HOW DOE SAVED HER FAWN
instance of Wonderful Maternal Intel.
igence Told by French Writer
and Traveller.

The following anecdote is related by
M, X Raspail It is worthy of com
parison with the most remarkable OF
instances of the same kind
The author one day perceived a doe
in full flight before two dogs in the
Aigle woods that form a part of the
forest OF Chantilly The doe was ac-
companied by very young fawn
which appeared quite exhausted and
ready to drop The mother, doubtless
well aware of this, sackened her pace
and presently stopped close to some
thick bramble bushes She remained
some time there with lowered head
as # awaiting the onset of her pur-
suers.
Suddenly an idea seemed to strike
her. and with a butt of the head she
tossed her fawn right into the middle
of the thicket Then first advancing
gently as If to make sure It was we'll
hidden, she soon set off by rapid
bounds In front of the dogs. The lat
ter barking close upon her heels, she
made sudden bound and thus drew
them far from the spot where this In.
cident occurred The bowling Of the
dogs became fainter and fainter. the
valiant animal having doubtless led
them two kilometers away into the
Canardardiere peat boys, where the
dogs often lose the scent.
In fact later they were seen return
ing to the village in an exhausted
condition. while the intelligent mother
doubtless returned TO the bushes to
find the little fawn she had so cleverly
hidden and placed in safety.

TO ACQUIRE TACT.

1t is generally conceded that tact
is a quality which serves us well at
all times and under all circumstances.
And while all regard 1t as thing
greatly to be desired, many fail to
recognize that 1t may be consciously
cultivated. If we analyze fact we find
that it is made up of certain elements:
A sympathetic knowledge of human
nature, its fears, weaknesses, expec-
tations and inclinations.
The ability to put yourself In the
other persons place and to consider
the matter as 1t appears to him
The magnanimity to deny expires.
sion to such of your thoughts as
might unnecessarily offend another.
The ability to perceive quickly what
is the expedient thing, and the will
ingness to make the necessary con.
cessions.
The recognition that there are mil
lions of different human opinions Of
which your own is but one.
spirit of unfeigned kindness such
as makes even an enemy a debtor to
your innate good will
A patience that supplants accusa-
ton with the opportunity for self-dis-
covery.
