'T always thought homing pigeon would go straight home" said man who kept his country house open TOT the winter week-ends. But l was up at my place while ago and the gar dener told me about curious excep- ton to the rule. He was out in the barn one day when in flew a pigeon through the open door. After 1t had flown from one post to another, ne approached it gently and caught IL. Then the bird was seen to pc homer. with a gilt band on one leg and two silver ones on the other. AS it was toward night, the gardener thought it would be only humane to take 1t indoors and release it the next day after breakfast But in the morn

The other day, when the elevator service in the Standard Oil building, at 26 Broadway, New York, gave out, the newspapers had considerable amusement over the fact that the mil ionaire tenants of that building had Ito walk from two to fourteen flights of stairs to get to their offices. In this connection an amusing story is told about Henry M Flagler, one of the oldest of the Standard Oil pioneers. While approaching the age of S1, he IS
 strong and stalwart, paying regular attention to his large business inter ests, both In New York and In Florida. His office is on the twelfth floor of the Standard oil building, and it was thought that he would not care to do what many younger man would shrink from, and so a porter was sent to meet him at the door and advise him to establish his office temporar- fly on lower floor, as the elevators

tgroubled dreams to hear voices out aside the window.
 Why, Clara J., what on earth is the ,Eaatter?" Uncle Peter was saying; you look paler than John did when ne came home. Are you ill? Whats fhe matter, Martha? You are trem- Mling all over. How d'you do, Miss Gray! Sit down, won't you?"
 Where is John?" I heard Clara J. xxss in the most mournful of tones.
 Before any one could answer Alice sgSTay's voice fioated in: Oh I've fzSeen telling them all the way out here mEhat there's really nothing to be so sasreadfully worried about. Why, I'm ss5ure Clara J. simply couldn't help it sshsn she saw"

 Then we had glorifcation for sure, and Murf succeeded in getting his ancient enemy so full of Bourbon that finally loving hands had to lead Uncle Peter out to the pump and hand him the deluge in order to keep him from telling all the family secrets.

ran for about 20 rods and then went into maple clump that was nearly as bad as the alder and willow brush we had crawied through early in the morning. Neil lost his hat. Then s limb of tree sprang back and struck my forehead, knocking me into al woodchuck's den When I came tc. there was MT. Goat sitting a few yards from me, chattering as if had plun. dered his orchard I took out my Colt revolver and settled his hash, as thought At the crack of the weapon Neil came hurriedly up to see what was happening, and fell off log he was climbing over, and skinned his elbow on rock. In the meantime the goat hobbled up the mountainside and lay down upon a ledge of rock about 200 yards above uss The way we went up that rock slide on all fours would surprise a Siwash. We got up within about 25 yards of the rock and MT. Goat stuck his head over the ledge as much as to ask where we came from.
 Shoot him." yelled Nell.
 "Shoot nothing" said l, T cant shoot a flock of balloons-shoot him yourself"
 At this the goat thought it was nls move and hobbled off the rock, pass ing Neil within about six feet. Neil grabbed a handful of wool and lost his hold. He then made another lunge and stubbed his foot and fell flat, ana as he fell chanced to grab the goats hind leg. He was dragged for aDou. 20 feet, yelling for help at the top ol his voice. Finally the goat fell dowA and Neil got up, still hanging on 10 the leg. He managed to get ms re volver out, but the goat klcKed anu floundered so that he could not han' dle both.
 By this time I had got to nm anu he gave me the goats leg to hold. anu then stepped in front of the goat .o get a shot at his head.

guide and drive the other three goats up the canon. Ross joined Neil and Bill on the edge of the thicket and together they began to climb small ridge in front of them. By love-" said Bill, those fellows are going right into goat if they don't look out, and none of them seem to see him.
 Bang! Bang! Crack! Ping! Now they've done it." said Bill. Look at him go; the rocks are full of them. Great Heavens! what a mess they have stirred up. Even that goat is going; they have only crippled him. Now, look at him hiding behind that rock"
 Yes" said I, "but Ross sees him; he has a bead on him now. Bang! He has got him."
 Ross laid down his gun, took out his knife and, on reaching the goat, at tempted to take hold of horn to lift up Mir Goats head and bleed him, when his quarry made leap off the rock they were on and bounded eilOuAu tdS Olacl SiuS Ol ClC CilA cto though he had just woke up.
 Haven't those blamed fools got that goat killed yet?" said Bill. Look at him go; he'll get away sure"
 The goat was making across the slide where we had seen them the night before and was headed for a thick patch of timber.
 Bang! Bang!
 Well, they've got him down again. ? said L q guess they have got him this time, so we might as we'll go back to camp"
 well, don't be in hurry" said Bill, we're not sure yet. Where are they now? Where is the goat? That's what's bothering me-"
 By Jingo," said I; there he is, heading this way"
 We were so excited at the prospect of the others losing the goat that un- der simultaneous impulse we both climbed down the precipice into the canon below, and headed for the clump of brush into which we had seen the goat disappear. Here is where our troubles began, for we had to try our hand at climbing up steep rock slide for nearly half mile. We

did you take a flying leap out of the stand?"
 No, but Bunch told me it would be simply criminal if I didn't bet on my namesake, so when Aunt Martha wasn't looking I pulled a bill hastily from my purse and told him to bet it on Peaches to win"
 Say! I had grin on my face the size ot barn door.
 After Bunch had gone I looked in my purse and found I had given him the wrong bill I meant to give him s10. but by mistake I gave him the hundred dollars you gave me to buy that summer suit"
 And Bunch played a hundred dollars for you on Peaches ?" gasped.
 "Ah-huh!" she nodded
 At 100 to l." l shrieked.
 q don't know what it was at," she answered through her tears; for after I realized what had done I nearly tainted. I was so frightened couldn't even watch the race. When it was over, Bunch screamed like an Indian and rushed away. Presently he came back and threw bundle of bills in my lap and I stuffed them in Aunt Martha's purse, and-and- cried so they had to take me home. Can you ever forgive me, John?"
 Forgive you! Why, say! you are the most thoroughly forgiven girl that ever brought home money to a lazy husband. A hundred dollars on Peaches at a 100 to 1--well, say. Where's Aunt Martha? That's too much money for reckless old lady to lug around-lock all the gates!"
 Then and there I 'fessed up every thing from Alpha to Omaha, and I wish you could have seen the expres- sion on Clara Us face when came to the finish and told her that Peaches" was our horse!
 She forgave me and forgave her, and then we both forgave each other, and wound up by dancing around the room and kicking the meaning out of all the furniture.
 When presently we strolled out on the lawn we found Bunch there, and Alice broke away long enough to say: Didn't tell you he'd forgive youp'
 Why, Alice" I answered, for s1o.000 I'd open factory and turn out forgivenesses by the barrel"
 Presently 1t was noised around the household that I owned the colt which

had won swell race ahd the change of sentiment in .avor of horses was go sudden that the grass got frightened and stopped growing.
 Uncle Peter offered to back me for any amount of money and said that he was delighted to know we had a horse in the family that was such a credit to us.
 After Dinner Clara J. and I strolled down to the gate to talk matters over, and presently Tacks yelled at us: Say, don't lean too heavy on that gate, 'ause I took the hinges off to- day sos I could get through quicker If that crazy man come along!"
 At that very moment who should come plodding up to the gate but Murf and the hero of the day, Spudsi
