and so changed the looks Of things

dare come in. On the third day we
saw the cur coming down the road
from town, and everybody got inside.
He came up, looked around in great
astonishment, and his tail dropped
as if somebody had tied a brick to
it. In his bones he felt that it was
the old place, but the painting up
sorter paralyzed him. He sat down
to think it over, and all at once he
came over the fence and began to
gambol around as'if tickled to death.
He had got onto something, and it
was no use trying any longer to

A WOODEN JOKE.

Speaking of wooden legs, there Is
an old soldier employed in the gov
eminent offices in this city who has
had some experience with an arti-
fetal limb, his meat one having been
taken off at the knee. Among the
most amusing was one with a slee[-
ing-car porter. This pampered rail
way tyrant rarely earns his quarter
all round by his pretense of backing
shoes and Tipping dust fiom his vic
TINS back, but it is the habit of this
wooden-legged man to utilize the dar-
key in taking off that leg and making
him earn his hire. On one train he
struck an uppish sort of a porter-a
brother to the insufferable swell who
sings out, Last call for dinnah in
the dining-cahI" That darkey stood
around with a languid dignity that
would make a street-cOrner dude
sick at heart.
The man with the wooden leg
made up his mind he would "wake
that niger up before he Clipped in
his quarter. He told a couple OF
men in the car his purpose, and they
joined in with him. He wears his
shoe firmly fastened to the wooden
leg, having no need to remove it,
and having fallen once from a loose
shoe. After his berth had been made
up, he went to the dressing-room
and ~unstrapped his leg, keeping hold
of the strap, and then got to his
berth. Then he called to the porter:
I've got rheumatism, and can't
bend over" he said, "and l wish
you'd pull off that shoe"
The porter united the shoe and

tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't

tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't
come.
"Pull hard,' said the passenger.
The darkey gave it another pull.
"Oh, brace against the berth and
pull" said the passenger.
The porter had blood in his eye.
He put his foot against the berth
and pulled like a dentist. The pass
enger let go the strap, and the dar-
key fell back with the shoe and the
leg. 149~ ~44& 80 s.
my God! You've pulled off my
leg" shrieked the passenger.
The porter dropped it, and with
eyes bullying and his teeth chatter
ing, he broke from the car. He con-
cealed himself in a corner of the bag
gage-car, and pretty soon the two
other conspirators came in, pretend
ed they didn't know where he was,
sat down on a trunk and talked over
the awful condition of the man whose
leg had been pulled off, and about
the penalty the darkey would have
to suffer if he should be caught. The
porter was Of no service to anybody
that night, even after they explained
the joke to him.-Afzuaukee Sentinel.

BURIED MONEY.

Last Friday week ten Spanish mill
dollars were found buried near a
ditch on Mr.. Sidney Thompsons
land on upper Lower Creek. He
and a young man named Porch
were resetting a fence-as we are
informed-near a ditch bank when a
part of the latter caved in revealing
to them eight silver dollars piled on
top of each other, about six inches
from the top of the ground and
about the same distance from the
brink of the ditch. Subsequently
Mr.. Will MCGOWAN found two more
of them. They were all Spanish dol
lars and dated from 1860 1--WE think)
up to 1900. The one we saw was
made in 1897 during the reign Of
CharlesIV Who buried this money?
