FABLES.
From the Kautas Malt and llreeti,
An alocky youth who was visiting
tlio mid-way during a street fair wns
having n vuat denl of fun with 0110
of those rubber return bulls. For n
good while the young mnti continued
to pelt everybody that passed with
that ball. It annoyed a good many of
the people and made some of them n
trillo hot, and onco in a while a party
woul I give tlio youth a few samples of
his opinion in icgnrd to people who
tnndu uuisnneus of themselves in gon
eral and those with rubber bulls in p. r
lie u I ar, hut ns no one stopped to lay
violent hands on the young mnn his
feeling of enjoyment increased. The
fautthatit annoyed tlio ptoplo added
to his stock of j y and ho cackled an
idiotic ciickIo as ho throw the ball with
greater vigor. After a whilo there
came one of those maidens who did tho
lira danco and other feats of grace and
agility. Tho maiden didn't look to be
so very big, but a careful view of her
person showed that she was muscled
like a husky hired man. As sho passed
the ulccky youth, going on her way
from ono booth to nnothor, ho play
fully hit her on tho noso with his littlo
rubber return ball and then started to
give his oheorful and idiotic ohucklo.
Hut somehow tho dancing maid did
not seem to fall in wilh the young
man's idea of a joke. She didn't say a
word but simply turned and swatted
him on tho point of tho jtw with her
right. By tho time the alocky youth
had recovered suflloiently to bo able to
sit up and tako notico tho maiden was
back at her bootli going through tho
firo danco and throwing a costumt
around which tho barker who was talk
ing for the show said had something
over 200 yards of stuff in it. And
when tho akeky youth had sort of
gathered himself together and rocovor
od his knnwlcdpo of directions snfll
cionily to know straight up, ho put tho
littlo rubber return ball in bis pocket
and went out of tho grounds without
saying another word. And it was gen
erally conceded by those who know
tho youth that he really learned mora
wisdom there in two minutes than ho
had learned in nil tho years ho had
been at school.
About tho only way to tench an alcck
wisdom is to jolt hi in good and plenty.

Thero was onco a lawyer who had

tho judge and his family took these
summer excursions for tho railroad
companies and the Pullman company

Unco a family who had a fear of bur
glars, persuaded tho old man to get a
dog The man of tho houso fell in
with tho idea nnd purchased a snuff
colored canine of modium size to watch
the premises. And tho dog who wns
proud of tho fact that ho had been
selected as a guardian, determined
that ho would earn his keep. Tho llrst
night tho dog didn't put in nny time in
slumber at nil, but kept up a barking
at ono thing and another all night.
About every live minutes ho would
mako a grand rush out into tho yard
as if ho saw somothing out tbera that
ought to bo swallowed right away. In
this wny ho managed to keep the wholo
family awake most of the night and
tho lead of tbo familv put on his
clothes four different times to go dawn
and seo what tho dog had treed. Tho
family, and especially the old man,
wero considerably weary the next morn
ing, but they excused tho dog ou tho
ground that ho wasn't familiar with
tho premises nnd that, his actions wero
duo to over zeal. Tho hired girl was
ordered to feed tho dog well and tho
man of tho house even patted him on
tho head. Tho dog concluded that he
huil mado a ten strike iiutl that day ho
put in eleven hours sleeping in order
that ho might bo ready for tho next
night's work. As soon ns tho family
had retired tho dog commenced to re
pent the program of tho previous night
with a few extra frills. That night tho
man of tlio house got up and dressed
ilvo different times, feeling sure each
time that tbo dog must have something.
And whon, along toward morning, the
man becamo convinced that tho dog
was simply disturbing tho atmosphere
with his barks without having any oc
casion for the same, ho wont out and
spoko to him in emphatic acd profane
manner. Sovoral of the neighbor men
nlso cntuo out and gavo their opinion
of a dog that had no mora sense than
to keep the neighbors awake with his
burking and charging around about
nothing. And tho next morning tho
man of tho houso took down a black
snnko whip from whero it had been
banging' in tho stablo and drove the
watch iog from tho premisos. That
afternoon as tlio dog was wandering
around looking for a bone, ho met an
other dog and told him his sorrows.
"My unfortunate friend," remuikcd tho
other dog, "if you had only half as
much dense as you hnvo zeal, you
would havo held that job as long as
you lived."
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That

A Kausas pappr asks thoqtiostion,
"llo.v doos it happen so many reform
ers aro dead beats?" Wo suppose it
is on account of tho fact that they
spend so much tiino tending to other
people's business they havo no time to
engage in holiest toil. Without honest
toil they icceivo no recompense and
have to subsist on tho honest toll of
others. We have somo of those poopla
