and angry verbal disagreement
They arranged themselves along

one of the men for $40 cash to
hold her husband while she com
mitted suicide by jumping into
the lake. She went at it, but be

mind that suicide was wrong
She and her husband made up.
and now want the $40 returned.
The man who was hired says that
be had to work like a hero to hold
the husband of the fell destroyer,
and he doesn't intend 10 return
the money. Besides that, bis Ia
Dor extended over a time long
enough to admit of the suicide Of

COUNTRY SCHOOL.

A COUNTRY SCHOOL.
Pretty and pale and tired
She sits in her stiff backed chair,
While the blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And the tiny brook without,
That she hears through the open door
Mocks with its murmur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor.
1t seems such an endless round
Grammar and A, 3, C,
Then the blackboard and the Sums,
The stupid geography;
When from teacher TO little Jem
Not one of them cares straw,
Whether "John" is in any ease
Or Kansas in Omaha.
But Jemmy's bare brown feet
Are aching &c wade in the stream,
Where the trout 70 his Turing bait
Shall leap with a quick, bright CLEAN
And his teachers blue eyes stray,
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
With half unconscious sigh.
Her heart outruns the clock,
AS she smells their faint sweet scent
But when have time and heart
Their measure in unison blent?
For time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when you fain would pass.
Have patience, restless Jem,
The stream and the fish will wait;
And patience, tired, blue eyes
Down the winding road by the gate,
Under the willow shade,
Stands some one with fresher flowers
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.

He made his errand known to o

widow, who was pretty, and be de

swer his purpose. Within an
hour he popped the question, and
she, influenced by the mutual
friends representations as to his
character and property, said yes.
Powell wanted to have marriage
ceremony performed on the same
day, but the widow said that
new clothes were absolutely nee.
essary, and induced him to delay
the wedding two weeks. That
was a blunder on her part, for
when the appointed day arrived,
aud her house was filled with in
vited guests, the bridegroom did
not come. He had changed his
mind. She sued him for breach
of promise and got a verdict for
$4,000.

Answering q Fool Accord

right here, because 1t comes
from a Dutchman in the eastern
part of Pennsylvania, and must
be true story. The Dutchman
was never ashamed of his reli-
gion. In his neighborhood
there was skeptic who said,
"Y on can't believe anything you
can't understand" and SO the
Dutchman was asked if he
would not have a conversation
with him. He said, eyes, if,
you tink BEST"
"Have you any objections to
the neighbors coming IMP
"No, shust as you tink best"
So they made the appoint
ment, and everybody was there.
Our old gentleman came in and
laid by his hat and was intro
duced to the skeptic, and he be-
gan suddenly by saying, "Vell,
now you look here. l pleefs

Said he: 81 don't believe

met Won dog, and that dog he
had Won Of his ears stand up in
this way and the odder one he
stand down so. Now, Wy was

Now, that was very unhandy
just then, very uLhandy. He
either had to prove that the dog
did not have one ear standing
up and the other down, or else
say he did not believe it. So he
said, "I don't know"

Smiths pigs; and dere come

his sheep, and dere come ont
wool on dere packs. Now, Wy.
was dat?'
Now that was as bad as the
other, because the same pcrplex-
ity arose. He had to prove
there was wool on the backs of
the sheep, and he couldn't tell
why, and therefore he had no
business to believe it. Finally,
he said, 81 don't know"
"Vell," he said, "you are not
half SO smart as you tink you
are. Now | ask you anoderI
question. Do you you pleeve

"No, | don't believe any such
