A Lincolnshire bull suddenly evinced a hatred for its owner, and the farmer had need of the great agility to avoid the animal wheneve he happened to be in the same field with it. With every one else on the | farm the bull was as gentle as could | be, and even would come to the farm | peculiar call. One day a farm hand working in a field saw the bull, which | was grazing in a meadow near by, walk to a gate leading to the yard | of the house, lift the latch with his nose and pass through.

The monkey had been caught young, and had been kept as a pet by an} officer of the regiment, who was fond of him on account of the unusual intelligence he showed. It was the duty of a certain corporal to feed the} monkey, and one day he accidentally} gave it some food which caused it great pain. The monkey never for- got or forgave the corpor though | another soldier was assigned to the duty of feeding the animal. One morning the olflicer awoke to find his pet, which slept in the same room, missing. He dressed hastily and went out. The first thing he -heard| was that the corporal had been found in his company room with his throat eut, the monkey sitting on his body toying with a razor. The razor sub- sequently was identified as one be- longing to the officer, and had been left on the table in his room when he went to bed the preceding night To commit the crime the monkey must have gone out, razor in hand, into the pitch-dark night, walked 200 yards to the men’s quarters, slipped past the guard and made his way down a long corridor to the room where the corporal was sleeping. No one saw the monkey until after the murder had been committed. A boy of 13 was murdered by a race horse, which had taken a vio- lent dislike to him. It is believed that the boy at some time had teased or maltreated the horse, for it was | gentleness itself with every one else. | | The boy was warned not to go near the horse, but one day he entered a loose box stall where his enemy was | h Enmities | In | | {its pav BYE.

REFUSED TO BE SPANKED. Pretty Actress Balks at the Unique Demands of Her Manager for a Sensation, Miss BD. Agnes Lane was asked to sub- mit to a spanking on the stage, just to liven up the first act of “Don Caesar de Bazan.” Miss Lane declined to be apanked, so her engagement to play Maritana in a “Don Caesar” road com- pany was canceled and now she has j Lane played minor parts last season in the Bernhardt-Coquelin company. “T was hired as a leading woman,” said Miss Lane, “and after the re- hearsals were all over I was told that I was not soubrettish enough to suit some mythical person referred to by the manager as the financial backer of “I REFUSE.” the company. I never could find out who the backer was. Mr. Rostell told me that he was delighted with my act- ing, but that the gentleman with the money was not satisfied. He wanted Don Caesar to take me across his knee and spank me. When I refused he said I would have to quit the company. The mysterious and nameless backer with money wanted to spoil that beautiful tableau at the end of the first act by confined.

There have been several instances where ele- phants have watched an opportunity | and murdered their keepers, against | whom they had some grievance, per- haps of long standing. Pussy’s Salary Was Raised. Some time ago the cat of the St. Paul post office made a record by month. In recognition of her ebili-! ties the postmaster wrote to Wash- ington, asking an increase in her sal- ary, and she now receives $10.40 a year.

She resolved on the deed after the death of her husband, and informed the public of her inten- tion. The taotai endezvored to pre- yent her, and on account of typhoon and floods the suicide was twice post- poned, but all efforts failed to divert the woman from her purpose, and, be- | decked in her finest clothes, she pab- licly hanged herself on a platform be- fore which stood several hundred spec- Asks $3,000 for Her Kisses.

He made a study of the forms A YELL TO STOP, toon, that the policeman was snooz- ing in the vehicle. There was a moment’s discussion and then a plan of revenge was de- cided on. The hackman walked noise- lessly around the dark side of the carriage, and before the officer knew what was being done the horses were whipped and going at a mad rate of speed down the street. The was @ yell from inside to stop, but the driver never heard. Around corners and over crossings at a pace that made the policeman’s hair stand up with ht the horses dashed as he clung frantically to the seat to keep from having his head bumped against the top of the hack. The ride lasted for 15 minutes, and when the horses were finally allowed to settle into a walk and stop the dis- tance back to the policeman’s beat was reckoned by the hack driver at about four miles. Of course there was an argument, possibly some lan- guage that would not bear repeat- ing, but through it all the hack driver maintained an air of calm indiffer- ence until, in a last effort to contain himself from laughing, he made the proposition that the policeman pay his fare back to town. It was insult té injury in the of- ficer's eyes, but notwithstanding he remembered that the chief was at the theater and if he was not seen upon the beat when the play was out ques- tions .would be aske Accordingly, with much loud talk, a $2 bill was produced, and the driver with profes- sional politeness opened the carriage door for his passenger to enter on the return trip.
