SHE TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD.

Wriggles had some teeth pulled lately,
and took cold in his jaw. which apnllad
until it looked like prize watermelon.
He poulticed and bandaged it, all to no
purpose, and walked the floor several
nights with it, quoting choice extracts
from Bob Ingersoll's lectures, but all to
no purpose; it kept on swelling. The
other morning he remarked to his wife
that he'd give $50 to anyone that would
hit him a tremendous thump on it sud
denly without expecting it, to see if il
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?" ooh, Lord!
right here, right here, replied he, as he
turned bis jaw up and pointed to the
apex of the protuberance. Taking step
back the dear woman raised the bootjack
and hit him a regular bung- starter right
in the center Of the calamity, and smil-
ingly 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 mo-
ment, and as he danced the can-can, with
original variations, his wife smiling ask
ed "Did it relieve 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 neigh
borhood has it that Wriggles has got 'em
again. And as Mrs. Pry remarked:
THAT ere CONT will be the death o.
some o these old baldheads yet, settin'
up to watch it.

4 HORRIBLE BIRTH MARK.

Once in while there comes into Gen
eva from the vicinity of ''Huckleberry
Swamp" Ga location famous for its snak-
es,) woman not greatly advanced in
years perhaps thirty five who was
born ard has always lived there. We do
not know her name. Her features bear
the birth mark occasioned by fright at
snakes, and occasionally her walk is sim
liar to the wriggling movement of a snake
when pursueing its path. Her eyes are
not far apart in the head, small, and in
stead of being oval are diagonally set.
AT the close of q sentence when talking
she invariably runs her tongue out for
an instant. Aside from these terrible
traits, she is handsome woman with
flowing auburn hair, plump in form, and
weighs 1877 pounds. She attributes her
peculiarities to birth mark. To strang-
ers she is naturally sensitive about her
appearance.

THE ANCIENT PILLORY.

In olden times adulteration of food was
considered sufficiently criminal for sew
ere Punishment, and confinement in the
pillory was the sentence passed in 1907
upon bakers for making light weight and
upon diary woman for selling "ming-
led butter" Later on, literary piracy
(printing without due license or permis-
sion) was punished in the same way, and
many Alustrious men were subjected to
this degradation for the publication Of
matter ill-pleasing to the state. Leigh
ton, the grandfather Of the celebrated
Archbishop Leighton, was fined 910, ZOO,
degraded from the ministry and pilloried,
branded and whipped, besides having an
ear chopped and his nose split, for print
ing Zion's Plea Against Prelacy. Per
haps the most satisfactory use the pillory
was ever put to was the torture of Titus
Oates, who, in 1905 was exposed in it to
the gaze of infulriated Londoners for
three consecutive days.

GLOTHING!

Though we aim always to give our
very best and closest attention to the
purchasing of all the goods for our many
departments, yet there are some kinds
OF goods which sometimes require
little extra scrutiny and carefulness in
their selection, in order to get the best
and most desirable. Nothing REQUIRES
this more than clothing. There is so
much shoddy goods sold as C all wool, y
and SO much poorly made, ill-fitting
stuff in the markets that buyers have to
he exceedingly careful and particular in
making their purchases to get the full
worth OF their money. We have always
endeavored to give to our customers the
+" best goods at the least possible prices y
This is the secret of our success. and in
order to carry it out, we have given, if
possible, even more than our ordinary
amount of carefulness and attention to
this branch of our business, of which
we are now writing, viz. !: Clothing.
Our purchases were made direct from
some OF the largest, best and most reli-
able manufacturers in New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia. Every article
was carefully inspected by the senior
member of the firm, assisted by one of
our most experienced statesmen, with
view to quality, make, fit and style,
which, we feel, justifies us in saying that
we believe we have one of the choicest,
handsomest and most desirable stocks
OF clothing for Men, Youths and Boys
ever offered to the people of Delaware
and Eastern Maryland. Our stock is
large and of great variety in style, price
and size, so that none, large OF small,
old or young, rich OF poor need go away
disappointed. The following small list
will give slight idea (only), of some of
our goods:
Mems Cashmere Suits, all sizes,
from $3.50 to $1,000
Youths 4" /" 400 to 1900
Boys and Childrens' 200 to 500
We cannot undertake to mention all.

clothing to come and see us. We will
do you good

JOHN GRIsCoM, the Chicago starva-

class seaside hotel On Wednesday he
confessed to feeling little bit hungry
for the first time since the beginning Of

way, but after man with good sub
stantial appetite has taken nothing else
inwardly for thirty-four days, he prob
ably feels that he could really enjoy a
change without trying very hard. No

THE SENATORIAL DEADLOCK at

besides, just now, the country doesn't
