An ardent, anxious, race
With Time, a little breathing space
Of care and strife.
And.w hither does it lead?
Alas', poor fools, wo little know

JOEL’S PUNKIN HOOD.
By SUSAN 13. BOBBINS.
j .JDsxL T was the first really
' 'Va. cold day of winter.
-v There had been
s' WfS&x sharp winds and
frosty nights before,
tout this day was
bitterly blustering.
Along the frozen
road, giving- tliun
‘ derous notice of its
' a “ approach, chattered
••a blue farm wagon, drawn by a white
horse, which was driven by a tall man,
. who wore on his head a large green
hood of the pumpkin variety.
Every 'one who saw him pass, on the
way to his wood lot, said or thought:
“Joel Bennett has got out his punkiu
hood.” And some of the men looked
after him almost enviously as they
paused to rub their tingling ears.
After Joel Bennett’s mother died,
leaving him alone in the old house, of
the neighbors wasted a great deal
sympathy on him. The women of¬
fered to do his mending, and on bak¬
ing days sent him pies and dough¬
nuts. But when he told them that he
•could probably mend fully as well as
they could, and when they found that
he gave their cooking to the pig, they
sympathized less, and con tented them¬
selves with buying his butter, which
was of excellent quality.
With all his independence, how¬
ever, he had one weak point; he could
not resist Miss Serena Bowen’s gin
gersnaps. He had tried repeatedly to
make them himself, but, although at
times he felt encouraged and had
hopes of mastering the art, he finally
gave it up in disgust, and vowed, amid
a blue cloud of smoke which was
ascending from a panful of rounds of
carbon, that he never would attempt
the impossible again.
So every week he carried eggs and
butter to Miss Serena Bowen and
« bartered them for her gingersnaps.
A.nd she would remark to her tortoise¬
shell eat, after he was gone: “I don’t
see how that mau manages to con¬
sume such a quantity.”
It was five years now since, with
Itlie remark, “I have froze my ears
jonce too often,” Joel had adopted the
/ j headdress before mentioned.
The old green hood began to show
the effect of wear. There were places
where the green outside had worn off
and showed the white cotton batting
inside. It was also evident that this
threatened dissolution caused Joel
some anxiety, for ‘in one place there
was sewed on, with large, laborious
stitches, a patch of thick black cloth,
which, in contrast with the faded
green of the surrounding territory,
could be seen for nearly half a mile.
Everybody noticed this dilapidated
condition, and felt sorry for Joel. “I
wonder if he’ll wear that old thing
next year,” said Miss -Serena. And
as she looked about the cozy room
that served for her little bakery she
sighed, for some unaccountable rea¬
son.
Spring came, and for some little
time Joel had worn a hat, while the
punkin hood hung on a hook in his
back entry. Then one day toward
the end of April Joel decided that it
was tune to pack it away for the sum¬
mer.
He took it down and looked at it
dubiously. “I’ll have to mend you,”
he said, and preparatory to the nn
/ dertaking he took it out of doors and
hung it on the clothesline by its two
strings to air.
Miss Serena Bowen, passing along
the road, was a witness to this act.
That evening Joel had finished his
day’s work and was sitting in comfort
in his kitchen reading. On the stand
beside him was his lamp and a plate
of gingersnaps. Every so often he
would put out his hand mechanically,
take one of them and eat it slowly as
he read. The last bite he invariably
-gave to the large black eat that sat on
liis knees. It was evident that he
was taking solid comfort.
But presently, when his hand groped
on the empty plate and failed to find
what it sought, he roused up. A de¬
termined, almost grim look came on
his face, and he put the eat on the
■ floor with scant ceremony.
He went into another room and
came back with a work basket and
some patches. He put them on the
table, threaded a needle with much
difficulty and then went out to get the
punkin "hood.

