A !K Philosopher.
Not long .since I hud an excellent op
portunity of observing one of tho rovers.
I nm not learned in rani no varieties,
but should suppose he was somo kind
of mongrel terrier. Anyhow, ho was
nn odd little creature, with body de-
idedly long in proportion to tho legs,
with a gray and brownish coat, which
was so thin as to give him a mangy
look, and, lastly, with u moist, (senti
mental eye. If dogs had their religious
sects ono would set litin down as a
Methodist. Ho belonged, with two
other doL's, to a friend of initio, who
used to bring them to my hotiso when
picking mo up in his morning walk.
Tho odd littlo creattiro contrasted
strongly with another of tho trio, who
was about his own size, in tho sedato
ness of his maimer and his philosophic
indiiToreiico to small can i no worries.
Thus it was not uncommon to see
his companion mentally upset by tho
sight of u butcher's cart proceeding, ius
ho no doubt thought, at an indecorous
ly wild pace. Or his usual sorenity
would now and again bo rudely broken
by tho appearance of neat, or even tluit
apparently harmless creature, tho cat's
victim, the sparrow, which ho would
pursue in a frenzy of rage, leaping in
impotent wrath underneath tho treo to
which tho uiinblo littlo ureaturo would
naturally betake itself for shelter.
Nono of theta) things moved our ca
nhio philosopher. Ho paid not the
slightest heed to his companion's vio
lent ruslnngs mid barkings. As became
thinker, his voice was rarely heard.
I have soon him set tion by his more
mercurial companion in a lit of ob

Here aro two stories of Maine sheriffs. Tho

ho went with n warrant to arrest a certain
farmer. He found him in the field and made
known his errand. "All right." said the
farmer, a big burly fellow, "I'm ready." and
with that ho lay down at full length on the
ground. "IJut you don't expect me to carry
you, do youf" asked tho sheritr. "Certainly,
you must take my body, you know." "Will
you wait till I get a teamf "Can't say,"
and the upshot was that tho sheriff went
back without his prisoner Tho other sheriif
was a Franklin county man, likewise, small,

ous offender, a ','00 pounder, and found him
on tho hillside. Grinning at tho ofllcer. he
lay back on tho grass, saying, "If you get
