lica -Lifting hU pip, and banging
one It'tf over the other, "I had a dog
thHt roulil wmell a 'po-nun a mile off,
an when he went after one there
waru't no p ttin' away from blm.
The dojc'a name waa Bob. Bob wan
r Hinart e dogn air generally put
up, an' 'twuu a mighty ahame how
he come to git killed. Hut that
uin't nuther here nor there. I wus
goin ter tell you bow Bob, ei ttmart
z he wiw, got hU come uppence
once when he was tryiu' to corner a
'jlCCWUIII.
"TwflH purty early in the fall. I'd
beii over to Jim Ieechea to a corn
hUNkin'. Jim in them days lived
over iu what wait called Little Brook
Valley, an' to make a short trip I al
Iuh cut acroM lot.
" 'Twuu long about midnight an
eittin' kinder fronty. The moon was
Hhinin' almoHt es bright eas day an
Iioh, who was along, wuu noain
round the lots, like he alwus waa,
look in' for trouble.
"I wan wiilkin' along purty brink
thinkin' over the husklu' and the
ooplo thnt was there, when my at
tention wuu attracted by a peculiar
noise from over the wall in the next
lot.
"I HloiiiK'd and listened an' I beer
cd it agin. It aounded aumpthin
like a bark an' suinpthin' like a dog
yelnin'. an' yet It didn't aeem to be
clear enouirh fcr either. I whin! led
t' Boh, but he didn't come, an' I fin
ally concluded that 'twus him 1 was
lieiirln', an' hiw1cIouh thai sumpthin
had haened to 'im I started toward
the sound.
"When I got up t' the wall I
loaned on it an' looked around
About twenty-five feet from me kid
a big chestnut log that bed been left
there years before when Ham Illets
run his saw mill In Kphrlam Hoi
comb's medder. The heart o' the log
lmd rotted. At one end there wus
big hole, an, at tho other 'twuu about
llg enough fer a good sized cat 'l
crawl through.
" 'Twusn't the log that Interested
mo as much as 'twus the 'oum that
was dancin' around the big hole in
the end of it. He was cavortin
around in the moonlight ei playful
rr. a kitten. I'd watched 'lm about
a half a mlnit I guess when ho sud
denly juniKHl up an' dove for the
holo In the end of the log. Then
there was a yelp an' I knew that Bob
wus In the log an' coundn't git out,
I seen the whul thing In a mlnit
You see that air 'poasura hed got
Bob all worked up fool In' around the
log an' then made straight fer tho
log, with the dog after 'im. Into
the log he went at one end and out
at tho other. Bob couldn't git out
the small end an' there wasn't room
enough fer 'im ter turn around in the
log. All ho could do was to back,
out. The 'possum k no wed that, and
gittin' around to the big end, when
tho hindquarters of the dog showed
up, it gave them a couple o' sharp
nips, an' that was what made Bob
howl an' kep' 'im inside the log. He
wus purty plucky but he didn't have
the nerve t' back out agin the 'pm
sum's teeth.
'I didn't want the dog ter git all
bit up, so I Jut jumped over the wall
an' started fer the 'poesuin, calkerla-
tin' ter kill it with my cane, but the
critter run around an' shot inter the
small end o' the log like a rat Inter a
hole, no' about the time tho 'possum
went inter one end Bob comes out o'
the other without waitin' fer orders.
"The animal wus in the log, but
't wasn't exactly plain ter me how I
wus goin' ter get 'im out. The dog
wus watching one end au' I had my
eye on the other. I wus afraid that
ef I went to the wall ter git astdn ter
stop up the hole nt the small end the
critter would sneak out and get
away. I tried ter get Bob to go in
side an' drive the '(swum up ter the
small end, where I could git at 'im
with the cane, but you couldn't
got the dog Inside o, that air log agin
with a yolk of oxen an' a chain.
"I thought an' thought, an' finally
sat down on the log ter think, all the
time keeping my eye on the hole. 1
was hound ter have the 'possum. I
didn't MTHse ter give 'im up. After
I'd thought about an hour it come to
me all of a suddint that I could staff
my cost Inter the small hole till I
could run to the wall an' get a stone.
I hauled otf my coat an' shoved
it inter the hole. It didn't fit very
tight, but I concluded that 'twould
answer the purpose till 1 could got
tack. But it didn't. When I got
back the coat was gone. That air
pesky 'possum hod pulled It Inter the
log an' I could Just touch it with my
cane. That made me madder 'n ever,
an' I swore I'd have the critter ef it
took me all night.
