i Detroit man wants to sell a patent pistol-cane or a promising i^ewfoundliuid pup — he don't care which. He went home the other night and set his cane, heavily charged, behind the door, and started in for a romp with his threo bright little ones. They got along well enough until the pup spied the cane, and going for it, started on a promiscuous run around the chairs and table legs with it between his teeth. The doting father remembered the effect of a slight pressure upon a spring, and with rare presence of mind succeeded in throwing the children down the cellar stairs and placing himself on tlte top of a sideboard before the tlimg went off. The ball only broke a hundred dollar mirror, and the pup only got a few scratches in jumping through a plate-glass window. The doctor says the children will all recover. No insurance.

Vermont forgets all tho hardships of the past winter in jubilation over its maple sugar season, and cheerfully aek>, what's hue odds uo long as its sappy.
