THE HUNTING DOGS SCENT.

A rabbit hears a man and deg coming and goes bounding away for safety. The dog strikes the scent smells around briefly, and then is off in the direction that the rabbit has taken. The wonder is not that the dog should strike the scent, but this. Each of the several spots the rabbit touched was touched by him within fraction of a second of one anoth- CT; yet so accurate is the sense of smell of the dog that he can tell which was touched last, and so get the direction of the rabbits course New York Press.

Little Rock, Oct 13.-Section Direc- tor Alciatore of the weather bureau yesterday afternoon stated that the present cool weather would last for three or four days and then there would be another warm wave pass over Arkansas.

A Jacobs Story.

w. w. Jacobs, the humorist, tells the
following story:
A lawyer defending man accused
of housebreaking spoke like this:
"Your honor, submit that my client
did not break into the house at all. He
found the psrlor window open and
merely inserted his arm and removed a
few trifling articles. Now, my clients
arm is not himself, and fail to see how
you can punish the whole individual for
an offense comitted only by one of his
limbs"
"Thst argument" said the Judge,
"is very we'll put. Following it logi-
cally, 1 sentence the defendants arm to
one years imprisonment. He can ac-
company it or not, as he chooses"
The defendant smiled, and with the
lawyers assistance unscrewed his cork
arm, and, leaving it on the dock, walked
out.-Success.

Smart Aleck
Is Trapped
A Fable Illustrating the Folly of
Prying into Other Peoples
Personal Affairs.

Once upon time Smart Aleck was
accosted by onelegged beggar. When
the beggar asked the Smart Aleck for
aims, the latter threw out his chest and
delivered long dissertation on the
folly o. improvidence, the evils of dis
sipation and the sins of idleness.
When the Smart Aleck saw tlat the
onelegged beggar was meekly listen
ing it filled him with so much compass
sion that he was moved to bestow some
gift upon the unfortunate man.
81 will give you one piece of silver,
said he, "if you will answer me honest
iy, one question"
"'Tis well, my Lord" said the beg
gar, 81 will answer you honestly, one
question"
Then the Smart Aleck handed the
oneIegged beggar pie, e of silver, and
said:
"Teil me, how did you lose your leg?"
"'Twas bitten off," said the beggar
in tone of disgust, as he looked at the
silver ten cent piece and started to
move away.
"Hold," said the Smart Aleck, "but
what manner of thing would bite off
mans legf"
81 have answered you one question"
replied the beggar, land will answer no
more"
| So they haggled and wrangled and
the onelegged beggar at last told the
Smart Aleck that he would answer his
questions providing he was paid just
ten times as much for each question as
the amount received for the one last
before it, and to this arrangement the
Smart Aleck finally consented.
"Now, tell me-" said he, "what bit off
your leg aud where2" and then he
handed the beggar dollar.
"a Rampoon bit off my leg" said the
beggar, Gin the Jungles of Boreai"
"My! Goodness gracious!" said the
Smart Aleck as he handed the beggar
ten dollars for the third question. "Tell
me quickly, what is Rampoon and
where are the Jungles of BoreaiI"
Then the onelegged beggar spoke
slowly, and said:
GA Rampoon is male Curiosticus
that goes around sticking his inquisitive
proboscis into other peoples Personal
Affairs, and delivering long disserta-
tions on the Frailties of Human Life
and the Most Available Methods of
Circumventing Them. The Jnngles Of
Boreai are every ywhere-even right here
where we stand"
When they carried the Smart Aleck
into the hospital ward Of the Gimlet
Club and examined him they found
that he had broken his Augur.