K cold e It wus, I pulled off my
lioot and britches an' stuffed them
Inter the hole. They fitted tight.
Then I run fer the wall, makln' a
mighty Interestin' figure in the moon
light, I reckon, without enny coat,
britches or boot, on. I got the stun
and wus Uuk t' the log in a jiffy.
The boots and britches wus there, an'
I got Vn en ea quick ei I could, then
I put the titun t the hole, got eome
more an' stopped up tot her end o' the
log and weal borne ter get an ax,
an' a gun, calkerlatln ter get the
'possum or know the reason why.
"I didn't go back till daylight, an'
I worked like the old Harry fer two
hours choppln' that log an' trying
ter get the 'possum out of It. But I
didn't see nutbin' of the animal.
Finally I got suspicious an' getting a
pole rolled the log over, an' jest ex I
hed begun to expect, there wus a hole
inter which the 'poasam had disap
peared. The lower side of the log
had rotted through, and right under
it wus a bnrrow. I put water In the
hole and tried smokln' the 'possum
out, but I don't reckon I wus enny
madder'a Bob waa."
Petitioner refilled his pipe, took a
fresh light and said: "I've hoerd a
good many folks say that a 'possum
can't fight. That he's a peaceful ani
mal with nothing in tin but tricks
and deviltry, but I know better, fer
I see that same dog Bob get one of
the thunder! nest llckena a dog ever
got, and 'twus give Mm by a 'pos
sum.
"One afternoon tho dog so' myselt
was huntin' 'round Oibson's crick
seeln' what we could find. We wui
up to within 100 yards or so ofjEly
nsn bouse when up Jura pot I a . pos
sum from behind a humock an
started fer the fish house.
"I reckon the critter had a hole
where he could crawl Inter the build
In' snmewheres, but Bob didn't give
Mm a chance ter git to it. He wus
arter him like a thousand of bricks,
'an seein' that be'd have to fight or
get killed, runnin', the 'possum
backed up agin the fish house and
tort o' Invited the dog to come on
"Bob wan'tslow to do it, nuther
He made a dive at the 'possum, an
got raked across the eyes an' a nip
In the neck that astonished blm, an
be catae back a few steps to think it
over. I had never seen a 'possum
fight, an' thinking this would be
fuss-class chance to do so, I stood still
and watched It.
"Bob got his spnnk ter goin' purty
soon an' sailed Inter the 'possum
agio' but when he landed the 'pos
sum wasn't there. He got out of
the way quickern' lightnin' and give
the dog a nip in the fore leg that
made him howl.
' I knowed there was goin' ter be
some fun fer I could see that Bob
wus getting madder every mlnit, an
knowin, that he wusn't to he sneezed
at fur his fighting qualities and hav
in' the Idee that 'possums couldn't
ffght much ennyhow, I wus sure that
the dog would get -the best of the
scirmmage.
"Bob licked the spot where the
'possum bit Mm and then sailed inter
Mm agin. Talk about quick moving
critters, that air 'possum worked eg
if he wui on springs an' somehow he
dodged the dog an ' kept clear o' him
in spite of all he could do, and every
time Bob would git near enough, the
'possum would rake his claws through
his hair or else take a bite of him,
"The dog got so excited an' road
blmeby that 'e begun to froth at the
mouth and squeal like a crazy 'pos
sum.JJAUofa suddent I seen the
'possum jumped up in theair an' he
come down square on Bob's back,
his long tall carted around the dog's
neck, an' he couldn't shake Mm off
mor'n he could git rid of a flea. He
laid down and rolled over an' rubbed
himself against the building, but the
'possum hung on like grim death all
the time keepin' his tall hooked
around the dog's neck.
"I wus beglnnin' ter think 'twas
about time to take a hand In the
trouble, when Bob lit out fer the
crick, an' in two shakes of a lamb's
tall he was in the water, with the
'possum on his back. The 'possum
knowed his business, an' purty soon
slid off the dog an' struck nut fer the
oppersite side o' the crick. Bob
come ashore an' with his tail be
tween his legs started fer home
a gallop.
"The 'possum swum over to the
otker side o' the creek, crawled out

little an' taxin' a quit look at me
on t' other side, went inter the hushes

HOW KISS ME.
