4 LITTLE NONSENSE.
Miss Smiths New Hat and What Be-
came Of H.

A certain good natured doctor
whose doorbell rang late one night,
supposing that the summons was
from one who needed his services,
rose frem bed. put on his dressing
gown and went down 10 the door.
\ young man stood there holding
a huge package, from which buds
and leaves were protruding.
rs Miss Smith in" asked the
man.
She has retired" answered the
doctor. Miss Smith was his cook.
Il am sorry, sir, to call so late.
Something went wrong with the car
was in. Ill leave this for her, sir,
if YOU will kindly give it TO her in
the morning
Certainly" said the doctor. He
took the bundle carefully, closed the
door and carried the flowers into the
kitchen. There he placed a dish
pan in the sink, drew few inches
Of water in II, carefully pressed the
base of the package into the water
and went back to bed, thinking how
pleased the cook would De.
The next morning he went into
the kitchen early to find the cook
holding a dripping bundle. Her
manner was belhgerent, and her
tone was in keeping with it.
IF | had the pussons wot did
this" said she, I'D empty the ket-
tie on them, I'd let them see if
they could put my new hat in
dlshpan, | would"
The doctor left the kitchen some
what hurriedly. and not until he
was safe in his study did he give
vent TO the laughter which was con-
suming him. Philadelphia Ledger.

WHf WE DO SOME THINGS.
Certainly Not Because We Look Pretty
When We Do Them.

A man does not take off his hat
TO a lady because he looks nicer
without it. The instance of bald
men would be alone sufficient TO up
set such an explanation.
He does it because YOU must posi-
tively do something when You meet
a lady or your whole civilization
goes TO pieces, and taking off your
hat is easier than taking off Your
necktie or living face downward on
the pavement.
The primary point Is that You
must do something, not that YOU
must do something beautiful. And
as long as cultivated people cannot
grasp this fact they will find their
efforts quite futile in dealing with
what they often consider the dull
ness of the middle classes or the
vulgaritv and morbidity of the
poor.
In so far as the bourgeois thinks
it more important to wear a Sunday
hat than becoming hat he is per-
fectlv right. 1t is more important =.
the religion Of the tribe Is more i'm
portant than the pretty appearance
of Mr.. Jones.
In so far as the charwoman thinks
it more important that her husband
should have 'proper" funeral than
a pretty funeral she is perfectly
right. 1t is more important. De-
corum is as permanent human
sentiment as art and IA much more
pressing one. ANY healthy savage
would understand the charwoman's 5
sentiments exactly and perhaps
alarm her with demonstrations Of
barbaric approval,
He would also understand per
fectly the sentiment of a Sunday
hat. | believe in savages myself.
/ think that in a great many mat
tiers they represent the enduring
common sense and moral minimum
of humanity. There is nothing
which | so sincerely respect in saw
ages as their widespread and gener-
ally ascertained disposition to wear
top hats.-London Illustrated News.

Prayed For More Snakes.

In a rural town in Michigan
lived a family named Beaver noted
for their hardihood in all manner
of naughtiness. They were the
great torment of the ministers life
Finally one Of the boys was bit by
a rattlesnake and sent for him. He
found the lad greatly scared and
very penitent. After some conyer-
sation the reverend gentleman
closed the interview by PRAYER.
80 Lord" he began, 1--WE thank
thee for rattlesnakes. We thank
thee that a rattlesnake has bit jim.
Send another, we pray thee, to bite
Tom and one TO bite Joe. And. 0
Lord, send the biggest kind of a
rattlesnake to bite the old man. for
nothing less than rattlesnakes will
bring this Beaver family TO repent
ance. ."-Nietaphvsical Magazine.

DOES THE DOG REASON?
Authentic Instances That Seem to War.
rant That Conclusion.

rank nat CONCLUSION.
A dog ! owned suffered great
deal with Indigestion. The least in
discreet diet would bring on these
attacks. and as they occurred very
frequently | had a large bottle Of
medicine always on hand and kept
it on shelf in his kennel. The
dog seemed to have acquired thor
Ough comprehension as to the relief
bringing quality of that bottle.
Whenever he was i'll and food was
placed before him he would scent it,
walk away without touching it, then
turn to the shelf and, gazing stead
ilv at the bottle. indicate plainly his
wants. He took the medicine with
out the slightest baking, which is
rather exceptional, as any one who
ever tried 10 dose dog will agree.
This dog when let out would
never disturb anything in the poul-
try yard, but the moment a stray
chick lost her way into his ward the
savage got the better of him. He
would catch the unfortunate strag-
glcr, kill and devour it, leaving only
few feathers as evidence of the
murder" Punishment always fol-
lowed. The remnants of feathers
were shown to the dog so as TO i'm
press on him his wrong dolngs and
make the cause OF the punishment
clear to him. From time to time
Young chickens would be missing,
and all efforts to locate the guilty
one were vain. The dogs yard was
ALWAYS scrutinized, but nothing
found.
Nv best broilers were disappear
ing at rapid rate, and | decided to
have the dog watched Soon he was
caught in the act and the mystery
solved. The moment the dog had
finished his meal he scratched the
feathers in heap and carried them
with his teeth to a corner of his
ward, wher he buried them. The
dog had the most embarrassed and
helpless expression at the time he
was caught that | ever noticed on
dog. An extra severe punishment
was dealt out, and | do not know
if the modification of being trapped
or the punishment did the work,
but the dog was cured from that
moment on.
The related observations show
reasoning in order to accomplish
something for set purpose. | be-
lieve most animals possess the quail
itv in some degree, more or less,
according to their mental develop
ment.
In the last case described the
dogs instinct led him to catch and
kill the chicken. but memory told
him that punishment would follow
| if found out. He reasoned that by
hiding the evidence of his guilt he
would escape punishment for his ac-
tions, which he understood to be
wrong. The very fact of being able
to discriminate between right and
wrong and irving to check the con-
sequences of the latter shows the
necessity of thinking and therefore
of reasoning powers. L. De Fa-
bry in Outing.

1t has been a source of interest
and wonder to arctic explorers to
find such quantities of singing birds
within the arctic circle. They are
abundant beyond belief. But the
immense crops of cranberries, crow
berries and cloudberries that ripen
in the northern swamps account for
the presence of the birds. The ber-
ries are preserved in the snow,

the songsters appear, and then they

as that which has no parts and no

on that which has no parts and no

point. Thirdly and lastly, it will if

which time its deposits have steadily increased until
they now amount to than Seven Hundred Thou

1t is with excusable pride that the management
points to the fact that Notwithstanding monetary strn-
gencies and panics there has been six months
period since the organization OF the Bank that did not
show an increase in the deposits
As is well known, ex-Gov Page. the President Of
the Bank has always been strong believer in the idea
that Vermont money ought to be kept in Vermont to
foster Vermont enterprises and to build up Vermont
industries He has acted upon the principle that it is
not on for the good OF Vermont but for the safety of
the Bank to do this because the security for home
loans always be carefully examined and considered
by the Directors of the Bank The result OF this line
of conduct the part of this Bank is that it now holds
the unique record OF never having lost dollar by
poor note, nor does it hold SO far as known a
single dollar OF poor or doubtful paper.
This Bank pays 3l2 per cent interest compounded
sen-annuay and socits deposits from all who regard
safety OF principal rather than high of interest as
the first prerequisite in the proper conduct of Savings
Institutions and who believe that ii only safer
but wtha better for the deposor that his money be
invested at home where it will help the state in which
he is primarily interested.
