4 Predtcament,-Las evening hand
some locking woman was passing down West
Water street with little basket of eggs in
her hand, and when few yards from the
Menomence barn, was knocked down on the
sidewalk. Her cries brought gallant wild
over to the rescue, who saw, to his horror. a
billy goat that evidently had horn too much
doing his best to put an end to the poor wo-
MAPS misery. The widower tried to scare
the goat away. but he wouldn't be scared
He tried to help the lady up. when butt !!
came the head of the goat against himself.
and two butts together came, for the goat
gave him another. and down he fell crosswise
the lady. to the serious damage Of a dozen
| fresh eggs
..Helpm cried the lady sget off of me

''But my good woman,-" and butt went

"Help ]" cried the woman my eggs y
"Oh, my pants" cried the man.
| 'But never mind the pants; get up y
cried the lady; and just as she was trying to
get up, butt came the goat, and down came
| The man again.
The cries of the two victims brought quite
crowd to the spot, where there lay the wo
man and there lay the man-"twin miseries
pregnant with danger"-and there advancing
and retreating, butting first one and then the
other, oscillated the confsunded goat. The
last butt he made, one of his horns caught il
the basket, and he left the scene of action
with the basket hanging over one eye, and
the yolk of two or three eggs drizzling dowr
his magnificent beard.
The man backed out till beyond tn" reach
of the lady's. eyes. when he turned and rar
like quarter-horse, swearing at all goats il
general and this one in particular, while
the lady sat down and with the aid of shin
gle and a few pins, cleaned and repaired th'
badly damaged dress.

Going the Entire Porker.

Old Levi Allen used to go tin pedlirg in
his younger days, at which business he accu-
mrlatcd quite fortune, before he was seven
and5Aenty- The neighbors of the borough
where he finally settled, as the proprietor of
pretty farm, would often insinuate that
Allen had not been any too honest in gather
ing together his riches, and such was the
fact. A fellow sinner has since revealed
some of the old mans youthful short comings
and over goings, and there was one dodge
of his SO original that it is worth mention.
1t was this:
Whenever our dealer in tin ware chanced
to put up for the night, he was pretty sure
to make his waw to the best bed in the house
From this bed, k-s xould take bag full of
feathers, fetching in bag from the cart for
that purpose, and contrived to smuggle out
the same and get it slowed in his kit before
any one was stirring This proceeding Civ
ing HIM several pounds of good geese feathers
every day. did not little towards swelling
the profits of his business. and we are assured
tina it was only one of many similar practices
in which be indulged.
On one occasion Allen slept in d bed which
was very scanty-a diminutive bed, bed OF
few feathers, but all it contained were ''live
geese" and unusually good at that The
speculative tin ware merchant thought it
would be rather Small business to take away
feathers from a case containing so few-in
short that his only sensible mode OF proce-
dure was to take the entire bed. He accor-
dinghy rose beGcre the sun, and commenced

intention to go down on account of fthat ere

to ,he pedlar:
sHalloa there, stranger what are you do

| The astonished "operator" saw that he wa
caught in the act, but his ready wit helped

"Doiug?" be rejoined, with look full o
wrath, as he thrust out his head and took
survey of the field. Il guess some of these
internal bed bugs will soon find out what

bSg~Once upon a time, old Mahomet Ali, P'c1a of
Egypt, had carried the system of mpressment into
his army extensively that the peasantry resored to all
manner of expedients to avoid being taken among 9th
ers, the desperate OF pulling out their own right
eyes, the right eyes of such of the male children as
getting to military age, thinking that as they could
not take aira they would escape being made soldiers
This did for while, but finally the Pacha determined to
block that game by forming regiment of lefteyed men.
Keen old Turk, wasn't he?
Now, although we have been anxious to obtain a
short resting SPELL do most potenty and energetcal-
" protest that the idea OF having smashed fin
gers to dsquay ourse for Editorial duty, after the
manner of the Egyptian Peasants already referred to
who put out their right eyes to keep from being drafted
into the army is wholly. mistaken. On the contrary