It was gone.
He groped along the whole length
of the clothesline, but it was empty.
He lighted his lantern and searched
all the yard, but in vain.
Joel felt his loss keenly, butkekept
it to himself, and no one suspected
what had befallen him. He was a
forehanded person, and he determined
that before much time had passed he
would have another hood.
He got the materials, and thereafter
his evenings were spent in a desperate
tussle with the problem of lioodmak
ing. At such times Miss Herena’s
gingersnaps were the only mitigating
feature of his night labors. Joel’s dis¬
position gave way under the strain and
the black cat learned to flee hia pres¬
ence.
The 1st of May came and the hood
was still unfinished.
•One night, when Joel was surround
ed by cotton batting, cloth, needles
and thread, there carne a bS,n gentle knock
>t hi. door. He l,»d mnojerl
before .by hoy. rapping end then di
appearing. Now lie was glad of the
diversion, and he started for the door
in hot haste.
He sped ant into the night and up
the road. In the distance he could
see a black figure How he ran!
In a few minutes he overtook the
...1, catcMng it by tb, ,ho«l
devs, shook it vigorously. “I’ll teach
you to come knocking at my door,” he
said, fiercely.
“Oh!” gasped the victim “I didn’t
mean for you to know I did it.
At the sound of that voice Joels
arms dropped at his sides, and just
then the moon shone out from behind
some clouds and she ,ved Joel Bennett
and Serena Bowen to each other
“To think of her doing it, said
Joel as he went sadly home. ‘I
wouldn’t a’thought it.” paused,
When he reached his door he
f ““"" E ^ a “
Ha tool it off anil oamoff it iuto
the house.
It was a beautiful brown punkm
hood quilted with tiny stitches. In
side it were a quantity of gmgersnaps
and a bunch ot carnation pinks.
For fall five minutes Joel stood
looking at these things, then he said:
“To think of her doing it. I wouldn’t
a’ thought it!”
Then with a beaming face he gath¬
ered up his unfinished hood and the
pieces of cloth and cotton batting and
put them in the stove.
While he was fixing the pinks in a
vase he was struck by an enlightening
thought. “Why, she stole the old one
off the line for a pattern.”
He took out the ginger snaps and
going to the glass tried on the new
hood. It was very becoming.
Then, in thoughtful silence, he ate
a gingersnap and gave the last bite to
the black cat.
It was a week later that Joel was m
Miss Serena’s little bakery.
“Yes,” showas saying, “I am tired
this morning. Things didn’t go well
yesterday, and there is so much to
fret about, trying to suit everybody.”
Joel cleared his thiAat and spoke
hesitatingly. “Would it—would it be
easier if you should only suit one?”
he asked.
Miss Serena blushed beautifully as
she answered, very low: “Yes, I
think it would.”—Chicago Record.
CSlailstonc’s Malady.
Gladstone’s malady is almost exact¬
ly like that from which Bismarck has
suffered so long, facial neuralgia and
deep mental depression being the
chief symptoms in both cases. The
English statesman, however, is hardly
likely to give the same explanation of
his pains as was recently propounded
by the grimly humorous Teuton. One
day, when the latter was obliged to
sit for hours v itli his fingers pressed
hard against his cheeks for the. sake
of getting a little relief, he is said to
have remarked: “This is only just;
in my life I have sinned most with
my mouth—eating, drinking and
talking. ”

“The physical expressions which
animals employ to manifest their pas¬
sions, requirements, distresses, and
emotions,” said a naturalist in the New
York Sun, “are precisely similar to
man’s. They caress with their lips and
limbs; show resentment by facial dis¬
tortion, bites, and kicks, and fear by
a tremor; they leap with joy, loll with
thirst, lag with fatigue, and attack for
revenge and reprisals. Even fishes,
with their poor, deficient bodies, are
able to manifest many apparent men¬
tal operations in a manner intelligible
to man as well as to one another.

that there didn’t seem to be any chance^
of his getting his dinner, went away.
An hour or so later the butcher.came
into my friend’s store and told him
,hr.t thoro rtn. no aronej in the envc

butcher that he hadn’t sent the dog
with an envelope that day, and was
astonished to hear that the dog had
visited the butcher s carrying an en
velope as usual. The dog had
down the envelope, got his meat and
.„b.p,rerl out of tb, .tor, had „ if iu .
great hurry, something he never
done before. Every time before that
he Lad brought his meat into his mas

time he had not been seen since he
went'away. His master looked him
up and founc him lying in the grass

his masters cal the dog came to him
a most shame-faced looking animal
his hanging head and drooping tail
betraying the guilty feeling he had.
1 he dog, having seen tha Ins master
wasn't mclined tlia. day to give him

thing and that if he took the meat to
tne store as he had always done be
fore he, would be found out at once,
and when his master called him he
hadn’t the face to try and hide his
guilt.
“I had a Newfoundland dog once
that one day bravely rescued a child
from the water at a seaside resort
where I was stopping. The act was
rewarded by much carressing and
petting of the dog, and by his being
fed generously with candy, of which
he was extremely fond. This ceased
after a day or two, and then one day
the news came to me that a little girl
had fallen from the end of the pier and
that Ponto had rescued her. Again
the dog became for a time a great hero,
and the best of bonbons came again.
This in turn became a thing of the
past, and then, the very next week,the
dog rescued another child that had
fallen from the pier. Petting and
candy followed this third noble act,
and when they again ceased only a
couple of days passed before Ponto
had. brought safely ashore another
child that had tumbled into the water
from the pier. Now, it began to
strike me as something odd that the
dog should happen to be so oppor¬
tunely present, on these critical occa¬
sion, and when he ceased being the
petted hero after this fourth life-sav¬
ing effect I kept a sly eye on him. The
pier was a favorite play spot for the
children, although so many of them
had fallen into the water, and one day
I saw Ponto strolling down there to
join them. I followed without his
knowing it, He mingled with the
children, and before long I saw him
deliberately, in apparent play, edge a
little boy toward the side of the pier
and actually pushed him off into the
water. Then he jumped in after the
boy and easily carried him the short
distance to the shore. The scoundrel
was actually making a practice of
tumbling children from the pier and
magnanimously saving them, praise just and to
receive the homage and
sweetmeats of the grateful and admir
ing guests. I shipped this Jekyll and
- Hyde dog back to New York-that very
flay. Now, if he hadn’t reasoned all
, that sly business out and acted on his
j conclusions, I don’t know what it
‘ might be called.”

