Rison,s Revenge.

An old Indian named Neyharper,
who lived in that part OF Oklahoma
that used tO be called the Indian Ter
ritory. used to tell his white friends
this story of the strange but terrible
revenge that bison once took on the
hunter who had wounded it in the
chase:
"When I was a boy most Of our food
was brought in by the buffalo hunters.
Killing these large beasts was hard
and dangerous work, but it was very
exciting. Once the hunters went out
after a herd, each riding his best pony.
One, who had attacked a large bull,
failed TO strike a vital part with his
arrows, and pursued the beast across
the prairie.
Suddenly in the mad race hunter
and prey came to buffalo path that
had been washed down by the heavy
rains till It was two or three feet deep.
The horse stumbled, threw the man
into the ditch, and then dashed on.
leaving him helpless. The buffalo
saw the accident, turned. and tried
desperately TO gore the hunter. But
the ditch was too narrow, and so the
buffalo reached down aud with Its long
tongue began to lick the mans bare
back. Every stroke OF that rough.
tongue tore the skin and flesh palm
fully. The Indian could only bear II.
for II he tried to escape he would
meet death at the horns of the en-
ragged beast. Before his comparisons
found him and killed the buffalo, it
had licked the flesh from his back
down to the bone. and the poor man
bore the scars OF that terrible revenge
to his graye.-Youth's Companion.

MARRIED MANS MANY DUTIES
Some Things II Would Be Well for
the Youth Who Is Contemplating
Mstrinony to Consider.

In an article entitled "How I Made
a Good Husband of My Son." the
writer lays down some rules for
course of domestic training for bache-
Tors who are thinking Of being mar.
ried, the WOman's Home Companion
states.
Besides heating the house" he says,
"a man should have n thorough theO-
retical and simple practical knowl-
edge of plumbing. so he can be beyond
the mercy of an ignorant or dishonest
plumber. The upkeep of all the furni-
ture is your province; you should be
able to replace a cnster automatically,
or in your sleep pat on the pull of n
bureau drawer.
"Of course he will not call in a
painter when floors or woodwork need
painting or man to replace panes
of glass or put up shelves. or any OF
the smaller tinkering around the house,
any more than his wife should hire a
woman to darn the stockings or do
the small mending. .,
zone of the most important duties,
Is to see that each window and door
is perfectly screened. He should keep
all the shades in proper order and see
that the windows work easily and
smoothly, also keep. the locks of all
the doors in perfect order. He should
have a general knowledge of build
ing materials, so he will be able to
advise his carpenter. Naturally, too.
he will keep the knives ia proper con-
dition, and no young man should wait
until he is married to learn to carve"

They were standing on busy cor

spend it."
