COLLIE DOG SAVES BOYS
Charges Hungry Coyotes and Prevents
Death Of Young Master, But 10
Fatally Hurt.

Trinidad. Colo.-Fghting to the
death, a Scotch collie dog saved the
lives of his two masters, Louis and
Samuel Salvorno, ten and twelve years
old, respectively, who were attacked
by three hunger-crazed coyotes on the
snow-clad plains, ten miles southwest
of here.
The boys were badly bitten by the
infuriated beasts and their clothes
were practically torn to ribbons. The
dog was so badly lacerated it is dying.
The children had been sent to an
uncle's ranch to get provisions. Half
way over the train they were attacked
by the coyotes. The collie charged
the beasts. killing two and pursuing
the third as 1t sneaked away. The
dog is terribly torn, and it is feared
he will not survive.

The experiments, which are to be on

Shopping Instinct,


A rural postmaster tells this story
of one of the patrons of his office, a
boy of thrifty, not to say penurious,
stock. When the lad comes into the
postoffice he will thrust his wizened
face up close to the window and, in
his slow, Yankee drawl, inquire most
earnestly:
'Hev ye got any postal cards?"
."Yes," the postmaster replies.
"Haow much be they t'day?"
"A cent apiece"
Then the boy, screwing up his eyes
in the intensity of his thought over
the question he has to decide, always
stops for a while to weigh the con-
sequences. Finally he will reply SOL
emnly:
wal, I'll take one.-Youth's Com

FINGER REPLACES MANS NOSE
Unique Grating Experiment Gives
Satisfaction to New Yorker on
Whom II Was Tried.

New York.-Doctors at the Academy
of Medicine have agreed that in a
crowd a finger can pass for a nose
without detection. A man on whom
the experiment was tried of grating
the third finger OF his left hand on to
the place where his real nose had
been declared himself as pretty well
satisfied with the substitute.
The new member has been constantly
massaged recently until it is assuming
true nasal shape, but it cannot be
bored through to let breath in.
As now grown there is no trace of
the nail, and the doctors are speculat-
ing as to whether the possibility of
one growing at the tip of the finger
made nose has been avoided.

The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great a mistake as she who smiles
too little, for though she may be only
actuated by an honest desire to
please, she lays herself open to the
charge of insincerity. A smile can
transform plain face into loveliness.

NOVEL USE FOR AN ANT-HEAP
Surveyors In the Congo Convert Hill
Built by Insects Into a Look
Out station.

Cape Town, Africa.-Among the
most destructive of African insects
are the white ants, which, although
well under an inch in length, do un-
told damage even in single night.
Nothing is safe from attack, with the
exception of iron and steel, though
curiously enough the ants deyour only
that portion of an object which is not
exposed to the air. They will eat
away the -soles of boots, leaving the
uppers standing in their place.
In some parts, particularly in the
Congo, the ant-heaps convert an other
wise fat country into hilly one.
Beautiful ferns and tropical flowers
cover these Ant-heaps. That they can
