His Wife Got Even.

Alocal doctor had an experience col
lecting a bill which he will not soon
forget. The account amounted to $18,
and, after sending monthly statements
for three years, the debtor, q merchant,
by the way, sent check which, on pres
entation at the bank, was found to be
worthless. It happened about this time
that the physicians wife wished some
articles for the house and visited the
merchants store. She was unknown to
the proprietor, who was all suavity and
politeness, and although prices were a
little high, she purchased a bill Of goods
amounting to sci. When she gave her
name and address and ordered the goods
sent to the house the courteous proprietor
nearly tainted. He had gone SO far, how
ever, that he was ashamed not to send
the goods, which were delivered in good
time. Promptly he received his worth
less check BY mail. Then he began
sending bills for the balance Of $3. When
did he get the balance2 The calendar
and his books will show that the So were
remitted just three years after the acs
count was contracted, and the doctor

An Accident to a Bonnet,

A few persons on. Twentyzthird street
recently saw peculiar and rather dis
tressing accident happen to new spring
bonnet that.was passing down the street
on the head of tall, slender blonde. 1t
was very wonderful hat, with lace
top and lace bows and some little lace
ends that poised themselves on the crown
like the wings of butterfly. The owner
was walking calmly along thinking, per-
haps, how uncommonly well she was
looking, when gentleman who was pass
ing her turned suddenly and gave one
startled look at the head gear, then with
one snatch tore the light thing from her
head and trampled it underneath his
feet. A light smoke and little blue
flame curled up from it as it lay there and
the gentleman pointed significantly to it
as he said: 'EYour bonnet was on fire,
Madam
Evidently it had been.
II was just passing at your side," ex-
planned the gentleman, 'when 1 saw
what appeared to be smoke coming from
the top of your head. ] looked again
and saw red spark in the black lace,
then snatched it off,"
Now, there is nothing in the nature Of
a, bit Of black lace to induce spontan-
eous combustion, and the only possible
explanation of SO peculiar an occurrence
is that chance spark from the cigar oi
passerby had blown into the light stuff
and ignited it.
Since the lace bonnet is certain to bt
the favorite headgear for the summer
the suggestion may not be out Of place
that the cnterprising milliner will be the
one who will provide with each bonnet

ance policy against destruction by fire
