Of New York, was d most successful

copy Of book.
There are two volumes of this,
said Mr.. Miller 1.-The other volume

escape you, for you know you have
nothing like this in Your library
What is the price?" asked the rail-
road king.

bookman.
."rhose are too valuable volumes for
my library" Mr.. Huntington ex-
claimed
Air. Miller went back to his place
and sent the books to Mr.. Hunting
tons house with a bill for $700. Next
day the railroad king sent for him.
why did you send me those books?''
he demanded sharply.
Because you bought them was
the bookman's calm reply.

lionaire
"Oh, yes. you did" answered Mr.
Miller. You'll remember perfectly
well when I tell you what you said.

Catching a Tartar.

4 Pennsylvania trout fisherman had
an adventure which is q warning to
thoughtless persons He was in his
boat, casting his flies, when he saw
something swimming across the creek
several rods up stream. Se thought
it was a mink, but when it got within
a couple Of yards he saw it was a wild
cat. Without stopping to think he cast
his line toward the animal and the
next instant regretted his hasty action.
The hook caught In the cats ears, and
It promptly turned and swan toward
the boat. He padded away, but the
cat overlook the boat and proceeded to
climb In. The fisherman knocked the
animal on the head with the paddle.
and the movement capsized the boat.
Then there was a fight in the water.
and the fisherman defended himself so
well with the paddle that he was able
to reach the shore. The wildcat fol-
lowed, but a few well directed blows
finished it. There was a two dollar
bounty on the animal, but as the fish
erman lost all his fishing tackle and
had his clothing badly torn he thinks
he had the worst Of the bargain. At
any rate, he viii never again fish for
q wildcat.

Books of Reference.

Newspaper editors like to answer
questions addressed to them by their
readers-if they are not too hard
and they deem themselves as arbiters
rather than as accessories to a mis-
6emeancr when they are appealed to
for information ''to decide bet" But
they wonder sometimes why certain
questions are put to them for arbitra-
ment when the answers are to be
found in one Of three very accessible
books-an almanac, q grammar and a
small dictionary.
These are books Of reference that
ought to be in every home library,
however small. We guess that they
are, but that they are sometimes dusty
with misuse or out of easy reach on a
top shelf. It IS well to have an al
manac, q dictionary or an atlas handy
when you are reading your newspaper.
By consulting them frequently the
reader will find his daily paper relates
bis early historical studies to present
events and makes his touch with the
world closer and more significant. Get
the habit-New Fork Mail.

a Sporting Psrson.

The inhibition Of a hunting rector
by his bishop reminds q correspondent
that the Rev. Jack Russell. the IA
nous west country sporting parson,
was once cited to appear before the
bishop Of Exeter to answer charges Of
neglecting his spiritual and parochial
duties, and he was also demonstrated
with for keeping AID following pack
Of hounds. The charges were proved
unfounded, and Russell refused to
give up the sport which he continued
to pursue almost to the day OF his
death in 1883, at the age Of eighty
eight. Besides being an Unsuitable
hunter, he was, as bis biographer
pithily remarks, "a stanch supporter
Of Deronshire wrestlers, an admirable
sparrer and an enthusiastic upholder
Of the virtues Of Devonshire cider and
cream" And in the pulpit he tried to
reform conduct rather than to ex-
pound doctrine and was stern. de-
nouncer Of bad language, strong
drink and 'tthe filthy habit Of smok-
ing."-St. James Gazette.

Cams Dry Humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain
David Gam was sent forward by
Henry V. to reconnoiter the French
army before the battle Of Agincourt
he found that the enemy outnumbered
the English by about five to one. His
report tc the king is historic:
There are enough to be killed,
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away"
This quaint forecast Of the result Of
the battle at once spread through the
camp, and doubtless every yeoman
archer Of the valiant company felt an
inch taller. We know that it was al
most literally justified by the event.