A funny Incident occurred in a
neighboring city, says an exchange,
a few days since, and one too good to
be lost. One ot our celebrated com
posers has wrlten a pretty song en
tilled, "Kiss Me." A very pretty,
blushing maid, having heard of the
Mig, and thinking she would get it,
wun some omers, stepped into a
music store to make a purchase.
One of the clerks, a modest youne
man, stepped up to wait on her. The
young lady threw back her veil,
saying:
"I want 'Hock me to sleep.' "
The clerk got the song and put it
before her.
Now, said tho young lady, "I want
Tho Wandering Refugee.' "
Yes, ma'am, said the clerk, bowing
nd in a few minutes he produced
the "Refuge."
"Now, -Kiss Me,' " said the young
lady, of course meaning the song
above mentioned.
The poor clerk's eyes popped fire
almost, as he looked at the young
lady in utter astonishment, for he
waa not aware that a song by that
name had been published.
"Wh what did you say, Miss?"
"Kiss Me," said she.
"I can't do It; I never kied a
young lady In my life," said the
clerk.
And about that lime a veil drop
ped, a yonng lady left in a hurry,
clerk frit sick, and dealer lost sale of
his music.
LEAS MEAT DIET FOB DYSPEPTICS.
The truth seems to be that per
son subsisting upon a lean meat diet,
while he may manifest a greater
amount of strength than upon more
natural dietary, and may be a neon
scions of any abnormal condition. Is
like a person In a powder magazine
he is In cons' ant danger of vital
catastrophe, says Medical Progress,
The poison destroying functions of
his liver and the poison eliminating
capacity of his kidneys are taxed to
their utmost to keep tin proportion
of ptomaines and leucomaines In the
tissues down to a point which per
mits ot the performance of the vital
fusciiub. The margin of safety,
which nature bm wisely made very
large in order to provide for emer
gencies, is red attd to the narrowest
possible limit, so that anything
which temporarily interferes with
the functions of the liver or the kid
neys, or which Imposes additional
work upon them, may be sufficient
to obliterate the safety margin and
produce an attack f gr.w. .or fetal
disease. Invasion of the body by
ptomaine produclnn microbes, such
as the typhoid bacillus, the bacillus
of diphtheria, the pneuroococcus of
Friedlander, the shocks resulting
from accident, and even the depres
sion of a severe cold may be sufficient
to consume the meager emergency
capital, and the result Is acute in
flammatlon of the kidneys, or death
under chloroiorin, or from shock fol
lowing an operation under an
tethesia.
LIM 0L.S NEW YORK SPEECH.
"When Mr. Lincoln was Invited
by a numlter of New ,York repuhll
cans to come to address us in Febru
ary, 1860, It was not wilh any idea
that he would be nominated for the
presidency," said Congressman Rich
ard C. McCormick, ol the First New
York District. "We asked him be
cause of the prominence be bad at
tained in his debates with Stephen
A. Douglas but we were entirely
loyal to Mr. Seward, who was our
choice for the presidency. I was
quite a youngster at that time, but
ardent In politics, and was appointed
to the head of the committee to re
ceive the distinguished visitor. 1
took him to the Astor house and I
well remember the impression his
gaunt figure and informal manner
had upon me.
He carried nothing but an ordi
nary valise and informed me, as soon
as we reached the hotel, that he was
anxious to get in his valise to get
therefrom a suit of newly made
broadcloth, that he had brought from
Springfield. I shall never forget the
look of that suit when it was taken
out and hung upon a chair. It must
have had 5000 wrinkles in it; but
Mr. Lincoln remarked that they
would disappear after awhile, and
seemed "to lose all further Interest in
his raiment.
"I asked him if he had any choice
of a place for his address and whom
he wished to preside at the meeting.
He said that Cooper Union would be
a good place, and suggested that
William Culled Bryant editor of the
Kvening Post,' should preside. He
appeared extremely desirous to have
Mr. Bryant, aud asked me if I
thought the la t tor's consent could be
gained. I was employed on the
Post at the time, but felt by no
means sure that Mr. Bryant,. would
consent to act as 'chairman of the
meeting. Mr. Lincoln had never
met the poet editor,;but had a warm
letter of introduction to him from
his brother, John II. Bryant, of
Springfield. Well, a meeting was
arranged between the two men, and
Mr. Bryant agreed to preside. I
never saw such a contrast but they
appeared mutually pleased, and part
ed like friends of long standing.
