Uncle zeke's Practical Joke,

Some years ago there lived in one of our
large cities an eccentric character known es
Uncle Zeke, who never lost chaucc of per-
petrstng practical joke. ANY place or oc-
easnn suited him. provided lie could make
his point. One fine Sunday he repaired to a
fashionable church, some time after the ser,
vices had commenced, aud as there was not n
seat vacant, he took prominent nosition in
the centre aisle, where he stood bolt upright,
with his high stovepipe hat clanped tightly
on his head. OF course he attracted much
attention, and very soon the sexton, man for
whom iIncie Zeke had an especial dislike
erept mp to him and whispered that he must
take of his hat.
.'Thats again my principles" said Uncle
Zeke.
81 can't help that" said the sexton impa-
tlently. "you must take it off -
''But | WON'T" replied Uncle Zeke.
"Ihen shall take it off Tor YOU" said the
sexton, who Was becomin. very ncrvou. on
account of the attention this whispered COL
loquy had accustomed
"All right" said Uncle Zeko; "vou kin
sake it off. That amt agin my principles !"
The sexton thereupon took hold of the rim
OF Uncle Zeke's hat and dGxterqusly lifted it
Cd his head. But what was the regpectsblc
sections horror when about two quarts of
hickory nuts rolled out Of lis hat end went
gathering and banging over the church h,or
And that was Uncle Zeke's JOKE on the
sexton.

He had announced that he would lecture
~ the same place the next night.
Long before the time appointed they COM

down the aisle the building was comfortable
well filled with men. The old fellow looked
about, chucklcd, and then muttcred:
"Hogs, I've got you now " The audience
started. "Aha, hogs, Two got you now!
After the crowd had got quiet little, the
lecturer proceeded by saying:
"Friends, you wanted to know what 1
meant by saying "Hogs, I've got YOU now"
and Ill tell you. Out west, the hogs run
wild; and when folks get out of meat. they
catch young pig, put a strap under his body,

Nota eound was heard. nd our mother was ont
when the switch IRON the corner VIC hurried.
AND we al! three vowed we would tell it NOT
yer tie grave where our terror was buried
We buried him boldly in broad day.Iieht
The clods with our chubby hands turning.
And We smiled to think of che fun to- N rht
And the mischief planned for the rnoTnin, ,
no useless Griffin enclosed his breast.
Not in sheet or In shroud We wound him.
Bot he Ia! like a warrior taking HE rest
With his old brown coat around nim,
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And We spoke not word OF sorrow.
Sot we stes dissy gazed ON the young sprsut dead.
And chuckled to think of the morrow
We thought az we hoiIowed his narrow bed
How bog Who gets whipped always bellows
How latheT and mother would tread Ger his head
= And never suspicion us feltows.
W:nd'ring they Iltelk of the switch that is gone,
:, ana wish lh"y had never mslaid him
b9t mite we'll rtc& !! they'll let him seepon
In the grave we e" silly have made him.
but hall OF our cheerful task wac done
w hen the clock struck the hour for dinner.
And we heaod them calling one by one
For each trembling. little sinner
As quick as lightning we bad him down.
From the field of hls fame fresh and yorv.
We carved not line bat m ped the dirt round
And left him alone In his glory.
