A Coincidence.

One hundred and forty.one money
orders were issued and the same Rum-
Der paid out at the post-ofiloe in this
city during the last week in December.
The amount received was $l,75S.58
and the amount paid out was 1853, 10.
Mr.. Pyle states that the occasion is
very rare in q post-ofice to issue and
TO pay out the same amount Of N oney
orders in one week.

A wedding Ring.

The other day, when 3 young mar
had pulled off two big mittens from his
hands and stuck one into each pocket
and backed up to the coal stove in {
Woodward avenue jewellery store, h
still had sufficient strength to ask il
they kept finger rings there. The jew
eler might just as we'll have replied
that he did not, but that finger ring
could be found at any boot and sho,
store; yet he wanted to make q sale
and he answered:
"We do. What sert Of ring d.
you want? ?"
"It is for wedding"
"Ah! Will you have a single dia
mond or q cluster 7"
81 s'pose you'd want two or three
dollars for real diamond ringf" re
marked the lover as he advanced to tho
tray.
He was carefully and tendsrly inform
ed that diamonds had gone up consid
erably since they were used in his baby
rattle. box, and then he concluded tc
explain:
'sI'm kinder down on all such non
sense as wedding rings. When q fell
low has to get whole suit of clothes,
pay the preacher, come to town and
ride on the street car, and all that, it's
expense huff. | s'pose though I'll
have to gel One."

ooh, fifty cents or six shillings, OF

to last for two weeks, that will do. II
hadn't ortsr turn rusty under three OF
four days, anyhow, as she'll want to
show of on the street cars, and all the
girls will be handling it. will look at
the so cent ones first"
The jsweler went into a decline. He
.declired to admit that he ever had
such a thing in his store. He further
said that he could hardly believe that
there was young man on earth who
could buy fifty centring 70 put on the
finger of his blushing bride.
"Do you s'pose, continued the young
man as he reached for his mittens, "Do
you s'pose I'm John Jacob Astor :
Do you s'pose I'm going to sell whole
crop of Eaters, to buy ring for. my
wife to wear washin' dishes and turn
in the coffee mill She's layin' off
now have me tobuy her shoes, hat, muff
and pertumery after we are married,
and do you think | can rush in here
and boiler out diamonds and slam
down wads OF greenbacks to pay for

The jewsler leaned his pensiye head
on his hand and looked out Of the
window, and as the young man opened
the door he halted and continued:
"Fifty cent ring Just as If fifty cents
wasn't nothing .o'rd bride tower 70

revenue. One dog to each family
might be exempted; also all dogs kept
exclusively for the sports of the field
and all terriers, for these are possibly
of some use. Let the rest be taxed
at reasonable rate and it will both
reduce the number of useless ours

ment. We are aware that a large
proportion of one legislature was
elected on the anti.dog tax plat
form, and went to Nashville
animated by the one leading desire
and heroic determination to repeal
the dog tax. Over thirty of those
patriots introduced bills for that pur-
pose in one day, and to make their
calling and election sure, the le, isla-

the law after the supreme court had
decided that it was unconstitutional
and void. This being accomplished,

power to leglslate upon this subject,
and make the canine population of
the taxing district liable to a local
privilege tax.

promptly discharged three clerks and
a book. keeper, whom he found vast
ing their time over the great fifteen
puzzle. That afternoon a bank run
ner brought him a notice of an ac
ceptance due on Tuesday. The amount
was Sl3l5.l4. He assaulted the run
ner with a stool; went to the bank
and insulted the president, and wrote
an abusive letter to the man who had
drawn the draft.
The runner had him arrested for
assault with intont to kill, and in that
way the above facts became public.
