THERE is a minister in Minnesota who
thinks Monday paper can just as well be
prepared Saturday night. His oongrega-

A man with notion of that kind is quite
capable of ringing in 10-year-old sermon
on his people for a fresh one.

What TickIed a Hoosier,

in Indiana when | came upon a pile of
bedding and articles of crockery and hard
ware In front of farm house, and seated
on the horseback was a corpulent old man
with very red face. Naturally enough |
asked him what had happened, and he
went off into laughter which lasted full
minute before he could reply.
Them buds belong to Ben and Mary"
but who are Ben and Mary?''
''Ben's my-my-ha! ha! ha! I've
LATED till I'm almost dead. Ben S my son,
and Mary is his ha ha! ha! WIFE
"But who tumbled those things out
there?"
II did"
''And where are Ben and Mary?"
''She's gone home and he's broke for
the woods. Stranger, excuse me, but I'd
have to latf if there was corpse In the
house. It's too burned funny for anything
-ha! ha! hal
And he yelled and whooped until he
could have been heard half mile. When
he sobered up little asked:
lis there a joke In this somewhere?"
SIS there? Whoop should say there
was! You go into the house and you'll
find the old woman nigh dead with laff-
ing"
"Well, what is it"
"You see, Ben got married about three
months ago. Purity good boy, but inclined
to be tricky. sHe married purity fair gal,
but she's dredfully ambitious. They cum
home to live, and about month ago
wanted me'n the old woman to deed over
tye farm to them and be taken keer of the
rest of our lives. We didn't like the idea,
but they hung to it, and so last week |
made out deed and handed it over. It
wasn't a deed describin' this farm, but
some other farm, though it all looked reg

You doubted their faith, eh?'

stranger, don't think hard of me, but I've
got to laff or bust. Just tickles me way
back to the shoulder blades!''
He went off into another fit, and
when he got his breath again he contin-
ued
This mornin' was the sixth day since
they got the deed. AS soon as breakfast
was over Ben said they'd concluded to git
along without our valued company, and
suggested that DIS it was nine miles to the
poor-house we make an early start. He
intended to turn US smack out doors with
out dollar. but he got left. | told him
he'd better look into the deed bit, and he
went to town and delivered the trick had
played. You orter seen them two when
they come back! Why, why"
And he laughed again until | had TO
pat him ON the back to prevent catas-
trophe.
"They were the humblest, down-trod-
dentist, used-up, gone-to-pieces pair you
ever sot eyes on. Ben got plug of ter
