HshWoman in the Animals Friend
tells how her favorite dog showed
that he knew he had done wrong
and was sorry for it. The family
was staying at Yarmouth, and Bran,
the dog, was absent for a whole day.
At night, just before the house was
shut up, he made his appearance.
His mistress met him at the hall
doorp and rebuked him. She refused
to take his offered paw. His night
1y resting-place was a box in the
cellar, and his usual custom was to
run downstairs Immediately to his
supper and his bed; but on this oc-
casion he remained at the top Of
the stairs and whined piteously.
Presently the woman's brother
said, "You must come and make it
up with Bran or the poor fellow
will cry all night - Accordingly
the door was opened, and each one
of the family shook Bran's paw in
sign of forgiveness. Then he quiet
~ walked downstairs, and after eat

One day four years ago last summer was the queer

the west looked dark and wild. About o'clock

it growing darker. We went outside and could see
in the distance dark funneshaped cloud which foretod

noticed it lowering We watched it anxousy for awhile
expecting every that it would drop the earth
It did not but stopped when about fifty feet above the
earth But it still continued to the sky and

descended in torrents This continued for quite
time. Then gradually, until o'clock the clouds cleared
away and the could be SEEM but it looked like great

greatest excitement. Some running wildly about
others had gone to their cellars for safety Some Of the
superstitious had fears of the world ending then
and there Finally the clouds cleared away and the

Of the people and they from their hiding places and

A WOODLAND CHASE.

One day when I was out in the
country a storm came up. The rain
splashed against the windows and the
wind hoWIed. Suddenly the storm
stopped and the sun shone brightly:
I called my brother to come down
to the river and take a swim. Just
as we went into the water we saw
deer running toward us. We
hurried and put on our clothes and
went to the hayshed. Just as we
went into the shed we saw two big
wolves running by. They were
chasing the deer and after that we
never saw the deer again. He had
come up to our house every day
before. -Albin Peterson,

Two Unfortunate omens.

In Great Britain there are two
particular superstitions which have
probably the largest following
that Friday is an unlueky day and
that thirteen is an unlucky number.
Fridays bad character was derived
from the fact that it was the day of
our Lord s cricifxion, as well as the
one on which Adam and Eve ate the
forbidden fruit, and likewise the
day of their death. Sailors have
still a strong objection to beginning
q voyage on that day, altho modern
conditions often make it imperative.
During the last few summers one
has noticed that the pleasure steam
ers running from London to the sea
nearly all omit their sailings on that
day. The truth is, however, that
luck is just as likely to come on Fri
day as on any other day. In Amer
lea it is looked upon as luck
bringer, and many important poll
tical events there have been con-
summated on that day. while Scot.

four years ago. Mama and went visit my uncle who
lived very large farm. When neared it, was
surprised to the high windmill and when reached
fields and pastures. After became acquainted with my
cousin, the first thing did to climb that windmill
When reached the top it seemed fine, but when
started to descend suddenly became dizzy nearly

THRU THE TUNNEL.

It was. about the middle of Au-
gust last year that we went to-
Portland. In the town from which
we started, North Yakima, Wash,
it was very warm and rainy. When
we arrived at the next station it
was very warm and little windy.
There is great tunnel about half
way between Portland and North
Yakima and on the north side of it,
it was very warm When we
reached the other side there was
snow on the ground. The train
stopped for about five minutes and
we looked around. The pine trees
looked stately and grand, and all
the little bushes, ferns and trees
were covered with the snow. It
made a very pretty scene and I
thought it especially so, as I had
never seen the mountains until
that summer. It always seems queer
to me why it. was so warm on one
side of the tunnel, while there was
snow on the other side. =
