A Hungry Wolf.
From the Rochester Post-Express.
A red-faced man was holding the
attention of a little group with some
wonderful recitals.
“The most exciting chase I ever
had,” he said, “happened a few years
ago In Russia. One night, when
sleighing about ten miles from my
destination, I discovered, to my In
tense horror, that I was being fol
lowed by a pack of wolves. I flred
blindly into the pack, killing one of
the brutes, and to my delight saw the
others stop to devour It. After doing
this, however, they still came on. I
kept on repeating the dose, with the
same result, and each occasion gave
me an opportuniy to whip up my
horses. Finally, only one wolf was
loft, yet on It came, with its fierce
eyes glaring in anticipation ol a good,
hot supper."
Hero the man who had been sitting
In the corner burst forth Into a lit of
laughter.
“Why, man," said he, “by your way
of reckoning, that last wolf must have
bad the rest of the pack inside him!"
“Ah!" said the red-faced man with
out a tremor, “now I remember It did
wobble a bit."

A Bloodless Tragedy.
From the Popular Magazine.
The practice of dueling is on the
decline in France, the -country which
has been peculiarly its home. It grows
more ridiculous year by year, and
those who engage in it become more
and more a laughing-stock. Not long
ago a Paris journalist, who had by
some criticism offended a politician,
received from him the following let
ter: '
“Sir—One does not send a challenge
to a bandit of your species; one sim
ply • administers a cuff on the ears.
Therefore, I hereby cuff both your
ears. Be grateful, to me for not having
recourse to weapons.
“Yours truly, ■, .”
The journalist answered:
“My Dear Sir and Adversary—I
thank you, according to your wish, for
having sent me cuffs by post, instead
of slaughtering me with weapons.
Cuffed by post, I respond by despatch
ing you by post six bullets In the head.
I kill you by letter. Please consider
yourself dead from the first line of
this epistle. With a respectful saluta
tion to your corpge, I am.
“Very truly yours,
It Pays to Tip.
From New York Tribune.
Jean Gerardy, the well-known cell
ist, at a dinner in Philadelphia, praised
American wit
“You are all witty,” he said. “From
your millionaire down to your gamin
you are quick, nimble, and sparkling
in retort.
“Your gamins’ wit is sometimes
cruel. It caused a friend of mine to
flush and mutter an. oath one day last
week in New York.
“My friend, in a hurry to catch a
train, ran out. of his hotel toward a
cab, and a ragged little boy opened the
cab door for him and handed in his
valise.
“He gave the boy nothing. In his
hurry, you see, he forgot,
“The' disappointed urchin smiled
sourly, and called this order to the
driver: * '
“ ‘Nearest poorhouse, cabby.’ ”
To Hold Their Convention in 1907 in
This City.
At its annual meeting in Atlanta on
the Fourth of July, the Rural Letter
Carriers' Association of Georgia will
be invied to hold its next convention
in Albany.
Mr. J. B. Mann, carrier No. 1 of the
local rural force, and president of the
Rural Letteiv Carriers’ Association of
the Second Congressional District, will
attend, the meeting in Atlanta and for
mally present the invitation for the
association to meet in this city next
year.
Mr. Mann has prepared a circular
letter which will be mailed to all rural
carriers in the Second District, an!l
in which appeal is made for union
with the district association. The car
riers are also urged to attend the
meeting in Atlanta on July 4 for the
purpose of assisting Albany in captur
ing the 1907 convention.
The Second District was the last to
organize a carriers’ association, but it
is apparent that the youngest is one
of the most progressive associations
In the state. It was organized in Al-
'bany on May SO by President J. A.
Giles, of the state association.
Cause and Effect
From Cleveland Leader.
A theological student was sent one
Sunday to supply a vacant pulpit in a
Connecticut valley town. A few days
later, he received a copy of the weekly
paper of that place with the following
item marked: “Rev. of the
senior class at Yale seminary, sup
plied the pulpit at the Congregational
church last Sunday, and the church
will now be closed three weeks for re
pairs.”
