well talk it over"
When We got in the gallery near Browns

Charley Cooper and Mr.. So'hern Cor $500,

Sothern with pistol. Mr.. Cooper. whose
nerves were little unsteady, having been
out on George Kids yatch all the nfIer-
noon, took rifle and put Two balls out Of
ten in the bulls eye, ringing the bell
sharply twice, and honestly, too.

A BELATED Dallas man went home the
other night and found the gate locked, he
climbed over the fence and then found the
doors locked, he then crawled in the win
dow and found his wife gone. Then be
turned round and tried 10 open the
door to get out again, and he found il
locked on The outside, he then vent to the
window to get out that way and found it
nailed go be conldn't raise it, then he
heard gentle little voice on tic outside,
say, .a.Now sir! I've got you in, and in you
shall stay, until you vow you ever will
stay out any more at night" But he
didn't say anything, he only looked up at
the Heavens and saw some magnificent
cloud scenery and sat down by the win
dow and waited, then there came o spat-
ter of rain and another and another, then
the owner of the still small voice looked in
the window and he looked ont at the pro-
prietress Of the angelic tones and cleared
his throat just little then the gnrnered
fullness of the beautiful cloud began to
como lively and the cherubim without in
tensifed her inward look muchly, then he
diluted his optics some more as he looked
out on the debarred dove and he smiled
only Just little though Then shs was
luxuriently wet, then he stepped tothe
door and when he unlocked the side sh e
she entered, "Did you do that?" ayes, nam
did that; did you do the other2" "YesI did
the otherl" And the matter is perfectly
even, less "make up" and they made up.
And all this actually occurred cna certain
