: THE MAN EATER f
"The man eater is madP
I looked at the tall T?xan appre
hensively.
?Are yon certauir I*8|?ed.
?I know, it* I ha4 my, suspicions
vestcrday, ai?P now there is no
doabtofit." \^
This was serions. The man eat
er was the largest and. most fero
cious bloodhound in Texas. It was
hon' enough to control him at any
time but mad! I shuddered at the
thought. \
My week's visit at the Bolton
xancli had satisfidd me that my host
Teally cared for only two things in
the world?bis daughters and tho
truin eater.
** Where is Miss Sallie?" I in
quired anxiously.
"Oh, that's all right," replied Bol
ton carelessly. ''Su?lie took her
pony and went for a ride -an hour
ago* and the hound is safe ?uough.
I took himjby the collar just now
and locked him up where he won't
get at anybody. But it breaks mo
up, old fellow. I wouldn't lose him
for anything."
My interest began to weaken.
Miss Sallie was safe, and the dog
was locked up. What was a blood
hound to me? If the savage mon
ster died, so much the better.
I walked off to tho stable. A
ride over the prairie was not to be
missed on such a morning, and
there would be a chance of riding
back with Sallie. .
But I was doomed to disappoint
ment. My horse was lame. It did
not take long to convince me that
somebody had been riding him tho
night before.
Just then Pedro came inx sight.
The ugly little Mexican gave a start
when lie saw mo and looked away.
"You yellow rascal!" I shouted.
"You had my horse last night!"
"Xo, sonor."
"\"oii are lying!"
"Xo, by all the saints, senor."
'Then where were you at mid
night ?"
"I was attending to my business,"
snapped Pedro.
lie looked so viciously mean and
so impudent that I gave him a light
cut with my whip and told him to
get out of my sight. He muttered
something and slunk off. There was
j other animal that I cared to ride,
and I made up my mind to walk.
I had left the ranch several hun
dred yards behind me when I turned
and looked back. ? Even at^thst dis-^
tante I could plainly recognize Pe
dro. He *iVas walking around' a lit
tle cabin back of the kitchen and
was apparently peeping through tho
cracks.
"Looking at the man eater," I
said to myself. ^It is a good thing
the beast is locked up."
The bracing morning air and the
level prairie stretching out before
me for miles tempted me to take a
long walk. A long way off I could
see a hill, the only one in all that
flat country. Why not climB it and
see what was on the other side ? Per
haps Sallie was over there.
So I walked on with swinging
strides for a couple o* miles.
Suddenly I came to a dead halt.
''That sounds like the man eater's
bark !" T. exclaimed. Again I heard
it anu stopped a moment.
For an instant my muscles were
paralyzed. I was absolutely unable
to move.
A thousand horrible thoughts
rushed into^my mind.
If this mad bloodhound vas on.
my track my case was hopeleis. I
could not get back to the ranch.
There was not a tree in sight, and
the hill was still miles away.
What was to be done ?
I summoned all my strength and
made a run at the top of my speed.
I kept on as long as I could and
then paused to rest and listen.
The man eater was coming m
way, bv?t not much faster than
could run.
I resumed my flight. Would a
mad dog have his usual keen in
stinct about him? Would he pur
sue the trail or become confused
and give it m^)?
These - Noughts inspired me^with
a faint hope. If tine dog's slow
progress enabled me to reach the
hill, where there was timber, I could
climb a tree, or possibly he would
be missed, and his master would
ride in pursuit.
From one point where there was a
gentle rise in the prairie I could
see in the distance a moving speck.
It was the man eater steadily fol
lowing my trail ! t
My surmise turned out to be part
ly correct. The animal seemed to
be at fault. He would stop and run
back a few 'yards and branch off
aimlessly in every direction.
But this did not last long. After
a series of eccentric movements the
hound would get on my -track again
and rush forward.
He was gaining, and my chances
of reaching the hill began io look
gloomy.
