1t Looked Squaliy for a While

A young lawyer who has been recently
married to beautiful bells, was made the
victim of a malicious anonymous letter that
| might have resulted seriously to his domestic
happiness. 1t seems that the young man
1ad made an enemy of man who has an
| office 50 near that hs can at times overlook
his movements. A few days ago tbs young
| mans bride received an anonymous letter
| saying: AS nav groom as your husband
ought not to have young lady call on him
in his office, and he ought not to take her in
his arms and kiss her Weinesi lay, Ills a.
a." The young wife was almost heart
broken. She cried until her ewes were red,
and when her lord came home upbraided him
bitterly. She showed him the letter, and as
he didn't have any explanation but denial,
matters began to look very interesting around
his home. He couldn't think who would tell
such falsehood about him, and he started
down town in very moody condition. As
he sat in the corner of the car brooding over
his trouble, an idea suddenly struck him 1t
had the same effect on him as if he had sat
down on pin. In an instant he was run
ming at full speed homeward, while the pas
sengers in the car were congratulating them
SELVES on their narrow escape from a dan
gerous lunatic. Bursting into his wife S
room he fairly danced with delight as he ex-
claimed: Don't you rememberl You were

A Variation of the Compass in Georgia


In the early history of Gwinnett two
neighbors disagreed as TO their land lines.
and agreed to have the dividing line settled
by the county surveyor. This surveyor was
fond of his toddy, fact not unknown to
one of the parties in interest
On the day the line was run one of the
parties notified the surveyor that just be
hind tree to which he desired him to run
was bottle of old corn liquor, and if he
happened to hit that tree the bottle was his
Strange to say, the surveyor hit that tree
centrally. To do this it was necessary to
make "a curve but this was not hard to do,
and when the other party protested that the
line was not straight one, the surveyor
siienced him with the remark that it was
necessary to angie little to meet the varia-
lions of the compass.
The line was duly established, and to this
day it stands as the dividing line between
two tracts of land. 1t is needless to say it
is not Straight liue. but it has been duly
surveyed, and that do settla it,
