WWeman, Courageous in Most Things, Quailed at Sight of a Man Under a Bed, In « thriving town in Mississippi lives an old maid who is looked upoa by her neighbors as a veritable fire-eater. Some say she is absolutely without the feeling of fear under any circum- stances. Stories of her exploits and her daring are a part of the community history, and are frequently repeated to the timid with the hope of stimu- lating their courage and to negative the idea of becoming frightened at the mere hobgobblins of life. She isan aunt to two girls and they look upon her as the incarnation of fire-eating fearlessness. They had retired to their room one night a few weeks ago SHE FORGOT HER NERVE. and were fixing to gotobed. Suddenly they discovered in some way that there wasa maninthe room. He was under the bed, too. They jumped into bed, and quickly decided that they would call to their old maid aunt, who was in the next room. One of them called out to her that the other had been taken suddenly sick and needed medicine at once. The aunt rushed into the room. She had scarcely closed the door when one of the frightened girls cried out to her that there was a man under the bed. She forgot her nerve and simply flew over into the center of the bed, and seemed to be as badly frightened as the girls. No doubt she was. She was game enough, ordinarily, but when it came to the man under the bed, that creature who is universally dreaded by women, well, this was one thing even the game and good aunt. could j, not face. The miscreant finally left his hiding place and fied. The moral of this yarn is that there is limit to the bravery of even the most daring of old maids, and the same is reached when a man hideth under the bed. NO TROUBLE TO WEEP.

James Rice, of Chicopee, Mass., is the owner of a gander that guards his house and yard on Exchange street in his absence better than most dogs could. How effectually Billy does his duty is attested by the fact that a short time ago he drove Patrick Ma- lone, a well-known local character, out of the yard, biting him so se- verely that he applied to the police for & warrant for the arrest of Billy or Mr. Rice, but the police refused to have anything to do with the matter.

Billy will never allow any one to even take hold of his master’s coat or make any motion he considers threatening. Billy sleeps on the back steps of the house in summer and not only gives warning when tramps come into the yard, but attacks all trespassers on his master’s estate.
