that ere trick afore you were born" | must
just tell you one thing to prove his smartness.
The other day a nice looking young man in
every respect, except that he parted his hair in
the middle, got on the car, and stepped up to
the box and paid his fare all regler, and hit
the HOSES to GO ahead. But the off one sets
right back in the britchin', and wouldn't move
a peg. l knowed in a minnit that somethin'
was wrong somewhere, and, lookin' round,
saw that the chap had put lead nickel in the
box laid dow the lines and kicked him off'n
the car, and then the hosses went ahead as live
ly as crickets. But the off one wouldn't de-
mean himself hauln' man who would blk his
fare. No, SIR"

johnson at the SesOimg Society.

There was a score or more of women gather
ed together at Mr.. ] Johnson's house. Mr.. john
son is good hearted man and good citizen,
though he is rather skeptical about some things.
The women had just organized ''The Foreign
Benevolent Society" when Mr.. Johnson entered
the room. He was appealed to to donate few
dollars as foundation to work on, and Mrs.
Graham added
at would be so pleasant in after years for you
to remem Der that you gave this society its first
dollar and its first kind word"
He slowly opened his wallet drew out a ten
dollar bill, and as the ladies smacked their lips
and clapped their hands, he asked:
"Is this society organized to aid the poor of
foreign countries 2"
"Yes-Yes-Yes p they chorused.
"And it wants money ?"
"Yes-Yes! !"
"Well, now," said johnson, as he folded the
bill in tempting shape, "there are twenty
married women here. If there are fifteen of
you that can make oath that you have combed
your children's hair this morning, washed the
dishes; blacked the cookstove and made the
beds, I'll donate this $1O."
"I have" answered two of the crowd, and
the rest said:
"Why, now, Mr.. johnson !"
"If fifteen of you can make oath that your
husbands are not wearing socks with holes in
the heels, this money is yours" continued the
| wretch.
"Just hear him p they exclaimed, each one
looking at the other.
eff ten of you have boys without holes in the
knees of their pants, this * goes to the socie-
| ty !" said johnson.
"Such a man % they whispered.
If there are five pair of stockings in this room
that don't need darning, I'll hand over the
money !" he went on.
"Mr. Johnson" said Mrs. Graham, with
great dignity, "the rules of this society declare
that no money shall be contributed except by
members, and as you are not member beg
that you will withdraw and let us proceed with
the routine business"

BEAUTIFUL OLD GENTLEMAN.-There's a
German who keeps corner grocery store in
Keokuk, and he had call from little boy the
other night who had been sent to get two
dollar bill changed. The boy received the
change and returned home with it, when it was
discovered that there was quarter which was
rather ragged, though good in the change, and
also that the quarter was just twenty-five cents
more change than the folks who sent the bill
were entitled to. The boy was sent back to re-
turn it, and of course the ragged "fractionaP
was sent with him. Entering the store and
holding out the ragged money, the boy said.
"You changed So bill for me. Here's a
quarter"
Our German friend, seeing the ragged money
and fancying he would have to take it back,
interrupted the boy by exclaiming. "Shanged
moninks! I shanged no pills NIT you."
"Yes, you did, and here's quarter"
''Mein Gott, vat liars Meier in my life
did I see sch poys. 1 dells you you nefer
shanged me init any pills"
"Why, was here not half an hour ago and
you gave me quarter"
"Gf you some quarters Dunderwetter,
young fellow, do you tink pin gone crazy nit
my prains? don't gif you some quarters.-
Now, you make yourself seldom ride away, pc
fore put shoulders on your head, and he
commenced to move out from behind the coun-
ter.
"Oh, you didn't give the quarter. All
right, Squire. I'm just quarter ahead" and
he started to go out.
"Now," said the German. putting himself in
all attitude of admiration, ''dot ish vat like to
see peter as nothing else. l lofe an honest
pny, and l shoost been trying you, sonny.
Yaw, it was me what makes shange NIT der
pill, and knows itall der same, but was try
ing you. Du pese cheney poy, g = gifts you
a nice pig apples for your honest, )" pocketing
the quarter he led the boy back to the rear Of
the store, selected an apple about the size of
marble, and presented it to the boy, and pat
ting him on the head said, "Now, run along
home, sonny, und dell your volks vat nice,

WHAT WAS FOUND IN AN OLD TRUNK.-A citi
zen of Hickory county, Mo-, last week met with
singular piece of good fortune. While at
Kansas city, in September, 1869, he purchased
an old trunk, advertised as 'unclaimed prop
erty," by the United States Express Company,
which proved to contain only some valuable
articles and dirty clothing. On his arrival
home the trunk was converted into recepta-
Gle for wood, for which purpose it was used till
a week since, when being partially demolished
it was converted into kinding wood. Between
| the wood and zinc bottom was found $685.
| The trunk bore no marks to indicate who the
owner might have been, and the most reasona-
BILE supposition is that it was shipped to some
fictitious name, and contained stolen meney,
which, either by the interference of arrest, or
from fear of detection, remained uncalled for.
MEN AND ANIMALs.-Let a bird discover o
store of seeds or fruit and he goes and tells OF
his good fortune, and all the birds in the neigh
borhood flock to enjoy it. Even a little ant
will bring his whole tribe to feast upon new
| ly discovered dainty But let a man discover
a mine of gold or any kind of valuable treas
ure and he will keep it to himself as long as
possible, and take the greatest care to conceal
