When Dr. W..M. Clark lived with his
family in tholxtli.Diatrict of Davidson
County, he owaicd a small nit dog. an
English terrier, named Jack. Jack was
a remarkable dog. On one occasion he
killed one hundred rats, and when he
came out of the pit was hardly recog
nized by his friends. His cars were
gone, and his legs and throat wore as
raw as a picce-of un-ooked beef liver.
Hut ho killed the nits, and won v
wager.
On anotIicToceasion Jack had a fight
with a coon and came out victorious,
3il4ing the coon in the third round. He
luJd atimcrous ights with fighting dogs

ho alKasya came out victorious. His
manner lighting :tlog was to watch
his chance? and :vize him by one of his
cars. Once Lis teeth were fastened
here, there ?as no getting him loose
until his antagonist squealed enough
and started on a dead run for homo with
his tail stored Jiafoly away lictwecn his
legs. Whenever this would happen
Jack would let up on his enemy and
whine tor other enemies to con pier.
Rut Jack's ch'cf triumph was when

One day whilo visiting his neighbor.

sqttired himself for a fight. Jack held
hini1f off until he found an opportunity
to ciiUh him by the oar. and then ho
went in. Jack was a great jumper. In
tli's instance ho made his greatest leap
and landed on tho back of his enemy.
Quickly sebiug him by the car. the d6
kept his body out of reach of tho bear7
and inserted Iris sharp teeth for all they
were wortlu Tho bear fought with
spirit, and made vigorous ofTorts to send
Jack to grass, bt all in vain. That
dog would not let go. Finally the beitr,
almost exhausted , gave up in despair,
and as plain as a bcarean speak ac

every" man on the place to pull Jack off.
and it is believed he would have killed,

A youth of Ncxv York stabbed thb
girl with whom he wrs supposed to bo
madly in love. He was arrested. Tho
wounded giri requested to be allowed to
refuse to testify against him, but her
request was not granted. The case was
continued and the prisoner was re
leased on bail. Then tho young people
went before a priest and were married.
This step was taken on the advice of
lawvers, who opine that inasmuch as a
wife is not allowed by New York law to
testify against her husband, ths girl's
testimony can not be received, even
though the events to which she could
speak happened before the marriage

the fineness and beauty of her hair,

After much discussion, the committee
of a certain clu' in a remote Russian
town has drawn up the following set of
rules for the guManee of its members.
The code seems to be as Draconian as
it is original:
(1) No one shall enter tho club with
dirty boots. (2) No one shall wear his
workaday clothes if they are impreg
nated with unpleasant smells, nuch as a
scent of fish, leather, p t h. etc. (3)
At the club dances black cloth is laid
down as the correct dress. (4) In bad
weather, when tho streets are muddy,
atl members of tho club must wear shp
iiers, so as not to dirty the door. (5)
Whoever shall dare to put in an appear
ancc at a club ball in a velvet waistcoat
or a green cravat renders himself liable
to a tine of a ruble and a half, to be put
aside for the benefit of the musicians.
(6) (A very stringent rule this). It is
expressly forbidden that any member,
in the course of a soiree dansante, shall
use the ball-room curta:ns for a pocket
handkerchief. If he does be will be ig
nominiously kicked out. (7) The man
who smokes (also at a so'rec dansantc)
in the portion of the clnb set aside (or
ladies shall be instantly fined twenty
live kopecks, to go towardthc purchase
of powder or cau do Cologne for the
ladies. (8) No-member who mav han-
pen to be exhilarated, no matter how
late in the evening, shall be allowed to
introduce the can -can in a set of quad
rilles. The other rales prescribe that bo one
whoistipsv "beyond the bounds of de
cency" shall remain ia the ball-room.
The buffctier shall be responsible for
ch persons which seems rather hard
