Knew Him Too We'll,

The late President Chester A. Arthur, although he was man of warm friendships, had a high sense of per sonal dignity that would brook no un. due familiarities. A lifelong friend of Mr. Arthur, who had accompanied him on one of his hunting trips, was telling an acquaintance some of the incidents of the hunt.
 T know it's the general impression" i" he said, "that Mir. Arthur Is cold, self centered sort of man, but it isn't true He is one of the most genial and com panionable of men when you become well acquainted with him I thought already knew him pretty well, but l came to understand him better while on that trip than ever before.'
 "I suppose you know him well enough now to call him by bis first name," ventured the other.
 "On the contrary" was the reioinder, T know him well enough not to call him by his first name. ."-Youth's Com paniOn. 1--A

4 certain elderly lady was in fairly good position and lived In one of tho suburbs of large town. One morn Ing she went to her butcher witr { basket filled with wooden skewerS.

 Perhaps the meannesses of maa1 people are more often actratcd by feelings of avarice than by those ;i economy. Ii would be difficult for h stance, to find worse case than Dte following: An old man once wrote g letter to friend, and, wishing te sa<e bis stamp, he ordered his servant to take it to its address. 1t was raniug, and the girl wore new dress that sue was afraid of spelling.

Desert Plants.

Plants of the desert, as a rule, pos, sess few leaves, the cactus. for in. stance, being mostly spines. There is a very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transferatlon of moisture by offering as small surface as pos sible to the dry air. For the same req son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume a vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points-such as the maple--from which the raln drops off. Were the leaves fatter the rain would collect and make them rot

A German law court was the scene lately of an amusing incident. The magistrate, tiresome and long wind ed person, was deciding a small case in which the plaintiff claimed damages for abuse.

he would return the following morning with

far Of Camp Endoriaski
After breakfast was finished, Mark and Per-
ey washed the dishes and put them away in
the "cupboard" being box Will had
and Will made" the beds and put the tents
to rights, while Ed, lying in the grass nearby,
amused himself by tickling Savage's ears with
long switch.
As each of the boys finished the task as
signed him, he came and sat down by Ed
and amused himself-Mark by. tickling Eds
ear, Herb by running long blade of grass
down Marks back, and Win and Percy by
watching the general fight that ensued.
1t, was quite, exciting for. time, as the
combatants rolled on top of Savage, and he
took hand-or rather a paw-in' the affair.
But it lasted only short time, and when it
was over, all the damage found to have re-
suited was button torn from Eds coat and
scratch across Marks nose.
tWell, what are we going to do today to
make the time pass most agreeabyT' asked
Herb, when peace and quiet had once more
been restored. Somebody propose some

"Well, cook, what do you say about it?'
asked Mark, giving Ed punch with his
"Why, don't care what you do; its none
of my affairs" replied Ed, unconcernedly.
~We'il have to have some wood, of course,
or we can't have any fires, or anything to
eat"
"Oh--aheml / see! l forgot you were to
do the cooking, and nothing else" rejoined
Mark. However, as it will be necessary TO
leave some one here to watch the camp, it
won't make SO much difference. You'll make

and Percy when they visited the farmhouse,
came running to meet his young master.
He seemed quite overjoyed to again see
Samuel and frisked about in lively way.
And while in this excited state of mind,
Fido espied Savage in the grass short dis.
tance away, nibbhng at bone Ed had thrown
to him..
With yelp of JOY, he made dash at the
little mascot, as though he would chew the
kitten all to pieces, and he seemed actually
to smile as he sped along, thinking what an
immense amount of fun he was about to
have.
But Savage didn't seem to see it that way,
somehow, as he paid no, attention to Fido
until the dog got pretty close; and then only
arched his back and turned "broadsides' to
the approaching cur, and waited for the at
tack.
Fido began with threatening attitudes and
pretended charges and attacks.
He did not know Savage, or he would
hardly have acted in this manner, and the
result would have been more to his liking.
But experience must ever be a dear teacher,
and so Fido found to his sorrow few sec
onds later.
He never knew just how it happened but
something suddenly hit him as he was dane
ing back and forth in front of this fierce
kitten, and the air seemed all at once to
be filled with black fur and numberless
sharp claws that scratched his ears and nose
in a frightful manner, and caused him to beat
hasty retreat and to do some very lively
yelping.
Savage got his "dander up" to use Marks
expression, and had given his would-be tor
mentor few lessons in the art of boxing
that the dog would remember.
The way Fido dropped his tail and started
for home when Savage got through with him
showed that he had learned all that he cared
to know about "the manly art"
The boys laughed heartily at the outcome
of the battle, and Mark went up to Savage
and, with a long. stick, complimentary
patfed him. on the back
come very funny. He had never seen Fido
whipped by a cat before, and to have him
"done up" by mere kitten "jest riled his

head!" he said, threateningly shaking his
fist at Savage as he spoke.
"Well. fur cent you'd better leave that

burned cat alone unless you want to make
tracks for home just like that dog oil yours
did," replied Herb, laughing. That's wwilo- w
cat, and he doesn't take any fooling from dogs
or anybody else" ~
Samuel became interested as soon as he
learned that Savage was wildcat, !,
"Wall, do yew know thought he kind nd : Q, !
looked like one," he said, moving little
further away from the aggressive kitten
"Gosh No wonder Fido couldn't lick him!

for that fellow there" (pointing at Mark
"He's ccmpus mensus lunatic, and we have
TO humor him that way"
Mark here looked cross-eyed at Samuel
and made a few spasmodic motions with
his hands, which fully convinced the farmer
boy that he was really some sort of lunatic,
and therefore quite as dangerous as the wild
cat.
Samuel excused himself shortly after this
informal introduction to the "lunatic" and
pet, and hurried off toward home, leaving

'"Tell your father that we'll pay him at the
end of the week." said Will, guessing the
reason of this hesitation.
"W-a-ll, pop said he lowed yew'd better
pay him every day, and then they wouldn t
be no trouble" was the hesitating reply.
"Oh he did, eh?' said Win, smiling again.
well, then, suppose we'd better do SO.
Give him ten cents, Herb"
Samuel took the money Herb handed him
and put it down deep in his trousers pocket,
then, without more ado, turned and started
in the direction of his home.
But he had not taken more than two or
three steps before be stopped, and putting
his fingers to his mouth, whistied shriily sew

"No, we haven't" replied VIII, answer
ing for the party. He wasn't with you