For the next fifteen minutes I
dii somo good/running,-but when I
, --*V
turned to cast a backward glance I
could see the dog intoro plainly than
ever. / _ -
One thing encouraged me ; he did
not appear to see me, but blundered
on in a clumsy, dazed sort of way.
There were no streams^' to cross,
nothing that wouid throw, him off
the scent. I had no weapon, only a
small pocketkuifc, and. a fight with
a mad dog was out of the question.
*% stren.o^h was giving oiit, and I
felUhat the end was not far off.
iVheh ? again lo?lce?r hacK, tho
dog -ras not more vhan 300 yards
away, and the base of the hill was
still a mile off.
? spasm of terror reized me, but
to my surprise the gTeat brute sud
denly sat down on his haunches and
howled plaintively.
It was a minute or two before he
found tho trail again. If' his mal
ady KadCdimmed' his eight and con
fused himy there was still a chance
foi-md, but it'rwaa a-, slim.one.
With a tremendous"" effort I broke
forward-on my last run. This time
I would reach the bill or turn at
the list moment and die, making a
vain effort to choke the monster.
The blood-rushed to my head, and
I could hardly see anything as I
darted on at the top of my speed.
The hound was rapidly making
headway and at last seemed to havo
as in view. A glance over my shoul
der showed him not a hundred yards
behind.
Everything was in a whirl. Some- i
body was riding out from behind
the hill and coming my way. The
hat, the riding habit?I could not
be mistaken?it was Sallie Bolton.
But my race was nearly run. Even
with help in sight I could bear up
no longer. The girl was riding like
the wind, and I could see that sho
had a lasso in one hand.
I knew that this cattle queen, as
tho cowboys called her, could do
anything almost with a lasso, but
would sne get there in time ?
The man eater came bounding on,
and Sallie rode straight at him like
a little thunderbolt. She whirled
the lasso over and over around her
head, and?but it was too late. I
could hear the dog panting behind
me!
A wave of darkness rolled over mo
as I fell to the ground just as I
heard something swish through tho
air.
But I was up in a minute?just in
time to see my rescuer give a-putt
that tightened the lasso around the
dog's neck. A few convulsions, and'
the dog was strangled?dead within
six feet of me. My thanks were cut
short by the appearance of a ligHt
wagon driven by one of Bolton's
neighbors, who offered to take mo
back to the ranch, an invitation not
I to be declined under the circum
I stances.
j Sallie Bolton rode on ahead, and
I when I reached the house her father
was waiting to congratulate me upon
my escape. "It was Pedro's work/'
he said. "He unlocked the door and
set the dog on your trail?at least I
i think so. He had a key, and he has
j disappeared." _
Undoubtedly it was Pe&ro. He
had been trying to pay me back.
I have never seen the Boitons
i since my adventur? with the man
eater, but I am not likely to forget
the little cattle queen while I live.
He Meant the Bird.
Some time ago a man got a curi
ous present from a sea captain. It
was a fine specimen of the bird
which the sailors call the 'laughing
jackass/' and he was not a little
proud of it. As he was carrying it
home he met a brawny Irish navvy,
who stopped him and asked :
"Phwat kind of burrd is that,'
sorr?" j
"That's a laughing jackass," ex
plained the owner genially.
The' Irishman, thinking he was
being made fun of, was equal to the
occasion and responded with a twin
kle of the eye :
"It's not yersilf; it's the burrd Oi
mane, sorr!"?London Tit-Bits.
A Patron of the Realistic School, j
"Do you prefer realism or the |
ideal in art ? asked Mrs. Oldcastle i
as they sat down in a corner of the
magnificent library of the new
neighbors.
"Oh," said her hostess, "I would j
not have anything but realism as :
long as we can afford it. Of course ;
if people ain't got much money I ;
s'pose that them chromos are better j
than nothing for the poor things, ;
b?t I just told Josiah when we com- j
menced building this place that I
there wouldn't be anything except '

