Luaded With Pat.
In the good old days when we were
greatly pestered by a neighbor's sow.
or nnile, or bull, or dog. Invading our
premises and taking unwarranted lib
erties we londed the old shotgun with
powder and fat meat and. nfter serving
due notice upon said neighbor and said
notice being Ignored, set out to uphold
the tlrst law of nature, self defense.
The amount of execution that can be
done by a wad of fat meat on top of u
good charge of powder Is amazing
Wherever It strikes hair ar.d hide dls
appear. It seldom If ever kills, but
leaves sears that time does not obllter
ate. The fat being salty, onuses oxoru
elntlhg pain, which lingers long lu
memory, and the stricken unimnl does
not offend again.
A tnllow cnndle can be shot through
a two Inch oak board without Injury to
the candle. In like manner n tallow
bullet If driven by a sufficient charge of
powder would penetrate n man’s body
and grease him so well Internally that
he would not enre to go dueling again
A glancing shot would plow ugly fur
rows In the skin.-New York Cress.
Two fin ft lea.
Portlrlo Dins? gained national promi
nence anil won his spurs at the battle
of Puebla, where the Liberal forces
made n gallant but Ineffectual stand
against the French who had Invaded
Mexico for the purpose of erecting a
throne for Maximilian. Notwithstand
ing the fact that the Mexican forces
were defeated, their defense against
superior numbers was so gnllaut. that
the anniversary of the battle of the fitli
of .May became a untioual holiday In
Mexico.
A brusque American once asked the
president. “Why do you Mexicans cele
brate a defeat when you know that the
French Anally took Puebla?”
President Diaz, wltb a twinkle "in Ills
eye, replied. "Perhaps we have Imitated
tbo Americans even to the extent ot
celebrating our defeats, for 1 have been
told that the British defeated the col
onists at Bunker II111, and yet you built
a momimout to commemorate the
event"
Scotch (economy.
A Scottish noble lord, finned among
his friends for his saving, or. ns he
would have gut It himself, his careful
propensities, went out one day shooting
In his broad moors, aeeotnpauiod only
by Ills keeper. After an arteruoon’s
bard work he sat down to rest and.
ruefully contemplating his ting, observ
ed thoughtfully. ‘‘And to think that
each brace has cost me. Orst aud last,
at least 15 shillings, Donald!” *
”F.h. eh!” answered Donnld consol
ingly. “Then It’s a tnnlrcy yore laird-
ship missed the many ye did todny.-for
it’s a alee tut ye’ve Saved, I'm think
ing.’’—London Sketch.
A Suggestion.
A very good idea for Thanksgiving
rlietoricals is to let the pupils in the
Language class prepare papets ill
their regular work on the following
subjects: Columbus, The Indians,
The Puritans, aud The First Thanks
giving. Then select from these the
.our best papers for them to read at
the public rlietoricals. The children
will work earnestly for the honor of
being chosen, and the best results
will be obtained.
On tbc day of the rlietoricals let
them all appear on the stage togeth
er, and after the papers are read let
them join in singing the song given
below. Should none of the four be
singers, let another child accompany
them on the plaitorm and sing it as
a s>do.
The interest and knowledge gained
by the pupils, the approval of the in
telligent patrons, who will see that
the children really living in the heart
of history, will amply repay for all $

Tarts Is par excellence the city of
gourmets ami cranks, and many a
story concerning them has added to the
guyety of the nations. Here Is one
•il the latest, told by a well known.
French head waiter: One of the regu
lar customers of a famous Parisian
restaurant used to he n short, thin,
shy and shabbily dressed man whose
name uo one knew, but vvuo gave out
thut he was n butter dealer, for which
reason he vvns called the butter man at
the restaurant In question.
He ute next to nothing, but his soup
tureen, tilled with a soup specially pre
pared for him, was always put before
him. Uo took a few spoonfuls and
had It taken away. Next cauie n
whole Ollet of beef, from which he
cut the tiniest slice. Then followed
four qunils or a large chicken, of which
he ate one mouthful, together with
two lettuce leaves aud one radish. Ills
dessert was four grapes—uaver n sin
gle one more—and n cup of coffee. A
bottle of the best claret ami another
of the best champagne were served
with the repast, but he only wetted
his lips with n drop from them uud let i s ed me to try a i
‘them go. He took two of these meals
a day, and the prlou for each meal was
120 francs.
But this was not all. Evefy time
the butter man got up from his ex
traordinary tueul he gave 40 francs to
the head waiter, who put bis food on
his plate, since the guest did not like
to handle spoons or dishes; 2b francs
to the waiter. 10 francs to the woman
cashier and 5 francs to the porter.
| Thus each meal came to 200 francs.

his cigars, etc., and took them to the

lived. The little o'.d man would then

"Pay yourself,” said the owner, and

bills before his patron, who never
deigned to look at them,
