"It came out, as I Journeyed on horse
back through Dakota, that almost eT
ory settler's land was under mortgage,"
said a westerner, "and one day, when
I came upon a pioneer seated on the
grass by the roadside, with a troubled
look on his face, I asked him If it was
the mortgage he was worrying about
"'Wuss than that, stranger,' he re

Yes, sir, you can put it down as an aw

Barns and Tarn Snmaon.
Tarn Somson was a gray haired vet
eran sportsman, who on one occasion,
when out moorfowl shooting and feel
ing the weight of years begin to press
upon htm, expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be bis lust and de
sired, In somewhat tragic style, that
he might die and be burled in the
moors.
Burns, hearing of this, Immediately
composed his famous elegy, In which
he related at length the exploits and
skill of his hero, ending each verse
with the plaintive line, "Tain Sumson'i
dead."
Some oue having told Samson that
Burns had written a poem "a gey
queer one" about him, he sent for the
poet and In something like wrnth asked
hlra to read what he had written. On
bearing the recital of Us exploits he
smiled grimly and seemed by uo means
displeased. "But," he exclaimed, "I'm
no' dead yet Robin. Wherefore should
ye sny that I'm dead?" Burns retired
for a few minutes; then he returned
and recited to Tam the following verse,
which he had composed In the Inter
val: FUR CONTRA.

nantlnv Baboon In Sonth Africa.
The baboons which frequent this
rocky country are so destructive to the
Block farms that organized raids have
to be made upon them. It Is useless
trying to net a shot at the baboon dur
ing the day, he Is a wily creature and
knows the deadly effects of a rifle Just
as well ns the hunter.
Early In the morning the party leave
the farm and quietly surround the
kranz, or rock, where the unsuspecting
baboons are sleeping. At the first
break of da wo the head baboon Is on
the move, to see that everything Is
right. . He no sooner makes an appear
ance than he Is greeted with a shower;
of lend. In an IiiHluut the whole troop
Is In an uproar. They rush hither and
th'Mier, howling with rase and pain,
looking for a place of escape. Hut few
of them succeed. Directly the hunters
have retired, the blacks, who have
been following up the party, make a
rush for the tails of the baboons.
Sometimes they are In so great a hurry
to secure these that they fall to ob
serve that the baboon Is not (lend and
an ugly, bite or tear Is the result. The
tails are taken to tho magistrate's of
fice, where a reward of 2s. Cd. each l
paid for them by government. Loudon
Chronicle.
