Here Mr.. Barlow surrendered at indis.
cretion and promised to put up that stove
on Sunday.
Early on the morning of the sacred day
the Barlow household was disturbed by
such unacc ustomed noise as the pound
ing of pipes, the rustling of SCOT, the
rafting of stepladders. the humping Of
stoves, the suppressed swearing of Mr..
Barlow, and the by no means suppressed
scolding of his spouse. Finally, Mr..
Barlow got the stove up, a brick and two
chips serving for the missing leg; he
erected about five lengths of pipe from
the back. and he suspendd five other
lengths from the chimney and ceiling.
| There remained about one elbow to con-
| meet these two perpendicular and hori-
zontal systems. Mr.. Barlow had by this
time became both perspiring and pro.
fame.
When the acrid SCOT got into his ewes
and made them smart he had rubbed it
out with his hands. wpich were covered
with SCOT; he had cut his fingers seven
times with sharp edges of stove pipe
and pinched them seventy times seven
between joints. Mounting on a chair,
placed on four bricks, placed on n wash
board, placed on tub, placed on table
with one short leg, which was eked out
with scrubbing brush, Mr.. Barlow
essayed for some time to fit the elbow.
Mrs. Barlow, meanwhile, stood below,
commenting audibly. but by no means
favorably, on his method OF conducting
operations. At last. being aggravated
beyond bounds. Mr.. Barlow gave the ell
bow sharp blow horizontally. A sus-
pended stove pipe offers comparatively
little resistance and Mr. Barlow lost his
balance. The game leg of the table
slipped from off the scrubbing brush,
the tub slid from the table, the wash
board tilted from the tub, the bricks fell
from the washboard, the chair tumbled
from tho bricks, and Mr. Barlow des-
cended from the chair like I,ucifer falling
from heaven.
For few moments the atmosphere
was filled with Mr.. Barlow, bricks, SCOT,
washboards. chairs, profanity, tubs, Ia
bles. and shrieks; then there was dread
full sileuce. About nineteen square Yards
of carpets were ruined, aud the circum-
. jacent rooms were a sight for q house
keepers eye. Hardly had Mr.. Barlow
, risen and begun to take stock of his nu-
merous bruises and abrasions, than Mrs.
Barlow's voice rose anyiously demand

have caused his death instantly. 1t is o
fearful looking wound, but not neces-

cut causing quite flow of blood. The
hull team did not leave here until late or
Friday and it was nearly two o'clock or
Saturday morning before they reached
the Fiiteen-mile house. After getting
there they all commenced to play poker

The Carson Tribune says the reason
why . woman requires large wallet for
the transportation of a two bit piece is
as deeply wrapped in mystery as the
reason why dog always turns around
three times before he lies down to take
nap. Now We have chance to show
our knowledge. The woman requires
the wallet to make show of wealth, and
the dog turns round circularly because in
wild state the canine habit is to break
down weeds and brush to make a bed,
and even in mans bondage wild instinct
reasserts itself.
