and that these two families soon found out
Schluchner was a gay old boy, verging
towards sixty, il is true. but ms lively as a
two-year old colt. Mrs. Schuchner was
not uncomely to look upon, but old
Schlnchner found something very much
more attractive over at Shultz's mansion
than he found at his own pretty little
cottage. 1t was not very long Before
Shultz began to smell an exceedingly large
sized mice, and Mrs. Schluchner's es
would snap like first class namo every
time her handsome neighbor came in
sight.
In very short time war was declared,
and Mrs. Schluchner made it exceedingly
warm for Mr.. Schluchner and Mrs. Shuliz.
Mr. Shultz, scandalized by his wife's be-

monstrating with him for his conduct he

messenger told heI that her enemy was

and when the job was finished she flung it
to the breeze out of her front window
She took no pains to conceal from her
neighbors the fact that she was celebrating
the death of Mrs. Shultz. Then the neigh
bors became indignant and vowed yenge-
ance on the Schulchners. Her sons kept a
grocery store and they backed their mother
up in what she had done, but they soon be-
gan to find that nobody would huy any
hing of them, SO as financial ruin was
staring hem in the face, AT the end of three
lays Mrs. Schluchner hauled down her
dag.
The week has been ap. exceedingly lively

money comes from, but it comes. The
clans turned out by hundreds, and a swellel
looking lot it would be hard to find. The
uniforms were unique, and there were high
white hats and white top-coats, patent
leather shoes, and buttonhole bouquets
There were dark Prince Albert coats and
fawn colored pants, white chokers and
high collars that almost cut off theil heads
'ome wore ulsters with massive capes,
while Others displayed their manly forms
