The Wolves and tho Goat.

In feeding on the hillside one day
the Goat became careless and fell
among the rocks and sustained NOR
tai injuries. He lay there, gasping
and suffering, when two Wolves came
along, and the first cried out;
"Ah, what have we here? The Goat
has had bad fall"
"It looks like II, indeed" replied the
other, "but let us go slow about 1t
and make no mistake. 1t is my opin-
ion that he has broken 10th his hind
legs"
"And It is plain to me that he has
broken both his fore legs"
"You must see that am right, and
/ further declare that If we can get
the Goat home his life can be saved.
I won't warrant that his hind legs
will be as good as ever, but he will
be able to climb around fairly we'll"

At that moment the Goat recovered
consciousness, and, looking up at the
Wolves, he appealed to them to do
something for him.

filling follows the contour of the
tree; but the cement is not filled
flush with the outside bark Of the
tree, but is filed up to the line sepa-

Of wood, so that the new growth Of
wood will form calous around the
border Of the filled cavity and in
time the bark will roll over the
cement and cover It entirely, leaving
no trace Of the cement exposed.

Tho Ass and the Don.

The ASS and the Dog had long been
jealous of each other, and, finding
themselves in company one day, the
former began:
"Did you hear our master pralsing
me today for the heavy load drew up
the long hill?"
"Yes, | heard him say word or
two, but you ought to have been
around last night when l caught a
rabbit l was really embarrassed by
the praise bestowed"
"But you can't draw even an empty
cart"
"And you can't tell a tramp from
the family doctor"
II am twice the size you are"
"But l can run twice as fast as you
can"
"Say, now," remarked the ASS,
"what would the master do without
me on market day?"
ooh, come off," replied the Dog
"Who stays at home and guards the
farm while he is gone to town?"
"You know I drove the wolf away
once"
"But what is that compared to the
two thieves 1 chased for half miller
"oh WELL this thing can be easily
settled. ! can bray louder and longer
than you can bark"
81 deny It, Come on and see."
Thereupon the ASS began braylng
and the Dog barking, and the uproaI
soon became hldeous. After 1t had
continued for few minutes the mas
ter appeared with a club and lait
about him with heavy and impartial
hand.
"Alasv cried the Donkey as he wine
ed under the blows. "You have taught
me to believe that you appreciated
me-"
"And I was under the belief that
you dotted on me-" added the Dog.
"Know ye," replied the master as he
paused for breath, that while an Ass
or Dog In his place is Joy forever
he has but to step out Of 1t to render
himself a nuisance"

SAVING Aaed Trees..

The modern method of treatment
for saving old trees ready to fall
apart from decay is by the use OF
braces and cement. The decayed
part is gouged off, leaving but little
more than she'll of sap wood and
bark. Within the cavity steel braces
are inserted and bolted in place Toe
cavity Is then wired, the wire being
stretched from nails driven into the
wood and serving as reinforcements
for the cement. Then the cavity is
filled with moist cement, filling the
entire space II the opening is
large one and exposed to rain Il Is
covered with a strip Of zinc. but
usually coat of fine finishing ce-
ment at the entrance of the cavity is
sufficient 1t is painted or stained
the color of the bark so that the work
OF repairing is hardly noticed This
plan saves for many years trees
ready to fall to pieces at the first
storm, In course of time more decay
will occur around the cement, but the
framework and braces will hold up
the she'll as long as any life is left.
II you need thin lining for a
dress and do not care to have
heavy one, make a lining of white
net It is substantial anc serves
nicely as lining for silk and wooden

Their Virtues--Moral For a Good

copyright, 1908, by T. G. McClurel
~ NE day at high noon the peas
ant discovered an owl perch
ed in a tree and asked him
whether a small bird sitting
directly toward the sun was a bluebird
or a chickadee. The owl looked and
bllnked and looked again and finally
admitted that he couldn't be sure.
Thereupon the peasant began making
fun of his vision and telling him that
he was no good and ended up by ex-
pressing his astonlshment that nature
should have wasted so much material
The owl felt humbled and humiliated,
but bided bis time until darkness
came. Then he paid visit to the
PEASANTS cottage and called him out
ard said:
'In flying around l have discovered
a lost purse. Come with me and re
cover It."
The two proceeded along the high
way for half a mile, and then the owl
stopped and said:
Behold the purse"
"But whereT asked the peasant.
"0nly two or three yards from your
feet"
"But It might as well be mile
away. 1t is so dark that cannot see"
Then the owl began to make fun of
the mans vision and ended up by say
ing that nature must have been in a
funny mood when she created n man
that couldn't see i'm the darkness.
