Wouldn't Be Fooled Again.

A shepherd once, to prove the quick
ness Of his dog, which was lying be-
fore the fire in the house where we
were talking, said to me in the middle
Of a sentence concerning something
else, I'm thinking, sir. the cow is in
the potatoes
Though be purposely laid no stress
on these words and said them in a
quiet. unconcerned tone Of voice, the
dog, which appeared to be asleep, imme-
diately jumped up and, leaping through
the open window, scrambled up to the
turf roof of the house, from which he
could see the potato field. He then,
not seeing the COW there, ran and look
ed into the barn where she was and.
finding that all was right came back
to the house.
After a short time the shepherd said
the same words again, and the dog re-
peated hia lookout, but OF the false
alarm being the third time given the
dog got up and, wagging his l9il, look
ed his master in the face with 81 com
ical an expression of Interrogation that
he could not help laughing aloud at
him, on which. with a slight growl, he
laid himself down in his warm corner
With an offended air, as If determined
not to be made fool of again.-Lon-
don Standard.

man who In days gone by had sat un.

Moroccan BED rana.

Official correspondence in Morocco Is
couched in a very doWery and fam
boyant style. 1t is interspersed with
a variety of meaningless adulatory
phrases that tend to confound the real
meaning of the epistle. For example,
an order to the minister of finance
to contract loan begins thus:
'fIn our present letter God increase
his power and make the glorious sun
and his moon glitter in the armament
of his felicity we have authorized our
incorruptible servant there follows
nance to contract in the name and on
the behoof of the treasury (heaven FIJI
it loan of -" etc.
Considering that the "incorruptible
servant Is Itching as much as he pos
sible can from the treasury it is GER
tainly necessary to pray that Heaven
FL it."-London Graphic.

The Great visoeo.

Nidoeq, the great French detectige.
was born in Aras in 1T75. He Logan
life as baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was a notorious thief.
and after many disgraceful adventures
he enlisted in the army Ia 1896 he re-
turned to Paris with some money.
which, however, he soon squandered.
Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight.
years hard labor for forgery. but re-
peatedly escaped, and in 1908 he be-
came connected with the Paris police
as a detective. His previous career
enabled him to render important sery-
ices, and he was appointed chief of the
safety brigade, chiefly composed of re-
prieved convicts, which purged Paris
of the many dangerous classes. In
1918 he received a full pardon, and his
connection with this service lasted un-
til about 1898, when he settled at st.
Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon
after the revolution of 1880 he became
political detective, but with little
success. In 1913 he was again en-
ployed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless in 1857.

SAFEGUARD ON ANIMAL BouNrIEs
Description of Wolves and Foxes Printed
on Certificates

For the purpose of helping towns
and county officers in determining
whether animal bounty claims sub
mitted to them are genuine, Secretary
of State ]. A. Frear has caused to be
printed on bounty certificates scienti-
fic description of wolves and foxes.
The descriptions are regarded as so
simple and so clear that there will be
little room for fraud in the future.
The size, color and distinctive marks
Of the animal are given and the officers
are warned not to issue certificates en-
titling claimants to bounties unless
they are convinced that the animals
are what they are represented to be.
The bounty for a grown wolf is
twenty dollars and for cub sixteen
dollars, the couuty paying half and the
state the other half. Last year the
state paid S24, 0(0 in bounty claims and
the different counties an equal amount.
Chef Clerk Louis B. Nagler, of the
secretary of state department, who
audits the bounty claims. believes the
new certificate will considerably reduce
the amount of money paid out

Human Heart as a Power Engine.

A great physician once remarked
that, despite its complexity, there was
no organ of the body reader to adapt
itself TO circumstances or more cape,
bic of repaying ordinary care than the
heart. THIS is very true. and an ap-
probation Of that fact should cause us
all the more carefully to follow the
wise mans advice and to keep our
heart with all diligence. When we
have regard to the tremendous work
the heart accomplishes we might well
with Wesley say, strange that harp
of thousand strings should keep in
tune so long" Estimated in scientific
fashion. mans heart in twenty-four
hours performs an amount of work
which If represented by the energy de
manded for big lit would raise 100

calculation can be accurately deter.

ed in one heat or cycle OF movement

Napoleon made Eugene regent in his

fer the honor upon the great artist.
Napoleon laughed on hearing his wife's
confession. but the act stood
