chamols for New Zealand.

An Austrian warship visited New Zealand last year. Its officers were handsomely entertained and present. ed with variety of local products and curios. In recognition of this hospitality the Emperor Francis Jos eph has made gift of eight chamois to the colony. The transportation of the animals to the other side of the globe was risky undertaking, but it has been successfully accomplished. The passage between the tropics was the crucial stage of the voyage, but the chamois were carefully shielded from the heat and emerged without any loss save temporary one of ap- petite. New Zealand has snow-clad Alpine heights, where they will soon feel perfectly at home.

Courage.

Gen. H. M. Robert in an address in Philadelphia said. that it was impos. sible for woman to love man with. out courage-that to the coward wom ans love was denied.
 Men know this" Gen. Robert ap. pended afterward, "and therefore the slightest imputation on their courage is felt horribly. The mind magnifies it till it becomes as great slur as as
 But let me tell you story.
 "A city man went hunting. After he had banged away for some hours without success two boys who had been following him approached and the older said:
 Say, mister, if you're out for sport and ain't afraid to pay for it, my brotherll let you shoot at him for two hours for a quarter

JOHN HAD BEEN RETRIEVED.
Friend Told Good Lie and Stuck to it,
 But Without Avail.


 This being a true story of recent occurrence the prominent politician will be known as MT. John Brown. and his intimate friend. politician of less prominence, as Mir. James Mo Coy. It seems that at about noon MT. Brown was unduly exhilarated when seen by his friend, and after exacting from him promise that he would at once go home MT. Mccoy went to his office. About three o'clock in the afternoon he responded to a telephone call, and was just little Hurried on learning that Mrs. Brown was at the other end of the wire.
 Have you seen John to-day?' she asked.
 T did, Mrs. Brown. He was called away op important business this morning, but just little while ago got message from him that he would start back on the next train. He'll be in town in about an hour"
 Mir. Mccoy was still at work in his office at five o'clock when again he was called to the telephone. Again it was Mrs. Brown.
 Has John got back yet, MT. Nc Coy"
 Yes, but he had several important matters to attend to, and just started for the street car few minutes ago He'll be home in three-quarters of an hour at the latest"
 q am very much obliged. Mir. Mo Coy, but l put John to bed half an hour ago"
 All of which goes to show that there are times when lie well stuck to is not as good as the truth.