Appropriate Texts.
One of the restaurant men of
New York who have popular eating
houses all over the city likes to in
terpolate little literary morsels on
his advertisement cards.
Here are three appropriate ones
which he printed recently: "Coffee,

Pope. "Dispatch is the soul of busi
ness," Chesterfield. "Let good di

PHILOSOPHY OF LAUGHING, j
Optlmi&m a Supreme Sedative?Worry I
Is Bad For tho Health.
Again a word about the philoso
phy of laughter. When the system
is nerved, and is making conscious or
unconscious effort, the nerves that
tighten the walla of tho blood ves
sels are hard at work, and pressure
in the arteries is great; but a hearty
laugh, as Brucke's interesting exper
iments show, tends to bring the
blood over into the veins where there
is no pressure, relieves the arteries
and brings the exquisite sensations
of relaxation of rest. This is fa
vored even by the attitude of a
hearty laugh. To draw in a fuir*
breath, throw back tho head, open
the mouth and let the expiration
"gurgle forth with sonorous inter
mittence," to quote a phrase, from
the "Philosophy of Laughter," and
to do it again and again slowly
throws off the chains of the world's
?~real taskmaster and brings us back,
ack toward the primeval paradise,
where there was nothing out joy,
and sin and e or row were unknown.
Once more, optimism is one of
the supremo sedatives. There are
men who worry because the sun will
sometimes go out ar d the earth grow
dead and cold like the moon, or tho
coal measures be exhausted, or the
fertile areas of the world dry up
because of the denudation of for
ests, but the philosophy of health is
that the best things have not hap
pened; that man's history has only
1'ust begun; that, on the whole, there
?as been steady progress; that in
virtue, comfort, knowledge, arts, re
ligion and nearly if not quite all the
essentials of the further develop
ment of man, faith in human nature
and belief in a future better than
the present is the conclusion of ev
ery philosophy of development and
evolution. ^It is our good fortune
to live in a day of the evolution of
evolution, and this is giving a new
meaning to the very word progress
and makes us feel that the world is
rational and beneficent to the core
and that whore conscious purpose
and effort fail wo sink back into ev
erlasting arms. This is a sanifying
point of view authorized now by
both science and religion and is a
good psychic state to sleep on or in
which to enter the great rest.?Ains
lee's Magazine.
Too Much Fault Finding.
Hemy Crabb Bobirison, the kind
ly and philosophic barrister, once
gave an effectual rebuke to tho hab
it of fault finding. It was, as we
read in Iiis diary, during a visit to
Paris.
He had spent the day in sightsee
ing with a London acquaintance,
who said to him at parting, "I will
call for you tomorrow."
"I will thank you not to call," re
plied Robinson. "I would rather
not see anything else with you, and
I will tell you frankly why. I came
to Paris to enjoy myself, and that
enjoyment needs the accompaniment
of sympathy with others. Now, you
dislike everything and find fault
with everything. You see nothing
which you do not find inferior to
what you have seen before. This
may be all very true, but it makes
me uncomfortable. So I shall be
glad to see you in London, but no
more in Paris."
A Judge Of Sermons.
A clergyman in Scotland^ invited
Bishop Selwyn to preach in his
church. As usual his lordship gave
an impressive and beautiful sermon,
wliich at the same time was perfect
ly plain and simple The rector was
delighted qnd said as much on meet
ing one of the most regular members
of his congregation.
"Well, sir, I don't think so mUch
of it," rejoined the man. "It was
so simple any child could have un
derstood it. For my part, I like a
sermon which confuses your head
for a week. I don't know any which
beats yours for that, sir."?London

A 8afe Refuge.
A certain wild beast tamer had
been on bad terms for some time
with one of his neighbors, and tho
other day, as the result of a violent
quarrel, the latter, with a frend, at
tacked the former just before he
was timed to give his performance.
The tamer, unwilling to make a
scene, took refuge in the lion's den.