"His speech at Cooer Union the
next night is historic. I .had the
manuscript, but left it in the ofllce
of the New York 'Tribune' and don't
know whatever became of it; it would
be priceless now. But that speoch
was a great factor in bringing Kast-
ern support to Lincoln in the nomi
nating convention, and added to his
growing national fame. His own
opinion of its i ffect at the time was
that it might result In his being
named for the vice presidency."
LADIES' HOME JOCKJlL FOR 1M7
An even excellence makes the
good things which The Ladies' Home
Jornal promises unusually strong
and interesting. The list is long and
sturdy. One series of papers alone
would sell the magazine: that Is the
three White House articles which
ex-President Harrison Is to write.
No man has ever done what General
Harrison will do in these articles:
show us what "A Day With the
President at His Desk" means in
one article; In another tell of ""The
Social Life of the President," and in
third article describe "Upstairs
Life in the White House." Each of
these articles will be profusely illus
trated. Another series equally fas
cinating is the one called "Great Per
sonal Events," in which some of the
great enthusiasms which have oc
curred In America will be revived.
those wonderful times when Louis
Kossuth rode op Broadway: when
the young Prince of Wales was here:
when Jenny Lind sang in Castle
Garden; when Henry Ward Beecher
declined his congregation by selling
slaves In his pulpit; when Grant
went round the world; when Henry
Clay bide farewell lo the senate;
when John Wesley preached in
Georgia, of which so few know. All
these memorable events and others
will be vividly recalled, told more
graphically than ever before, and IN
liMtratcd with pictures that have i
ace upled twelve artists for over a
year. A third series is unique and
valuable from the fact that It will
give women scores of ideas for their
homes. It will reveal what then.
"Inside of a Hundred American
Homes," and carefully reproduce
pictures of one hundred completely
furdlshed rooms In homes in this
country from Main to California
where taste has gone farther than
money. Two new department
writers have also been exdudvely
engaged by the Journal : Mrs. S. T
Borer, who Hill hereafter have en
tire charge of the domestic depart
ment and give a series of cooking
lessons, and Dwight L. Moody, the
famous evangelist, who Is to rt the
result of his life study of the Bible in
a department entitled "Mr. Moody
Bible Claws."
WHAT SHOCKS ORTHODOXY.
The Mife creed" proposed by Hev,
Dr. John Walson (Ian Maclaren)
a common ethical creed in addition
to the existing denominational con
fessions of faith is being indorsed by
ptotiiiuiiui ministers aud educators.
It reads as follows:
I believe in he fatherhood of God
I believe in the word.- of Jesns,
believe in a clean heart. I U-liev
in the service of love. I believe
the unworldly life. I believe in th
beautitudes. I promise to (rust God
and follow Christ; to forgive my ene
mies, and to seek after the righteous
ness of God.
Bealiy this Is not to bud as one
might suppose who has read only
criticisms of It.
MO FIELD FOR A DOCTOR
One of the best-known stories in
connection with the late Sir Ben
jamin Ward Richardson's advocacy
of temperance tells how he had leen
on a visit to one of the three or four
small towns in England which have
no public house. Although there
were 4000 people there, the doctor
was nearly starving. One day
young medical roan came to Sir Ben'
Jamin, for advice as to taking the
practice, and Sir Benjamin
placing his hands on the
young doctor's shoulders, said: Take
my advice, and don't. Those
wretched teetotalers uot only shirk
accidents, but, when wounded, heal
so fast that there is neather pleasure
nor profit after the first dressing.
WHISKEY 1.1 t'OSURESS.
One of the national disgraces has
been, indeed is, a bar in the capitol
where spirituos liquors are sold by
the drink. At the assembling of
congress this winter a bill prohibit
ing the sale of liquors in the national
capitol i was introduced. This
was quickly passed by the
house. The event was noticed by
the blind chaplain next morning at
prayers when he introduced this par
agraph in the morning petition:
"We thank the, Oh Lord that this
house is no longer responsible for the
liquor traffic; within the halls of' the
national capitol. Grant, we pray
Thee, that the bill passed here yes
terday will go through the regular
channels and speedily become a law
never again to be repealed in the
history of our nation."
At the conclusion or the prayer
half a dozen members apluded vlg
orously. Speaker Reed promptly
suppressed the outburst.
Bryan carried the ex-Confedernte
states, the sliver states and the Popu
list states. He carried but one other
state, Missouri, and as Missouri was
never in the confederacy, has no sil
ver mines and no populist record, it
will have to be clasificd as Damphool-at-IiArge.
