- Something Awful


The following conversation was over
heard the other day among a lot of school,
girls. who had congregated in front of a
house. Each one in turn appeared to be
holding up the domestic skeleton which
afflicted their homes. One told how her
little brother had broken his leg; another
about how sick her mother was and still
another told how drunk her father would
come home every night. In short, they
all appeared to have some grief to hold up,
all but one little beauty, who seemed only
unhappy TO think there was nothing she
could tell to excite the envy or sympathy
OF the=rest. She listened to the recital of
all these troubles as long as she could, and
finally expressed herself in this way
g Well, girls. we all have our troubles.
Some have sick brothers, and drunken "a
theirs, and ugly mothers. Some of us
have got measles, and smallpox, and
scrofIIla. We've got something osefut in
our family" "what is il 2" asked sever

7 Ingenious Honesty Of a Hackman.

The clerk of merchant at Osaka, Ja-
pan. went to kioto on business of his en-
ployers, and received 1000 yen to carry
back to Osaka. Having been detained
longer than he expected, he missed the
steamboat. and being anxious to complete
his journey as quickly as possible, took a
iinrikishe, intending TO travel through the
night and reach aka before daylight.
On arriving at a village few miles from
his destination, about a. m, a man with
a drawn sword stopped the vehicle and de-
manded the COO yen, stating that he had
seen the youth receive 1t at kioto. After
some demur the clerk took the money
from his bosom, and was about to hand 1t
to the robber, when the jinrikish coolie
snatched the bag and made of, leaving the
vehicle, the clerk, and the robber III the
middle of the road, the two latter as
speechless as the former. The knight OF
the road, finding himself foiled, departed
in the direction opposite to that of Osaka,
to which the youth fastened. after aban-
doning his first thoughts of Jumping into
the river. On arriving at the house of an
| uncle, he acquainted that relative with his
adventure, and expressed desire to Gle
But he was spared, for it was discovered
that the coolie, instead of running away
with the money, had taken 1t to the police
station. He WIS appropriately rewardeo
with share of the money he had so clev'
erly saved.

The Hired Girl Performs Dental
Operation.

A hired girl should be ingenious. One
of them, in the employ of West Street
family in Danbury, has discovered a
unique way of extracting teeth. She suf-
fered neariy a whole week with an aching
tooth, but had not the courage 10 go to
dentist. One afternoon it troubled her so
much as to force her to look about for a
remedy, and she finally hit upon q plan.
With piece of stout Irvine she made a
loop, which she put about her tooth.
Then she took a bit of soap and rubbed it
on the floor opposite the back door. The
other end of the Irvine she fastened to the
knob Of the closed door. Then she took q
position on the soaped boards, so as to
make the Irvine nearly taut, and COM
menced to AN back. When she had ac-
quiIed slope of about torty-five degrees,
the soap suddenly took hold, and she
came down on the floor with such force as
to knock a pair of ten dollar vases from a
mantel upstairs. And there she sat reach
