Cobb, the step-father, went to Ver- to Attend XiiMCftL There are many nnimals tnft| the su­ perstitious consider it unlucky to kill. Among them may be nientloued a lady­ bird, a martin, a robin, a stork and & money spider, while to kill a wren means that you will break a bone be­ fore the year is out. Many animals are also supposed to herald .death, and su­ perstitions in this direction are so nu­ merous that only a few can be men­ tioned here. The most commonly known is the clicking or tapping of the beetle called a death watch, which is reckoned as an omen of death to some one in the bouse. The howling of a dog at night near a house is supposed to predict the death of a sick inmate, as also the setting of a white pigeon on a bouse bodes death to some one in the house, while, again, an old saying among the superstitious runs, "No person can die on a bed or pillow containing the feathers of a white pigeon." That the gnawing of furniture by rats presages death 1$ also a common superstition. To meet certain animals is considered lucky, while to meet oth­ ers Is the reverse. For instance, to meet a sow with a litter of pigs is very lucky, but it is unlucky if a sow crosses a traveler's path. To meet a weasel Is lucky, but should a hare run across the road in fttait Of yon it augurs bad fortune. F«i(«d ike Bottle Too <kvicklr. Will Low, the painter, told a story of the Latin quarter days of Robert Louia Stevenson. Low and Stevenson were great friends In their youth. Their friendship indeed continued up to the time of the writer's death. "Louis," said the artist, "was no less diplomatic than brave, fie could be fiery, and he could also be gracious and pacific. One night, I remember, we sat in a garden in Montmartre. The red wine had been flowing pretty free­ ly, and one of our party got heated and aggressive. "Finally some one said a thing that this fighting chap disliked. As soon as the words were spoken he grabbed up a bottle ana hurled it at the other's head. It Was a strong, true shot and would have hit the mark had not Ste­ venson sprung to his .feet and caught the missile. " 'Tut, tut, George,' he said to the thrower; tut, tut. If the bottle Is passed so quickly, non<vof us will be able to stand oat the Evening."--New York Tribune. s Betioa to B« Happy. What is the use of being at Odd* with the world? What Is the use of being blue and despondent? The world is full of trials for us all--has plenty Of trouble and worry to hand out even to the best of us from time to time. Bnt there wonld be no need for men and women--we could all be babes--If there were no great life problems to solve, no burdens to bear, no sorrows to live down. These are the balance wheels of life. They ate the trials vro have to face in order to strengthen us and broaden us to the opportunities and the real happiness that riches do not command nor poverty- bar.--New York Mail and Expressr The Butler W»i Ik Doubt. The recent St Andrew's dinneti, ac­ cording to the Westminster Gazette, have been noteworthy for the profu­ sion of Scotch stories, which in several cases fairly set the tables In a roar. Some of them have an ancient ring, but there is one that is perhaps not' generally known. A doctor was at­ tending a dangerous case where a Scotch butler was engaged. On calling ifi the forenoon he said to Donald, "I hope your master's temperature - is much lower today than it was last night" "I'm no' sae very sure aboot that" replied the batler, "tor be dee'd this morning." An Authority. Peter McArthur was once talking With a friend when be quoted another man as a financial authority. Hls^ friend disputed the right of the person quoted to be considered an expert. Mr. 3 McArthur insisted that the man had a right to speak like an oracle. 'What is your definition, of an- au­ thority?" asked his friend. "My idea of an authority," retorted Mr. McArthur, "is g person who bluffs beyond my limit." • - - "l* Strained It took place in a dairy. , ' , The dairyman was pouring large quantities of milk through a fine wire netting. There were microbes in the milk. Other microbes by the hundred were sitting on the edge of the crock and gayly looking on. Their relations were being strained.-' Baltimore American. TV r SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP Cnff4 l»jr One Bottle of OJMunborlnla'a Cough Remedy. "When I bad an attack of grip l*at winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Congh Remedy, "'says Frank W. Perry, Editor,of the Enterprise, Shortsville. N. T. "This is the honest trnth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaftpoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I wonld take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the ooqgh would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most ag- greeable surprise is putting it very mild­ ly. I had no idea that it wonld or could knock ont the grip, simply be­ cause I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the rem­ edy caussd it to not only be of lees dur­ ation, bat the pains were far less se­ vere, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."
