An Abused Wife.
Texas Siftinps,1


A melancholy looking woman with q
painful expression about the corners of
her mouth, applied to Col. Sam Scudder,
an Austin lawyer, for divorce.
"What are your grounds for divorce?"
"My husband gets drunk all the time.
It's dreadful for sober, hard-working
women like myself to have drunken
husband"
81 suppose you have witnesses who
know he drinks to excess"
"Witnessesl we'll, I should say so.
can prove his drunkenness by myself. "
''Of course, you have frequently seen
him in an intoxicated condition."
"Why [ have to go to the grocery all
day long, bringing him one bottle after
another. Some days I bring him half a
dozen bottles in one day."
"Good heavens! Does he drink that
much whisky? No wonder you want a
divorce"
The woman, looking around to see
that nobody was listening, and then she
said in confidential whisper:
''He don't get all OF it, You see
drink up about two-thirds Of the bottle
before [ give il to him, and then I fill it
up with water. If it wasn't for that I
couldn't live with him another day. !
Just couldn't stand it.

An eastern exchange, edited by an O

An eastern exchange, edited by an old
maid says:
''Never whip children just before
going to retire to rest. Let the
fathers caress, the mothers kiss, be the
last link between the days pain CT
pleasure and the nights sleep. Send
the children to bed happy. If there is
sorrow, punishment or disgrace, let
them meet it in the daytime, and have
hours of play and thought in which to
recover happiness. Let the weary feet,
the busy brain, rest in bed happy"
That's all right, of course, to some ex-
tent. We used to talk that way before
we were a parent. We knew a good
deal more about children anyhow before
we had to grapple with them than we do
now. We used to be a greater stickler
for moral suasion and love and parental
gush than we are how.
Our theory now in relation to children
IS changed from what it was formerly.
We maintain now, after several years
study of the primary biped, that there
is style of child that cannot goto sleep
at night unless spanked.
We have III our mind a little child of
the masculine style of architecture, who
will lie and sob, and kick the clothes off
and be mean and restless for two hours

and turn down the coverlid and fan his
person with an overshoe he will quiet
down and be asleep in five minutes.
He is not to blame for being the victim
to his habit, but he is that way, and he
can't help it. He is tied to his spank
Just as you, gentle reader, are tied to
maturer habits.
Strange freaks do often grow into
confirmed habits that are almost i'm
possible to shake off. Children are
often the victims of strange and un-
natural customs like older people.
This child, for instance. did not at
first apparently care whether he had his
spanking at s p. m. or earlier, but
later he was so regular in his demand
for corporal punishment that you could
set your watch by him. He was also
so attached to certain style of arctic
overshoe that you couldn't accomplish
anything by padding him with any
other style of chastisment. Love is a
good thing, and we often wish that
more of it had been lavished on us dur
ing our past life, but after all there are
children who do not yearn for affection
half as much as they do for armed
aggression. OF course your conscience
smites you at intervals when you go past
the little bed after the conflict is over
and peace and slumber are the victots.
Something may come up in your throat
when you see the little rebel lying with
his feet on the pillow and his head down
at the foot of the cot, and a little tear
on his eye-lashes. You feel, perhaps,
as though it looked like taking an IN
due advantage for 200-pound man to

Il SITIKE STORY,

To get snake out of bottle is te-
dious job; in whatever position it is
turned, the head will be directed up
ward, so that the only way to induce
him to come out is to place the bottle
upright or nearly so; even then the
head is withdrawn on the slightest
alram and the position is by no means
favorable to its transference to q box. IF
the door or opening of the latter viii
admit of it, the best plan is to put the
bottle uncorked into the box, and let the
snake crawl out at its leisure, first
"chocking of" " the bottle with wedge
of paper or wood, lest it should roll over
on the reptile, and fastening string to
it in order that it may be removed with
out difficulty at the earliest possible op-
portunity.
One of the most poisonous snakes I
ever possessed was brought to me in a
brandy bottle, and, after twisting, and
shaking, and tapping it for an hour
without avail, I grew impatient. The
tail just then happened to protrude
about half an inch, 80 I seized it with
my fingers, and, rapidly drawing the
body through the other hand, had the
reptile safely in my grip behind his
death-dealing jaws, now distended with
anger. But the slide of my snake-boz
was shut over, and I could not draw ii
back with one hand so I was obliged
to let him slip back into the bottle
again. Having set the box all in order
for the newcomers reception, I once
more essayed tolay hold of him by the tail
but now, most provokingly, no amount
of maneuvering would bring that useful
member to the top. Another half-honr's

We know that in our own case cor

all the other boys in the family escaped
with moral suasion. The result is just
what might have been expected. We
are the only one of all that promising

alton to-day. While the other boys
were contented to plod along and run up

P4RLI41FENT4RY RULES.

