"I thought I was out of range of the old gal," h panted ns he rapidly increased his distance, "hut you never ran tell about ii woman!'' I While the Congregation Waited. (From The Youth's Companion.) Wild animals have shown strange prudence in seeking their prey at a distance from their dens. A farmer whose poultry had been left unharm ed while his neighbors all round him ! were robbed, was astonished to find one day a litter of young skunks; 1 peeping out from under bis barn. Some protective instinct taught the mother skunk to range far from home for food. Another farmer refused to liidieve (hat a weasel was living on his farm cntil It was pointed out to him one day resting peacefully under his hen-house. Dogs, also, share this inslinct, and for running, collusion, planning and deception they will scarcely take second place to any oilier animal. The farmers of a certain town could not protect their sheep and lambs from dogs. Several dogs that merely had been found In a neigh bor's Held had been shol, and others were under suspicion. Those who pried their dogs, guarded them jeal ously, but in spile of all precautions the depredations on the Hocks of the iieithborhood continued. One Sunday morning a farmer, who was also u lay preacher, was prepur i it u lo go to an appointment when he noticed some tracks by his sheep pen and hastened to Investigate. It was a bright, sharp May morning, and a snowstorm in the night had left an inch or so of snow on the ground., On looking Into his sheep pen, the WW I h KHQH - . 1 ft 1W7- - 1 ' I ii I i WE OFFER YOU QUALITY GROCERIES ,TT7SESSu5I'SS33 all the time It means economy, satisfaction, g.uxl living for you to buy such goods.

That's the real idea back of the success of Lucky Strike cigarettes. Toasting improves tobacco just as well as bread. And that's a lot. Try a Lucky Strike cigarette Ifstett four lamhs and had worried three sheep, lie hastily called his son ami his hired man. and they started to follow the tracks id the dogs, which were very clear. The conditions for trailing them were perfect; hut Ihe sun was growing warmer, and the men had to make haste. There were two set.-' of dog's tracks. dogs usually run sheep In pairs, -and they were so fresh and clear that the lay preacher expected to find the culprits and then to meet his congregation. The tracks led in almost a straight I line lo a river hank fully half a mile away, where the dogs evidently had plunged into the water lo wash away ; nil marks of their escapade, and the 'tracks oi one dog appeared on the farther hunk. Leaving his hired man to liud ihe other trail, the farmer and his son pursued this one, which ! led tin iii to a nearhy house and ham, j which the tracks circled and then led I away to another farmer's place, ' v. here there was a dog that had been ; under suspicion. "I guess I know the dog now, said the farmer's son. But when they came to the place they found that' the dog was chained, and that the tracks led round the barn and away again to still another barn, which they circled. j The men now hd gone fully three miles from home. Although the sun was melting the snow, the tracks were j still quite clear; but the trackers felt that they must make haste. Re doubling their efforts, they came to firm where the tracks led straight to the barn, and there they found a dog, dripping wet and busily pawing at his mouth. When the owner of the dog was told their errand he was Indignant. A dog, he declared, would not go so far from home for anything. When the farmer and his son told him how they had followed the tracks all the way, he dragged the dog ignonilnlously from Its shelter and examined 11. It's feet showed that it had been run ning over slushy fields; Its coat was wringing wet; it was panting as from a long run, and, above all, wool was found between its teeth. The master was so angry that he got a rope, and the three men hanged the dog to a cross-beam of the barn then and there. In the meantime, the hired man had tracked the other dog by a dif ferent route to the very next farm. The dogs apparently had arranged their place of meeting at the river Bide, and on their return had gone to other farms, ao that anyone who might track them would lay the blame on other dogs. They had com mitted all their depredations from two to four miles from their homes. own The Mean Inn of "Salary" The Derivation of our word "sal ary" Is very curious. In ancient times Roman soldiers received a dally por tion of salt as part of their pay. "Sal." In Latin, is salt, and when the salt was, In course ot time, commuted for money, the amount was called "sala rium." or salt money. Ifence our "salary," and hence, no doubt, the expression, "Not worth hia salt" that la, his salary. mm mmm You haven't a single hanking need, consistent with sound banking practice, that we will not gladly fill.
