.
Lets count 'em," l suggested, and

PLEASES WOMEN
Famous New York Resort Gives Tenn
porary Freedom to the
Fair Sex.

"The lady at Saratoga gets more out
Of her visit than does the gentleman
who takes her there" says Charles E.
Trevathan, In Everybody's Magazine.
''She may do with impunity In Sarato-
ga those things which she may not ap-
proach even in thought elsewhere, and
It Is perhaps because of this temporary
freedom that she loves her Saratoga as
she loves no other resort. 1t is the one
environment through which she may
move along II she like, the one acre OF
pleasure-making where the escort is not
necessary to her pursuit of laughter
She may go through the drives alone
In the forenoon, and she may stroll
about the race course in the afternoon
alone; she may dine alone and wine
alone; she may sit out the concerts in
the evening or watch the moonlight on
the verandas alone, and there will scarce
be comment upon her actions She may.
without fear, go alone anywhere and
everywhere in the town that man can
go. And this is privilege of which she
does not avail herself She merely gets
a keen sort Of relish in the idea that she
could an she would There is more fun
to be had with somebody along and
the lady OF Saratoga is rarely person
alone.'"

BUDGET OF MAxIMs.

Rather than say nothing, men are con-
tent to speak ill of themselves.
A proud man can never be loser; no,
not even when he renounces his pride.
tits much less for mans honor to dis
trust his friends than to be deceived by
them.
Few people have the wisdom to like
reproofs that would do them good better
than praises that do them hurt.
It is with true love, as with ghosts and
apparitions, thing that everybody
talks of and scarce anybody hath seen.
The most disinterested love is, after
all, but kind of bargain In which the
dear love Of our own selves always pro-
poses to be the gamer some way OF 9TH
