"1 think you've been half an hour too long In milking three cows," she re I ill til as she took the palls from him. "Wlddor riiompson," said Job with mock solemnity and his hat in his hand, "I have the honor to Inform you that you art? the sole owner of one of the greatest living curiosities on the face of tills earth. I'ome out and be hold the only two headed calf ever bom In a state of captivity." it was true. The widow rushed down to the barnyard to tlnd the old spotted cow chewing her cud in eoutcntment, while frisking around her and looking at the world from two different stand points was a two beaded calf. Nature had produced a wonderful freak. There was only one body, supplied with the usual nuriber of legs and a proper length of tail, but the neck was orna mented with two perfect heads, and two Kepni; i> mouths bleated welcome to the w<>:.! ii who held up her hands In amaze.' t. "Mj Mat Job, but what is it!" she exclaimed i; tie hired man followed along "It's su: ' :n" to make you famous the world over." he replied. "It won't I j HALK THE ei.ol'J.E IN- THE OOL'MXX UAl> CONUKATCLATED HKB. be a month before you will be better known than Queen Victoria. People will come a thousand miles to see this two headed calf, and you'll have lit least live offers of marriage a day." "I want no offers of marriage, and if this calf Is to bring a lot of people around here asking questions I'll have you kill it right off." But the willow wasn't In earnest In what she said. She had been looking out for an offer for the last live years, and she liked nothing better than half an hour's gossip with a tin peddler or a lightning rod man. As she gazed at that two headed calf, who tried to re turn her gaze with his four eyes at once, she saw {tosslbllltlcs in the fu- j ture and returned to the house with a amlllng countenance. Before noon every fanner for five miles around had hoard of the living j curiosity and visited the farm; within \ two day* half the [>eople In the county had taken a view and congratulated the j widow. The matter got Into the local paper aiul was republished far and wide, and most of the papers wound up the two headed tale by saying: "We understand that the widow Thompson is a well preserved, intelli gent woman of forty, and there are rumors that she may assume the bonds of matrimony again at no distant date." People came by the hundreds, as Job had predicted, and lettc rs came by the •cor* But the offers of marriage didn't accompany them. In her secret heart tin; widow hud determined thut that calf should bring her a husband. Being a two headed calf he ought to bring her two offers, and she would take her choice. Peddlers, lightning rod men, sewing machine agents and prospectors for natural gas looked over the fence at that calf and offered a price, but their anuria* were not accepted, l'urcliaslng agents fur sideshows, museums and circuses viewed the curiosity from every side and made liberai offers, but went away disappointed. None of them had the good luck to discover that the widow and the calf were one and Indivisible, that where the two heads went the widow's hand and heart followed. If any of them had a dim suspicion, he was barred out by tuning a wife alrtady on his hands. But at the end of four weeks there tame a solemn faced man.

But he was coming, and one day he arrived lb didn't even ask after the two headed calf, although lie probably knew that It was well an-' thriving. He sat lilm.'elf down in tie house and talked to the widow, and Hits Is the n ay he talki d "I aui a lone man.

The widow took two minutes and then replii d, and that evening, after she had had a talk with Job, that hired man went out and kicked himself around the barnyard and exclaimed.

No wonder you all feel cold w hen \oil go outdoors!" mut tered the sufferer as he drew out the little plug cock and the steam escaped with a rush. ; "Now you see how Pimple"— began Mr. Jenkins, but just then the rush of steam changed to a trickle of water, rapidly increasing in llow. He en deavorod to replace the plug. "Hang It!" he roared as he dropped the plug and assumed a variety of atti tudes, nursing h-is fingers. "Here I've scalded myself to death, ami the water is running over the iloor, and nobody Stirring! liun to the telephone, some body, and call up the plumber and tell him to send u man h -re directly, and— in the name of common sense, Mary, why don't you get some cloths instead of— What are yo'J laughing at?"

"An Stupid ns a Donkey," When one boy tells another not to make "an ass" of himself or says that the other Is as stupid as "a donkey" or ns obstinate as "a mule" he does not mean the remark for a compliment, und the other boy never accepts it for one. But is the donkey really a stupid animal? Is-the as.s anything like so groat n fool as the human being who Is supi>osod to behave like an ass, and Is the mule only obstinate, or has he a "firm character?" Ask any one who associates with the donkey beast. He will tell you at once that the little ani mal Is us Intelligent a creature of Its class as you can llnd. There are donkeys that seem to show a contempt fur the human understand ! lng by not always caring to do what a : Luman being asks of them, but make p | donkey love you, and you will find him ; docile enough. There are stupid don | keys mid Intelligent donkeys, as there 1 are stupid and intelligent horses, dogs i and—persons. An ass has never been | known to do anything so absolutely I silly as to make It excusable to give the poor creature the bad name he has borne for ages. He Is patient. lie is long suffering. Much abuse makes him appear Indifferent to the treatment ho receives.

Although it has often been said when speaking of drunkenness that even the beasts of the lb-Id do not get drunk it Is nevertheless a fact that a great many animals ilo get Intoxicated. Take the elephant, for Instance. He Is particularly fond of tin* fruit of the unganu tree, and although he appears to have some Idea that It is not good for hiin he will goon eating when he has once begun until he is wildly ex cited and -o Intoxicated that lie will stagger from -ide to side.
