An Undeserved Reflection.


A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by a handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp 10 camp, :,s he moved
along the stream.
One day he met party of men
working upstream with native
guide. The guide Immediately recog
nized the dog as his own property.
Trying to steal my setter. are
you?" he shouted at the clergyman
I'll have you to Jail for this. There's
a law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city,"
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion Of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away. but to little effect
until he added a 81 bill to his argu-
ments.
''Its' queer what strange things
happen to a man up here" he said
to the stage-driver who later carried
him away from the woods. THAT is
the first time l was ever accused Of
stealing dog"
"Yes, SIR replied the driver. sym.
pathetically, and added, after mo.
ment's pause: For myself, sir. l
have never been accused of stealing
anything."-Youth's Companion.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

A great many people seem to think
that the marriage ceremony absolves
them from all further courtesies and
attentions to the person whom they
have we'd
After that they are always in neg
lige, both as to manners and clothes.
when they are at home.
This is fatal mistake. Because
a woman is married is no excuse for
her gaing untidy about the house
and telling her husband home truths
that hurt his vanity. Because wo-
man is his wife gives man no right
to say things to her he would not
care to say to any other lady who
possessed a big, able-bodied brother.

HIGH JUMPING At SEA.
A Whale That Jumped Over a Boat
-Tunas That Leap 20 Feet.

The most stupendous of all leap
ers of the sea-" says a writer IN Out
ing, "is the whale have seen a
monster weighing hundreds Of tons,
possib>. eighty feet in length. rise
slowly and deliberately out OF the
water until it appeared to be dancing
on the surface, entirely clear OF it.
then sink slowly back.
Such a leap is on record in the
annals OF the British Navy. A large
whale cleared boat. going COM
pletely over it. an estimated leap OF
twenty feet in air-how many in
lateral direction was not known.
Exactly how high tuna can leap
it is difficult to say. have seen the
water beaten into foam by them four
miles distant, and have photograph
showing fish-a black streak at
least a mile distant high in air-a
jump of certainly ten or fifteen feet;
and it is my opinion. based on what
l have seen, that it is possible for a
lusty tuna, at full speed to project
itself twenty feet into the air and
thirty or forty feet in horizontal
direction.
Il Judge the latter possible from
the leap Of big tuna which cleared
the kelp and landed high on the rocks
at Santa Catalina. l have often stood
in the centre of school of leaping
tunas and watched them, but the sit
uation is not one suggestive of re-
pose or peace of mind"
