The probable defense Of the COmpa-

when he was asked TO state what was
being done TO stop the Gro Vding Of cars.
In reply TO that, let ne read you

A newspapers advertising value is
largely gagged by the esteem in which
the paper is held by its readers. The
newspaper which does business in q bus-
inesslike way; that is, has only paid sub
scribers who pay their money for the
paper because they like it and want it, is
sure to be good advertising medium.
On the other hand, the newspaper which
sends out papers to anybody who will
take it out of the postofice, and builds
up subscription list in this way, is y
little value to the advertiser. Ads in
such newspaper won't help the adver
Users bank account any.

More than 200 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam. Holland,
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child In that she cared
nothing whatever for play aud sport,

making on silk with colored doss ex.

thought wonderful.
But after she had become very &C.
complished In music, spinning and en-
broidery she abandoned oil these for a
still more, extraordinary art-that scf
cutting She executed landscapes, ma
rine views, flowers, animals and p0f-

CAMELs HARB0R HATRED.

Will Wait Until an. Opportunity A..
rives For Revenge.
The Arab who: has angered a camel
will throw his clothes upon the
ground. and the Infatuated beast after
stamping OH tbeD and tearing them
asunder with its teeth goes on its
way. and the driver Is thereafter quite
safe, as 1t seems to he an axiom with
the camel that no man shall be put In
peril Of life twice for one offense.
The camel is, stupid save when an
cry and then seems to become almost
preternatural in carrying out its venge-
full designs. Palgrave relates the fol-
lowing story Of q camei's revenge.
which serves to illustrate this point:
"A lad Of fourteen had conducted a
large camel laden with wood from one
villuge' to another at half hours dis
lance. AS the animal loitered or turn
ed out Of the way its conductor struck
It repeatedly aud harder than II SEEM
-. to have thought he had right to
10: but. not fnding the occasion favor
,ble for tNking immediate quits. 1t
bode it's time That time was not
long in coming $751;
"A few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the baast. but unladen. to
his own village: When they were
about halfway a.f.the road and at
some distance from any habitation the
camel suddenly stopped. looked DELHI
erately round in every direction to as
sure itself that no one was In sight
and. finding the road clear Of passers
by. made a step forward. seized the
unlucky boys head In Its monstrous
mouth and. lifting him up In the air.
flung him down again OH the earth
with the upper part Of his skull COM
pletely torn of, 80
Having thus satisfied its revenge.
the brute quietly resumed its pace TO-
ward the village. as though nothing
were the matter. till some men who
bad observed the whole. though unfor.
tunately at too great a distance to be
able to afford timely help. came uu
and killed it."-I.ondon Telegraph.
