ANOTHER AFFAIR
has recently trsnspired thsa, although kept
very quiet, has been discovered by your
correspondent, Who nov gives its first pub
LEGATION. For all you have TO do here is to
request the editor not to say anything
about tia, ''lit,le affair" and he won't.
A young man. recently married, and son OF
prominent citizen and Office holder in
Moberly, became anxious to form the &C
qasintance Of buxom In :, the daughter
Of 4 couple long residents Of this town, and
not having any friend who could or would
introduce him, for - . married man, he
could not honorsbly dance attendance upon
the las, he determined upon forming her
acquaintance in rather loose, casual
mauner. On yesterday. seeing the young
lady twho il but tiflsen) out walking, he
followed her for several blocks and wa re.
peatedly repulsed. At certain corner she
stopped to converse with friend, and her
back being toward him, took occasion to
nudge her in the ribs a. be passed her BY.
vi Course he w.- liking and thought she
would appreciate his little joke by saying
"oh my, think your awful!' But she
didn't. She paid no attention to him and
he passed on down the street. He waited
ON the corner, and noticing her enter one
of the finest dry goods stores in the city. he
also entered and found her engaged at one
of the rear counters, shopping. He cor
nered the proprietor, bought pair Of the
FINEST AND LONGEST HOSE
for ladies in the store, told the proprietor
to give them to the lady and waited to see
il done. The proprietor, whose common
sense should have told him better, did as
requested, and without opening the bundle
the lady started home, still followed BY the
Objectionable and persistent young man.
Arriving At home and recounting her adj
ventures to mamma" the bundle was un-
wrapped and the hose we're brought to
light. A SCREAM by the young lady,
. shrek by the maternal, and
away went message for dad.
By the time the old man arrived home the
ladies had wrought themselves into fever
Of excitement, aud the old man wss perfect
" bevildered by their incoherent state
ment-. But NJ last came the awful dis
closure Of the stockings and the sight Of
them LETT the Old man no other alternative
nor satisfaction than to arm himself with
an old base ball hat and away to
CLUE THE rRUAxr HUSBAND
and lecherous devotes at his daughters
shrine. The young man heard Of this and
he hies him-elf through convenient alley
to the dry goods store, tells the proprietor
the effects Of his purchase. and to remedy
all tells the proprietor to inform the old
man that it wa . mistake that the young
man had purchased the hose for his wife
and had told him TO deliver them to her.
He had misunderstood him and had given
them to the young lady. He was very sor-
~, ETC., etc. The old man was satis6ed
With the explanation and apology and
ceased his war dance. The father Of the
young man, il is rumored, hss heard Of HE
sons escapsde and il very much wroth there
at, and many say he has ordered the youth
to steer clear Of his presence in the future.
These are the facts n nearly as can be COL
lected, and il do injustice will, with
pleasure, note any correction.
