In a garden dog was eating a piece
of meat in the presence Of four covet-
Gus crows. They evidently said great
deal to one another on the subject, and
now and then one Of them tried to pull
the meat away from the dog, which
he naturally resented. At last big,
strong crow succeeded in tearing on
piece, with which he returned to the
tree where the others congregated. A
long powwow now ensued. which end
ed in all four crows flying down to the
dog, the leading crow dexterously drop
ping the small piece Of meat within
reach Of bis mouth. The dog immedi-
ately snapped at 1t, unwisely letting go
the big piece. which was seized by two
crows and carried to the tree, where 1t
was devoured with much futtering
and hilarity, while the cheated dog
walked away with every appearance
of discomfiture.-St. Louis Globe Dem

A Notorious EnaIIsh spsndthrlft.


Among the customers at Longs, the
famous hotel I'm Bond street, was the
last Marquis Of Hastings, the most
notorious Of mid Victorian spendthrifts.
Hastings, according to one who knew
him well. "gambled so that not even
the Bank OF England, backed by the
Rothschilds, with the mines of the
Transvaal as additional supports, could
have withstood the strain"
Yet even he protested at Longs when
charged Is. Cd. for a whisky and soda.
The proprietor declared that this had
always been the charge. About time
It was altered, them" retorted the mar
Quis. Just before his death Hastings
remarked to a friend: I've made a
pretty hash Of my life. About all the
good I've ever done was to bring down
the price of whisky and soda at
Longs. "-London Express.

In the days when the buffalo was
found In vast herds on the western
plains there were indians who. while
Hiding at a gallop. could send an arrow
through buffaIo's body. Remarkable
as this archery was, yet 1t did not
equal that reached by the archers OF
ancient times. It Ia Of record that the
MacAaes Of Gairlock, Scotland, were
such skillful archers that they could
htt a man at the distance Of 300 yards.
In 1904 the Turkish ambassador at
Loudon shot an arrow, in a field near
that capital, AIS yards against the
wind and 1872 yards with the wind.
The secretary Of the ambassador, on
hearing the expressions of surprise
from the English gentlemen present,
said the sultan had shot 800 yards.
This was the greatest performance Of
modern days, but a pillar, standing
on q plain near Constantinople, record
ed shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir
Robert Ainslie, British ambassador to
the sublime port. records that in 1898
ho was present when the sultan shot
an arrow ora yardS.-New York Press
