He told me about another Irishman whom h§ called Dennis Doherty, a personal friend of his, he said. Dennis was a small farmer and had very little knowl edge of railroads. In fact, he had never seen one until the old ; Shreveport & Marshall line ran l through his farm, down near the line of Texas and Louisiana. “ ‘lt was a pretty heavy grade,’ said Mike, ‘along the eighth of a mile that ran through Dennis Doherty’s farm, and when we struck it as we came west one day about noon old Dennis happened to be walking down the track. When he saw us start down the grade, he broke into a run. The old B. M. Johnson was almost right upon him before the train could be stopped, for, you know, j there were no air brakes in those days. When the train was finally brought to a standstill within a few feet of the almost exhausted Irishman, the engin eer asked him why he didn’t leave the track instead of run ning down it. “ ‘You blarsted spalpeen’ ex claimed the panting old farmer, ‘don’t you see the field on both sides av ye dirthy ould track is freshly plowed? If I couldn’t out run you on the hard thrack, how in the divil do yez think I could get out av ye way in plowed ground?’ he asked indignantly. —Dick Naylor in Home & Farm. Whales Live 1,000 Years. Undoubtedly the longest lived animal on earth is the whale, its span of existence being measured by Cuvier at 1,000 years. The ] next largest animal, the elephant, ; will, under favorable conditions, live four hundred years. When Alexander the Great con el uered Porus, King of India, he took a great elephant that had fought gallantly for the defeated dng, named him Ajax, dedicated * him to the sun, placed upon him | a metal band with the in scrip-1 tion, “Alexander, the son of Ju- j[ piter, dedicated Ajax to the sun.” The elephant was found alive 350 years later. The average age of eats is 15 years; of squirrels, 7to 8 years; of rabbits, 7; a bear rarely ex ceeds 20 years; a wolf, 20; a fox, ; 14 to l(i. Lions are comparative y long lived, instances having ' been recorded where they reach the age of 70. * Pigs have been known to live . 20 years and horses GO, but the average age of the horse is 25 to 1 30. Camels sometimes live to i the age of 100 and stags are very ong lived, one having been taken *■ >Y Charles VI in the forest of Senlis which bore about its neck a collar on which was engraved, "Caesar roc rnihi donavit.. ” Whether or not this stag had actually lived since the days of one of the Caesars it is impossi ble to say, but the evidence seems good. ;, Eagles occasionally and ravens | frequently reach the age of 100 | years, and swans have l>een known to live three hundred years. A tortoise has been known to live 107 years. Efforts have been made to con nect the rapidity of the pulse beat with longevity, but no logi cal conclusion can lie reached, as ; will be seen from the fact that the pulse of a lion beats forty times a minute; that of a tiger, ninety-six times; of a horse, for ty times; of a wolf, forty-five times; of a fox, forty-three times; of a bear, thirty-three times, and of an eagle 160 times. It has been impossible to count the beats of an elephant’s pulse, hut that of a butterfly beats sixty times to the minute. —Our Dumb Animals. - auwwrajiorjwi>jrjwr«iauij..^'o».i,j>.AOi.A«wi. | TONEY TO LEND | !
