Tibbie was a Scotch lass, hardwork-
ing and comely. She ruled over a
grateful and suppressed family Of New
Englanders for eight years, and then
announced her intention of marrying
within six weeks.
Il suppose it Is Rab whom you mean
to marry, Tibbie?" asked her nominal
mistress, referring to tall, mild faced
young Scotchman who had spent more
or less time in Tibbie's spotless kitchen
for the last three years.
"It u.s." announced Tibbie calmly.
"Here he's been coming and sitting wi
me all these times and never a word O.
merrying. So at long last l said to
him, If you've no mind to TAX me, Rab.
We can jist say so, and I'll spend nae
more on bright ribbons to sit up WI
We, but I'll tax my money to buy one
of those talking machines that plays
tunes, after I've paid for strip O.
new oilcloth to cover the floor where
you've worn out the old one, and then
I'll talk my releegious books and settle
down in quiet
"Rabbie was so concerned at my
drear prospects and the thoughts O.
my savings he said he would haze me

Shooting Down the Alps on skees

Shooting Down the Alps on Skees.
The quest for a moral is provoked by
a long list Of skeeing accidents in the
Alps. In itself the exercise can hardly
be considered more perilous than skat-
ing, though the proportion of sprained
ankles and twisted tendons is higher,
but when the skeer skees a distance
from his base and ventures upon I'M
familiar ground there are at least
three ways in which calamity is liable
to befall him. On glacier he may
break through the snow bridge which
he is trying to shoot and be buried in a
crevasse. On the hillside he may skee
violently down steep place and, I'M
able to arrest his pace, end by skeeing
over a precipice. Almost anywhere,
unless he knows the signs, he may skee
in the tracks of an avalanche and be
overwhelmed. Examples of each Of
these several kinds Of disaster have
lately been presented, and each Of the
disasters conveys a warning of which
amateur skeers, whose name nowadays
is legion, would do we'll to take a
careful note.-London Graphic.

How a Horse Sleeps.

Horses always point one ear forward
when they sleep. Exactly why it is
done no human being can tell but the
relic of the time when they were wild
and obliged to be on their guard even
when asleep. Cattle, on the other
hand, are apparently Indifferent as to
the position of their ears while sleep
ing, but no odds what position they
are in both are always pointed alike
Ask some observing horseman if it is
not fact that horse always throws
one ear forward when he sleeps.

Star Rays.

What causes the rays or pencils of
light that seem to be thrown out by
every star when seen by the naked
eye? A German scientist finds that all
stars show precisely the same rays,
but that in the case of the brighter
stars the rays are palmer and some
what longer. 1t is further remarked
that the rays seen by the left and right
eyes differ, and that if the head be
turned the rays are rotated in CORE.

Horton, Kas., on Sunday, taking dinner
with her that day. Mrs. Snyder left
the Snyder home in Poe township about
September 1, and since that time Mr..

money in search of her, but was unable
to locate her until she was willing. She
took with her the three younger child
