Absentmindness Cured

The story of the absentminded man
who, meeting with his own sou in the
street, shook hands with him and asked
him how his father was, has been equaled
by the forgetfulness of a Wisconsin far
mer. This man drove to town to trans
act some business and was accompanied
by his wife. Leaving her at dry
goods store he proceeded to carry out
his intentions. Having finished his bus
mess he forgot all about the little cir
cumstanoe of bringing his wife with
him, and started home alone. Arriving
there, he put his horses out and pro-
ceeded to do the chores. In the mean
time his wife learned that her husband
had left town without her. Hiring a con
veyance she was driven home. She didn't
wait to takeff her things, but siezing a
press board made her way to the back
yard
The husband was just seating himself
on a milking stool, and had just opened
a conversation with the COW on the sub
ject of "h'isting," remarking frequent
ly that it was $50, boss" He was just
getting settled down to business when a
whistling sound, as if something rapidly
cleaving the cir, came from the other
side of the cow. 1t was the press board
and the wife was on one end of it. An
instant after it fell with crushing weight
upon bis knees. The COW, having con-
scientious scruplcs about standing be-
tween husband and wife, left very sud
denly and in her hurry kicked the un-
fortunate man in the immediats vicinity
of his vest pocket. The unhappy victim
of circums' ancts scrambled up on all
tours, when the press board again de-
scended, striking him opposite to where
the COW had before left her tracks. His
wife then asked him if he would ever
forget her again and his answer was
plain and too the point, "Not much"

Bad Work in the Asylum

We learn that two lunatcs in the Asy-
lum, both males, at Weston few days
ago engaged in a fight, and the attend
one coming on the scene, seized one and
bound him while he left the other I'M
manacled and then thrust them both in
to cell together, and locked them in.
The unatic who was unbound wore
heavy boots, and as soon as he found
himself alone with his companion he
pulled OFF one Of his boots aud beat the
other on the head with the heel Of it un-
ill be was dead Our informant told us
that the attendant bound aud manacled
the most moderate lunatic, while he left
the most violent one uumauacled We
should think that the practice Of per-
hitting violent lun4tic 80 wear
heavy boots a very reprehensibe one,
We learn that the keeper whose negli-
gence caused this outrage was dismiss
ed but such things shonld be guarded
against. No means should be left in the
hands of one lunatic to iujure another,
We have given this matter as we re-
ceiyed it from responsible persons. -
