MIR, Swans HIisllap.

During the rairy spell Mr.. Swan
made up his mind early one morning to
repair a lcaky place near the chimney
Of his roof and set about arranging Il
barrel on top Of dry goods box on the
rear and lowest part Of his building.
lie then cautiously climbed upon the
barrel and from that to the roof, knock
ing the barrel from its position as he
| sprang, and 1t rolled over near the back
fence. He hadn't said anything to his
wife about it, and when that good
woman came out soon afterward and
found Il clumsy box standing over the
cistern she proceeded ut once to remove
1t and also the cover to the cistern,
wishing to see how 1t Jared during so
much rain, and Mr.. Swan, who was
singing softly to himself as he made
his exam nations about, took no notice
of her. She was about to cover the cis-
tern again when she caught sight Of
Mr.. Swan moving abo ut in the most
reckless kind Of way, and uttered
slight scream. Mr.. Swan crawled
to the edge of the roof and looked down
upon her.
"What's upP" lie asked briefly.
"Why, Joseph ~ she gasped, edo be
more careful, dear"
"Pooh !" said tho confident Joseph,
"who's afraid ?" and he crawlcd back
to the chimney again, while Mrs. Swan
went into the house.
The roof being wet was exceedingly
slippery, and when Mr.. Swan began
his descent he proceeded with the ut
most caution. When he neared tho
place whore he got up, he turned
around, and lying on his stomach, he
pushed his feet over the edge Soon
his only support WAS his elbows, and as
he felt them slipping slowly from be-
meath him, his legs began to gyrate in
q painful mauner, and 81
guess he went clear to the bottom"
said the man who lives next door. ssIIe
got out O. there sudden and looked
kinder dazcd like; then he threw his
hammer agin the fence and went into
the house. Then he came out and
kicked his dog on to flower stand and
chased 1t out OF the back gate for howl
ing. Oh, he went mad, know, cause
he went in the barn and slammed things
around and stayed there all day, and
when his wife talked to him at night
he broke four cAairs and table, and I
didn't get any sleep till two o'clock.
She told my wife she was going back to
her mother, md the shutters are closed,
and my wife says they ain't been mar
ricd year. guess he's ding fool,

"First rate. Seems to me you're out late
tonight. Must have been to the circus
Ha ha ha !"
"Well, to tell the truth, l had ticket
given me, and felt kind of obliged to
use it. Had little business in town and
had to come in. But to be honest, it
isn't rs bad as | thought. l wish you'd
been there. Those horses are worth see
ing"
"WcIl, !" said the choristcr, rather sheep
ishly, 81 came in to see about those hymn
books, you know, and had two or three
crrands, and-well | had little time, and
met some parties who were going into the
show, and - l. went along with 'em.
Never went bcfore,--didn't know what Il
circus was; but, as you say, those hosses
are worth seeing. Those women had 'em
under pretty nice control"
81 was quite surprised to find those, c,-cr,
bareback riders-dressed had an idea
hat-'bareback' k'-rcfcrrcd to the cr-
riders, rather than the horses"
Then followed Il long discussion of the
merits of the different performers, whose
names were pronounced Us gliDly as Barnum
himself could have DONE
When it leaked out the ncxt day, as of
course 1t did, that those two f'pillars" had
been to the circus, there was a council
among the boys. And Davic said, with a
gcn;lencss that bctokcncd n perfect hurri-
cane:
''You can bet on one thing, fcllcrs He'll
take me TO the next one -
Then he shut his lips together and they
couldn't get another word from him.
