a petition was presented to the
board by the best farmers of the
county, asking that dipping be
made compulsory. The board
passed the order, it became a
law, and Uncle John became
furious. I
"Dip my cows in that blamed
nip-hole? 1*11 shoot the last one
of 'em fust. It dries 'em up, and
I takes the heir offen 'em, and I
beam that 49 head died un in
Jasper last week just atter they
i wuz put through. No, not me!"
But the inspector came around
presently and gently insisted
that Uncle John's cows must go
through. He snorted, but 'lowed
the boys could run 'em
through once; but if any harm
came to them he was going to
get down his old shotgun. The
boys "put 'em through," and eiv
L joyed it hugely; but Uncle John
m was disgusted to see that not

They were telling dog stories
in the smoking: room the other
night, relates Pearson s weekly.
"I once had a splendid bullterrier,
said .Smith. "Do you
know what this animal did? One
night a durglar broke into our
house, and the dog jninpcd upon
him and knocked him senseless
with his tail." "Very good, very
good," remarked Swnffmnn,
musingly; "hut not quite so good
as a retriever I once had. we
were out shooting one day and
a friend of mine unfortunately
hit the dog. Well, in a few minutes
he came running up earring
his tail in his mouth. My friend
had shot it clear away."
