SHE TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD,

WrIggles had some teeth pulled lately and
took cold in his jaw which sweled until it looked
like prize watermelon He poulticed it and
bandaged it, all to no purpose, and walked the
floor several nights with it, quoting choice ex-
tracts from Bob IngersOlls lectures but all to no
purpose; it kept swelling. The other morn
ing he remarked to his wife that he'd give $50 to
on it suddenly, without his expecting it, to see if
1t wouldn't burst the swelling. The dear woman
smiling to herself went and gathered bootjack,
and stepping up quietly behind the old man as
he was trying to strain some coffee through his
teeth, lovingly inquired: "Where does it pain
you most, Wrig?" "Oh, Lord! right here right
here" replied he, as he turned his Jaw up and
pointed to the apex of the protuberance. Taking
step back the dear woman raised the bOOtiack
on high and hit him regular bungstarter right
in the centre 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 a hollow groan he rolled off
the chair on the floor. But he was up in a mo-
ment, and as he danced the can-can with original
variations, his wife smilingly asked: did it re-
lieve you, dear?" 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 'em
again. And as Mrs. Pry remarked, THAT ere
cOmit will be the death O. these old badheads
yet settin up to watch it."-Neoc Orleans Times
