A millionaire rancher, of Pomonas, Cal., was painfully injured, recently, while attempting to ride a large red Durham bull. He had made a wager with another rancher that he could remain on the bull's back for two min- utes, faith in his ability to win the wager being based upon his experi- | ences in broncho riding.

Love should be at pains not to spread con- tagion by a kiss.—Christian Herald.
