His Wife Number Two.
THE COLONEL KILLED HIS FIRST, Thu
THE SECOND PROVED TOO MUCn.

Old Colonel Porterield WAS hard
man. He worked his wife--a good,
patient woman-to death upon his
plantation. On her d ath bed, when
too late, his eyes were opened to the
great wrong he had dene and lie beg
ged her forgiveness.
1t is easy enough for me to forgive"
she gasped, "but my forgiveness will
not cause your coming punishment to
be lessened. | feel that you are going
TO be punished on this EARTH" She
turned her face away from him aud
died.
The Colonel's season of grief was
not long. He soon put on his best
clothes and showed himself at hog
killings and other places of amusement.
His friends were shocked, but said
nothing. Soon there came into the
neighborhood graceful woman, An
toinette Polworth. The Colorel met
her and was charmed. He called on
her. She received him kindly and
eventually they were married.
Six months OF almost unbroken hap

face sometimes wore an anxious eX-
preston. His wife was not so fair as
she had been, and the Colonel had
discovered that the waving hair which
he had so much admired was some
times at night hing on q corner of the
mantel piece. He found, also, that he
had been deceived ID other ways, and
the spirit of revenge arose in his i'll
jured breast.
"Antoinette,' the Colonel one day
remarked in voice which had lost
much of its wonted gentlencss, "CAro-
line is i'll, to-day, and | want you to
go out and weave jeans for the negroes.

cannot afford to see the loom idle
"Well, then, don't look at ~ An
toinette carelessly replied.
The Colonel nibbled his lip and
sternly said: "Woman, | want no
foolishness.'
''Don't have it, them
81 won't. Go out there and weave,
or you'll feel the ungentle force of re-
tributive AUTHORITY"
Antoinette laughed. The Colonel
took hold Of he~ nose and gave it
turn as though he would unscrew it.
Antoinette put aside q stocking which
she had been darning, knocked the
Colonel down with a lightning ike
slap, put one foot under him, threw
/ him across the room, sat down and
resumed Ter peaceful occupation.-
After white the Colonel sat up and
gazed at her in astonisbment.
"Antoinette," he feebly said.
"What, dear?'
"Iou needn't weave"
Il thank you, DEAR
"1ou have convinced lne that wo-
man should have few rights, out, say,
how did you do it: Where did YOU
acquire the facts which you have just
embodied in such an unanswerable
argument
Colonel" she replied, ''pardon me
for not sooner telling you. For many
years | was the cannon ball woman
and the iron jawed maiden in the cir
Gus. Don't get excited, dear. | shall
not give you another exhibition until
you attempt to get divorce from me.
Then | will take you up in my teeth

The Colonel went out, leaned against
horse block and groaned. His first
wife's prediction was verified.

a Game FOR Children.

The little ones will thank us for re-
printing description of the following
new game for children ia the Little
FOlks' Magazine. 1t is called the game
of Names IL
- Each player IS provided with 3 long
slip of paper and pencil. and if one Of
the players has a watch 60 much the bet
ter. If not /, clock must be used. One
commences BIZ calling out: "Girls'
names commencing with "A two minutes
allowed. Each player then writes down
all the girls names that he Cor she) can
recolIect, and at the expiration of the
two minutes time is called, Then the
Oldest player reads from his Tor her) slip
all the names he OF she has written down
SAY Amy, Amabel, Alice, Ann, Annie,
Amanda, Alleen, etc. All the other.
players, as the names are read out, cancel
any name read out. If, for instance, all
have written Amy, all cancel Amy, and
count one mark Say six players have
Amabel and four have not, each of the
six counts one mark, those who have not
thought and written down Amabel get
nothing for Amabel, and so on through
the list. The object Of the game is to
teach the children all girls and boys
names. When the marks have been al.
lotted for all the names the total Of the
marks are read out and noted on each
slip. The players then proceed in simi-
lar manner for all boys names conmenc-
ing with A, such as Alfred, Abel, Adam,
Andrew, Arthur, etc. The game can be
continued till all the letters Of the alpha
bet are exhausted. But practically
young players rarely care to do more
than thirty sets, or fifteen letters con-
~secutively. Various names crop up, and
the memory is we'll exercised, and chill
6ren generally vote it great fun. Any
one introducing pet or fancy names, such
as Pussy, Kit, Teddy, etc, forfeits two
marks, unless it be arranged that they be
allowed.