MAXIMS OF A WITTY ABBE.
A Notable Eighteenth Century Figure
!" Trench Society.
Some of the maxima and anecdotes
of Nicholas de Chamfort, the witty
abbe, who during the latter half of
the eighteenth centhry was such a
notable figure in French society,
have been translated by Mr. W. G.
Hutchison and published by a Lon
don firm. Here are some samples
of the abbe's wit as rendered by tho
translator:
"Living is a disease from the
pains of which sleep eases us every
sixteen hours. Sleep is but a pallia
tive; death alone is the cure."
"The worst wasted of all days is
that in which one has not laughed/'
I . "Tis not generally known how
much wit a man requires to avoid
being ridiculous."
"The best philosophical attitude
to adopt toward tho world is ? union
of the sarcasm of gayety with the
indulgence of contempt."
"Society would be a charming af
fair if we were only interested in
one another."
"There is no history worthy of
attention save that of free nations.
! The history of nations5, under tho
sway of despotism is.no more than
j a collection of anecdotes."
Some of his anecdotes are good.
Mme. de Talmont, seeing M. de
Bichelieu neglecting her to pay at
tentions to Lime, de Brionne, a very
beautiful woman, but paid; to be
rather stupid, remarked to him,
"You are not blind, marshal, but I
cannot help thinking you a little
deaf." I
'Mile. D?the having lost a lover
and the affair causing some talk, a
man who called to see her found her
playing the harp and said with sur
prise: "Good heavens! I was ex
pecting to find you desolated with
grief." "Ah," she exclaimed in a
pathetic tone, "you ought to have
seen me yesterday !"
A woman was at. a performance
of the tragedy of "Merope" and did
not weep. Surprise was expressed.
"I could cry my eyes out," she said,
"but I have to go out to supper to
night." _
What Causes Fogs.
I Fogs are, generally speaking,
caused by the precipitation of tho
moisture of the atmosphere. They
are formed when a warm stratum
of atmosphere comes in contact with
a cold stratum or with apportion of
the earth's surface, as a hill, by*
which it is cooled so that it can no
longer hold as much moisture in so
lution as before. This causes the
frequent fogs in mountain regions.
When a cold stratum of air comes
over a moist, warm part of tho
earth's surface, a fog is also formed.
This is the cause of tho miBts that
appear over lakes, rivers and marsh
es in the evening, since the water is
then warmer than the atmosphere
above it. The blackness and density
of London fogs are caused by the
simple fact that the mist formed in
the upper air mingles with the as
cending clouds of smoke from hun
dreds of thousands of chimneys and,
descending, brings the smoke with it
and settles like a pall above tho
buildings and in the streets of tho
city._
A Bsy Who Bid Kiis Duty.
A gentleman went into a fancy
shop one day to buy something. It
was early, and the shopkeeper's lit
tle boy and ho were alone in the
house. The shopkeeper had to go
upstairs to get his cash box in order
to procure some change, but beforo
doing so he went into the little room
next to the shop and whispered to
the boy :
"Watch the gentleman that he
doesn't steal anything," and, bring
ing him out, sat him on the coun
ter.
As soon as the shopkeeter re
turned the child sang out: "Pa, he
didn't steal anything. I watched
him."?London Tit-Bits.
A Simple Change.
The little daughter of tho house
watched the minister who was mak
ing a visit very' closely and finally
sat down beside him and began to
draw on her slate.
"What are you^doing ?" asked the
clergyman.
"I'm making your picture," said
the child.
The minister sat very still, and
^the child worked away earnestly.
Then she stopped and compared her
work with the original and shook
her head.
"I don't like it much," she said.
"'Tain't a great deal like you. I
think I'll put a tail to it and call it
a dog."
A Somewhat Clever Rat.
The Pioneer tells a story of a rat
which on one occasion was caught
alive on a ship and thrown over
board. A sea gull was floating by
the side of the ship. Immediately
there ensued a battle royal, and the
rat strangled the sea gull to death.
He then sat upon the carcass of the
sea gull, unfurled its left wing to
catoh the wind and, working the
right wing as an oar, set sail for the
shore !

