I was also conscious that when he saw me he a fltjlPt Anri titnlr n. ■ tan 4.nurat*ri me with hla hand outstretched. And yet all that did not recall me suffi ciently from my thoughts to enable me to realize clearly „ust what was happening. I said, in an absent way, •How do you doP1 and walked on as if I were in the habit of seeing him every day or as if I were only slightly ac quainted with him. Even in tbal minute I was awake to the fact that there was a queer light in his face and that he returned my bow very stiffly. "It was not until 1 had gone a couple of square; down the avenue that it flashed into my mind that the man was one of my oldest and most intimate friends, whom I had not seen in several years, and that when he had started to greet me cordially I had worse than 'cut’ him by giving him a cold bow. I then, as a man will da turned to hurry back after him. but of course, he was gone.” Here is another extreme case which seems improbable, but for the truth of which the writer can vouch. A New Yorker who made a trip to Cal ifornia was met at the pier in Oakland by a man, who rushed up to him and wrung bis hand heartily. "How do you da Will?” cried the stranger with delight • 1 heard you were coming and I thought you would like to have me meet you.” The New Yorker looked at the other man in blank astonishment •Tm afraid,” he said, 'that there is some mistake.

I can’t imagine what you can mean.” “Oh. if that’s the case,” was the re ply In tones of indignation, “I mill not trouble you. But just to refresh your very remarkable memory I propose to tell you that I know you. I am your oousin, George-.

'‘The girl had been bitten by a mad doe',” said the business woman, "and had neglected to have the wound cauterized, although it was much in flamed and the marks of the animal’s teeth showed plainly. Her grand mother tried the old-fashioned reme dies; they put milk poultices and things on it and the girl came to the office regularly and went on with her work. * One day. about two weeks after the accident she came to my dealt Her eyes were glittering with fever, her face burning, and her features seemed swollen.

"She had (and reco'srsd from), not hydrophobia, but a very severe case of diphtheria!” There was an audible oilenoe and then a general sigh of relief. A Snake la Armor. While gathering flowers in the woods a farmer recently stirred up a snake, which he attempted to kill with a stone. Contact of the stone with the snake's body gave .back a metallic sound, and thereupon he hammered the reptile upon the head until it was dead. He then discovered that two-thirds of the snake’s body was inoased in a seotlon of gas pipe one inch in diameter. Whether the snake had crawled into the pipe when young and grown fast or was wearing it for Self-protection is a conundrum. Hard to Kill.
