REVENGE TAKEN BY ANIMALS
Story on Record of Huge Mastiff That
Killed Thoughtless Groom at
First Opportunity.
Careful observers have put on rec
ord some very extraordinary instances
of dogs and other animals which have
remembered injuries put upon them,
and have eventually retallated, says
London Answers.
There is a terrible story 6n record
Of i dog, a huge inastif', kept as a
watchdog by a Staffordshire gentle
int. The great brute was kept
chained In the stable yard, and during
the very hot weather ono of the
grooms, noticing the creature panting
with heat, threw a bucket of cold wa
ter over him.
A week later the dog was loose
when the sitie man entered the yard.
le sprang tiponi hin and caiglot him
by the throat and killed hii.
A toniehing little episode happened
a few yeatrs ago In a Worcester vil
lage. A boy was the prouid owner of
a very handsome pair of fox terriers,
named Miek and Jerry. Jerry went off
one day Into a wood nettr by and
tackled a badger, whieh killed him.
Iaymond, his master, went out to look
for hin, but could not ind hieh. But
two (Iys ifter Miek wias found mourn
Ing over the (lead body of his coin
panion.
le wits brought back. One day he
did not returi. Ills mutster :earched
and found him laying dead, his teeth
in the throat of the badger, which
was also killied.
An anmusiiig incident wis that of an
Indian elephaiit whose revenge on a
new imahout whom he took a dislike
to was rathelr futitny. Ile pleked him
up nnd deposited him in t lie branches
of a it horni tree.
NO NEED FOR FURTHER TALK
Argument Had Convinced Man That

A middle-agedt nmn, wvith whatt ap
peared to he a1 loiad on his inti, visit
ed the itie si ii timer just before it
started On tine expeditilon, anl seeied
greatly interestesi in what he saw.
"Say," lie said to file oilleer oil deck,
"I'd like to go wit you on this ex
pedition of yours."
"It's awfully cold up there," re
marked [lte otileer, discouragingly.
"I don't care for that."
"You have very little to eat, and
you might starve to death."
"Thit wouldi't be pleasant," ob
served the visitor.
"I should say niot," returned the
officer. "And you might be eaten by
your coirales."
"And then," continued the olilcer,
"you wouldn't see your wife for three
years, and possibly longer. You know
you can't take her with you."
"Oh I" returned the would-be ex
plorer, after P long pause, "then you
can put my naie down on your books.

France Seeks Mauritius.
'T'hero Is at movement in France to
ask Great Britain for the return of
Mauritius, the Beloved Isle of France,
which wits lost in 1810. It Is contend
ed that, in spite of being under Brit
ish rule for over a hundred years, the
island is still essentially 1rench, and
that the peoplet desire uion with
their mother country,
Great Brtain has no particular rea
son for keeping the Island, says the
Newcastle Chronicle. It has no stra
tegic or economic imp~ortanice, nor has
It any sentimental associations, so far
as Great Britain is concerned. For the
Firencht, on the other hand, it is the
place to whtleht many of their nobles
emiigrated, and1( is the islantd which
Bernardlin St. P'ierre immttortatlized in
hkis byl, "Patti and1 Virginia."
The lilanders gaive piroof of their
feeling for France by seniing many
of their sons to light int the [French