Pickles Smith arose to a question Of
order At late meeting he had offered
o resolution, and the same had been
amended by Shindig Watkins. The
President had stated the question to be
on the amendment and called for a
vote. Was he right? Brother Smith
had hunted up and carefully read the
proceedings of Congress for several
weeks, but had secured no light on the
subject. Two different tinsmiths had
informed him that the President was
wrong and he would like decision in
the club.
"Ipresume I can decide dat queshun,
said the Rev. Penstock as he arose.
L presume you had better sot down !"
sternly replied the President as he
brought his gavel down on the desk.
"In parliamentary tactics dis club am
ginerally guided by Shakespeare, but
dar am occashuns when even Shak-
speare fails to hit de case in pint.
Wheneber Brudder Smith am dissatis-
fed wild any Of de rulings of dis club he
knows de peg on which his ole white
hat hangs, an he knows de way down

Brother Smith explained in a very
humble manner that he did not intend
to question the wisdom and statesman
ship OF the President, and but for the
fact that he had been using hot cider
and cayenne pepper all day as a rene
dy for neuralgia he would probably not
have adverted to the matter at ALL

He FILL NOT SPEAK HIS FIFTH
ERS NIME.

There is boy years old whose par
ents live in White county, Ark. They
are highly-esteemed citizens and people
of decided culture and refinement.
The boy has never been heard, nor can
he be induced by any means, to utter
his fathers name, or address him even
indirectly. His strategy is more than
equal to both his parents and the other
members of the family, who have laid
all manner of plans to force him into a
single ,utterance of his fathers name.
Upon one occasion they planned not to
get him any boots until he asked for
them like the others, but this was a
failure also, for he went on through the
snow with his bare feet just as though
he were in calfskin to his knees. He
has profound respect for his father,
and will follow him about the farm for

Vacation Of Part Of Alley in Park Place

CITY CLERKS OFFICE,
ST. PAUL, Minn., May II, 1888.

Whereas, petition has been filed in this Office,
as provided by law, by order of the Common
Council of the City of Saint Paul, asking for the
vacation of that part of the alley in Park Place
addition to st. Paul, as lies west of and inme-
diately in the rear of lots numbered eight (8)
and nine (9), of said Park Place addition to st.
Paul, Mimi; and
Whereas, the petitioners state that they are
a majority of the owners of property on the line
of the vacation asked for, and that the object
and for such vacation is, that that portion
of said alleys of practical benefit and is not
necessarJ to the public.
Now, therefore, notice is hereby given that
said petition will be heard and considered by the
Common Council of the City of Saint Paul, or
committee to be appointed by them, on Tuesday,
the third day of July, A. D. 1888, at 7:30
o'clock p. m, at the Council Chamber in the

BROAD TIRES.

There should be used for the preser-
walton of roads broad-tired wagon wheels.
These would not only run easier, but
would not cut up the road when soft,
which is great source of injury. Mar
row tires and heavy loads soon make
ruts, and these in turn hold water still
worse, and, as work is done but once or
twice year, it is very expensive keep
ing them in repair, and they are seldom
good. Cities are beginning to require
wide tires, proportioned in width to the
load to be carried, for wagons to be used
in the city. IF they are good for the city
they certainly are for the country. They
have lor g been in use in England, and
they would not think of using our mar
row tires. Broad tires are also best for
use on the farm where there is much
hauling on soft ground. The time will
soon come when they will be universally
used. d.-EGchanQe

Immigration into the United States

shifts from one State to another? The

Il LITERARY COMPARISON.

" 'Tis by his wonderful insight, sir,
Into the nature of human cuackery
That Dickens gets the upper hand
OF his brother novelist, Thackeray.
But, on the other hand, you see,
By his fine satiric trickery,
Thackens gets the upper hand
OF his brother novelist, Dickery.
" For Dackens is humorist,
And Thickery's worry satirical;
And TO make choice between the two
Would really take almost miracle.
But tits absurd to instoot, sir,
Comparisons 'twixt Thickens and 'twixt Dackeray
should consider such thing
Naught but rank arrogance and quackery."
The speaker paused guest remarked:
81 agree with you, Mr.. Harrison;"
And, as the guests were all agreed
Upon the point, they instooted no comparison.

HOW BARBER DEVELOPS

"How long does it take man to learn
the barber business ?" asked reporter.
while undergoing tonsorial operation
at the hands of colored professional.
"Well, dat depends on how much
talent he has for de business" was the
quiet reply; "generally takes bout a
year"
Chow do they begin ?" asked the re-
porter.
"Dey generally begin by blackin'
boots. Den dey STAN round an watch
an ole barber strop his razah, watch him
shave. After while dey lets 'em put de
lather on. Den pretty soon he tries his
han at Shawn. Somebody comes dat's
very good natured, or nebbe amt very
particular how he's shaved, an dey puts
dar new man on fo' to try his haD', but
some ole barber always strops his razah
an keeps an eye on him. Mebbe de
new man does fust-rate, an mebbe he
DOESN'T. It all depends on his conf
dence. Confidence is de main thing in
learning de barber business.
"Do BARRIERS shave themselves ?''
queried the reporter.
"No, dey shave one anoder. When
barber wants a shave he asks friend
to do it. an den he shaves de other man.
BARRIERS never pays nothing for shaves,
unless they's away from home"
doesn't professional courtesy exist

and an abundance of dark hair, was

night, when he was playing at love, she
was to rush into his arms. Being a

he growled in a whisper: Don't lean
so hard against man." With her
head in tender repose upon his breast,
she retorted: you are paid for hold
ing me, and I intend you shall earn
Your salary" They never made up

like for the man with whom she plays.
