He was Careful.

A young man, evidently from part of the
country where the shrek of the railroad en-
CINE has never been heard, called on the County
Clerk the other day, and in busineSs-like way
asked:
Fell any yitf"
"What 2"
Marriage license fell any yitY"
No; same price"
"Well, come in the other day, an er feller
told me they mought fall arter County Court
met"
mo; they are the same price"
Pm mighty sorry NV that, fur I've ben en-
gagged TO er gal fur about two year. i loves her
nightly an she says she amt goin' ter wait
on me no longer, but wouldn't give s. fur no
set of license that wuz ever writ out. It's mighty
hard to give her up, but reckon L II have TO
let her slide"
Look here" said the clerk " Tell you what
I'll do for you. III pay for your license"
Much obleeged, Capn. Just write 'em out,
an I'll 90 down an break the good news to
Susan. tn tickle her mighty nigh 70 death
when she hears my good luck"
The license was issued, and the young fellow
hurried TO the wagon-yard, where Susan was
stopping, and conducted her 10 the office of q
Justice Of the Peace.
"Cap'n, whst'll you take to marry us2"
The magistrate told him and shaking his
head he mumbled:
KANT efford TO pay that much these hard
times"
Nobody will perform the ceremony any
cheaper"
wall, then, Susan, you'd better 20 back 10
the wagon-yard, while j go rOun' an see ef
can sell the license to some other feller i hate
TO give you up Sue, but reckon you'd better
marry Bill. He's "A reckless sort NV Teller and
don't mind 'stravagance."

HE WAS GREEDY.
The Plumbing in the Turkey Did Net Satisfy HI


Purchasers OF food in some Of the markets
are not always sure Of what they obtain. A
tall man Of middle age went up 10 a market
stall some time since and began TO examine the
display of turkeys and chickens.
Did you wish large or small bird, sir"
said the proprietor, persuasiyely waving his
hand toward an extensive army OF turkeys Of
all Sizes
We'll you See" said the buyer, confiden-
tally, II thought I'd give 'em good, solid
dinner at home, and the family's pretty large,
so / need good deal"
That's right" said the dealer, genially.
1--WE have a fine line of young holiday COB
blers. Here is beautiful bird" he added,
taking down large turkey. Weight twenty
pounds without trimming; nothing better,
large. delicious and economical"
After some bargaining and proof of the
weight, the head of the large family made the
purchase and departed with a light heart and
a heavy turkey.
The next morning as the dealer in fowls
was counting his gains, his customer appeared
wearing rather sour expression, and laying
two-pound section of lead pipe on the counter
be said deliberately: when buy a turkey
most generally expect TO do the stufiing my
self; any way, not have them plugged up be-
forehand. i want 10 know how you explain
that pipe which my wife found in the turkey
you sold me last night"
You say you found this in the turkey?"
inquired the dealer, examining the lead with
great apparent interest. "Well, it's really
remarkable what a healthy turkey will eat,
but, my dear sir, you can't expect me TO know
just what Connecticut farmers fatten their
poultry on, can your"
"oh, you can't fool me like that" said the
angry purchaser of lead pipe. You stuffed
that pipe into the turkey 10 make il heavy,
and you're fraud"
See here, my friend" said the dealer. i'm
| pressiyely, leaning over his counter what is
the matter with that bird2 Don't its pipes
draw well? Isn't the plumbing in that turkey
good? Aren't the sanitary regulations per-
! feet? And yet, when everything about that
turkey is A No. i, and the drainage fine, you
come around here and tell me i am a fraud
The trouble is you want too much, but if you
| think you can come in here and get a whole
gas main with 20-pound turkey you're mis-
taken. Now get right out of here or FIJI put a
lead pipe into you"
And the victim Of the heavy weight turkey
didn't wait to talk any more, but he hurried
sadly away.

Lovely Cnmnlexinn

"What a lovely complexion" we often hear
persons say. Il wonder what she does for it?'
In every case the purity and real loneliness of
the complexion depends upon the blood. Those
who have sallow, blotchy faces may make their
skin smooth and healthy by taking enough Of
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery" to
drive out the humors lurking in the system.
