Made Good Guide at Might.

Jason Hoover, farmer of Western
Wisconsin, ventured out one very
dark night to visit sick neighbor.
His wife followed. The man kept up
an incessant conversation. not for an.
tertainment, but that his helpmeet
might be guided by mis- sonorous voice
along the treacherous and uncertain
path.
Suddenly Farmer Hoover shouted a
warning, stumbled and fell heavily.
After some grnmbling and much as
sistance from his sympathetic wife, he
continued the journey, limping pain
fully, and rubbing his bruised thigh.

Shot Fox with Golf Ball.

Foxes have been trapped, shot and
poisoned from pioneer days. but II has
remained for Mortimer Pagan of Troy,
N. Y. to kill one with a golf ball. and
Mr. Pagan is extremely proud OF the
exploit.
Early in the week Mr.. Pagan went
out on the links to practice and had
made the third tee when a strong
head wind came up and he was forced
to drive with all his strength to send
the gutta percha ball any distance.
Just beyond the tee was natural
hazard consisting of a stone pile and
brook, and to clear the latter he
struck with all his might.
The ball went bit low. struck the
stone pile, caromed and, bounding over
the water. struck in the bushes close
to the bank. The instant the ball
landed Mr.. Pagan heard a weird, pc
culiar cry. and ran forward. The next
instant he came upon a red fox writh-
ing at the edge of the brook. The
hard ball had caught him between the
eyes as he was drinking and he died
before the man reached him.

Not a Fair Show

night, and that evening two or three
other farmers dropped in, and there
was a good deal of talk about how
much grass man could cut in day

says writer In the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Mine host didn't enter into
the conversation much, and when the
men had finally departed said to
him:
do you believe that statement
about a man moving FIVE acres a
day?'
Il didn't have a fair show" he re-
piled, as he shook his head and
heaved a sigh.
How do you mean?"

CATS CONSULT THE CALENDAR.

Down along the wharves in New

are waiting peaceably for me to come

But that is a small part of the

hanging up in every office to tell the
