COLLISION WITH AHAIRPIN.
Old Mr. Eotfe's Unfortunate Discovery.

"Marchy weather" remarked old Mr.. Rottle,
as he seated himself at the break fast table and
examined his napkin TO see whether he recog-
nized the stains.
1t was one Of those rare mornings when all
the boarders had come down early TO breakfast
an incident, the Landlady remarked which
restored her Pickering faith in human nature.
No one answered old Mr. RottIe's remark He
took the conversational trick, as it WERE and
everybody waited for his second lead.
The Bank Clerk was bending all his faculties
to decide whether the egg he had just opened
was genuine or a counterfeit, and the Younger
Of the Two Maiden Ladies, who disliked con-
denscd milk in her coffee, was watching for an
opportunity to appropriate unnoticed goodly
share Of all the natural articles on the table.
AS for the Young Lady BOarder she was
busy with the marriage notices in the morning
papers. and Of course could not be expected TO
answer Old Mr.. ROttle finished his oatmeal,
and finding that he bad left his spectacles up
stairs, gave mp attempting to read the paper
Thanks, Mrs. Codhooker," he said affably,
addressing the LandIady, you may give me
bit of hash this morning. The fact is" added
the old gentleman TO the table generally, :" l
find it delightful to be in a really homelike
boarding house, where | can feel that the food
is trustworthy, and | am not continually tor
tured by the profound conviction that every
article of food l eat is composed of alien sub
stances.
remember" he continued genially, "when
I was at college years ago, we boarded in com
mons, and you never could tell just what you
ate The food was fearfully and wonderfully
made. One day my chum, who was sitting
next to me eating apple pie as calmly as you
| please, all at once struck stratum of unmis-
taxable kerosene III that pie, real coal oil,
mixed with the pie crust, and ap-"
Old Mr.. Rottle suddenly stopped his reminis-
cences. He was on his last mouthful of hash,
and there seemed to have been a collision of
some sort. With an agonzed expression on
his face, he slowly produced piece of bent
wire. There was no room for doubt. Even the
Landlady had TO admit it, 1t was hairpin.
There was pause before old Mr.. Rottle
gathered strength to speak, and then he said
in tones of deepest sorrow as Of one whose con-
! fdence is shattered:
"Mrs. Codhooker, did not expect this of
| you. If | were young and my eyesight sound, 1
shouldn't mind, but to me, an old man, and my
| spectacles upstairs-it is cruel"
The Landlady in a Mortified state murmured
that it was mistake. But somehow the ex-
cuse didn't seem very fitting, and the kerosene
pie episode repained unfinished. Old Mr.. Rot
tie sat in silence slipping his coffee in a suspi-
cious manner, and the Bank Clerk remarked to
the Landlady that perhaps he had better take
another egg and be on the safe side.

Having read the story about the little Sheriff
in ArO0stook who tried to arrest the big farmer,
a friend in Franklin County sends Us an anec-
dote about Franklin Sheriff He was much
under the usual size, but full of pluck He
was sent to arrest a notorious offender and
found him on a hillside He was a burly, two
hundred FOUNDER. Grinning at the officer, be
lay down on the ground and said If you get
me you will have to take me" The situation
was favorable aud the Sheriff was quickwitted.
Without word he took one of the big mans
feet under each arm and started down hill with
him as fast as he could 90. The fat man got
such humping that he begged for mercy. and
the officer had no trouble in completing his
arrest.

HaIERreeds in Minnesota.
minneapolis (Minn.) Journal.

Two of the best-known bank Presidents of
st. Paul welded women of Indian blood in
their veins, and lived with them honorably
and lovingly, and the children of these unions
are among the esteemed people of the Capital.
Given a sufficient lapse of time and there
would seem to be no reason why some of Min
nesota's first families should not look back to
a Sioux ancestress with as much pride as the
+. +. VS. feel in Pocahontas. Such marriages
were not uncommon in the early days among
the pioneers before white women began to come
to the frontier.

The daughter of a clergyman who cares for a

enough to say her prayers without stumbling,

he's not orthodox in his views"
Little Susie quarreed with her still smaller

Where 1t Was.

An old coIored musician was engaged &c fur
nish music at a country wedding which was to
take place a number of miles from his house.
The old darky with the box containing the
fiddle under his arm, had almost reached his
destination, when he was overtaken by his son,
painting and blowing: Daddy-you has-done
forgot de-de bow-ter-de fiddle" "Whar
am it niggah ?" "At home ob course" The
trip back, however, was made in very good
time, as the exasperated old negro chased the
boy the whole distance, hitting an occasional
whack at him with his cane.

The population of Tallapoosa in 1884 was So, one

At the present rate of increase the population of

There are over forty business houses express, tel

e0sT OF BUILDING and LlVIRe.

The cost Of building a house il Talapoosa IS
about one-hrd the cost of building the same house
in the North. The cost of living is much less than
in New England and the West, and with the mild
equable climate very little fuel is necessary, and
prices. Sickness is stranger 10 Tallapoosa, and
vegetables can be raised eight months in the year.
With the present advance in real estate home that
now costs the settler $500 can probably be sold for
four times that amount one year hence.
