A Practical Sweetheart.

A nice young man employed in the
Kansas Pacific office resolved the other
day to present his beloved girl with a
nice pair Of shoes. He accordingly pro
cured her measure and went into one of
the fashionable stores on Main street and
purchased two-dollar pair of shoes. In
order to make the present appear more
valuable he marked five dollars upon the
soles of the shoes, and at his request the
clerk put receipted bill for five dollars
into one of the shoes. The presentation
was made, and the lovers were happy, a.
lovers should be. But mark the SEQUEL.
The girl examined the shoes in the dav-
light and was not satisfied. She was con-
WINGED that her lover had been cheated in
the purchase Of such a pair of shoes at
that price. She decided to 90 and change
the shoes and obtain better bargain.
Yesterday she appeared in the store and
selected q pair Of shoes, price $3.50, and
politely requested the clerk to take back
the shoes for which she said her husband
had paid five dollars. The rcceipted bill
was produced in proof, and the boot man
found it impossible TO 20 "behinl the re-
turns" The smart girl took her $3.50
pair of shoes, and obtained $3.50 in
money, and went bone happy and salts
fed. The boot seller sent q bill for three
dollars to the young man, who promptly
paid the difference, but he thinks that
girl little too smart for him.-Kansas

At the Soda Fountain.

Hand in hand they entered and stood
before the machine, gazing wonderingly
at its beauties, when the busting vender

marked, "Wall, I reckon as amt par

bottom Of Jake's glass is filed with lemon

A Tin.Clad Dog.

In these times of mad dogs, one which
got his head into tin jar few nights
ago ut the residence of W. T. Chandler,
Beaver Valley, Del, was the maddest of
all, but happily he was not mad from an
attack of hydrophobia. Spooking around
Mr.. Chambers back yard, he found in an
open summer kitchen tall tin jar, with
something in the bottom which made him
thrust his head in considerable distance
to reach the palatable morsel at the bot
tom, which we believe, was potato yeast.
Probably not from the effects of tie yeast,
but from some cause, the dogs head from
the nose to behind the ears grew so large
that the can pesisted upon remaining on
his head. When the dog found that he
was fairly caught and not being able to
howl himself, he commenced a series of
gymnastics that made more noise than
half dozen dogs. He tugged at the can
with his feet, he snorted and sneezed and
would have growled if he could; he rolled
over on his back, stood upon his hind feet,
and shook himself, but that can was
"thar" and he could not remove it. TAX
ing cruise around the y~rd he jabbed
the big end Of his tin elongation against
the yard fence, janmed through a bunch
of dahlias, swept down a swath through
the potato patch, and emerging to the
onion bed he took q roll in it, and
comming back to the open kitchen again
he sent the breakfast table hors de CON-
bat, legs upwards. BY this time Mr..
Chandler had so far recovered from the
tears ingendered by the terrible racket
below, that he ventured from his bed to
see what was the matter. Opening the
kitchen door, the dog hearing noise
made a bounce in that direction, almost
ramming the bottom of his tin can that
stuck to him ''closer than BROTHER into
Mr.. c. g face. Frightened for the in
slant at such queer kind of an animal.
Mr.. Chandler shut the tin-headed beast
out, hut after a moments consideration,
he grasped the situation and boldly went
out and grasped that tin can, and with a
dexterous effort he threw the fuzzy end
of it over the fence, but held on to the
tin end. The dog pulled and Mr.. Chand-
lor pulled, and at last the separation
came, Mr.. G. performing a somersault on
one side of the fence ind the dog at the
other.

Two Noted Grave Robbers,

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of the
grave Of Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, last
May, the body being found in the dissecting-
room Of the Ohio Medical Collge. Public in
dignation justly brands any man as a scoun-
drel who will rob the grave of the dead. But
country, so far from being the subjects of the
peoples wrath. are universally lauded for
their virtues. The reason is plain. While the
former class steal the dead bodies of eur loved
ones to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these only rob the graves to restore the
living victims to our hearts and homes
Their names-Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets-are
household words the world over. The Golden
Medical Discovery cures consumption, in its
early stages and all bronchial. throat, and
lung affections; Pleasant Pnrgative pellets
are the most valuable laxative and cathartic.
