That Boy
Mr.. Wagon was the victim.

His son Johnny Is q mlscheVIous
lad. and the other day resolved
to play a trick on lis brother
He arranged certain attachments
to that brothers bed. worked by
cords running to his own room,
and then went off fishing. While
be was gone, his brother was sent
away to be- absent over night, and
d lot of company arrIv al at the
house. Mr.. Wagon gave up bis
room to them and occupied his
absent sous bed. Johnny Got
home late at night, and wholly
ignorant Of this change OF ar
engagements went to his room,
which was next to bis mother 5
and prepared to perpe'rate hl-
designs upon his brother Tue
first proceeding Was to haul Oh a
cord which ran between the
blankets spread on bis fathers
bed, and being fastened at the
top would pull the clothes off the
bed. Mr.. Wagon was tucked 10
when suddenly the clothes began
to slip and be found himself nn-
covered. He thought he might
have kicked them off and sat
up and took hold of the clothes
to pull them back. Meantime
johnny bad yanked another cord
which pulled the pillow off the
bed. Mr.. Wagon discovered his
loss and reached for the pillow
and when be got it the clothes
went off again. He was much
excited ct that and again went
after the clothes and again lost
the pillow. That time the pillow
| went under the bed and Mr..
Wagon went under after it and
Immediately came out again and
sVore prodigiously, for the floor
was strewn with chestnut burs,
and he had gotte q into them. He
resolved to scold the chamber
maid for leaving so many pins
about. Once more be made an
| attempt to eUs Sue prno"o
"a 4 was way under, he made a
| rantlc dive for it, and just then
johnny who was shaking with
laughter, pulled the last cord
| and the whole bed came down
upon Mr.. Wagon and jammed
him upon the burs. His frantic
bowls brought his wife and
friends to the rescue. and be was
flashed out. And then the gas
was lighted and somebody dis
covered the cords running to
Johnpy's room. Mr.. Wagon at
| once fastened there. The lad
explained that be thought his
brother was in the bed, but it
didn't make any difference. His
yells were mistaken by man
sleeping half mile away for
cry of fire. and he jumped out of
bed so hard that be sprainco
toe. And the next day when
Johnny went to school he got
spanked again because be
wouldn't sit down, and is now
resolved to run away from home
the first chance he gets, as this
part Of the country is a mighty
discouraging region for a boy.

quietly rolled out, leaving Mr..
Goodwin, and bearing away his
bride. Then there was conster-

groom, put in his best slocomo-

how it was, and proceeded to
obtain proper authority as quick

Nothing is more charming and attractive
than athoroughiy healthy perfectly formed
woman; a bright-eyed, rosy, laughing, joy
ous, appy-faced girl, one who finds keen
pleasure in merely living. An invalid wife
or mother is constant object of sympathy
in an otherwise contented household.
Happy the home whose women folk enjoy
perfect health. In my practice ! have
always recommended sickly women to use
Browns Iron Bittcrs. In case of irregu-
larities, dyspepsia indigestion, heartburn,
nausea, sour stomach, nervousness and eX-
haustivc debility, find it exceeds all other
remedies as true medical tonic. itneveI

strengthen the general system, and espe'

distress; and what satisfies me most is, that
the cures, although in some instances grad
