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."

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.
