which turns everything into fda and n,er-
riment. 1.-THE truth were told. ve fear
we would have to record that these three
misses were just little bit fast. They
were fond Of playing practical jokes, and
were continually playing all sorts Of pranks
with each other All three occupied a
room on the ground noor and cuddled in
one bed 9.i ai 5z - e#.
Two Of the yeung ladies attended par
ty on the night in question. and did not
get home until half-past II O'Clock at
night. As il was late they concluded not
to disturb the household. 50 they quietly
stepped into this room through the low
open window. ~ -u..'.se (.
In about half an hour after they had
left for the party. a young minister called
at the house where they were staying, and
lcraved for nights lodging. which Of
course, was granted. AS ministers a..
ways have the best of everything, the old
lady put him to sleep in the best room.
and the young lady. (Fannie) who had
not gone to the party, was intrusted with
the duty Of sitting up for the absent ones
and informing them of the change Of rooms
She took up her post in the parlor, and rs
the night was sultry. sleep ovcrcane her.
and she departed on un excursion to the
land Of dreams. ..
We will now return to the young ladies
who had gone to their room through the
window. BY the dim light of the NOON
beams, as they struggled through the cur
tains, the young ladies were enabled TO
dcscry the outlines of Fannie Gas they
supposed ensconsed in the middle Of the
bed. They saw it all. Fannie had set the
boots in the room to give them a good
scare. They put their heads together and
determined to turn the tables on her
Silently they disrobed. and stealthy as
cats they took up their position on each
side of the bed. At given signal they
both jumped into bed, one on each side Of
the unconscious parson. laughing and
screaming. "Oh, what man Oh. what
man." and gave the poor bewildered
minister such promiscuous hugging and
tusseling as few persons get in the course
of lifetime -s1 l
The noise Of the proceedings awoke the
old lady, who was sleeping in an adjoin-
ing room. She comprehended the sitna-
ton in a moment. and rushing to the room.
she opened the door and exclaimed =
Gracious it's man I! it's a man sure
enough" There was one prolonged. con-
solidated scream, fash Of muslin through
the door, and all was over.

gis, and hygienist. showing each person

sure that young man could do better

some wise Psychologist tell him frankly
all his habits, and have such table pre-
pared, not only to guard him against ex-
cess. but to show him his weak places, and
point out where he will be most likely to
fall. Some Of these tables would, no
doubt. read very much as follows:
