AN ExcElEir SCHEME.

How an Ohio Father Got Rid of Seven
Marriag cab;e Dau ght-rs.
An Ohio man. the father of seven
manageable daughters-some of whom
were in danger of getting omewhat too
far along to be marriageable-has been
practicing recently with a little ocdina-
ry everyday human nature, such as
may be found in the makeup of all of
US This Ohio man had put up patient
ly with all the young men of the country
around for years. They came to see the
girls every night, some times three or
four night, and on Sunday nights
there was always as much as one man
for each of the seven girls. They just
had their steady company, as they say
in Ohio.
All this was very pleasant to the girls
and boys, but it was expensive for the
old gentleman, and it ultimately be-
came very tiresome. AS none of the
boys showed disposition to take any
of the girls off his hands by marrying
them, he ordered them off. He felt that
things were altogether too convenient,
and that the girls were rated too cheap
ly. Some of the young men showed
their utter worthlessness by giving heed
to these orders and treating them in
good faith. Others continued their
visits, but did their best to avoid the
old gentleman, and always enjoyed
themselves the more when they knew
he wasn't around.
He was not to be deceived, however.
and seeing that he had not much i'm
proved the chances of getting his girls
married, he created more obstacles. He
bought number of unusually ferocious
dogs, and borrowed a shotgun OF q neigh
Dor, and gave notice that the first
young man that came foOling around
the house could have his choice of
being shot or eaten UP by the dogs.
This scheme worked admirably, and it
had almost immediate effect. Within
three days two of the girls had run
away and got married. This SO en-
couraged the old gentleman that he
bought an extra dog and an increased
supply of ammunition for the shotgun.
The greater the difficultie-, however,
the more determined the young men
| were to have those girls. and the unde-
niable truthful statement is made tn at
within month not one of the young
ladies remained unmarried. They had
all got away in spite of the dogs and the
shotgun, just as the old gen tleman had
doubtless foreseen would be the case
| when they were made hard to get they
were in demand. That is merely a
kind of human nature that most people
| understand. out it isn't so effectively
practiced by every body.-Philadelp
Press.
