An Absent Minded Farmer.

Wednesdays Times contained some
singular accounts Of absent minded
ness. which, it is believed, are rivaled
by the freaks of a farmer living at
Shut Corners, a hamlet two miles
from Coble kill. Last summer he
drove to Cobleskill, accompanied by his
wife. to do some trading. After spend
ing several hours in the village. he drove
home alone, did his chores and,
upon going to the house. was provoked
that his better-half, who was not to be
seen, had made no preparation for sup
per. He failed to find her in the house,
and in a few moments she arrived home
in a conveyance from the village, where
she had been anyioasly awaiting her
husbands appearance. At another
time he rode horse to the village TO
have it shod. He was engaged until
evening. when he walked home, after
waiting some time for ride. His wife
recalled to his mind the fact that he
had left his hor.,. in the village. and he
returned Tor it.-1roy IN T. Times.

An Unreasonable Woman.

s'Not very long time ago in one OF
our dry goods stores,'' said a merchant
to a reporter of the Globe, 's there was
young fellow waiting on customers,
working hard, standing on his feet all
day, getting no thanks, and having
altogether deuced hard time of it. One
night, about the time for closing up, one
of these elderly, angular females / speak
of got hold of him. She was looking
for piece of goods, and couldn't find
what she wanted. He knew she couldn't
find what she wanted, and wouldn't
find what she wanted under any con-
siderations, before he had been showing
her the stock for five minutes. But she
hung on and persisted in looking at
everything. 1t was dark; everybody
was going home or gone; the store was
shut up, and still she wouldn't go.
"sWell,' he says, madame, I don't
think / can suit you anyway
"'Weil, you are here to wait on folks,
amt youp' she says.
sstOh, yes he says, sarcastically,
'that's what I'm hired for. I'll wait on
you all night if you say SO.
ssCan't you show me q remnant of
that materialp' she says.
"sOh, yes he says, 4 can, but it's
not what you want, l know
"sHow do you know it's not what I
wantP Perhaps I am a better Judge of
what I want than you are. Perhaps l
am He got out the remnant and un-
wound it from the board. She looked
at it and feltof it and shook her head.
"sNo, don't like that, at ALL
ssThat was more than the fellow could
stand. He caught up the board and hit
her clip over the head with it.
ss'Well, how do you like that?' he
says. Then, of course, there was the
deuce to pay. The elderly, angular fe-
male went off in high dud geon, and the
next morning complained at headquar-
tiers of what she called the outrageous
conduct of the salesman. But when the
manager came to hear his side of the
story, he said he thought he should have
done the same under the same circum-
stances, and sent him back to his desk.
Now, like that. I think it would be q
very good system if a fellow was allowed
to whack an unreasonable customer
over the head with a board whenever
she exaspersted him beyond reasonable
inlits.-Bosto,5 Globe. Is

Another LIE Saved.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, Of Cincinnati, O.,
writes: Early last winter my daughter was at
tackled with 4 severe cold which settled on her
lungs. We tried several medicines, none OF
which seemed to do her any good, but she
continued to get worse, and finally raised
large amounts of blood from her lungs. We
called in family physician, but he failed to
do her any good. We then called in a physi-
cian-a most skilIful professor in one Of our
colleges-he said that she could not get well.
At this time friend who had been cured by
DR.. WIN. HALL's BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS,
advised me to give it a trial. We then got
bottle and before she had used it all up she
began to improve, and by the use OF three
bottles was entirely cured.

THERE is an anecdote afoat which makes
tender appeal to every man who has had the
toothache. We have. read it again and again,
with fearful eyes, because it brings up 50
many fond memories of the past. There are
that exquisite one when, seated in the dem
lists caair, you see flashing before your
amazed eyes the forceps which are about to
perform an urgent duty. At that time your
birth seems to be the worst thing that ever
happened to you. The beads of agony are on
your brow, and the smiling operator Is q
double dyed demon. When a gentleman on
the parlor floor heard terrible noise, fall,
a crash above him, he inquired if murder
were being committed ii the house. and he
was a great deal nearer the truth than he
dreamed. But his friend qfieted his alarm
BY saving, with a blsnd smile: ''Oh, don'tbe
troubled, that is nothing. The doctor has
got another man down and is persuading him
to have his tooth out. Chicago Herald.

The Cynic.

One of the most disagree able human
beings in the eynic who does not believe
in good or disinterested motives. He
distrus,s every one. He is skeptical as
to the sincerity Of all men, and he be-
lieves that self-interest prompts all their
actions.
Whenever you see one OF these men,
you see one who is SO filed with selfish
ness that there is not room enough in
side him for it. and for all the egotism
he tries to carry, and you will see it
oozing out of him at every pore. These
two attributes crowd his soul into a
small compass. press on his heart until
there is not room for it to develop a
generous impulse, and take possession
Of his mind until liberal or noble
thoughts cease to exist there.
He is liberal enough in one way
liberal in unbeliefs--but narrow
minded bigot in his beliefs. When he
hears of some apparently unselfish act,
he begins hunting for a selfish motive,
and should he fail to find it, he says:
swell, I can not understand what he
does it for, but e must expect to bene-
fit by it somehow Certainly, he can
not understand a ulSiuIeECSGtu ttcl OI
kindness. because all his own motives
are prompted BY self-interest. He
knows OF no higher motives.
The cynic is simply what he believes
all other men-who are notfools-to be.
His heart is not large enough to con-
ceiYe chivalrous act, his brain not Of
sufficient dimensions to keget or be de-
livered of noble or generous thought.
Whenever you meet man of this
kind, who suspects that everybody in
the world is trying to take advantage of
him, you may be sure that that man
would beat everybody in the, world if
lie could. Whenever you SEGA man at
tributing mean or sordid motives to
others. you have found a man who him
self is mean at heart, and you have dis
covered man who may have many ac-
auaintances, but very few friends.
Snakes even the most yenomous, are
supposed to have been created for some
rse3ul purpose. and so the cynic has
doubtless place in the e onomy OF ma
tule that it IS necessary he should fill,
but he is very disagreeable necessity.
