MIR. DINKIE's REVENGE.
A Disastrous Dinner-Party.

| ing bOarders. | think the queerest
| folks that ever were, have come and board
ed with me since Mr.. johnson left me with
three little children, to earn my living by
the most ungrateful task that ever was put
upon awoman's shoulders; for there are peo-
pie that never think you can do enough for
I'm, and people that haven't any consider
alton for your feelings, and If a turkey hap
pens to be tough, as if it was ever known
for certain what became of the pair that
went into Noah's ark, and the like of that,
| you know and there are people that have
WITNESSES, aud want raw meat or scorched
cinders, and people that CAN'T bear any
thing fried. and people that won't touch
pork, and people that take airs and don't
| pay, and people that are so far from what
they pretend to be that you have to men,
ton TO them that their rooms are wanted,
and all sorts IF people who do all sorts Of
queer things.
One of the queerest things l ever knew
to be done by any boarder was done must
say, by Mr.. Dinke.
He came to board with me about
five years ago, just at Christmas time. He
was bachelor about fifty years old
should judge, and his face WAS smooth
shaved, and he wore q mahogany co lored
wig, and he was rather particular in his
He'd just met with disappointment-no
in love, mind you, but ia money.
He had made himself a slave to q rich
old uncle for twenty years, expecting to be
his heir put up with all sorts of treatment !;
been hutfed and scolded and sneered AT
moraing, noon and night; never said
word but just went on grinning and rub
bling his hands and speaking about his
"dear uncle" until the old man died, when
he left him only hundred year for his
life. After that he came to board with me.
There was boarding with me at the same
time maiden lady named Swiffies. She
was about as old as Mr.. Dinkie, ard she
was very rich. She wore diamonds in her
ears so big and so shiny that wondered
the thieves let her come home alive with
| 'em on. And she had the same kind of
diamonds on her fingers. She had three
pets, dog with curly wool, and kitten
| all white except black nose, and green
and red parrot. Daytimes she had them
in her room, but she hired an extra room
for them and they slept in that, and it was
comical to see them. Poll in her cage,
and the dog and kitten in sort of basket
cradle, with refreshments sent 'em in case
they fsoud be hungry In the night.
Everybody isn't SO careful of children.
She had white. quilted covers for the two
animals. 1t was peculiar and she was Gu
rious in good many things.
She was not very handsome, but she was
Of very good family; and though che
wanted extras, she paid for 'em. re-
member asking her once why she hadn't
married, and she said she always felt that
the male sex was beneath her, and that she
couldn't promise to obey any of 'em. She
asked rue if didn't feel to despise EN- my
