80 the seeds ana Juice and pulp run
down pas shirt and neck, and he
looked as though murder had been
committed, but pa wiped his face on
his shirt sleeve and showed game, be-
cause he kept mauling Bolivar with
the hook. Bolivar broke up millinery
store by throwing tomatoes at the
women in the windows, and he went
into a yard where woman was
washing and squirted the bluing wa
ter all over the woman, and all over
pa, and then he chewed the clothes on
the line, and drove the family over the
fence.
You'd a died to see those milliners
climb over a high board fence head
first, and Bolivar actually seemed to
laugh. Bolivar run one of his tusks
through a barrel of gasoline, and it
run out ON the street car track, and an
electric spark set it on fire, and the
fire department turned out, but the
engines had to all go around Bolivar,
cause he wouldn't bulge an inch, but
seemed to say: LET 'er rip, boys;
this is the Fourth of July"
The circus men began to come with
ropes and club, to tie Bolivar and
throw him, but he escaped into a side
street and watched the engines put out
the fire, and he swung around with his
trunk and his tusks and wouldn't let
anyone come near him but pa with the
hook, and he seemed to enjoy the prod
ding, but l guess that gave him cour-
age to keep on doing things.

The portly woman in the cross seat of
z subway car was confding in her thin
friend in voice which was heard above
the rattle of the train, relates the New
York Press.
II had just picked out the table I want
ed-a trim little thing to fit in corner of
my parlor-when who should come in but
that Eorrid Mrs. Shoddy. I wouldn't have
her know, for the world, that was pay

to one marked SIS before she saw me.
Buying table?' she asked, with that
deceltful smile of hers.
EYES, I said, coolly. I have almost
decided upon this one,' I said, pointing
out the expensive affair.
"You should have seen her face.
Isn't it rather expensive?' she said.
"'Oh, no. I said. You can't expect
TO get good things for nothing. Send
that table to my address, I said to the
salesman. TN pay for it on delivery
Then I walked out. waited outside I'M
til Mrs. Shoddy went away, then ran
back to the store, countermanded the or

to say to the other animals: Come

thing DOING and the animals all set
up a howl in their own language, as
though they were saying: "Whooper
up, old man, and don't let them
monkey with YOU"
Bolivar went out in the street and
moved wide swath, with pa after
him, hooking him all the time, but he
paid no attention to pa. He put his
head under the side Of street car
loaded with negroes that had come to
see the show, dressed in their Sunday
clothes, and tipped the car over on the
side, and the negroes crawled through
the windows and went uptown yelling
murder, while Bolivar went in front of
a grocery store where there was pile
of watermelons, and began to throw
them at the people in the street, and
the negroes thought an elephant was
not so bad, so they came back and had
feast.
Pa tried to head off Bolivar at the
grocery, but Bolivar took half a
watermelon and put the red side on
top of pas head. and souashed it down

WAS A GOOD WATCHDOG.
He Barked a Whole Lot and Kept
the Sheep Within tho
Fold.

During the late Rev. Elijah Kellogg's
pastorate, in Maine he was persistently
opposed by the citizens, of no religious
convictions, who took malicious satisfac-
ton IL discovering and publishing in
consistencies in the lives of the mem
bers Of Mr.. Kellogg's church. For rea-
sons of his own, which the Boston Her.
a!d does not give in printing the story,
the citizen decided to remove to another
part OF the state.
Meeting DR.. Kellogg one day, shortly
before his departure, lie said:
well, I suppose you have heard that
l am going to leave town, and I dare
"Glad of it? Why, no." replied Mr..
Kellogg. II shall be very sorry to lose
you. You are so useful to me in my
work I hardly know how I can spare
you"
"spare me?" repeated the citizen,
greatly puzzled. 'tHow is that?"
why" said the old minister, whit a
gentle smile, .every time sheep gets
its foot out of my fold you bark from
one end of the town TO the other You
ire the best watchdog I ever knew"
