COW with thorn IN her cud. In
the meantime Mr. Briggs aunt had
taken a mOuthful Of the green's,
when the taste Of the mess became
apparenf, she barely suppressed
scream, and III her haste to get the
dainty out Of her mouth, the green's
became tangled up in her custom
maid teeth, and all went out togeth-
er. Briggs was so engaged with
his own acticipations that he did
not notice anything amiss at the
other side of the table.
II tell you," he remarked, "the
old time country provender Is best,
after all now this" and he put
some in his mouth. "Bah! oh. oh.
Moses What is this? It's poison"
and his eyes started and he grew
red in the face, as he spit and sput-
tered.
"Nhy, what's the matter, my
dear?" asked Mrs. Briggs, in alarm.
"Trouble. TROUBLED" he roared,
continuing to spit. What IS this
helIlsh stuff that you have nade"
The guest, no longer able TO contain
himself, gagged and his portion de-
parted from him, while his coun-
tenance assumed deathike

"We're poisoned" continued
Briggs, ''send for a doctor. Get an
emetic quick, somebody"
II don't think we need an chime
tic,' said the guest, making a bolt
for the door.
For few minutes confusion of
the rankest kind held sway, but
finding that they continued to live,
the scare abated somewhat, and
Mrs. Briggs and the aunt confessed
to their seasoning the pottage.
'But what" said Briggs makes
it so bitter? 1t is more bitter than
the most poignant grief condensed.
Finally to settle the matter, some
the ingredients that had not been
used were brought in.
"That's this; did you use any of
that?' asked Briggs, holding up
some leaves.
"Why yes" replied Mrs. Briggs,
1--WE used plenty of that. That's

in the country, have so far forgot
ten your bringing up that you can't

And Mr.. Briggs chum, with a
tender passion for the aunt, thought
so, too and the aunt will never
again try to reach mans heat

gifts of a rejected lover.
AN English court has decided that the
chime Of bells in the village of Dept
ford must not be sounded because the
noise is offensive to the majority Of the

A VERY explicit Connecticut statute
provides that no man shall kiss a wom-

a man shan't kiss his wife on the Sab