HOW WILD ANIMALS DIE.
Gets Them, liven If They Escape
the Gun or Spear.
"What becomes of all the dead birds
animals'? Some of them, hast¬
ened in tlieir exists by villainous salt¬
petre, go into cooking pots or yield up
their blood-dabbled feathers for wo¬
man’s adornment. But how about
those who die a natural death?
It is the rarest thing to find the
bodies of wild animals, except such as
have plainly died in conflict or by
accident. At salt-licks the ground is
often covered with the bones of ani¬
mals who have been killed in lights
with each other.
In tropical countries the bodies of
dead animals rapidly decay and their
smaller bones are devoured by greedy
beasts of the pig and hyena types.
But the same scarcity of animal re¬
mains is noted in the Arctic regions,
where decay is almost unknown. Here
big beasts "like the Siberian mammoth
have been “cold-storaged” for many
centuries, and actually eaten at the
last.
But , each , succeeding .. spring does i „ as

by the snow. Yet birds swarm by tbe
millions in summer on the Arctic
tundra ami seals, reindeer, foxes,
walruses and other land and water
animals are there. Nordenskiold
notes this strange absence of “self
dead” polar animals. Not one did he
see, though there were plenty of traces
of man’s wanton waste of life in crea
tures dead of gunshot wounds. “The
polar bear and the reindeer,” he
writes, “are found in hundreds, the
seal, walrus and white whale in thou
sands, and birds in millions. These
birds must die a ‘natural death’in
untold numbers. What becomes of
their bodies?”
It is strange that on Spitzbergeu it
is easier to find the vertebra of a
gigantic lizard of the Trias than the
bones of a seal, walrus or bird wbicli
has met a natural death.
It is probable that animals almost
universally hide themselves when they
feel the pangs of approaching death.
Their chief foe is hunger, coupled
with old age. Distemper kills foxes
and wolves as well as domestic dogs
and cats. Chills and heart disease
count animal as well as human victims,

Oregon Sends Its Carp East.
At last a market has been found fol
carp, and if it only proves adequate tc
the supply which can be furnished,
the number of carp in this section will
soon he reduced. Mr. Boeder, oi
Sauvie’s Island, says there are now
three men fishing for carp in the out¬
let of Sturgeon Lake, and they sell
their catch to a dealer in Portland for
two cents per pound, to be frozen and
shipped East. If the fish find a ready
market and the sale increases there
will soon be many more persons fish¬
ing for them.
When the water is rising the carp
rush up the river into the Jake, and
when the water begins to fall the sa¬
gacious fish rush out again. They
are caught in a bag or purse nets set
in the outlet of the lake, and by
turning the nets around as the flow of
the water changes they are caught “a
comin’ ora-gwiue.” Sauvie’s
The lake and sloughs on and
Island are swarming with carp,
there is no end to the quantity that
can be taken. Carp grow to weigh
forty pounds or move and it is said
that some weighing forty pounds have
been seen in Sturgeon Lake, but the
largest seen in the market here
weighed a little Eastern over people twenty-five will

eat carp, they can have all they want
at low rates from this section.—Port¬

Thicker Shoes.
Women have made a great advance
in the matter of being properly shod
for walking. We can remember when
paper soles and silk stockings were
quite as often seen on a winter pave¬
ment as anything more sensible. Now
they wear a thicker, sole. As a conse¬
quence, red cheeks have taken tha
place of blue noses; and though the
family physician may have a fee or
two less, we know of nobody else who
can grumble. Ah! we forgot—tha
shoemaker. He tells us, that since
ladies took to thick soles he sells only
one pair of boots where he used to sell
two. So that, as amatterof economy,
it seems the ladies have reason to con¬
gratulate themselves on this blessed

The Drink a Man Needs.
An average man requires fifty-nine
ounces of food per diem. He needs
thirty-seven ounces of water for drink¬
ing, and in breathing he absorbs
thirty ounces of oxygen. He eats as
as much water as he drinks, so much
of that fluid being contained in vari¬
ous foods. In order to supply fuel
for running the body machine and to
make up for waste tissue he ought to
swallow daily the equivalent of twenty
ounces of bread, three ounces of po¬
tatoes, one ounce of butter and one
quart of water. The body of a man
weighing 154 pounds contains ninety
six pounds, or forty-six quarts, of
water.
