Carlisle Anderson pushed his way
through the crowd and picked up the
dog. The little creature had been run
over by a passing automobile, and a
crowd had gathered, but NO one had
offered to help the animal in its suf-
fering. Carlisle was very big, and the
onlookers seemed to give way to him
without argument. One man suggest
ed that the dog might bite.
"Poor little bruter unused Carlisle as
he started to the corner drug store
with the dog in his arms. A clerk tel
ephoned for the animal ambulance.
and Carlisle still patted the dog.
The frightened animal looked up at
him and, failing to recognize the
friendly face, snapped at him. Car
Isle drew back quickly, but not until
the dog had bitten his hand. A cry
made him turn quickly.

Into a waiting taxicab he tumbled,

A wealthy Riverina squatter, now
departed, as he used to phrase 1t, ito

as much for his Attic wit as for his
parsimony. He also suffered very
badly and helped along his halting ut

"D'ye see? Dye see?" His niggardly
traits gained him widespre ld local un-
popularity and the bitter enmity of
sundowners, who were always vigor-
ously refused rations at his stations.
Emarting under this unusual inhos-
pitality, some disappointed swaggerers
once set fire to one of the squatter's
wool sheds and then wrote upon a
gate: We've well burnt down your
wool shed. Dye seer Dye seer

catehIno Tartar.

A Pennsylvania trout fisherman had
an adventure which is a warning to
thoughtless persons. He was In his
boat, casting his flies, when he saw
something swimming across the creek
several rods up stream. He thought
1t was a mink, but when 1t got within
couple Of yards he saw it was 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 two dollar
bounty on the animal, but as the b D.
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 will never again fish for
a wildcat

Electricity and MaanstIsm.

As to what electricity and magnetism
are Tin themselves" that Is to say, as
to their real nature-nothing Is known.
They are absolute mysteries, battling
the acutest research into their inner
most secrets. But about their modes
of action it Is possible to say some
thing definite. For example, electricity
appears to depend for its action upon
a medium, while magnetism, like gray
ity, acts at distance and by means of
no visible go-between. Place two mag
nets in vacuo or even place solid
plate of glass or metal or wood be-
tween the magnets and we still find
that their mutual action depends sole
" on their relative position and Is not
perceptibly modified by placing any
substance between them unless that
substance happens to be one Of tn
magnetic metals-New York American

sour MILK Cow.

The woman was new to the country
and her host took great pains to ex-
plain to her whatever she didn't un-
derstand about the farm. He had little
regard for the truth, this farmer; he
delighted to test her gullibility to the
utmost.
The cows seemed to interest her
more than any other domestic animal
One Of the cows had lost her tail
somehow, and this fact led the woman
to ask why it was.
"That's the sour milk cow" the farm
err explained, with straight face.
'We always tut the tail off one COW
in the herd so as to get sour milk
fresh every day"
The woman looked her doubt.
"It's perfectly true" the farmer in
sisted. "You see, when the cows tail
is gone the sun shines continually on
the cows udder, and the constant heat
sours the max"
But the woman still doubted. New
