The fraudulent newspaper on Wells street

Of its readers, md attempts to cram down

that the "lnteryiew" with Louise itEcltel WIS
another; t,at the nccount Of lilo marriage OF
the Princess Btephahle was another; that the
alleged forecast Of changes in the Old md
New Testament was another, and the most
uudacIons OF all.
Tie venerable swlnller who is responsible
for these forgetles aud boasts Of them has

Something in the Bed.

Judge Pitnam has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he goes
to.bed. One night it slipped down and
as the Judge was restless, it worked its
way down toward the foot of the bed.
After bit, while he was lying awake,
his foot touched it; it felt very cold; he
was surprised, scared, and jumping from
the bed. he said:
''By gracious, Maria. there's a toad OF
something under the covers; I touched it
with my foot"
Mrs. Pitnam gave loud scream, and
was on the floor in an instant.
Nov; don't 60 to following and wax
en- up the neighbors," said the Judge.
"You get me broom or something, and
we'll fix the thing mighty quick"
Mrs. Pitnam got the broom and gave it
to the Judge with the remark that she
felt as if snakes were creeping up and
down her leg and back.
"Oh, nonsense, Maria! Now turn down
the covers slowly while hold the broom
and bang it. Put bucket of water
alongside the bed so we can shove it in
and drown it."
Mrs. Pitnam fixed the bucket and gent
ly removed the covers. The Judge held
the broom uplifted, and as the black rib
bon of the silver watch was revealed, he
cracked away at it three or four times
with the broom, then he pushed the
thing off into the bucket. Then they
took the light to investigate the matter.
When the Judge saw what it was he
said:
81 might have -known-it is lust like
you women to go screaming and fussing
about nothing 1t s utterly ruined"
Tt was you that made the fuss, not
me-" said Mrs. Pitnam.
"You needn't try to put the blame on
me" then the Judge turned in and growl-
ed at Maria until he fell asleep.
