tion seized the goat undid its bell tied it round
his own neck, and commenced to push his way
on all fours through the bushes. tinkling the bell
and rustling among them he went. Nearer
and nearer the gendarmes he came. but he just
went boldly In the dark acting the goat to
such good purpose that the unsuspecting SEN
tinels merely thought that an old goat was eating
its way along among the bushes in the erratic
way goats have. So Bellacosca passed right
through the guarding gendarmes and clean away.
When morning dawned the certain capture was
not effected and Bellacoscia was free TO give
more trouble In the future. Another time ne
was flying from capture. the gendarmes close on
his heels when he found the way blocked by
river in flood and escape seemed Impossible.
Every minute his pursuers were gaining. he
could not cross. and to go back meant certain
capture. Again his wits saved him. He scram-
bled down to the marshy banks of the river where
there were some dark, reedy pools. cut a hollow
reed put one end in his mouth. and sank himseif
down into the Shiny black water till ne was
completely covered with only the broken end
of the reed projecting into the air. and through
this he breathed In comfort The gendarmes
came rushing down to the river. where mo-
ment before they had seen the fugitive. but now.
when they reached the place. Bellacoscia was
gone-clean Vanished. as If he had been spirited
away and they went back to report that the
devil had certainly got him for he had undoubt-
edly been there, he had never gone away. and he
certainly not there now!
Towards evening reached Evisa, a happy
little village rejoicing in grand position. and
well worth a visit. II 1t were only to see the
view looking down the gorge to the Gulf OF Porto.
that alone would be worth the journey. Just be-
fore the forest OF Atone commences one should
leave the road and scramble across field to q
projecting mass of rocks. for there can be seen
a sight that must equal many of the finest pros
poets in the world for majestic beauty. An I'm.
mense gorge enclosed by magnificently shaped
mountains extends below crowned at the end by
that king of them all. Cappo d'Orto and away
beyond lies the blue all hazy and soft In the
distance. While standing on the rocky projection
overlooking this impressive scene, sense Of
lttleness comes over the beholder. and one -eels
almost like an intruder in this solitary spot.
Where silent Nature reigns alone
Majestic, on her craggy throne.

The Minister'S Usefulness.

Among the members of fashiona-
Bile country club of Washington are a
doctor and a minister, who delight in
the exchange of repartee touching
their respective professions.
AS they met one day, the minister
observed that he was going to read
to old Cunningham" adding las he
was aware that the old man was a pa
tient Of his friend. the doctorl. "1s he
much worse?"
With the gravest OF expressions,
the physician replied:
He needs your help more than
mine"
Off his guard. the minister exclaim-
ed anxiously: Poor fellow! is 1t as
bad as that?"
"Yes. he is suffering from in
somnia."

The Frogs and the Bulls

!. A frog one day sitting at the edge
Of pond, saw two bulls fighting in q
meadow. He cried to his companion:
Look at that dreadful fight! What
will become of us?..
DO not frighten YOURSELF" replied
the other. How can their quarrels
affect us? They are quite different
from us in every way"
Perhaps" said the first frog. "their
life is different from ours; but. as one
of them will certainly get the better
OF the other. he who is beaten will
take refuge here in the marshes and
perhaps tread upon some of us. You
see, therefore. We are more concerned
In their quarrel than you think
When the rich quarrel the poor are
usually the greatest sufferers.

DEAR SIR:-Please allow me to
thank you for your kind criticism on
my article in thelast issue of your
paper. Itwas my intention when
/ laid the pen aside to send an
other on the same subject for your
columns, and now, after your en-
dorsement, hesitate not to assay.
The former article would have con-
tanned this also, but for fear OF
being rejected by your readers be-
cause of its length. In your COM
ment you well say that the refining
influence of our schools is worth
much more than the money they
bring. More than three thousand
years ago Moses wrote for his peo
pie that '.Man does not sTfve Py
bread alone, but by every VOID
that proceedeth out oftbe mouth
of Jehovah" and He who was to be
a "prophet like unto Moses, and,
"who spake as never man spoke" "
in addition to endorsing this senti-
ment added ga mans life consist
eth not in abundance of the things
which he possesseth," it would
be dealing in platitudes and con-
suming space unnecessilv to call
attention to the many arguments
of the past, and the spirit Of the
present, in the advocacy of higher
education. Ihe millions of dollars
expended in building and equip.
menrs and the pinching sacrifices
made by parents should be argu-
ments enough for the most sordid.
AS the brain and character consti-
tute the real man and not the a.
voirdupoise, so in like proportion
is the man of value to state and
society. The story is told of Alex
ander Il. Stevens, Vice-President
of the Confederate states, and who
weighed scarcelYa a hundred pounds,
that upon one occasion he was
twitted by rival with his diminu'
tive size, and the statement thai
he could swallow him whole, tc
