Sallie's Bedtime.

A FATHER, not very far from here read
In the naper the other morning that the
Utica girls who want their beaux 70 go
home the same night they call, pull
string at the proper hour which reyerses
n picture. on the back OF which appear
the words "Ten o'clock is my bed
time" ~ &a.
This father, who has daughter given
to late hours when certain youth sits up
and helps her keep them, thought nc
would try this Utica plan, so he wrote In
large characters on the back OF huge
portrait of George Washington, this IN
scriptioni g=
| so o'cIocK IL sALaE's BEDTIME.'
| Then he arranged the picture SO that,
when he attached a string TO the lfaihe'
| he could reverse il from his bedichamber'
But when Salle entered the room an hour
! later, her aesthetic eye was outraged ny
| observing the portrait OF George hangihE
! slightly out Of plumb, 80 TO speak ana ia
adjusting IL her fathers little game was
! revealed in all It's subtle ingenuity.
| Sallie was not Utica girl, however, 80
she its, went 20 work and neatly eilaced
the figure 90" leaving the standing
solitary and upright which, you WIN Cd
serve. made few hours difference IN heF
bedtime That night, as usual, salie re-
ceived visit from her young man,
which his front name 1t was Henry--ahu
| her paternal parent attached his string W
G. w. s portrait, and retired TO MS ao"hy
| couch
! About ten o'clock, while Henry ana
sallle were deeply absorbed IN some
| knotty problem, with their heads 30 con,
tipnous that YOU eouldn' insert piece OF
tissue paper between them, the father OIL
his country suddenly turned his lace W
the wall, as If he was ashamed to gaze mp
on such doings. Henry, with sudden
start, glanced at the picture and saw lne
handwriting on the wall, az u were
which read. conc O'Clock Ia Sallie' sbed
time" Then Henry looked at Ballie witi
an Interrogation In his eye, which "a
nartly dispelled by the fair maid muir
mu,fne "lts all right Henry saio o.
course it was all right--that he naS
known one O'Clock was her bedtime, ant
he thought IL was plenty late enough 10
a Young girl 10 be out Of bed, but VIVA
hnsiness' he said, had George washing
toms portrait to be topping about IN ina
! way ? Then Sallie explained-aha IN
twain resumed work on the pfonlen'
. Henry putting ms "'lsp
I prevent her falling of the chair.
Meanwhile the old man was hstenin
i. for the front door 70 open, and ms wooie
he sonin.law's footsteps pattering oVe
: the pavement with the toes OF his BOO,
pointing from the house. These eonnc
. not falling upon his ears, and thinkin
: maybe the old thing didn't york right,
gave the string another pull, and D. Geo a,
". again faced the audience. Then
T listened; but be heard no footsteps--not
i ing ing but peculiar sound, something !
y senbling the popping Of champagl
corks,
1t Then Ie grew cross, and gave L
Z string another jerk, causing o. W;

a as if te wis d-eadtully out Of hume
