we'll go, wifc-that's to Chautauquy"
a HOWARD COUNTY FARMER AND A
BALTIMORE INVENTOR GET
SLIGHTLY MIXED.

a Baltimore man has invented 4 pat
cnt pig-pen. II is ready folding, por-
table arrangement, and is said to be
growing popular with fancy farmers
A Howard county man recently called
in TO secure one of these very elegant
habitations for aristocratic swine.
"Doyou thell patent pig.penths here ?
awe do" said the proprietor.
al want to buy one big enough to
hold two thows and pigs"
"rwo thousand pigs We don't keep
pens Of that size in stock, sir, but we
can build you one"
"Iou don't undcrihstand me, thir.
thaid two thows and pigs -
"Exactly so. But VIC really have
none of that size made up. Two thous-
and pigs would require a pen as large
as the City Hall. But we can build
YOU such structure. II would require
time-say about six months.
al thaid two thowS and pigs ="
ayes, yes, know you did. But |
think one about the size OF the City
Hall would do. However, we might
add hundred feet or so to make assur-
ancc doubly sure. shall you leave your
order, sir?"
"Look here, thirl I'm not TO he
trifled with in thiths manner! thaid
h.0 Moa1S ant figSf Can you under.
ths,and that?
BLESS my soul, sir? understand
you perfectly. We'll, suppose we throw
in building the size of the Carrollton
or stay; we could build you one as
large as the Capitol at Washington, If
you think it necessary. But really
believe my original suggestion about
the"
care you fool, thir, or do take me
for one? \ building the thizc OF the
Capitol for two ihows and pigs"
"Well, dang it all How big do you
think it ought to be? You talk as
though two thousand pigs would spread
over crca,ioni"
al didn't ihay two thousand pigs"
"If you didn't say that you didn't
say anything

"rhat'S just what / say you said

The book keeper intcrfered At this
point and prevented active hosiilities,
but there came mighty near being 4
sanguinary struggle.
Acting upon the suggestion of the
bookkeeper; the farmer reduced his
language to writing which. when done,
produced mutual apologies, and the
deal was consummaied TO the entire sat-

SAMUEL fuckers SECOND wooINo
How he Courted his Wife After They had
Been Married for Year..

Tie Cosy6sya'i0Saii''.
Although Farmer Tucker had long
dreamed Of visit to Chauiauqua, when
he actually found himself at that Mecca
ofdevout excursionisis, early last August,
the hrawny man was tempted to doubt
his own identity. The holiday sur
roundings were wholly unlike anything
to which he was accustomed in his prosy
New England home: the rich, crowded
programme offered was in striking con-
trast to the dull monotony of farm life.
When this son Of toll first entered the
auditorium, and saw that rustic amphi-
theatre crowded with thousands OF people
listening brcathleSsly to the full, sweet
tones of the grand organ, his cramped,
selfish heart was strangely touched and
expanded. For an instant the wish
crept in that he had asked Jane il she
would like 10 come too. But there was
not much time for his own thoughts,
for as the music ceased 4 white haired
speaker arose and was introduced to the
audience as Mr.. John b. Cough.
AZ this announcement Samuel Tuck
cr's satisfaction was too great to be kept
TO himself, and he said, half aloud, TO
his next neighbor, "Well, now, am
beat, to think I'm going to hear the
man I've wanted TO see for morc'n
twenty years" The young lady gave an
amused little laugh, but il fell unheeded
upon the unscphistica,ed speaker, whose
attention was already caught by the
orator.
Mr.. Cough commenced his brief
lecture with one of his inimiiablc de-
scriptions. The story was Of man who
applied for divorce, and was advised
by his eminent lawyer to try the effect
Of making love to his wife as he had
done before marrying her, instead OF
resorting TO the measure he had pro-
posed. II included also an account OF
later visit when the happy husband
withdrew his application, and fairly
danced with glee, assured the lawyer
that his experiment had worked like a
charm, that "Sally had become as
amiable and affectionate wife as a man
could ask to have"
Mr.. Coughs representation of the
scene drew forth prolonged applause ;
but Samuel fuckers interest was of too
serious nature to permit Of his joining
in the laughter. AS IL unconscious for

She-"Why?" He-"Because revenge

She-"BecauSe vengeance is mine"
And she became his in a few months
after.

FEEING WATERS.

In the course OF IN interview with
waiter, 4 Cincinnati Commercial re-
porter asked: "Wcll, how about this
feeing?"
"Of course some people fee Us. II
they do not it is all right, and if they
do il is all right we treat all alike, and
As for giving anything that is matter
for the guest to decide, not Us. In
New York the system has grown to con.

them exclusively. We are more at

more attentive, to guests who come
often and pay large bills rather than
one who comes once 4 week TO get I

give on; very little in fees. They are
what walters call miffs. They order
one portion for three people. Ofcourse
We give them all the attention possible
Knowing that We can't get rich at i,
the proprietor OF the 81. Nicholas pays
US * 4 month more than Dclmonico
would. In the ladies' part OF the house
less is obtained. Ladies are running in

ladies ever took anything strong to

.'Oh, yes, ladies come in very fire.

cups. so others will not see il. We had
a great time the other day. Some ladies
came in for champagne. They ordered
il in cups. The waiter was not smart.
Instead Of filling the cups outside he
brings them in and places them on the
table. Then he brings in his bottle OF
Pommery Sec in his silver ice-freezer
and opens the bottle with great pop.
The ladies are terrified. Everybody
looks around for the champagne and
see the ladies drinking out Of cups. or
course they all laugh. The ladies
themselves are ablshcd."

sD-A Chicago hotel clerk went last
year to Dakota. to hotel repuied to
he doing a roaring trade-ii was. He
returned lately, completely cured Of all
desire for change. The hotel, he says,
was small frame structure, with a
school section on the top floor. and
three hundred people often slept in the
house. "1'hey come in wagon loads.
The landlord made money, but he never
was around, and had To do everything.
The landlord was selling town lots and
surveying. and ran a lumber yard and
everything. The first day was there
I had TO leave the Office and drive thirty
teams around TO the barn, and help to
unhitch the horses, and all the time /
was there was half hostler, half cham
bermaid, half cook, and halfeverythIng
there was. Why, hotel clerk IS Of no
more account out there than an Alder
man here. IL would make you sick
had TO help wait on table. help make
beds, split slabs for fuel, bail out the
cellar, deal for faro bank in which the
landlord was interested. milk six cows,
