The Buffalo Is Well Nigh Extinct 



And every nature lover wants a relic 

 of him. Here is a chance to get it; 

 I have in stock a limited number of 

 buffalo horns, highly polished and 

 fitted with nickel plated flanges at 

 the base, so that they can be 

 screwed on the wall, thus forming

THE GUIDANCE OF REASON. 



The villagers were gathered around the 

 little store, talking about Sam Jones's lost 

 colt. It had strayed out of the pasture 

 lot the day before. Sam was worried 

 about it, the neighbors had been out hunt- 

 ing for it without success, and no one 

 seemed to know where to look for it. 



Jim stood there, looking on and listen- 

 ing. He was a tall, lank young fellow, 

 regarded as halfwitted by some persons 

 and as foolish by others. 



"I think I could find youi h-horse," he 

 said to Sam Jones. 



"You? Why, Jim, how do you think 

 you could find him when we have had the 

 best men in town out looking for him ?" 



"Well, ' said Jim, "I could trv, couldn't 

 I?" 



"\'es," answered the owner, "you can 

 try, and if you find him I'll give you a 

 dollar." 



"All right," said Jim. and walked away 

 on his search. To the surprise of all, he 

 returned in less than half an hour, lead- 

 ing the missing horse by a rope tied around 

 his neck. 



"Well, well !" said Jones, as he took 

 the horse and paid Jim the dollar, "how- 

 did you find him so quick?" 



"Why, I thought," said Jim, " 'Now, if 

 I was a horse, where would I go?' And 

 so I went there, and he had." — Exchange.
