He said he had a mortgage on his farm and wanted to borrow two hundred dolE lars.. I lent him the money, and he went fe*way. Borne time after, he returned with more *. tears. He said he must leave me forever. . I ventured to remind him of the two hundred dollars he borrowed. He was much cut up. I thought I would not be hard Upon him, so told him I would throw off one hundred dollars. He brightened up, shook my hand, and said: "Old friend, I won't allow you to outdo me in liberality; I'll throw off the other hundred." And thus he discharged the debt. ' ' CURfcD LUMBAGO. A. B.

Mr. Oliver Bartlett, an Englishman, while hunting in India recently had a hard battle with a big crocodile md mly succeeded in killing the repufc.ive creature after being knocked down by a sweep of -its tail and painfully injured. "I was out shooting small game r ear Bargar," says Mr. Bartlett, "whea a lot of natives came to my camp :ind BABTXiXTT WAS KKOCXKD DOWN. isked me to kill a 'black devil' that bad recently invaded the village tank and had only that morning killed an old (voman. "The natives were very much frightened and begged me to aid them. I at Dnce concluded that the denizen of the tank was a crocodile and laid my pians accordingly.. "With my native attendant I went to the tank to see how I could induce the crocodile to come out where I could get l shot at him, a difficult problem, for tie was old and wary. Finally 1 orlered the villagers to bring their water [ars and fill them at the tank, as was their custom. About a half dozen had ailed their jars when I noticed something black moving at the bottom of the tank and coming toward that side >f It But the old brute would not come to the surface. "I told the villagers to bring a puppy | and make the animal cry out I knew this wcfcld bring the crocodile out and is he passed me I could give him an explosive bullet before he could get jack to the tank. A dog was brought, out my boy could not make him cry loud enough, so I sent for a pig, and reiy soon I heard a lot of grunting and squealing. The squealing woke the crocodile np, and very soon 1^ emerged from the tank. All this time I was hidden in the lushes by the side of the tank. As soon is the brute came out I picked up my fun. The crocodile saw me and turned toward me, open mouthed. I let drive a charge down his throat, and the ilood came from his mouth in. streams. But these awful brutes take a lot of tilling, and he was far from dead. As le turned his head round toward pie again I fired a second shot, aiming at lis wicked looking eye. With a kind of lellowina roar he came for me again, :>ut this time I was not so fortunate n getting away, for as I jumped aside to avoid his terrible jaws he knocked ne clean over with a sweep ol his tail, ind I lost my gun. At first I thought my leg was broken and that I was lone for, and I looked round expecting X) see him coming to finish me off. "I rose to my feet, and, although ny leg hurt me, I knew it was not broken, so, picking up my carbine and ?un, I loaded them both as I limped ilong after the 'mugger.' I soon came ip to him, and then I could see what was the matter. One of his fore legs was broken, and the buckshot had blinded him, so that he did not know n what direction he was going. But, ilthough he had lost his sight, he was still very dangerous. I wanted to get in front of him to shoot down his throat again, as he kept opening his mouth and snapping his great jaws, Hit I did not relish the prospect of another smack with his tail, and the path was too narrow to let me pass 3afely. Soon, however, he blundered out into the open against the village, and I slipped round him and got in front Dropping my carbine again, I Sred both barrels down his throat and then jumped back to the carbine and waited the result The great orute stood stock still for a minute and then, opening his Jaws to the fullest eo.tent polled over, with a gurgling kind o:f bellow. He lashed his tall savagely for a moment and then lay down and died." : '"*-v y * 100 YEARS 01 STRONG A Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Saved Ago and Has Kept Me Stron Writes Mrs. D. M.
