Story of a Careful Man.
~He was a careful and thoughtful
man. In fact, if may be said that
he was an extremely careful and
thoughtful Mane». -
He was resting comfortably in his
easy chair with his feet resting on a
footrest when he discovered that his
j pencil needed sharpening, Any
other man would have taken out his
knife and begun work at once, but.
he was too thoughtful for that, also
toocareful.
He sighed, got up out of his chair
and went across the room for a lit-
tle waste paper basket that was
standing inthecorner. Then he re-
turned to his seat in the easy chair
and placed the basket on the floor
between his legs. .
His wife smiled approvingly, and
he felt proud of himself.
é opened his knifé, leaned-over
his basket and began work on the
pencil. |
oIt is just as easy to be careful
and thoughtful,�T he said as he de-
tached the first shaving from the
| end of the pencil,
TG is,� replied his wife as she fol-
lowed the shaving with her eye and
~saw it goover his shoulder and land
on the carpet behind him.
But why continue? There are few
who have not tried to sharpen a pen-
cil over.a small basket in some mo-
ment of temporary insanity.
When he had finished, there were
three shavings in the basket, and
the rest were on the floor,.
That is usually the way it hap:

oThe anebi man I Ss ever met
~| was not on the field of battle,� he be-
ae oHe -wasa soldier, but I know |
little about his military record, and
yet when I say he was the bravest
man I ever w I think I know
what I am talking about. We were
campaigning in:India, and for some
months the command had simply
been idling time away.. We were
| all thoroughly tired of a life of rou-
| tine military inactivity, and finally
a party of five of us secured a two
weeksT leave of absence, which we
| proposed to spend in a hunt for big
| game.
oOne of our number ~was a senior
regimental officer, who had been
through ten yearsT service in India.
He had been the guiding spirit of
our expedition. Seated a few feet
| away from him and to his left was
a young junior company officer,
who had but recently joined the
command, We had been eating
fruit, which was of a kind that
bears a very peculiar scent. It isa
tradition that this native fruit has a
strong attraction for several varie-
ties of venomous reptiles, which are
peculiar to that climate. I at least
am convinced that there is some-
thing more than tradition in it.
~o~As Ihave said, we were talking
of adventures when, in a moment of
silence, the bluff old regimental offi-
cer, looking steadily at the young
lieutenant to his left, slowly said:
o*Do you think you could keep
your presence of mind under the|~*
most trying circumstances, when
your life depended upon your oool-
ness and courage?T
oDead silence followed the colo-
nelTs question, and the young offi-
cer, looking quizzically at his inter-
rogator, replied:
Yes, Ithink I could.T "
~oo*Then the time has come when
you must be put to the test, - Move
not a muscle until I tell you, oz ¥en
are a dead man,T
oThen ~the ~bronzed ~oa wa hicr
slowly drew his pistol from his hol-
ster, and, taking deliberate aim, he
fired a shot at the very feet of the
man to whom he had addressed his:
ominous question. For the space of a
second we all sat like statues; then
the colonel, in a tone of relief, ex-
claimed :
~ItTs all right now, boys. ITve
killed it.T
~~We were all on our feet in an in-
stant, eager to know what danger
had threateried our young comrade.
At his feet lay the coiling, squirm-
ing body of a huge cobra, the most
venomous reptile that haunts the
jungles of India. I think the man
who calmly faced that danger was
the bravest man ITve ever met,� said
the major, and no one dissented."

MISTAKEN: ~ioéntrry.
fhere Was a Vast Difference In the Two
Cases In Question, "
The other day at Montezuma
while two citizens were conversing
at the depot anegro approached and
addressed one of them as follows:
**Kurnel, I hTar yoT wants to git a}
man out on de plantashun.�
oYes, I want a man out there,"
replied the colonel as he looked the
negro over. ~~Seems to me I've seen
you before.�T .
; oReckon not, sah. ITze new roun
here.�
**But ITm sure ITveseen you some-
where. Let's see. I was over at
Perry the other day.TT
**Yes, sali, yoT wuz ober to Perry.�
*~And while there I called at the
il. 9
Yom, sab, yoT called at de jail.
Dey has got a powerfnl nice jail
ober to Perry.�
oAnd while at the jail I saw a col-
cred 8 an who was ~serving a sen-
tence or stealing a hog.�
oNo doubt of it, kurnel. Yes, yoT
dun saw a cullTd pusson right in dat
jail at Perry.�T
-**And you are the man,�T said the
colonel as he Jaid his hand on the
negroTs shoulder. "
~JesT so, kurnel; jesT so. _I was
right in dat jail at Perry, an I dun
*members of sevin yoT pass along.
Curious what a memTry some white
folks has in deir heads,�T
~But you donTt suppose I want a
man who has been in jail for steal-
ing, do you?TT exclaimed the colonel.
**No, sab; no, sah. Of coTse yoT
donTt.T DatTs what ITze here to dis.
plain. about.. YoT got it all wrong
~bout dat hog, kurnel. De pusson
who dun stole de hog wuz asleep
when yoT called, I wuznTt in dat
jail for stealin no hog. ITze no such
man as dat.�T
~Then what were you in for?TT
~oWhy, dey said dem two bags er
cottonseed meal what dey found in
my cart wuz tooken from de depoT.�T
~Oh, I see. ~Well, what's the dif.
ference?�T
~~WhatTs de difference? Heaps
-oT difference, sah. On de one band,
ITze loadin, up a barTl oT salt arter
dard, an dem bags jesT tainblod into
my cart while my back wuz turned.
On de odder hand, a pusson. goes out
by daylight an runs a hog arounT
de woods for ober two hours before
a
kurnel. I did reckon I'd like to
~work on yoT plantashun, but if yoT
am de sort 0T man who canTt see de
difference between a pusson restin
inT jail to obleege de jury an bein
sent to jail for stealin a hog I
couldn't trust my reputashun in yoT
hands. Good mawnin, kurnel; good

He Built.a Dam.
All kinds of animals do wonderful
things without ever being taught.
Each in its own line inherits an edu-
cation which in common lJanguage
goes by the name of instinct. The
WomanTs Journal gives this story of
& beayer:
A college professor in Maine tells
how he convinced a friend who did
not believe that beavers could build
adam. He bought a baby beaver
of a hunter and sent it to his skeptic-
al friend.
The creature became a great pet in
the house, but showed no signs of
wanting to build a dam until one
Monday morning a leaky pail full of
water was put on. the floor of theT
back kitchen. The beaver was there.
Hea was only a baby, to be sure, but
the moment he saw the water oozing
out of a crack in the pail he scam-
pered into the yard, broughtin achip
and began his work.
His owner was called and watched
the little fellow, very much aston-
ished at what he saw. He gave or-
ders to have the pail left where it
was,,and the industrious beaver |:
