How He Got Even with Him.

In East Toledo there is a man whom the boys
all regard as q crusty old bear, without one grain
of sympathy in his composition, and who regards
all the boys as so many pests. It's a sort of
mutual feeling of dislike on general principles.
On Monday night one of the aforesaid boys was
on his way home from town, and passed the
dining-room window of his particular foe. 4
big, ugly-looking dog had followed him his par
ticular enemy had a dog that was, if anything,
uglier and quite as large. The family were at
supper and the head of it sat in his shirt-sleeyes
and bare feet, doing vigorous justice to q plate
of cold pork and beans. An idea seized the lad.
He softly approached the door leading into the
dining-r0om and opened 1t. His newly-found
dog, after the manner of all dogs, plunged into
the room without ceremony, and then the boy
shut the door and ran for dear life. The brute
inside went for the strange dog, and they COM
menced chewing each others outlets with all the
cordialIty Of old acquaintance. They knocked
over chairs, upset the table on the old man, and
nearly killed the baby. The frightened old fellow
scrambled out from under the ruins of his supper,
tore open the door, and ran down street in his
bare feet through the snow and over the ice,
Furnishing a case-knife and shouting for help.
His wife gathered the little ones, including the
demoralized baby, under her arms, and fleeing to
a bedroom for safety, intrenehed herself in the
middle of a bed. Finally the dog who belonged
to the house whipped the stranger, the old man
returned, aud order was again restored.-ToHedo

A DIPLOMATIC Boy.

When q Lacrosse-strcct boy is playing hop
scotch on the walk and his mother comes to the
door and asks bin t. split some wood, he replies
that he will be along in just one minute. vt the
end Of ten minutes she opens the door and says;
"Wilyum, l want that wood
lin coming right away be replies, and
then goes on hopping here and there on enc Les,
Another ten minutes flies away, and she opens
the door and says
"Wilyum, if You don't get that wood you
know what your father will i1I''
just ten seconds, ne calls back. and enters
upon q new game.
The next time she calls she says:
Young man, i5s almost noon. ana | can't
cook dinner without that wood.
II know tim coming now, he replies, and
be stands on one foot and holds q long discussion
with the johnson boy as % whether the game Of
hop-scotch is as good n game rs baseball. lie
has just started 20 hop when 4 hoy whispers
Iii, Bill there's your old dad -
.'Great snakes whispers Bill. and he goes
over the fence like a flash. grabs the ax, and dur
ing the next two minutes he strikes two hundred
blows per minute. He goes into the house ahead
Of his father, and as be drops the wood he says
mother, the boys were just a sayin' that | had
the bandsomest and best and coolest mother on
Lacrosse street, and want to kiss you De
