Napoleon ~ and a Cow.

The reign Of Napoleon III. was
almost brought to a premature ter
mination some four or five years
prior to the Franco-Prussian war
by an indignant COW, and the mon
arch owed his preservation on that
occasion to the courage and presence
of mind Of his Spanish consort the
incident took place In the neighbor-
hood of Blarritz, where the en-
peror and empress were walking one
day with their dog, Nero. an AMI
NAL which figures beside the prince
imperial in Carpeaux's famous stat
lie of the latter. Nero began bark
ing. doglike, at some cattle that were
grazing in a field. A cow took ex-
ception to this, and as Nero sought
refuge between the remarkably short
legs Of the emperor she proceeded
to charge down upon the monarch
with all that vim and vigor for
which the cattle along the Spanish
frontier are famous. On came the
COW, and the emperor was hesitating
whether to run or to stand his
ground when the empress threw her
self before him and kept the ami
NAL at bay with a long bamboo cane,
which she was in the habit Of carry
ing in those days. until the herds
men came to the rescue. The en-

These colored people were neighbors
and ordinarily well behaved. but it
was the old story of one neighbor's
chickens on another neighbor's prem

a garden and a neighbor tries to
raise chickens they usually succeed in
raising cain. If they don't, they are
pretty sure to wear golden slippers
and a starry crown in the next

parties amounted to about $12..

In IT For THE RIDE.-The Rev. DR..
Rainsford, in talking the other day Of
the lack Of interest in church and
charity work shown by those who are
regular attendants at church service,
told a story about an Irishman lately
arrived who tried to cross Broadway
while funeral procession was passing
The procession was a very long one
and he finally asked the Loliceman on
the corner whose funeral IL was.
II don't know" said the man in blue,
but whoever he was he must have
been a great man to have so fite
funeral"
The Irishman next asked the street
cleaner who was working at that
point.
Not a one of me knows" said the
sweeper but it's a fine man he must
have been to have a funeral like that"
Then the Irishman went into store
and asked one of the clerks whose fu-
neral was passing. The clerk didn't
know, but made the usual guess as
to the prominence and virtues Of the
deceased. Finally the procession came
to an end and as 1t did so there was
a halt for a minute. The Irishman
climbed on the step of the last car
riage, stuck his head in through the
window. and inquired of the solitary
occupant who the great man was who
had such a wonderful funeral. He
found a compatriot in the carriage who
replied:
"Sorra one of me knows: I'm just
In 1t for the ride"
THIS BEATS BURBANK.-A farmer
tells us that he has made a discovery
that is of vast Importance to the far
mer during the dry season. He has
found that by planting onions and po-
tatoes In the same field in alternate
rows, the onions became so strong that
they brought tears to the eyes of the
potatoes In such vast volumes that the
roots of the vines are kept moist. and
a big crop raised In spite OF the
drought. The same farmer has a
scheme for raising custard pies by
crossing the egg plant with milk weed.

How THE INDIAN WALKs.-A woods
man walks with a rolling motion, his
hips swaying an inch or more to
the stepping side.and his pace is cor
respondingly long. This hip action
may be noticed TO an exaggerated de-
gree in the stride of a professional
pedestrian. but the latter walks with
heel and toe step, whereas an In
dams or sailors step Is more nearly
fiat-footed In the latter case the
center of gravity is covered by the
whole foot. The poise Is as secure
as that of a rope walker. The toes
are pointed straight forward or even
a trife inward, so that the inside or
the heel, the outside of the ball Of
the foot and the smaller toes, all do
their share of work and assist In
balancing. Walking I'm the woods in
this manner one is not likely. either
to trip over projecting roots, stones
and other traps as he would be II
the feet formed hooks by pointing
outward. The advantage is obvious
in snowshoeing. If the Indian were
turned to stone while In the act or
stepping, the statue would probably
stand balanced on one foot. ThlS
gait gives the limbs great control
over his movements. He is always
poised If a stick cracks under him
1t is because of his weight. and not
by reason of the impact. He goes
silently on and with great economy
of force. His steady balance enables
him to put his moving foot down as
gently as you would lay an egg on
the table.-Forest and Stream.

