Too Smart.

A young married man of this city,
says the Detroit Free Press, discovered
freshly-opened box of face powder on
his wife's toilet table. ITO this COM
pleXion have we come at last" he said,
and flung it out of the open window.
1t alighted safely on the head of a
gentleman who was going to church in
his Sunday best, and enveloped him
from head to foot like a spring snow
storm.
"Come down and be murdered" he
yelled up to the man in the window,
shaking his fist and describing war
dance.
"Come up and I'll fight you,"
shrieked the powder magazine above.
The wife appeared as pacificator;
armed with a whisk-broom she de-
scended to the sidewalk, and her hus-
band had the satisfaction of eng her
carefully dust off the strange man,
while she made soothing apologies in
invisible tones.
And the husband has concluded not
to interfe with his wife's toilet rela-
tons in the future.

An old gentleman who lives in this
county, near McCormack's Church,
taught two of our best young men a
lesson the other night which they will
be likely to remember. They had gone
out to call on two young ladies at his
house and remained quite late. At H.
20 the old gentleman awoke, and, think
ing it was nearly 4 o'clock, his usual
hour of getting up, installing the min
ute for the hour hand, he arose, and
waking up the servants, breakfast was
on the table at 1920, instead of the US
ual hour, 4:30 a. m. The young men
were called out of the parlor to break
fast at that solemn hour and felt con-
siderably Inundated when the old gen.
tleman told them that boys, in his
younger days, used to go to bed before
o'clock next morning when they went
on counting expedition. Finding out
his mistake in the hour he apologized
in becoming manner, and the young
men returned to town determined on
proiiting by the nights experience

And it's my desire to be no mans wife
At least, not just to-day.

And Ill keep il safe at ease;
And If one l love should come to WOO,
