THE TALE OF A DOG. A TRUTHFUL NARRATIVE OF CANINE TENACITY AND SAGACITY. A.S the Story of the Feat Was Related l»> a Preacher Who Uhu n Tarty to the Incident So Further Tmtlniouy Is Secessary. A certain Nashville statesman Is •!x>ut one of the best story tellers in Tennessee, and his repertoire includes a lot of good ones, fish and otherwise. On the truthfulness of some he will stake his reputation for verAcity, but he tells one which he always prefixes with the statement that it was told him by a minister of the gospel. Dr. Bardwell, who will be remembered here by the older inhabitants as the assistant of Dr. Edgar of revered memory, who was pastor of the First Presbyterian church during the latter years of General Andrew Jackson’s life and attended the old hero In his last illness. The story teller said: “Dr. Bardwell used to visit my father’s house when I was a boy, and the story I am about to tell you was related to me on the occasion of one of these visits. We were out on the veranda smoking one evening after supper. The doctor was fond of dogs and was a pretty, good sportsman and naturally the conversation turned on this subject. “ ‘Speaking of dogs.’ said Dr. Bardwell, ‘reminds me of a dog which belonged to a friend of mine in Mississippi. I had been invited to hold services at a church near this friend’s house and wrote him to meet me at the station, some six miles from his house, on ♦he Saturday afternoon before Sunday, the day of the appointment. “‘He was on time with horses, and we started to his home. 1 noticed that a very handsome bird dog followed us, and, having heard that some one In that neighborhood owned an especially well trained trick dog, I asked my friend about It. “ * “That’s the dog," at the same time Pointing at his dog. which had rtiu ahead of us and was waiting at th<i forks of the road. “ ‘I asked him to make him perform a ♦rick. He got down from his horse, called the dog and, taking out his pocketbook, held It to the dog’s nose. He then took out a sliver half dollar and. walking some distance Into the woods, raised up a large rock ami put the money under It. We then resumed our journey, and when prolSibly half a mile aw-ay my friend called his dog and told him to gn back and get the money. “ ‘The dog, without the least hesitation, started back on a run, and, my frlen! explained, as the rock was heavy the dog would be unable to turn it over, so would have to scratch under It to reach the piece of money, and he would not probably get home before we reached there, It then being about three

miles farther on to his house. “ ‘However, when we reached home the dog was uot there. We ate supper, and still the dog did not come, nor had he put in an appearance when we retired at about 10 o'clock. “ ’The next morning we got up about, daylight, and, faring a noise outside, my friend opened the door, and the dog rushed In dragging with him a pair of pantaloons, which be dropped on the floor. “ ’Of course we were both mystified, but had not long to wait an explanation, for shortly afterward a man who lived several miles from my friend's bouse rode up on a mule and inquired If a dog with a pair of pantaloons in his mouth had eome Into tlie house. The dog at this moment came out on the porch, and the man said, “Why, there's the dog now.” " ’My friend told his caller that the dog had really brought a pair of pantaloons home with him. but be did not understand it himself. “ ’The man said that late In tbc after noon the day before be found the dog scratching under a large rock near the road and. thinking he was after a rabbit. stopped and lifted the rock up, and. to his surprise, found a half dollar on the underside. “ 'He put the money In bis pocket, and the dog followed him home. The dog appeared to Im- friendly, and tne man petted him and gave him bls supper. At night when the family retired the dog was put on the outside, but be kept up such a racket that no one could sleep on the place, and when the man opened the door to dilve the log off he rushed Into his liedroom and at once became very quiet, lying down near the foot of the bed. where he slept all night. “ 'Early in the moi ulug. the man said, be got up and opened the window, and the Instant be did so the dog seized his pantaloons in bls mouth nnd, jumping out of the window, fled. “ The man followed as soon as be could get bls mule. “ 'Hearing this story, my friend got the pantaloiws nnd on searching the pockets Niuud the half dollar which he had hid under the rock the afternoon before.'"--Nashville Banner. Ab Ouiraar. Mrs. Jones-Arc you aware, Mrs. Nkinbone, that your dog has Just bitten my little Willie? Mrs. Skinbone—What, your Willie, who has only Just gut over scarlet fever? Oh. Mrs. Jones.

THE HONEYBEE. Its Cortons Jaws and Its Wonderful Little Tonwne. With the closest scrutiny it becomes evident that the bee does not, like other creatures, house its tongue in its mouth, but neatly folds it back beneath its head. Bumbleliees, when disturbed, have away of threatening with their jaws, while the honeybee has the more direct method of settling intruders with her sting. The jaws of the bee are very creditable organs and can give quite a formidable nip. Catch a bee in a net and see how viciously’ it will bite at the ’ meshes, working its jaws sideways la- ■ stead of up and down. We call this wonderful Implement of the bee a tongue, but in reality it is more than this, for the whole arrange-1 meat consists of two slender filaments called maxillae, the under lip and the actual tongue. If a drop of honey lies near the surface of a flower, the slender, active tongue, darting out from the case formed by the maxilla-, licks j it up with the same ease that a dog licks a plate. Should the tube of the flower be elongated the bee has at command another length of tongue, which is shot out from within and shuts up like a telescope when no longer wanted. To appreciate fuiiy this delicate ( organ you should watch the bee separate it into its component parts and | clean It out. The lengthening process of the proboscis, us the tongue and its allied parts are sometimes called, Is accomplished by a series of springs and b'nges. In addition to this telescoping power, the tongue is a hairy member, t’i< hairs arranged in rings, the longest. ones toward the center. They assist in lifting In the nectar and In pumping it into the mouth. Thence it goes to the honey sack. Chautauquan. PITH AND POINT. Very few people want to know the truth unless It fits their prejudice. Every one who doesn't like you Is looking for a chance to laugh at you. A groat deal of nerve Is sometimes neceasary to keep from being cranky. You know a whole lot if you know enough to know you don’t know anything. When a boy Is not Invited to a party, be hangs around the outside to see how things are going. When a dressmaker makes a quilt out of silk scraps, the women begin to look at her with suspicion. Every one Is some kind of a sinner. , The employ co 100 honest to take fl post- | age stamp will steal his employer's time. Be sensible with your children. When you want tfiem to <lo a thing, tell tbi-m why. Don't tell them they must do It or take a boating, or that they must do It because you say so.—Atchison Globe.

Neuralgia, The Prayer of a Nerve for More Blood. Neurxlgix may attack any part of the body but most frequently occurs whera tha nerves are most abundant. In the head. In the face. Sometimes the heart nerves seem to twist. Twinging rheumatic pains of the extremities. Sharp and intense at times. In the intervals dull and heavy. Neuralgia is the result of impoverished blood, caused by impairment of the ne.-ves—-a lack of nerve force. It is a disease of the nerve centers, and the pains accompanying it are a prayer for better nourishment. They are the danger signals which warn you against a total collapse of the nervous system. Liniments and all external applications can only give temporary relief. Permanent cure cannot possibly come until the nerve centers are thoroughly revitalized by Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills. The beneficial effects of th-s great nerve restorative are felt thrilling through the nerve fibres as week by week and month by month the nerve force of the body is restored. Women afflicted with diseases peculiar to their sex are frequently great sufferers from neuralgia. Dr. Chase's Nerve Pills posilively cure loth these disorders by filling the nervous system with new vigor and life. 50 cents a box at all dealers, or Dr. A. W. Chaes Medicine Co.. Buffalo. N. Y.
