Hold Commanding Position.

A countryman was in charge Of a
couple Of live hares. which he was
conveying by rail. He had to change
at station and walt some time.
To pass the time he took the basket
in which the hares were confined out
side the station and put 1t down In
the road. The lid had been tied
down loosely, and one of the sarcs
managed to get out.
The man rushed after it, but all to
no purpose; and just as he got back
the other hare jumped out and ran
away in the opposite direction.
The countryman made no attempt
to follow, but, pointing first one way
and then the other, said: DO you
go there and do you go there If you
like. I've got the tickets"

Sleeps Important place in world

One man alone could not look after
whole flock, so the first shepherd
called In others, who lived in scattered
huts or In caves, far apart, to assist
him. offering in return share of the
wool and the meat that were now SO
easy to obtain. And so at the edge of
the pastures the first villages grew up.
Thanks, largely to sheep, human So
ciety came into being, and with 1t came
laws and customs for the benefit of
the little community.
The next tremendous step was the
discovery of how to spin wool into
yarn and weave yarn into cloth, which
paved the way for manufactures and
commerce.

you that he can throw you into loud
bursts of laughter and make you feel
the real Joy of living for an hour and

stories and witty sayings anything but
that which should be the true form
of clean and good and wholesome Am

tauqua men.
