Puffs out as he smokes bits of Heather Chinee.

Shuts them up with grin atthe Heather Chinee
The sailor, who rests on the unresting sea.
Turns his quid and then chuckles, why, blast

The lumberman's axe, while he news at tree,
Keeps time to the chime of the Heather Chlnee
The grocer, who sells you pound OF 6onea,
Recalls the soft looks of the Heather Chlnee

Opens wide to admit the mice" Heather Chlnee.
And the topers, who gather to taste barley

Daddv's Bow.

In certain small town on the Mississippi
lived man who made horse-trading a business
He bought up horses for a city market, anO
was considered pretty good on trade. One
day long, lean, queer, green-looking speci
men of the Western country, arrived at the
dock with boat load of horses. He inquired
for the horse Jockey. :.
Daddy sent me down with some horses,
he said, in half-idiotic Tone
"Who's he p
Daddy"
s'What do you want for your horses p
Daddy said you could set your price, =" was
the reply. 4,
said Brown, and accordingly they were soon on
the boat.
Brown examined the horses, and named the
price he would give for this one and that, and
the country pumpkin made no objections, al
though some of the offers were not more than
one-half of the real value of the animal. One
of the by-standers gently suggested to the
countryman that he was being cheated, but he
returned:
Daddy said Brown would set the price him.
self" and so Brown had it all his own way.
At last they came to an animal which did not
look much superior to the rest.
81 must have more for that anermal, he
said daddy says he can run some"
Rum said Brown, ''that nag can't run
worth cent
Daddy says SO, and daddy knows"
"Wby, I've got one up to the stable that can
beat it all to hollow
''Guess not" said the fellow. Lets try
'em. I'll bet the whole boat load of horses on
him."
Brown smiled.
''I'll stake FIVE thousand dollars against your
boat load, said Brown, winking to the crowd,
land these men, selecting two, ''shall hold
the stakes"
Browns five thousand was entrusted to one,
and the other went on board the horse boat.
One of the crowd started to demonstrate with
the poor idiotic fellow, but he only responded !:
"Golly dad told me he could run some, and
daddy ought to lose EN- if he was such tarnal
fool as to tell me that when he Couldn't
Browns sleek racer was brought down. and
Brown mounted him. The countryman led out
his animal and climbed on his back. looking as
uncouth and awkward as the horse he proposed
to ride.
The word was given, and they started amid
the laughter of the crowd. At first Brown
was ahead, and it looked as though the poor
fellow was to be badly beaten, when his horse
suddenly plunged forward, and the jockey was
lett tar behind. Such going had not been seen
In those parts for long time, and poor Brown
was crestfallen. as the cheers of the bystanders
fell on his ears.
LII take the spondulix," said the country
man, riding up; 'dad was right The amer
NAL can get around little.
Brown tried to say it was joke, but the fel-
low would have his money. ~
:. Il guess | won't trade to-day" he said as
he put it in his old rough leather pocket-book
s'I'll 60 back to daddy"
In vain Brown tried to induce him to trade.
but he pushed off his boat, resoutely saving
''I'll 90 back and tell daddy"
