No Match at that SIeighride.
from the Philadelphia Times

Z N0A11 VIZ I111~'N0
There is one young woman in Allen
town, Pa, who never will go sleighing
again. On Monday night, in company
with young man from the lower end of
Lehigh County, she went into the coun-
try for a sleighride. When returning at
midnight the young man fell asleep, and
IN reaching for handful of snow, the
young woman fell from the sleigh. The
young man slept on III peace and quiet.
The horses trotted back to their stable.
In half an hour the woman entered Allen
town on foot and went to the stable to
get her purse, which had been left in
the sleigh. The young man had no use
for the purse just at that time, and sub
sequently the young woman had no use
for the young man.

the general, who was on the committee
on military affairs, often gave him by
mistaken identity important news. Men
gave him facts supposing he was the
general. The greatest mistake of this
kind, however, occurred one day at a
mass meeting at Warren, o. Garfield
was one of the speakers, and ne and
Smalley came in together. Garfield got
off the train first, was Immediately sur

Rugged. AS soon as the embrace was
over the pretty young woman surprised
Smalley by throwing her arms about his
neck exclaiming "my dear general, and
kissing him. The girl had not seen
Garfield alight, and she took Smalley

are not praying for much rain. Others,
