WAIsrLeR's COCK FIGHT YARN.
Disguised Eagle Psted by Yankee
SalloFo Against British Champions.

Whistler used to take delight In tell
Ing a story of some American sailors
who were at cockfght in seaport
town in England, when one of them
remarked to the owner of the cham.
pion:
We've got an American cock on
board that can whip any bird here"
go fetch i'm on" said the English
man, chuck i'm In and see. II g licks
one bird we ave plenty more to throw
in that can lick hany blawsted Ha'
merican bird you can fetch ere"
"All right; Wen bring one" said the
sailors.
When they got aboard they rugged
UP an American eagle. After their
own manner they painted, trimmed,
spliced. and reefed fore and aft, trans
forming the eagle to cock. When
ready they went ashore. and at the pit
chucked in their new gamecock
which, overcome by surprise, prompt
ly backed close to the wall.
Now bring on your BIRDS yelled
the sailors.
A strutt,ng COCK was thrown into
the pit, and was another surprise to
the poor dismantled eagle. He backed
closer and closer to the wall, wonder
Ing what would happen next.
The cock walked three times males
tically around the circle, cutting at his
strange opponent. the eagle pitiably
abashed and bedrabbled, crouchine
lower ana lower, and looking around
and above him for an explanation o.
what 1t all meant, while the GROVE
were yelling madly for the English
fighter.
The eagle made himself smaller ant
smaller, but at last, finding that h'
could get back no further, and think
ing that something was expected o
him, stretched out his long claws al
the cock dashed at him again and tool
his opponent by the neck.
Here Whistler ended, with an imita
ton by motions of what the eagle did
He stretched out his arm, shaped hi
hand like a claw (by this time !
looked like real one), drew 1t to hi
mouth. and, with one bite, pulled OF
the head, as he thought an eagl,
might do 1t. Then he looked blandl.

ECONOMICAL OLD LEM oRErN.
New Yorker Prominent In Race for
Mean Mans Medal,

They we're swapping stories about
people who were "close" or near
the adiectives seem more expressive
u an the word ,stingy. The upstate
man had the floor.
I'D ever tell you of old Lemuel
Coco who lived in my town? Old
Len was about as economical as they
make them. BY strict attention to busi-
mes and never spending a cent more
thnn he had to. he had accumulated
considerable property, and on retiring
rom active life, his one ambition was
to keep his money intact, adding to
1t, OF course, when occasion offered.
His nightly occupation was to figure
up the interest on his investments, to
see how much richer he was than tho
day before, The first thing he would
do In the morning. after his frugal
breakfast, which he took at an I'M
earthly hour. was to go to the hotel.
where he was first to get hold Of the
morning paper left for the benefit Of
the patrons of tho hostelry 1t was
the keenest sort of enjoyment for him
was attended with no expense.
1.-THE browning achievement OF his
career came In connection with his
marriage, an event which took place
very late in life. He always had said
he couldn't afford to get married, and
the announcement of his approaching
nuptials set the whole community
agog. It was figured out that in some
way he was going to make or save
money by It, but just how we didn't
know. and l guess no one knows to
this day; however, Lem being what he
was, there can be no doubt that he
was the monetary gamer At any rate,
he showed, Immediately after the
ceremony, that he had entered into
the state Of wedlock In no extravagant
spirit.
THE marriage took place at the
parsonage. After the words which
made the twain one had been pro.
nounced Lem, in the presence of the
minister and the witnesses. turned to
his wife and his hand went down into
his trousers pocket. I had 1t from the
minister that the moment was one
of tense expectancy. On withdrawing
his hand Il was seen that II contained
nickel. This flve-cent piece Lem
presented to Mrs. Green. Here he
said, is your carfare home I'll walk.
And walk he did, letting thanks take
the place of the customary fee to the
dominic"

Sheepdog Trials.

Sheepdog trials are becoming popu-
lar in Canada, and there Is some call
for them in the neighborhood of New
York. But the east can hardly be
called q sheep country. and where
there are no sheep there can be little
use for working sheepdogs. Sheep.
dog trials are looked upon as a sort
of national pastime or game In Wales
and Australia, and to watch the dogs
work is to recognize the marvellous in.
telligence of these aids to shepherds.
The great Toronto show or fair is
now the gathering place of the sheep.
dog owners, and the entertainments
that their dogs have given have been
greatly applauded. Mai. G.. NJ. Carno.
chan is the chief supporter of the
trials near New York, and his dogs
have given very good exhibitions.
The uses OF these competitions are
manifold. They point to the dog as a
utility animal for man, and of what
service he is particularly to the shep-
herd. In the great paddocks of Aus
tralia and on the mountains of Wales
and Scotland, one dog can do the
work of hundred men; he is an indis-
pensable animal. Again, these trials
give to townfolk an inkling as to the
intelligence of dog, and 1t is to be
hoped they will treat him accordingly.
