Old Mr.. Watson, on Nelson street, has
got a nice little bill to pay He sent a
man down town for a pot Of paint and a
ladder. The man got the paint and then
went to a lumber yard after a ladder.
Then he tied the paint pot on the end OF
the ladder and put the ladder on his
shoulder This was a very smart ar
rangement and the man himself admired
it very much. He started for home this
way and didn't find any trouble in get
ting along the first block. because people
had an impression that a long ladder
with a pot of yellow paint dangling on
the end of it wasn't exactly the thing TO
trifie with. so they balanced along on
the curbstone or rubbed up against the
buildings.
Pretty soon the man saw somebody in
a store he knew. and he turned around
to speak to him and drove one end Of the
ladder into a millinery case and knocked
the crown out Of an eighteen dollar bon

delicate perfumes of budding nature and
atmospherical freshness should be har-

There is nothing fiat and monotonous
about a broken lining to a coat sleeve.
1t always comes up as fresh and viva
'cious as at the first. A man appears
about as surprised when he runs his
hand into the slit the tenth time as he
did the first, and when he looks to see
his hand appear at the end. and finds
that it is doubled up in the middle Of
the sleeve, his c~ountenance will assume
as much interest as if the occurrence
was something never before heard of.
1t is astonishing that a broken sleeve
lining rarely happens in the right sleeve.
h is because, perhaps. the right arm
is first inserted. A broken sleeve lining
can only appear to advantage in one
position, and that is when the man
has n arm inserted correctly, the coat
in a wad against the back of his head
and his body bent over in the effort to
shove the remaining arm through. 1t is
at this, the most painful, juncture that
his attention is called to the rent lining.
In a constrained voice he directs the
notice Of his wife to the same, with a
partly sti1ed inquiry as to what on earth
she has been doing that the trouble has
not been remedied before. 1t is like a
roman on such an occasion to say that
he won't leave his coal home so that it
can be fixed. 1t takes a woman to think
of ex~asperating things. The only resort
now left to him is TO declare that he
knows better. Then she says if he viii
take the coat of now she win fix it, and
makes a show Of getting a thread and
needle. She knows he won't take it of
and wait. And ne doesn't. A man NAV
have a broken sleeve lining and a slit
in his trousers as long as fifteen minutes
at a railway station. but he knows the
propriety of things J. N. BAILEY.

HoCKRssrN, Dot. 18th, 1891. The streets
OF this place presented quite livelyap-
pearance for short time last evening.
About 8 O'Clock you might see car
riages coming from all directions, each
one being occupied by young man,
and either his own or some other Eel
lows best girl. The centre Of attrao-
tlon was Chandeliers carriage sales
room, where an evening sociable was
given by a number OF young gentle
men OF Hockessln and vicinity.
The evening was perfect one, the
October moon was at its full and shone
forth with all Its mellow beauty, as
though it wished to smile approval on
the Efforts of the young folks to spend
a merry evening. About twenty-five
live within few miles, though Will
mington, Kenneth, Kimbleyille, and
nearly all of the intervening country
were represented.
We do not wonder at tho distance
some of the couples came. az all who
have ever attended any OF these parties
know that the names of the committee
are guarantee that the entertainment
provided will we'll repay them for a
long drive; though we imagine the
drive itself on such an evening, not to
mention the company, would add very
much to the pleasure of the boys (pos-
slbly the girls too, but we can't say
for certuin.)
The boys and girls who do attend
these sociables go for the purpose OF
dancing and they dance FROM the time
the music begins till the programme
has been completed and then wish it
had lasted just little longer.
Speaking of dancing, for ehsy, grace
full notion the girls around Hockessin
are hard to beat, but we feel bound In
honor to confess that IL dancing
match We're possible some Oh our fair
young friends from over the line In
Pennsy would make tho contest

little persuasion they surely Will.
