lent idea that boys know every thing,
the old gentleman accosted boy, and,

the boy. "Which Smith do you want ?

The Knoxville Oowa) Democrat tells
this: A novel end exciting race took
place between married couple at this
place, few days ago. For obvious
reasons we shall suppress their names.
They Lad been on visit to some
friends, some seven miles northwest of
Pella, and got up a quarrel between
them, just as such things commonly
happen. He is one of those kind of
fellows that when he says thing he
means it and sticks to it, whether right
or wrong. Shea masculine, healthy
and well proportional female-does
not believe in saying yes when she
means no. So, for a time, they had it
up and down-with words-their eyes
flashed fire, and it looked as if there
would be battle, when the woman
proposed that they had better settle
their quarrel by running a race to Pella,
whoever should be the first at their
residence, all the property would
belong to, and the loser was to walk
quietly out and ''vamoOse the ranche,"
The man, confident in himself as pc
destrian, agreed to this, and proposed
that they should start at that time. He
threw off his coat, and she frightened
her corsets and otherwise prepared her.

and then they started. Adam took the
shortest way by cutting across farms;
Eve kept the main thoroughfare. We
did not witness the race, consequently
we can not say how they stepped, but
the result was in favor of the woman,
who had a plain, well-beaten track;
while the thinking to be the gain
er by the short track-was the loser on
account of the soaky condition of the
sloughs, which were hardly passable.

A FARMER at Cohoes, New York
dreamed that he was feeding his COWS
the other night, and that suddenly one
of them reached over and whispered in
his ear, 81 am going to set fire to this
she'd" He says that he looked at the
COW in astonishment, but she kept on
repeating the same words over and
over again until he awoke, and his
dream was so wildly before his mind Is
eye, that he went out to the barn to see
the COW that told him she would set the
barn on fire. He went cautiously into
the stall of the would-be incendiary,
and, strange to relate, he discovered a
blaze of light in the Manager. He still
thought he was dreaming, and pinched
himself, but it was useless; he was
wide awake and there was fire. He
rushed for pail of water that stood by
the door and soon had the fire out.
