Woman at q Horse Sale.

(From the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press
"The women. bless their little
hearts, said Mr.. Drew, of the Van Ness
House, "the women can be just as
sharp at trade as the men. One win.
ter I went up to Richmond to buy a
horse. I found it all right, but all the
time I was making trade with the man
who owned it his wife kept raising an
awful fuss about selling it at the figure
I offered. If the horse was sold, she
said, how could the poor children get tc
school, she would like to know; they
wouldn't have the horse to carry them,
and it was too far to walk. Finally,
however, we made trade, and I hitched
the horse into a sleigh to drive home. !
jumped into the sleigh, but the horse
wouldn't start. I touched him with the
whip, but he merely turned around and
fixed q sad, inquiring gaze upon me.
touched him again, with the same re
suit. Then hit him little harder
and what do you think he did? He
jumped several feet into the air.
thought was going up in balloon
And when he struck the ground he
started off at a regular Maud s. gait
The fact was, you see, that horse haG
never been hitched single before in hi
life. And there was that woman taking
on so about selling him because the
children would have to walk to school
Oh, she was a sharp one!''

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-1O karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate Of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity while
the written guarantee Of the manufacturers
,ra,ranting each case to wear t,uenty years
proves that it contains ull the gold that
can possibly he needed, This guarantee
is given from actuul results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth

numbers Of these coins entered. however, into

now ceased, but as they have become disturb

number of internal revenue collection districts

1888, directed that certain of these districts
be consolidated. The result has beens redue,

FAITH


Time was when skies were ever blue,
When hearts and lips were always true;
Then life was young and youth was bright
With Hopes and Fancy's golden light,
And Faith was real.
Then friendship was sacred name,
And love as pure as vestal flame,
While every feeling nobly scorned
The act that any mortal wronged,
And Faith was strong.
Time came when all the world grew cold,
When fortune waned, and skeptics bold
Assailod belief in all that's true
The flowers OF Hope were changed to rue,
And Faith was dead.
But through the clouds blessed ray
Came shining down to light the way
When prayer from sinful lips went up
That now might pass the bitter cup,
And Faith return.
Then He looked down from heavens height;
Sad eyes were raised and saw the light
Reflected from our Savour's crown;
The chastcned heart bowed humby down,
With Faith restored.

1.-TWO SwALLERs Fun Ten CENTS. -
The latest evasion of the local option
law in CrisGeld is said TO be as follows |:
Strange young man lawful dry) TO
native youth ''Say can you tell fell
low where to get little strychnine p
Native youth: Eyes; just go round
by that oyster house and you'll see a
negro with bottle"
Strange young man goes, as directed,
finds the negro with the bottle, which
he promptly cleyates TO the mouth, as
the bar is minus glasses. The sable
yendcr equally as promptly seizes him
by the throat, and when he has felt the
Adams apple crawl up twice beneath his
hand, cries out:
"Hod on dar, boss; two swallers fur
ten cents"
Strange young man reluctantly lowers
the bottle and pays bis bill
