tempting food (malaga grapes). light

stinctively he grasped it, bit 1t, then
dropped 1t and began straining at his

BILE with his foreleg. making vain eff
forts to scratch in his food. The rake

as before and jerked 1t, and the grape
rolled within reach of his paw. The
rake was dropped and forgotten and
the faithful paw utilized fs' the COM

Now what happens when the grape
has been eaten? The rake is still with

Not Esop's Day.

West Points aim is to teach men to-
meet any situation with the best there
is in them. When General Custer was
a cadet, he ventured into the French
section room without having so much
as looked at the days lesson. The sec
ton had been engaged in the translM-
ton of 11sop's fables from French to-
English, but on this particular day the
task consisted of a page of history
written in French. Cadet Custer was
given the book and very braveiy
dashed into the translation of this
sentence: Leopold, due d'Autriche, se'
mettit sur les PLANES de Silesie." But
the Duke of Austria did not seem to-
appeal to him. for without hesitation
he read:
"The leopard. the duck and the Os-
trich met upon the plains of Silesia."--

FAIRIES IN IRELAND.
A Boatman's Story of the Antics Of
the Little People.

A Boatman's Story of the Antics Of
the Little People.
Here is a modern fairy story from
Ireland: Zone day about twenty years
ago." writes correspondent, 81 was
fishing from a boat on Tough Derg.
| inquired of my boatmen if they had
ever seen fairies. At first, fearing to
be laughed at, they secuted the idea.
but one of them told the following:
ION Sunday he was returning after
mass and stood with a friend named
Sullivan on the bridge of Killaloe.
Looking toward a potato field on the
slope of the rising ground to the east
of the town, a field which he was able
to point out from the boat, he saw
issuing from the liss a troop of little
people, one being distinctly taller than
the rest. At first they seemed rather
blurred, then took distinct shapes and
began to play the national game Of
hurley among the bare potato rigs.
He called Sullivan's attention TO them,
but for some time his friend could not
see them, then said he could, and they
watched the game together for time.
Then the sun went in, and the fairies,
moving toward the liss, as If return
ing to it, vanished. Lisses are rough
places, sometimes hillOcks, sometimes
depressions, often bushy, but never
cultivated. | have been told they are
left as doorways for the fairies when
visiting the earth's surface.

HUNTING MAHOGANY.

II Takes an Experienced Woodsman to
Locate the Trees.
Mahogany trees do not grow in clus-
tiers, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden in dense growth
of underbrush. vines and creepers and
require skillful and experienced
woodsman to find them. He seeks the
highest ground in a forest. climbs to
the top of the tallest tree and surveys
the surrounding country. The mahog-
any has a peculiar foliage. and his
practiced eye soon detects the trees
within sight
The axmen follow the hunter and
then come the sawyers and hewers, n
large mahogany taking two men full
day to fell it. The tree has large spurs
which project from the trunk at its
base. and scaffolds must be erected so
that the tree can be cut off above the
spurs. This leaves a stump ten to ff-
teen feet high. which is sheer waste,
as the stump really contains the best
lumber
The hunter has nothing to do with
the work of cutting or removing the
tree his duty being simply to locate
