GREAT HARRINGTON, MASS, Jan. 81
The people OF South Esremont are threat
ening to tar and feather William Mochell,
who has just disposed of his wife at

and Richard, the Others, have borne a bad
reputation.
Ricuard had a pretty wife who, how
ever, bad not much strength of character.
William mas long admired her, and yes
terday be asked his brother what he would
sell her for.
'Well." said Richard, as he stroked his
beard meditatyely, Il hardly know how
much the little woman Is worth, but |
suppose she ought TO bring 500 at public
auction"
That's too much money for me to give,
William. A wife is costly luxury at
that price. You'll have to reduce tine
sum considerably"
Richard paused TO consider, his brother
meanwhile eyeinY him anxlopsly, and
nervously tumbling his watch-chain.
''You love her, don't you Billp'
"Certainly."
And you'll take good care of her, no
matter what hsppeusp
Yes"
you know she's little high spirited at
times. don't your
Eyes, but | guess can tame her easy
enough. She won't pull hair, will she?"
"She'll do most anything when she gets
mad. Once she chased me out Of The
house with a not poker aud doused me
win a quart OF soft soap. Oh, she's a
daisy"
Williams eyes began TO protrude and
be V. injured to say tbat he guessed he
won ldn't buy wife that day and started
70 leave. Instantly his brother caught
him.
You can have her for $50" be said
quickly, but William shook his head aud
tried To escape.
"well, take her for sos. then" But
again william tried TO squirm out OF his
bruthers clutches. suddenly an idea
struck Inn, aud he wheeled about.
"Dick," he said, "l'll give you SO for
| the girl, and not another cent It's all
can spare. because 1 want little money
for wedding trio. What do you SAY ?"
well, IT'S dirt cheap" be responded.
| "but N that's all you'll give YOU can take
! her. Fork over the cas6."
The money was paid. receipt was
given for the money. William then bired
sleigh, and driving 10 his brothers. home
took his purchased bride 10 the station,
where the pair took the cars for Albany.
