crafty, invited his spouse to select q hand
some present for their charming daughter

after examining and admiring innumersble

view of the fact that the top crop of cotton

and the ungathered staple in the field had

His thesis on economy was answered BY a

enlivened by pleasant sallies, eventuated in
the following novel compromise: Slips of

valued at Sl75; an Estruscin necklace with
diamond pendant, valued at $3.50; solitaire
diamond ring, valued at Sl25; a pair of

The explosion WAS sach as to be heard several
squares away. The anvil was torn literally
to pieces. The glass windows in the build
ing were I'll broken into the smallest OF
pieces, but the only damage done t. the
chest was to dent in the door so it could not
be opened by usiDg the lock. 1t took an ex-

door after the burglars had left
