Husband Boxed Me.

The other day there was a suit in Justice
alley, Detroit, between two Wayne county
farmers regarding the ownership of four
teen unmarked grain bags Each side was
prepared to stoutly swear that the bags
were his, and each had witnesses to back
his testimony. The complainant swore to
buying the bags at certain store on a GER
tain time, and his hired man swore to hand
ling them as they were taken from the
wagon. The defendant swore that he pur-
chased them at a certain place on certain
time, and his wife was called to the witness
stand to tell what she knew about it. She
was large, feshy woman, and very much
bewIldered.
''Land save me, but was never in such
crowd before, and / feel as if should
faint ]" she gasped as she took the witness
stand.
"Never mind fainting Mrs. X" said the
lawyer. 'Tell the jury what you know
about those bags"
''Ohl lands but know all about 'em,"
We bought 'em on the 10th of November!

''Oh, dear, oh. but while we were jaw

A Remarkable Family.

The entire twenty children are in splendid
health. OF the four who are dead three
met their death by accident, while the
fourth died OF yellos fever in Memphis two
years ago. The mother still does all the
housewOrk, milks four COWS daily and takes
the proiuee 10 market She is the fnan-
cler of the family and declares that she
needs no lawyers to keep her affairs in

Better is a little righteousness than a
thousand subscribers who cheat the prin-
ter.
A wise man maketh glad father, and a
prompt paying subscriber causeth an editor
TO laugh.
Folly is joy that is destitute of wisdom,
but delinquent subscribers cause suffering
in the house of newspaper maker.
All the ways of mah are clear in his
own eyes, except the way the delinquent
subscriber has in not paying for his news
paper.
Better is the poor man that walketh in
integrity, and pays his subscription, than
the rich man who telleth the collector to
call again.
Judgements are prepared for scorners,
stripes for the backs of fools and lasting
punishment for him who loafeth about the
streets and payeth not for his newspaper.
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. is
a proverb sadly realized by the publisher
who sends out bills
A righteous man hateth lying, hence a
publisher wakes wroth against a subscriber
who promises to call and settle on the NOR
row and calleth not.

Be careful that there is water In the

The largest flies may be found on the

If you can't catch aspeckled trout, get

In throwing for trout double skies always

If the trout don't rise at once, try yeast

Go to your uncle for small trout, for trout
always spawn their young.
If there Is too much water in the pond,
dilute it with whisky.
Some fox hunting fishermen are mean

Pest OF the Household.

The boy We are going to tell you about,
was named Richard, and was the youngest
of a good-sized family, and so, of course,
the government rested mainly on his shoul-
dcrs.
He really had q very hard time of it, for
often his fathers young lady cousin, and
his older brothers and sisters, would not
obey promptly, and sometimes his father
did not wheel into line as quickly as he
should.
With his mother he had no trouble at all;
she always minded beautifully and, as he
said, ''had more sense than all the rest"
Richard was just going out of skirts into
pants, and was quite handsome, but he
didn't care for that; he only cared to gov
ern. There was little lock of hair, that
hung down On his forehead, just as you see
it in the picture of Napoleon, and as he
was 50 determined to have everything his
own way, the family used to call him the
little Napoleon.
Once when his father and mother were
away for short time, his papa's cousin
tried to make him do something she thought
he should.
He looked at her calmly and said, ''Why,
Julia, l wonder al you trying to boss me,
when you're only my cousin" And then,
after second thought, turning with look
of deep Indignation, ''Yes. and only my
second cousin at that" which completely
settled her.
Richard had little bed in his papa's
and mammals room. which he had slept in
ever since he was baby. As he got older,
be and his papa used to have many argu-
ments on the subject of his going into the
other room with his brother to sleep.
When he got really boots of his own, he
ALWAYS set them just where his papa stum-
bled over them; and lie always had to tie
his necktie and brush his hair before the
mirror at the identical moment his father
wanted to do the same thing.
So, one morning his papa was unusually
rebelliou5 and obstreperous abous The way
things were arranged, and on gong out,
said: ''Really, Richard Lee Wilmington,
don't intend to occupy the same room
with you one nj ght longer" and shut the
toOr quite loud. Richard always hated to
near his father give him his full name; he
knew it meant trouble, especially when he
put In the middle name. He always found
MS father harder to manage for some time
lfterward
He looked at himself in the glass quietly
md thoushsfully, while he finished settling
his collar, and then turning to his mamma,
whom he loved to distraction, he said:
''Well! mamma, think if any body has
o go in another room to sleep, papa ought
o go hisself, for once he was no relation to
Tou at all, and I've always been"

she urged hers forward step, passing him,

feet touched the grave. He turned upon
her with an oath.

came to his death.
