A QUEER COMPREHENSIVE.


Hens are funny critters" says an old
farmer, land | have one on my place
that is about the funniest Of the lot. A
few months ago she took a most violent
liking for an old brindle cow OF mine.
At first all she did was to go out to
pasture with tho COW, but after a while
she began to jump on the cows back.
For a long time the 20 resented this
novel arrangement and Indignantly
shook the hen off. Butitdid not do any
good, the hen hoped right on again,
until at last, in sheer despair, the cow
philosophically accepted the situation.
She was probably the more inclined to
do so when she discovered, as she soon
did, that Biddy, as much as possible,
kept all insects from annoying her. In
fact, she even went further than that;
for when she discovered that the cow
would like to have her back scratched
she scratched it in q way to make the
cow very happy. AS a resultof this the
COW oon began to enjoy the companion
ship OF the hen; and now. when the
hen gets off for a while to eat, old
Brindle is evidently uneasy until she
back again."-Chicago Evening
Journal.

Old residents Of the city Of Washing
ton remember the time when Mrs Madi-
son. the wife Of the President passed the
lat years Of her life there.
She lived ii her own house, which
was handsome enough and well fur
nished. But it was known to few
friends that she was living in extreme
poverty, IL not in restitution.
A colored man who had been her slave
once wrote of her:
She was in a state Of absolute pow
erty. and think sometimes suffered for
tho necessaries of life. While / was
servant Of Mr.. Webster, he often sent
me to her with market basket fun of
provisions, and told me whenever /
thought she was ia need Of anything TO
supply it.
7 often did this. and occasionally gave
her small sums from my own pocket,
though / had years before bought my
freedom.
Mrs. Madison, besides being the widow
Of q President, who was also a wealthy
planter. possessed some property in her
own right, and her only son WAS origin
ally man Of large fortune. 1t was tins
son that brought her 10 ruin. lie was
the child of her first husband, and his
name was Payne Todd.
During the Presidency Of DIR. Madison
he lived in the White House with them,
a pretty, engaging lad. with a pleasing
talent for mimicry.
Everybody liked, courted. petted, and
nattered him. When older he took to
no serious occupation, and finally went
70 Europe, where he spent many idle
years, wasting his fortune in extrava-
gance.
On bis return home, he was no better.
lie did, indeed, buy an estate in Virginia,
but at that time an estate in Virginia
was Of little value unless it was vigil
antly looked after by the owner.
And 10 he wasted his life and his sub
stance. After spending the whole of his
own fortune, he allowed his mother to
waste hers upon him, for she continued
10 the last to be dotingly fond of him.
She was obliged 30 sell Montpelier,
and il Congress had not bought from her
her husbands papers, she must have
been wholly dependent upon charity.
The last words she uttered were, My
poor boy
Two years after her death, her son
died of typhoid fever, carefully nursed
10 his last moment by the old servants Of
the family.
The amount of mischief that can be
done By one petted and spoiled child is
beyond calculation. If parents would
earintfalx consider this matter there

He was substantial and well-known
business man of the city, and when he
walked into tailoring establishment
on Main street the other day he asked
in business-like way TO be shown
some plain gray goods for a business
suit The second piece shown him
struck his fancy and he asked the cost

his measure taken. Then, handing the
tailor his card, he said:
Your place was recommended 70
me by Mr.. -. who always deals
here.n
After asking when he should call for
it he started out.
We always require a deposit Of
$40. suggested the tailor.
"A what?'
"A deposit of $40. You know. some
times people forget to come after
clothes, and they have to be sent to
the misfit man.
You mean you want me to pay $40

you $500 bond to be here on time
and take the clothes if they fit, leaving
the question OF fit to & committee of
three selected tailors. But you will
have TO pay the expenses. Or I'll
do this: I'll pay. you for the suit now
if you will give me bond of the same
kind to make the clothes fit or return
the money with interest. But you
must pay all expenses If you don't
