waste of much valuable time, lie
therefore advised that a woman who
was to be paid a salary of $1.000 a year
should be engaged to open the letters
before the partners arrived, and sort
them, allotting each partner his own
letters, so that when he catue down to

Pony and Haltlesnako.
A California farmer, who has three
small children, owns a pony which Is
their constant companion. They have
ridden him. rolled over him. fed him,
and have come to consider him as one
of the family. When the children went
on an expedition and did not want to
ride, the pony went along as If be had
been a pet dog. A San Francisco news­
paper tells the following story of lhe
pony’s presence of mind:
One day the three children went on a
nutting expedition, aud while they
gathered the nuts, the pony grazed near
by. Suddenly, almost beneath the feet
of the nut gatherers, there was an om­
inous whir, and they saw with horror