A Bold Bad Book Agent.

One day an enterprising agent who
had informed himself approached a
Mr.. Smith with the interested sug-
gestion,-
Now, Mr.. Smith, know that to-
day Is your wedding anniversary.
Don't you want to give Mrs. Smith
a handsome Bible as an anniversary
present? can let you have today a
beautiful fifteen dollar Bible for five
dollars"
After some discussion Mr.. Smith
took the Bible. Just here the plot
thickens. The book-agent pocketed
the proceeds, then promptly ran up
to Mr.. Smiths house. called for Mrs.
Smith, and asked II she wouldn't like
to make her husband a present Of
fine Bible on this anniversary. He
said that as he was anxious to dis
pose of all his books before going
to Cleveland at six o'clock, he would
sacrifice a beautiful fifteen dollar
Bible for five dollars. After some
hesitation Mrs. Smith bought the
Bible.
When Mr.. Smith reached home
that evening and presented his wife
with a large package containing an
anniversary gift she went into the
next room and produced its mate.
Tableau! Smith vowed vengeance
with all the heat of warm disposi-
ton. However there was fine festal
supper waiting, so he contented him.
self for the present with a telephone
appeal to one Lewis johnson,
nearby friend.
Lewis" he urged, II want you TO
hurry down to the station and stop
a book-agent who Is going to Cleve-
land at six o'clock. I must see him
before he leaves town. You just
hold him till I can finish supper and
get there" Then he gave a brief
description Of the man and rushed
back to his supper.
The good Lewis hoped on a pass
ing car and swept down upon the
book-agent just as the train pulled
in.
"See here" he explained, Smith
says that he must see you and that
you are to wait over a train for him"
Sorry; I'd like to oblige him, but
it's impossible. I'm due in Cleveland
at eight-thirty and have got to get
there. But / know what Mr.. Smith
wants. He was thinking Of buying
a Bible of mine for his wife's ami
versary present. It's really hand
some book, which I usually sell for
fifteen dollars. but as 1t is the last
one I have, I offered 1t to him for
five dollars" (producing the Bible.)
HE was to let me know II he wanted
1t. Couldn't you take 1t to him, as
1 can't possibly wait? He'd be dis
appointed not to have 1t, I know"
The obliging Lewis thereupon hasti-
ly produced five dollars for the agent,
acquired the Bible, and with the best
intentions in the world trotted back
to the Smiths with the book.

sense of humor saved the situation,
and with chastened spirits they dis

The Close Kid.

Henry H. Rogers Of the Standard
OH company was born in Fairhaven,
Mass, and a Fairhaven woman said
Of him the other day:
Mr.. Rogers is liberal. AS boy
he was the same. / never saw anyone
as free with his money as this man.
81 once asked Mr.. Rogers the best
and quickest way to accumulate big
fortune, and he told me liberality-a
willingness to part with lots Of money
in the hopes of getting still more back
was the secret Of success, provided
that industry and intelligence accom-
panied it.
He said that penuriousness was
fatal to the speedy acquisition OF
wealth, and he pointed to the case of
a miser, friend of his boyhood, who
with all his scrimpings and scrapings
had hardy saved $4,000 in the course
Of q long life.
81 remember this miser we'll. Even
as a little child he had been mean and
close. A lady, one afternoon, had
found him seated on a curbstone cry
ing and weeping as If his heart would
break
What is the matter, my poor child?'
the lady said.
"'Oh,' sobbed the child, I've lost a
penny what my mother give me-
Poor dear said the lady. Poor
little dear
And she opened her pocketbook
and took out another penny.
There she said. Take that
And she walked on. well pleased
with her philanthropy.
But she had hardly got ten yards
away before the youngster began to
howl louder than before.
Nov, now, child said the lady,
What's the matter now%
Its that cent l lost sobbed the
boy. If l hadn't lost 1t, I'd a had
two cents now.'"-Buffalo Enquirer.
