She Took Him at His Word.

Wriggles had some teeth pulled late
ly, and took cold in his jaw, which
swelled until it looked like prize wa
termclon. He poulliced it and band
aged it, all TO no purpose, and walked
the floor several nights with it, quoting
choice extracts from Bob IngerSolls
lectures but all to no purpose; it kept
on swelling. The other morning he
remarked to his wife that he'd give $50
to any one that would hit him ire
mendous thump on it suddenly without
expecting it, to see If it wouldn't burst
the swelling. The dear woman, smil-
ing to herself, went and gathered a
bootjack, ind stepping up quietly be-
hind the old man as he was trying to
strain some coffee through his teeth,
lovingly inquired: "Where does il pain
you most, Wrigp" "Oh, Lord! right
here, right here" replied he, as he
turned his jaw up and pointed to the
protuberance Taking II step back the
dear woman raised the bookjack on
high and hit him regular bungstarter
right in the center Of the calamity, and
smilingly stepped back to await results.
The old mans knees flew TO his chin
as he shut up like patent rat trap,
and with hollow groan he rolled off
the chair on to the floor. But he was
up in moment, and as he danced the
can-can, with original variations, his
wife smilingly asked: Did it relieve
you, dearP" And as he tried to howl
out an answer old Mrs. Pry, who had
just dropped in, beat hasty retreat.
And now the whole neighborhood has
it that Wriggles has got 'cm again.
And as Mrs. Pry remarked, "That ere
CONT will be the death Of some o
these old baldheads yet, settin' up to
watch it.r

The mounds of Wisconsin afford to
the scientific world one of the most
unique subjects of study, and there is
nothing like them in the United States,
or, so far as known, in the world. They
are called, from their shapes and re-
semblance to certain animals, emblem
attic of efllgy mounds. The object of
erecting them has beePSNherto UNI
known, and hence their significance
has been hidden. There are, however.
certain facts now known in reference
to the native tribe, which promises to
furnish the Glow to their mounding. 1t
