A SCHOOL teacher in Umatilla county,
California, had pretty girl of sixteen
as pupil. She entangled his heart,
and then cruelty Tilted him. Thereupon
he sought revenge. Catching her in a
slight infraction of the rules, he swung
his birch branch aloft, and commanded
her to stand up and bo whipped. She
ran out of the door and like deer
across the fields toward homo; but her
fieetness was of short duration, and the
angry schoolmastor's hand soon grasped
her arm. Her courage had gone with
her wind, and she offered then and
there to kiss and mako up if he wouldn't
whip her. He declined to compromise,
led her back to the school house, and
flogged her until blood came through
the back of her dress. Her hour Of
exultation came when sh . saw him fined
$50 for assault.
A FARMER called ut the house of
lawyer to consult him professionally.
"Ist' Squeer ut home?" he inquired
of the lawyers wife. He was answered
negatively. After moments hesita-
ton thought relieved him. Mebby
yourself can gi' me information as we'll
rs t. Sluecr, rs ye're his wife" The
kind lady promised to do so if she
found it in her power, and the other
proceeded as follows: "Spoaze ye
were an old white mare, an L should
borry ye to gwang to mill with grist on
yer back, an we should get no farder
than Stair Hill, when all at once ye
should back up, and rear up, and pitch
up, and kneel down backward, and
break yer darned old neck, who'd pay
for ye? Not I-darn me if would !"
The lady smilingly told him, as she
closed the door, that rs he had himself
settled the case, advice would be super
fiuos.
