the exact amount of damage done re-
Gently by the food a reporter started
ont on an interviewing expedition. He
was fortunate enough to encounter
farmer at the edge of town bringing Il
load of hay into the city. Burning
with enthusiasm the reporter hailed
him. He halted and the following
colloquy took place:
- How are you friend?"
Tired. :"
" WHAT'S hay now?"
Same as it always was"
&" What's that?"
"Dried grass.
What did you think of the rain?'
" Thought it was darup."
Didn't raise anything, then, eh?'
4" Nothing but all umbrella.
q What did your neighbers get?"
d" ChiIls and fever"
What are you doing now?'
Sitting out here in the sun. and
may be losing a chance to sch this hay.
Come up here II you want to talk. "
The reporter scrambled up to the
side of his new-made acquaintance,
andas they iolted on he again produced
his notebook and continued:
d" What did the farmers do last
spring?"
s. Ran everything iute the ground as
usual"
e Did your wheat do anythiug?"
" Yes
What?"
"Sprouted.
:" Can you raise any tobacco now3"
a. Yes. do you want chew "
- How are the potatoes? q"
Under the weather somewhat. but
able to be ont.
Becoming just the least bit discour-
aged, the reporter asked, timidly
Will you bring many beets to the
city this year?"
Got II good load now, " was the re-
joinder al he checked his horses and
said /: Guess you'd better plant what
I've told you, and see what it'll yield.
Here's where you git off,"
Remembering that it was about time
to report at the office, the bafled
searcher after news climbed down the
aide of the wagon. and thinking that
soft answer turneth away wrath, he
calmly said:
That's nice hay, my friend; where
did it come from?"
Timothy seed"
The interrogator grew faint. but he
summoned up courage to ask;
What do you think you'll get for
it?"
Cash, of course. Get up, Whitley !;
this fellow will talk US all blind in
minute. He asks more questions than
a catechism. and before the discour-
aged representative of the press could
recover from his surprise the hay
wagon, had. turned the adjacent
corner.

Seeing IL the House Is On Fire.

1T is very easy matter, says the Buff
falo Commercial Adcertaser for some one
member Of family to make it arule to
examine carefully, after the others have
retired, every place where there is pos
sibilitv that fire could be ignited with
danger to the house. Five minutes given
to the examination of furnaces, stoves,
fire-places and their surroundings might
be all that was necessary to prevent a Sc
rious and dreadful confederation. And
the Adcertiser instances the case of
housekeeper, who has been faithful
family servant for thirty-five years-a
long time in these days of T" hired help"
This conscientious woman made it a mat
ter, one might almost say of religion, to
go every night, after the family had re-
tired, without a light, from. garrett to cell
lar, to see if every chance of accident
from fire was removed. Ridicule didnot
make her swerve from this habit. One
evening, after the departure of some
guests and retiring of the family, on her
usual rounds, she found the hat-stand in
blaze. Calling the master of the house,
with his assistance, but with no little
trouble, the flames were put out 1t
seems that the umbrellas in the rack
had been ignited by spark from cigar
held by one of the visitors as he took his
hat from the stand. Needless to say that
the housekeeper, after recovering from
her fright, was more than ever convinced
that it did pay to see If the house is on
fire.

THE Louisville COMrier-,J 0u77aGt says:
"There was Chicago girl and she dear

So it came about that she yearned to

in male attire and become heroine and
have "a hair-breadth escape. Fortune
favored her. She had a lover who in the
daytime swung the poncerous yard stick
in a downtown dry goods store and who
had his nights to himself. In her eyes
he was simply adorable. He seemed
noble, brave, pure and viI.tuons. It oc,
Cured to her to put him to the proof and
straightway she hit upon plan. One
evening he called upon her and after an
hour had been spent in conversational
pleasantries he took his departure. No
sooner had he gone than she hied herself
to her room, donned a full suit of her
brothers habiliments, and went forth on
her lovers trail She saw him join a
companion. Soon afterward she found
herself in a bar-room watching. the twain

them she sped, ana simultaneously with

The Epizootic.

A New Hampshire Journal makes known
to the public that speediest way to cure the
epizootic and make horse thoroughly
happy is to give him onions In proof
thereof the case Of Portsmouth horse is
cited, which had q severe attack of the
disease, and his owner placed half dozen
onions in the crib with lis regular food,
The horse tackled three of the onions i'm
mediately, and by the time he had swal--
lowed them began to cough and sneeze and
Prance about, appearing quite indignant,
and refusing to touch the remaining onions.
For full five minutes he wept at the nose,
and then-he was cured horse. He has
not had cough, sneeze, nor any symptom
Of the epizootic since, but he did have the
courage to cat the onions remaining in the
crib the next day after the cure.
