ADVICE OF AN EMINENT GHOST.

In newspaper-press I discover about Sir Oliver Lodge, nearly related to Senator Lodge from Boston. Hon. Sir Lodge say-how that disembowled spir- it's of departed dead-ones is frequently discovered by Science By evening time, say Hon. Sir Lodge, when in. telligent person is setting alone to unrobe by bureau he must be sensi- tive about knocking. You hear bump buhp on high wallpaper of bedroom? That are not cause by Hon. Johnson, boarder upstairs, dropping shoes to carpet My nervous sakes! What is |? Thump-thump! It is wireless Ghost from Away Off trying to act inter- esting.
 What require?' you must ask to know from Hon. Ghost.

me some oil by Joe" He gave th8 paddle to Joe and started him home. In a short time Joe came back, an oil can tied around his neck He had received a piece of bread and butter at the house as pay for his work.
 But the dogs best work Is with the pigs. As Mir. Smith goes to the trough with pail in each hand and Joe at his heels, you might hear this talk:
 Joe, there's those pigs in that trough again" With no further words Joe clears the fence with a bound and begins scattering the pigs right and left He lines the pigs up in a circle about the trough, where he keeps them until Mir Smith sweeps and cleans the trough. Then he says: That will do, Joe" and Joe jumps the fence again and walks quietly back at his masters side.
 The family had all petted and babied the dog ever since he was little wOb- bling pup. They have -ways talked to him and never whipped him. They never fail to pay him in some way for work we'll done lie was never trained. He just learned.

DOG FARM HAND.
intelligence of a Setter Who Takes the Place of a Man In Some
 Farm Operations.

Joe Smith is a dog that works. He miles southeast of Ottawa, Kan, says the Kansas City Star. Joe carries a the cup each morning from the house to the barn to be filled with fresh milk for breakfast. He has a quart water pail that he considers his own, and has been known to carry it half filled with water to the hay field twelve times a day.
 The dog has been trained to carry berry boxes When a picker runs out of boxes and calls: Joe, bring me a box" he goes to the crate, picks out an empty box, and takes it to the pick CT who called.
 If any member of the family goes to the door and says: Joe, do you see any hawks today?" he will make a large circle around the house, and the chicken yard, scanning the sky, and perhaps go tearing down the field under q blackbird or a song bird that happens to be passing. He does not like COWS but will go to the end of the pasture, three-quarters of mile from the house. and bring the cows home. walking quietly behInd the herd.
 One day last summer Mir. Smith was moving at the far end of his farm when his machine oil gave out. He happened to have a small paddle in his pocket on which he wrote. Send

IMPERIAL VALLEY STOCK
Great Show of Fine Animals at c. w..
 company's Sale.

The show stock farm of the Imperial Valley region is the great ranch of the California Mexico Land & Cattle Go. at Calexico. It is a show place be- cause it Is a highly improved ranch, run on business lines to get the best possible results. Its two haciendas, one on each side of the boundary, are collections of the best farm buildings in Southern California. and the stock in it's fields and stables is the finest to be found in all the Southwest. The C.-M ranch covers nearly a million acres of range below the border and includes an alfalfa field of 1000 acres on the American side.
 The periodical auction sale of C.-M. stock has become an institution of Inn perial Valley. and is virtually an ex- hibition of what the valley can pro- duce in horses, mules, cattle and swine. Breeders say that the C.-M. parade of Percherons is unequalled.
 At the next sale, April 2S, not less than 500 head will be offered. The list includes heavy draft animals, brood mares, driving horses, saddlers, mules and a bunch of thoroughbred race horses holding records on the track.
 At noon on the sale day, the com pany will give a great barbecue to visitors.

THE BIRD CLOWN.
A Queer Kind Of Fellow Is the Yellow
Breasted Chat

EFSGSted Chat.
The oddities of the yellow breasted
chat begin even with hls classification.
To think Of warbler the size of a
Baltimore orioIe, warbler with
song like q mocking bird. Indeed,
there is little about the chat that is
not remarkable He goes in for the
weird and the spectacular If Nature
designed him 10 show what she could
do in the way Of the unusual and the
eccentric, she had remarkable success.
This bird and not the catbird is the
real clown Of the woods" Clown of
the thicket would be moro apt, for. like
the catbird he prefers the shrub and
lower trees. Y wild tangle of briers
and vines is Il favorite haunt. 1t is
only the better to survey such a re-
treat that he mounts to the top Of a
tree. From his lofty perch lie sings,
to the ama2cnc4t and bewiIdermcnt
of the person that hears the song for
the first time. More likely than not
he will become invisible and silent
upon the first attempt to approach
him, remaining quiet and hidden till
You move on again: then he chuckles
loudly and scolis and spits and SCOTS
till YOU are out Of sight and hearing.
40 bird is so fearful of being seen
or such Il master Of hide and seek. Ii
IS worse than useless to try to steal Il
