ANGORA GOATS.
"Good-day,” said Mr. Angora Goat.”
“Bad-day,” said Mrs. Angora Goat.
"I plight have expected you to make
such a speech.” said Mr. Angora Goat.
"Why?” asked Mrs. Angora Goat.
“ Because you’re such a terror,” said
Mr. Angora Goat.
“ So are you, my dear.”
“ Well, I wouldn’t have surprised my­
self if I had said it, either,” said
Mr. Angora Goat.
“ Such silly foolishness,” said Mrs.
Angora Goat, “how can a creature sur­
prise himself?”
“ Quite easily,” said Mr. Angora
Goat.
“How?” asked Mrs. Angora Goat.
“By surprising himself.”
“But how can he do anything that
would surprise himself, silly?” asked
Mrs. Angora Goat.
“ Well, he might surprise himself by
falling over when he meant to stand
up, or by slipping when he didn’t in­
tend to, or in marry other-A?gwsv
“There, smarty, you thought you had
me in a trap, didn’t you?”
“I thought no such thing. I wouldn’t
trap you, and besides there is no trap
around.”
“I didn’t mean a real trap,” said Mr.
Angora, “I mean you tried to put me
in a hole.”
"I didn’t at all,” said Mrs. Angora.
“ Oh, dear,” said Mr. Angora, “ what
I mean is you tried to make me ap­
pear foolish and as if I couldn’t an­
swer my own questions ^and I could.
You will have to admit that.” ,,
“ Very well, I admit it,” - said Mrs.
Angora Goat.
“ I agree with you,
though not with many creatures. That
is, I agree with you at times.”
“I know,” said Mr. Angora, “ it is not
because of your sweet disposition.”
“Why should I waste time by having
such a thing? One can’t enjoy it.”
’ “ Others can, perhaps,” said Mr. An­
gora, “but that is not my affair. I
know the keeper .says we’re a bad
pair.”
“ Yes,” agreed Mrs. Angora, “I’ve
heard him say so. He said we were
beautiful, but bad!”
“That’s absurd,” said Mr. Angora
Goat. “The very idea of being good
when we are beautiful. That is quite
enough.”
“I think so,” said Mrs. Angora Goat,
“but many creatures don’t.”
“ I’ve heard the keeper say that we
were the worst pair of angora goats
he had ever known,” said Mr. Angora
Goat
“Good.” said Mrs. Angora Goat, shak­
ing her horns.
Mr. Angora watched her as she did
this. “Your horns aren’t nearly so

Early Indian Agriculture.
When the white men first- arrived in
this country they found an aboriginal
population mainly sedentary and agri-
ultural.
The Indians were mostly
armers, peacefully disposed and dwell­
ing in villages. Predatory and unscrupu­
lous, after the manner of his kind, the
Intruding Caucasian drove them to war
and forced them to adopt a roving and
unsettled mode of existence.
Corn was their priniepa! crop—a ce­
real unKnown to Europe. now '•ex­
tensively they grew it may be judged
from the fact that in 1685 the British
destroyed 12,000 acres of maize plant­
ed by the Senecas.
The Indians of pre-Columbian days
pursued agriculture on a co-operative
plan. Large fields of corn were made
up of hundreds of individual fields.
The squaws stirred the fruitful earth
and planted the grain. At harvest
time the men and boys helped, to gath­
er the ripe ears.

“ Oh, fiddlesticks!” said Mrs. Angora
Goat.
“ What do you mean by that ?” asked
Mr. Angora Goat.
“I mean I don’t bother about what

I say and think.”
“ Well,” said Mr. Angora Goat, “I
can say the same of you, and about
you.”
“I’ve heard,” said Mrs. Angora Goat,
after a moment, “that even though you
may brag of your handsome horns
which are a little bit bigger than mine,
that you are considered far worse than
I am.
“ Yes. I’ve heard that you were twice
as had as I was, twice.”
“That’s good,” said Mr. Angora Goat,
“for if I anugoing to be a bad fellow
I will be a thoroughly bad one. I’m
glad I succeed.”
So the two angora goats gave the
keeper a lot of trouble, but they didn’t
care, for they were mean as well as

The following story is told of the
late Joaquin Miller, the “poet of the
Sierras.” . A certain club desired the
poet to address an annual meeting
for which an elaborate program had
.been prepared. The secretary wrote
a letter to Miller, telling him of the
purpose of the gathering and request
ing his co-operation.
In due time
there came an answer from the’ poet
It was in his own hand and covered
four pages. In vain the secretary pu
zled over the manuscript. He passed it
on to the president, the board of di
rectors and the members in turn, but
all failed, to decipher the scrawl. The
question before the club was, “Has
Miller accepted or has he declinedT
The secretary finally sent the follow
ing note to the poet : “ My Dear Mr
Miller—Your letter received, but I
have been unable to determine whetb
er you have accepted or'declined bur
invitation. If you will be present on
the date mentioned, will you kindly
make a- cross at the bottom of this
letter? If it will be impossible for
you to appear, will you kindly draw
circle?” In due time the letter came
back, but the secretary could not de
cide whether the poet had drawn
cross or a circle!
