A Pair Of Small Restless Feet

Used for almost every conceiv-
able purpose. except for scratch
ing the ear, and pair of very
cheap shoes, soon part COM

distracted. Chinese shoes are
cheap. and the wooden ones
durable, and yet the almond

for killing their offspring be-
cause they would be unable to
supply them with shoes in the
winter.

Hired a Lawyer to Propose.

One of our rising young legal gentle
mon has recently started new kind of
practice, the first attempt at which was
hardly successful. On a quiet morning
young man of bashful presence called
at the Office and asked the lawyer to
write letter for him. Upon inquiry
the legal gentleman found that it was a
proposal of marriage which the young
man wished to communicate to his in
amorata but hardly felt equal to the
emergency himself The disciple OIL
Blackstone indited the epistle in his
best style, but, alas, his persuasive
powers were hardly equal to the occa-
sion, for the missive failed to make the
desired connection. A day or two later
brief, cold note arrived in tho post
office box for the young man, which
blasted his fondest hopes. He was re-
jected. 1t is rumored that the end is
not yet, but that legal complications
may arise as to the contents of the let

competent to act as IL female nurse. Not
withstanding this report she was as
signed to duty as nominal assistant sur

have chance to go through the lines

with snow-white beard and hair, whom
every body calls ''Old Exception. {"
When Sherman's army invested Atlanta
Sherman issued an order that all nom
combative Confederates should leave
the city within twenty-four hours. This
man, who was founder, called at Sher-
mans headquarters. "Iwant," he said,
'to remain in Atlanta. / am business

Atlanta mans face brightened, and he
started to tell story. Orderly" Gen
eral Sherman called, "I've concluded to
make an exception in this mans case.
The orders are that all citizens shall
leave Atlanta within twenty-four hours.
This man must leave here in an hour.
If he doesn't, shoot him" Ever since

that it was a perilous thing to ask him

ANNIHILAT,NG A RAT.
Every Boy Struck at the Rodent and Hit
Every Thing Else.


Every Thing Else.
Two or three mornings ago boy
brought out rat in trap on the
asphalt pavement of Cass avenue. A
terrier dog was leaping and dancing
around him, and before he reached the
middle of the street dozen men and
boys and two or three more dogs had
stopped to see the fun. The boy looked
as if he knew enough to manage rat,
but there is always boss for every such
occasion. In this case it was short,
fat man with a very big cane, and he
took the trap from the boy and said:
"These things must be managed right
or away goes the rat. Now then, every
body get stick or club or something,
and call up them dogs"
Every body armed himself and cir
Gle was formed while no less than five
dogs were inclosed. The man held the
trap up, looked around to see if every
thing was all right, and said:
''Now, then, the rat will turned loose
on the community"
So he was, and there was rush of
men, boys and dogs. Every body struck
at the rat and hit every thing else,
while the dogs made one grab for him
and then punched together in fight.
Three hats were knocked off, two boys
sat down on the pavement to howl, and
the rat lodged about and ran under the
side walk. When he had gone the fat
man stood putting, a broken cane in his
hand and his hat on the ground, and
finally managed to say:
''H-ang it! You-you fellows don't
know huff to pound sand!'
''You are liar!" yelled four or five
voices in chorus, and after every body
had spit on his hands and said he could
knock every body else's head off the
convention broke up and left the empty
trap in the middle of the street.-De-
