ON LIFE,S THRESHOLD,
Young Tommy, Goat, q Hose and {
Pretty Grave.

Young Tommy, a Goat, a Hose and a
Pretty Grave.
A dear, benevolent old gentleman gave to
an enfant terrible a fine goat. This was few
days ago The youngster was naturally de.
lighted with his pet. His gave out vaguely
to his friends and enemies that he was train.
ing an animal which would be a terror to the
nefghborhood. Doubtless the goat would
have proved very disturbing element in
society IL its youthful owner had not trained
1t a trifle too fine.
1t came about in this wise:
The goat-and of this there is no doubt
stood badly in need of washing. Tommy,
as its owner may be called for the occasion,
is not generally overfond of washing but as
regarding goats he was an ardent lover of
cleanliness. So he got garden hose and
attached 1t to hydrant Then he tied up
the goat securely and played upon it till the
animals hair was as clean as the streets of
Pittsburg will be at the millennium.
Then Tommy fell to communng with him
self.
"If,n reasoned he, ''the goat was so dirty
outside, he must be very far from clean in
side.n
This seemed conclusive to Tommy's COM
panions, and they consented to hold the goat
while he effected the internal publication.
Tommy inserted the nozzle of the hose into
the goats mouth.
1t is q painful subject.
But the goat has a very pretty grave at
the end Of the lawn between two laurel
bushes.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Tho Pocket in His Night Shirt.

The precocity of eight-year-old boys has
often been the theme for newspaper COM
ment, but l think know of one who is en-
titled to particular distinction for his bright
ness The other day he importuned his
mamma for night shirt "just like papa's,"
with pocket in 1t. His mother made him
one, and the first night he wore it he went to
bed in high glee. In the morning, when his
mother took the robe off, she found in the
one pocket couple of seed cakes, three
matches, a toothpick small silver watch,
several pieces of cough candy and the boys
pocket handkerchief. When the little fellow
was questioned as to the reason for the varied
assortment he replied: "Well, 1 thought if I
got hungry in the night time would need
the seed cakes and Of course I'd want the
toothpick afterward. If 1 wanted to see
what time it was by my watch would have
to have a match, and 1 was afraid of cough
ing, SO put the candy there" His excuses
were equal to his preparations at any rate

while there was in the habit of playing with
him as he lay, half asleep, on the sofa. One

over the old gentleman's scant locks, he muir

One evening not long afterwards, a young
old bachelor was making call on the family,

tender feelings. Into the pleasant circle
where the bachelor sat flashing bright moth

For rhi. Rellef nruch Thanl,s.

1 am afraid that the habit of jumping at
conclusions" is sometimes being carried too
far. Two congressmen-both of them from
the south-occupied the,other day, in the alb
sence of their families, the same room at Will
lard's. They were greatly annoyed during
the first portion of the night by neighbor
who was snoring at terrible rate. They
lay sleepless and silent for long time, listen
ing with a horrid fascination to the efforts
Of "the man who snored." Finally tho
sleeper made one mighty effort, and with an
awfully convulsive, gurgling gasp, relapsed
into silence, which was shortly broken by
one of the congressman, who in fervent
tone exclaimed:

An Apt Comparison.

They tell a story in Dublin about Balfour
and an eminent bishop who has fought hard
for the unfortunate people of his country.
The two men met for the first time at din
ner, and in the course of the talk Mr.. Balfour
said:
"But3 after all, l fancy that the news
papers make more noise than the masses. Do
you think now that the people really dislike
me1n
'Ah, Mr.. Balfour," said the priest, 'if the
Irish only hated the devil half as much as
they hate you my occupation would be gone.

little lad looked on with surprise as the
contribution boxes were passed around. He
had an idea that the cash was being distri-

Staplin, replevin being the desire of the
plaintiff. Attorney Nicholson, of Ellis,
was Mahoney's attorney.
All three of these suits grew out of
difficulty between the plaintiff and de-
