It Wasn't a Witch He Caught,
 but His Ideal of a Girl.

 Andrew Salisbury was on his vaca- ton when he met his fate.
 A severe attack of typhoid had put him considerably on the bias. so that he welcomed a quiet recuperating old farmhouse twenty miles from lem on" as a desired haven and went there for a summers sojourn the 1st of July.
 The old couple with whom he board ed were one Lemuel Merriwether and bis wife, and they worried constantly for fear he should have relapse.
 "l'm very apt to-" Andrew assured them often, being so weak, you know The delirium especially is likely to return"
 Being lone young bachelor, he en- joyed their anxiety in his behalf and worked shamelessly on their sympa- thies.

 "Oh, it's very sad disease!" con- tinued Andrew pensively, reaching for his fifth cooky.
 Then he took his camera and went out for a mornings prowl through the woods
 The country was in its summer glory and just before be started back to the house he took the picture that started the trouble.
 ue had been walking along by the river, and, struck by a clump of birch trees that fringed a dim woodland path, he trained his camera on it and sought the finder. He smiled happily as he saw the picture it made-the slim young trees with the long path winding up behind them.
 That's fnei" he told himself and holding the camera steady, snapped it. He could scarcely wait to get home to develop it.
 Mrs Merriwether saw him coming and exclaimed anxiously, "Gracims me, boy, where's the fire?"
 Got prize package" he answered solemnly.
 Mrs. Merriwether, honest soul stared after him.
 You don't suppose, now, the heats affected his head, do you?" she whis- pered to Lemuel as he came up from the barn little later
 Hes been on the go all day in the hot sun. and after such a fever as he had he's liable to have spells of looney, you know he said so. I just asked him what he was hurrying so for, and he said he had prize pack age, and declare to goodness I didn't see nothing but that old camera.'
 ''Shoo, shoo, mother, the boys all right. It's probably just some of his funny business"
 If they had seen 'the boy" at that precise moment they would probably have been more anxious than they ware about him.

THE WHITE FAwN.

One day I, a farmer in Shirkshire
district of Conway, Massachusetts,,
was working on my meadow and saw
q doe and fawn not more than two
or three days old not far away I
went up to them, when the doe be-
came frightened and fed to the
woods, leaving the fawn in the soft
mud. It did not seem frightened, so
picked it up and took it to my home
and afterward to Shelourne Falls,
where had 1t photographed with my
two little daughters. On returning
home, I told the children that the
fawn must return to its home also.
So took it back to the meadow.
where it was soon Joined by the doe.
It was beautiful little animal, about
the size of little lamb, and its back
was covered with rows of white spots.

FELINE FISHERS.

Judging from my experience, cats.
when living near water, are gener-
ally fond OF fishing. have personal
ly known three feline fishers. One
was mere acquaintance and used to
fish in a trout stream. The other
two lived with us and during the
summer months used to fish in the
lake nearly every evening. They
would crouch on the shore and sud-
denly jump into an advancing wave
let, very frequently bringing out a
small fish. When they had kittens,
/ have sometimes seen them bring
up to the house three fish in the
space of an hour.

In Westmorland. close to stream.
that was a regular and accomplished
fisher. She was a half Persian. Her
daughter belongs to friends OF mines
and have myself seen this latter
watching the goldfish in the chill
dren's aquarium, which at that time
was open at the top and on broad
window seat. Puss put in one paw
and stirred the water violently, then
sat down to watch with apparent sat-
isfaction the terror of the fish. which
she could not on that occasion reach.
Once the family found she had caught
one and killed a second, so the aqua
rum was afterward always covered
by wire or net. One of this cats
kittens belonged to me and was for
her short life of under year very
dependent on human companionship.
She came up to my bedroom frequent
ly the first thing in the morning and
always took great interest in the
wash-hand basin, from which she
would fish out the sponge or soap,
and liked to have her paw in the
water. She had tc be kept out of the
bathroom, so more than once she de-
liberately jumped into the bath when
1t had in it q depth Of two or three
inches of water. e this daughter
and granddaughter of the original
fisher had lived near water, think
the fishing instinct would have de-
veloped, as the three generations all;
showed a fondness for this element,
which cats, as a rule, are. supposed
to ayoid.-London Spectator.

SAMMY.

Sammy belongs to the black and

handsome dog nor a very ugly one.
The only thing that admire about
him is his large, browE eyes. He Is
very affectionate.
He showed his affection very plain
ly for our cat, called Dot They of
ten eat together out of the same dish.
Then came a time for several days
when Dot did not show up. Sammy
was much worried. At last We re-
lieyed his anxiety by bringing him to
Dot, and, to his surprise, there were
three tiny kittens the exact image OF
their mother. But, sad to relate, she
deserted her babies. she had no
mother. love In her heart. We coaxed
her and tried all sorts Of ways, but all
in vain. One died the day after its
birth, and the other followed few
days later. Then there was only one
baby kitten left. We tried hard to
keep that one. We warmed milk and
fed it by spoon. But one morning
we found that one had also died. We
buried them together.
Every since Sammy nas shown a
great dislike for his former friend.
They now pass each other with
scarcely look. Sammy can beg. but
he does it so awkwardIy that 1t makes
you laugh. Instead of dropping his
paws down like other dogs, he sticks
them above his head and stalks
around as dignified as possible under
the circumstances.-Edna Thornton,
