England and, leaving his horse and
wagon at the gate, went to the door.
where q big woman with a rather
pleasant face met him. he told her
what he had for sale and succeeded in
disposing of half dozen articles to
her. Then she said she had not
money enough to buy more.

woman.
The peddler saw at least dozen
children, all small, about the house

a joke that be might play on the
woman.
"You seem to have plenty of chill

sell me one Of them and take the pay

for a moment that a mother would
sell her child for lot of tinware.
But she did not call him back much
to his amazement, while, as for the
boy, he was in high gles, for he was
going to have a drive.
Presently the peddler, fearing the
joke had been turned on him. drove
back to the gate. Lifting the disap-
pointed little fellow down from the
wagon, he went with him 10 the door.

A cat never actually wags its tail.

But, nevertheless, it seems to serve

carefully stalking bird or a man, as
In the case of kitten or lion, the
tip of the tail is never still for mo-
ment-ever curling and uncurling.
We may compare this to the ner.
vous tapping of the foot or fingers in
a man. When an angry lion is roaring
its loudest, his tail will frequently lash
from side to side, giving rise among
the ancients to the belief that he
scourged his body with a hook or thorn
which grew from the end Of the tail.
When jsgusr walks along a slender
bough or a house cat perambulates the
top of a board fence, we perceive an.
other important function of the tail

The New Ruling

The postofice department has
issued = new ruling effective
January l, 1908, that publishers
of weekly papers can extend to
subscribers but one years credit
and be admitted to the mails as
second class matter. Publishers
will be Obliged to pay postage of
one cent for each paper mailed to
q subscriber more than one year
in arrears, or stop the paper.
Apparently no time is given for
publishers to clean up their delin-
quent subscribers, Is the order
went in to effect January l. But
it is to be presumed that time will
at least be given to send out state
ments. Should delinquents feil to
respond, the publisher, in COM
pliance with the law, will be oblig-
ed to cut them of the list. If your
paper is suddenly discontinued you
will understand the reason for it.
