I may remark, incidentally, that
there is something about the atmos
phere of a livery that has a stimulat
ing effect on the imagination. There
is more unostentatious lying done by
old men who sit around in hide bot
tom chairs, in the shade in front of
Texas livery stables, cnewmg to
bacco and whittling sticks, than in
all the Court Houses in the country.
On this occasion there were several
old frosty-faced veterans of pre
adamic Texas, swapping yarns about
killing Mexicans and Indians, and
hunting buffaloes and mustangs.
They seemed to lie without the slight
est effort. Mendacity seemed to roll
out of their mouths by the mile. I
also noticed that when any of them
told a particularly tougn ne, me
others seemed pained, and immedi
ately one of them would get off a
much tougher yarn.
One of them was a white-bearded
old son of Anania3 by the name of
Dempsey. Jtie was a stage-ariver oy

A oc Fanning the Baby.
Dog stories are always in order,
provided they are true. A gentle
man in one of the suburban wards of
Pittsburg owns a fine specimen of
the spaniel breed which is very fond
of children, and when tho little ones
visit his master's house constitutes
himself their companion, playmate,
and guardian. A few days ago a
lady with an infant visited the gen
tleman, ana in tne course 01 uie aay
the child was laid on a pillow on the
floor to amuse itself for a time. The
doe took his place near the little one,
as usual. The day was hot and the
flies bad, and they made the baby
the target of frequent attacks. This
rendered ner restless. uoggie
watched her for a few minutes, and
then, walking close up, with his
nose or paw drove away every fly as
soon as it lit on the baby's face, and
did it so cently, too, as not to dis
turb her in the least. The dog's
actions attracted the attention of the
mother and others, who were filled
with astonishment at his thoughtful
kindness. The story has the merit
of truth.
A gentleman, whose family con
sists of a wife and twin girl babies,
came in very late one night and
went to bed.
His sleep was broken, and he
tossed and tumbled and muttered
something about "two of a kind"
and a "small pair."
"Poor John," murmured his wife,
"he is tired, and is dreaming of the
children." New York Sun.

" I had fever and acer when I shot
that buffaler bull's tail off," ex
claimed Smoot, "and I had just
taken about half a pound of quinine,
and my hands war a leetle shaky.
Aq annn an T had shot off thnt hull's
tail, he turned and came at me in a
hurrv so I made for the nearest tree."
" i have had the same thing hap
pen to me a billion times, I reckon.
The buffaler caught you on his horns,
and chucked voti up in the tree didn't
he?" interrupted uempsey, wno was
anxious to head off the impending
lie, which threatened to be a whopper.
"I've had 'em do that to me, too,"
resumed Smoot, " but this one druv
his horns six incites into mo tree on
both sides of me, and he couldn't
get them out again. Thar I "was
Einned to the tree, and so was the
uffaler. I warn't hurt a bit. and the
buffaler couldn't get away."
Old Dempsey was silent a few
minutes, during which pause he ex-

the enercv of a clothes wrincer.
There was a vigor and freshness
about Smoot's lie that almost mad
dened him with jealousy.
"Them sort of things happened
most every day when me and Jack
Haj'es was in the range business."
" 1 was right slim and thin in them
davs," resumed Smoot, " and I grad

so to speak. I patted the buffaler on
the head, ana taikea Eoit to mm, ana
I got him so gentle, that if ho had
been a cow I could have milked him.
At last I got out, but it was a blank
tight squeeze. I walked off and left
him thar, fast to the tree by his
horns."
"That buffaler must have had
mighty long horns," sneered Demp
sey; "I never seed a buffaler with

"I never told a he in my life,
Dempsey. That was the only lone
horned buffaler I ever saw, and I
reckoned I've killed a billion or so of
bufialers. Thar was at least eight or
ten inches of his horn druv in ter
that tree, and there was about a foot
or so of horn outside of the tree, when
I walked off and left him anchored
fast."
" Is that stump-tailed buffaler
standing thar yit? " asked Dempsey,
dousness of this lie.
" I reckon the coyotes eat him up,
