NOT A CASE OF ASSAULT
Act That Surprised EngIiah Conere-
cation for the Moment Was Quite
Easily Explained.

Rev j. M Bacon, in his book Of rem
lniscences, Records of an Aeronaut,"
tells the story Of an unusual scene
connected with a certain church which
Is distinctly amusing He says
The corner seat of prominent
pew was invariably occupied by the
principal farmer OF the place, who
was likewise church warden Imme-
diately behind him sat his brother
a burly, athletic man, whom few
would have cared to stand up to. still
less to be knocked down by. 1t was
surprising, therefore, to say the least,
to see this powerful fellow, during
ono mornings services. just as tho con-
grogation rose for hymn. strike his
brother, without apparent provocation
heavy blow in the back
Tho brother did not resent tho
assault in the least-indced, If his ex-
preston indicated any emotion, 1t was
rather that of satisfaction and tri-
umph
"Of course, after the service an ex-
PLANTATION OF the young yeomans eX-
traordinary conduct was asked for and
easily obtained, The victim of the
blow put the whole case in nutshell.

friends He was speaking of another
neighbor who has failinEs like n lot

fairly successful. His talents are few
and he isn't gifted with any more in,
dustry than he should be. but he Is
counted rs one up well along toward
the head of the procession in town
affairs, He liked to make new friends,
but he never saw prospect good
enough to cause him to trade an old
friend for the prospect. He thinks
when YOU have n true friend YOU have

trade worth considering. He has been
pulled out of the miro several times
because he refused to trade horses
in the middle OF the stream. When
he is sick the boys call ON him and
ask II there isn't something they can
do. When he is in trouble he gets

Didn't Know How He Got Answer.

The late p. d. Armour was a rare
example Of self-made man. An old
employee of his is responsible for the
following story. After a caller had
left his office one day Mr.. Armour
turned to one of his associates and
said:
Il worked with that man in a cross
roads store in New York state. A GUS
toner came in. l remember, and want
ed five and six-eighths yards of muslin
that was worth six and three-eighths
cents per yard. | measured up the
goods wrapped it and handed the
package over the counter
How much is it?" asked the Gus
tomer-and told him without hesita-
ton. A moment later the proprietor
came over to me and asked me how
had figured it out.
Il didn't know then, and l am frank
to confess that l don't know now; but
| had the answer for that customer
right on the tip of my tongue"

Swiss Furs.

Although Switzerland has a COM
paratively important fur industry, the
silverblack fox is not at present reared
in captivity in the republic 1t is the
intention, however, to start breeding
in some of the northern valleys.
About year ago a skunk farm was
started near Lucerne, but no pelts

to leave the animals undisturbed I'M
I'll they become more thoroughly accli-
mated. The owners of this skunk
farm also contemplate obtaining some
fishers from Maine. as they have
found that in the canton Nidwaldon

Fishers, they believe, do we'll where
ever the marten is found. This COM

Swiss association of furriers with
