them" This excruciatlng "goak" has

y Plymouth man, while in Bourbon
last week, met with quite an adventure.
He was met by an entire stranger to him.
who warmly gras ,ed his hand and urged
him into his residence before there was
time for an explanation. II was evidently
aplain case of mistaken identity, for when
the Plymouth man, whom We shall call
Stubs, stepped into the 2alat;al mansion.
two ladies made a rush for him, and he
was Rugged and kissed into the middle of
next month before he could say Jack Rob
inson. We regret to say that there is
question whether Stubs acted quite hon
orably in permitting himself tn be car
ressed in this manner, and if we were To
mention his name, his wife would give
him a serious lesson In the proper deport.
ment under such trying circumstances.
The kissing over Snubs was piled with
numerous questions as to his health, happi
ness etc.. and the scoundrel began to really
enjoy the situation, when one of the ladies
remarked Law Mr.. Snubs you have had
the wart taken off your upper lip haven't
your" Now Stubs had meyer enjoyed the
luxury of a wart on his his upper lip, and
while he was stammering something the
ladies set Jp chorus OF screams. They
had discovered the fraud, and Stubs seeing
the form of a gigantic bull dog approach
ing beat hasty retreat. He says that to
be mistaken for some other man is very
agreeable, but that is IA trying time when
the blunder is discovered.