FATIGUE SENSE.
Tho Fooling That Notifies Man When
It Is Time to Rest.
"I hardly know who are most to
bo pitied, the rich or idle and lazy
who underwork or the very poor who
must overwork to live," says a writ
er in Ainslee'8. "The former grow
flabby or tense, according to their
heredity, in both musclo and mind,
become fastidious, finicky and sen
timental, are especially prone to
yield to temptations of drink and
excesses, must aimlessly cUango
their interests, location and pur
suits from sheer ennui, are easily
bored and finally lose the power of
being strenuous about anything.
The effects of an inactive life upon
the offspring are sometimes sadly
and markedly degenerate.
"The overworked, especially if
young, are prono to many forma of
arrest. Children are undergrown in
both height and weight. They are
robbed of the paradise of leisure,
which is tho literal translation of
tho Greek word school. Tho high
ideals and ambitions normal to ado
lescence fade into a dull state of
apathy and discouragement and at
worst of smoldering revolt against
the existing order of things. To be
always tired is miserable, and indi
vidual or social misery is a powder
magazine liable to explode at any
time.
"Man is endowed with a fatigue
sense that tells him when he is !
tired. It seems to be a specific feel
ing, due perhaps to accumulated
products of decomposition in the
muscles. This pain tire is a warn
ing to stop or let up. It is, however,
possible to press on in defiance of it,
and if we persist in so doing there
comes a point when this fatigue
sente is itself fatigued and tired out
and censes to act. This is when
runners get their second breath;
when \ho&Q beginning night work
have fought through tho period of
sleepiness that comes when they
have been wont to go to bed and feel
very wide awake and alert, as if they
could go on forever. But the day
of reckoning comes. They are now
living on their capital, which is be
ing rapidly overdrawn."
What a Dozen Is.
The child is taught at school that
a dozen means twelve every time,
but when the child grows into a
man he finds that a dozen is a very
elastic term. A baker's dozen is
thirteen, and so is a publisher's or a
news agent's in many parts of the
world. In some sections a dozen of
fish means twenty-six, and there are
other anomalies of this kind. But
to find a dozen indicating anything
from two to fifty it is necessary to
go to the earthenware trade.
Here the size and weight of ar
ticles decide how many make a doz
en, and in jugs, bowls, plates and
so on there are two, four, six, eight
or mere to the dozen. A dozen com
posed of twelve articles is a very un
usual thing in the wholesale pottery
trade, and as a result there are few
clerkships more difficult to hold
than in this line. I tried the work
once and foiled ignoiuiuiously. To
havo to find tho cost of 500 articles
at so much a dozen when that dozen
may mean anything is a very diffi
cult task until a man gets thorough
ly used to it.?St. Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat. _'
Superstitions About Crows.
There are perhaps few who have
not heard of crows that "one is
lucky, two is unlucky, three is
health, four is wealth, five sickness
and six death." The unluckiness of
one living crow is of ancient date,
since the Greeks believed that if
such a bird appeared at a wedding
breakfast there would be a divorce,
to avert which all roared out,
"Maiden, scare away the crow!"
But of far greater antiquity was the
belief that if . the one crow were
dead the evil portent also perished,
since, according to Horus Apollo, it
signified extreme old age or a very
long life. According to what Hesi
od tells us, the crow lives nine times
as long as a man.
Origin of the Word "Money."
In tracing out the origin or deri
vation of the word "money" you
find it is from tho Roman word
"Moneta," because the first regular
coins of the Romans were "struck"
in the temple of Juno Moneta. The
word "coin" is no doubt from the
Latin "cuneus," meaning a die or
stamp. Many coins are so called
from their original weight, as the
English "pound," the French "li
vre" and tho Italian "lira."
Talleyrand's Clever Retort.
Napoleon described Talleyrand
as one whose face would preserve a
smile while he was being kicked
from behind. Talleyrand had his
revenge. "It is a pity," he said,
"tnat so great a man should have
6uch bad manners." And the mot
will cling to Napoleon forever. Ma
caulay has said the same thing in
comparing C sar with Napoleon.
"But, after all, C sar was a gentle
man."

WAYS OF THE SHAD.
Their Migration? and How They Live
at 8pawning Time.
Shad fishing is hard and precari
ous work. The fisherman must
count on having his clothes always
soaked with icy April water. Often,
too, the nets como in empty, and
then there is nothing to do hut to
make another cast and hope for bet
ter luck.
A remarkable fact noticed by fish?
ermen is that the identical shad ap
parently frequent the same streams
year after year. To provo this they '
point out that those taken in Flor- .
ida waters are smaller than shad
caught in the north, while in dif
ferent streams the fish differ in form,
thickness and shape.
After entering the rivers the shad
take littlo if any food previous to
spawning, but afterward they will
bite at flies or uuy shining object
floating in the water. They have
even been known to snap at artifi
cial bait. The toothless mouth of
the adult is unfit for feeding upon
anything except minute animal mat
ter found in the water. Food is rare
ly found in their stomachs, tho only
substance commonly seen there be
ing something closely resembling
black mud. From this it is sup
posed that the shad swim with
mouths extended, swallowing the
animal life that swarms in tho wa
ter and on this growing plump and
sweet.?O uting.
Character In Umbrellas.
One's character is said to bo re
vealed with infalliblo accuracy by
the way he holds and carries an um
brella. One enthusiast, who has
made a study of the public's umbrel
la manners, hns announced that he
would want no better guide in choos
ing his wifo than to watch her furl
and carry her umbrella.
The man who pokes you in the
ribs with his umbrella, for instance,
docs not nlone announce by such an
act that he is rude or careless. To
the experienced eye ho actually lays
bare the innermost secrets of his
character.
Th > man or woman who carries
an umbrella with the point back
ward and downward is unassertive.
On the other hand, persons who in
walking carry their umbrellas by
the handles, with the points contin
ually extended or pointing forward,
will be found self assertive and en
ergetic. The pedestrian who grabs
an umbrella in the middle and goes
forging ahead with it in this posi
tion is likely to bo found alert, but
of a selfish, even conceited disposi
tion.

? A man never knows whether a

? The average wife imagines her

enough to meet her.
? A man is always wondering what
