COULDN'T FOOL HIM.

A tall, thin doctor in the town
had an office, out of which door
led into a small laboratory. One
day, while working there, an Italian
fruit seller entered the office. Find
the room deserted, he turned to
leave, but by mistake opened the
door to the doctors closet, in which
was a human skeleton, in all its
awiulness. The sight was too much
for the poor Italian. Dropping his
basket of fruit, he made his escape
in panic. The doctor heard the
commotion, and came from his
laboratory to see what the matter
was. The open closet door and the
fruit scattered on the floor instantly
explained the situation. He went
to the window. and Saw the fright
ened Italian Standing on the side
walk below, looking up at the win
dow.
Come up, said the doctor, at the
same time beckoning with his long
finger.
No, you don't, exclaimed the fel-
low, shaking his head, 1 know you,
if you have got your clothes on.

VISIT TO THE SCHOOLHOUSE.

Chapel School House by the road side stands,
To the Sixth district of the county 1t belongs,
Around and far away the scene expands
The sight OF which enough to cal forth songs.
Lately one day knocked at its door.
And was greeted by the teacher fair,
Her name was Martha which underscOre;
She and her pupils smiled with pleasant cheer
1t was in the closing week CT May,
And my first visit to this Science Hall:
l saw on the desk the Holy Bible lay,
The sacred text book OF the great and small.
Twenty-Five scholars at their post,
Male and female all engaged in thought,
And will they not make mighty host?
And by them may wondrous things be wrought?
So unused without prophetic ken,
The future will make record IN their lives.
To providence belongs the where and when,
To brighten o: dim the worlds archives.
Providence say and no law OF fate,
Gods government excludes it from the role.
Free will and conscience is mans high estate,
The abuse OF which will wreck his soul
Introduced to the school, | sat ami stood,
The upturned faces my attention gained.
l asked them whether they were bad good
No answer given and silence regned
Some simple lessons essayed to give,
One was that education begins at home:
There learn to speak and act rs well as live.
RefOre going out on the world to roam.
Oh childhood how lovely is thy lot,
Radiant as Spring lowery morn,
Thy enchanted ground, write forget not,
Whose scenes kind memory with smiles adorn

| Was that a chuckle that came from
the other side cf the thick bank of
ferns and palms?
One morning Uncle George failed
to come down to breakfast. This was
not an unusual thing, for Mr.. Leslie's
avuncular relative was in the habit Of
taking long morning strolls, just TO
brace up my appetite bit, he would
explain.
But when he failed to come back
to lunch, to dinner-when night arrived
and still no Uncle George-Mr. Leslie
began to be alarmed.
| am afraid something has happened
to him, she said to her husband. He
is not very well acquainted liz the city.
Who knows but he may have been
robbedand murdered?
So Mr.. Leslie hunted up the chief of
detectives and reported the mysterious
disappearance. He described the
missing man.
Was the gentleman's right forefnger
missing up to the middle joint? asked
the chief.
Yes reply Mr.. Leslie, wondering
how the chief knew that fact.
And he had sort of innocent,
rustic, modest cir about him;
Yes, yes, SAID the other; you have
found him then1
No, replied the detective with
quizzical smile, but wish | could. Is
this his picture' he asked, pointing to
a photograph which he had selected
from large brown book.
The very m1n exclaimed Mr.. Les
lie. Has anything happened to
him7 How did you come by his
picture.
The gentleman has the distinction of
having his photograph in the rogues'
gallery, was the quiet reply.
Rogues gallery Why, what do you
mean, man? gasped Mr.. Leslie. He is
my wiie's unclr.
Can you prove that7 queried the
chief.
Why, yes-that is-well- stammered
the now thoroughly astounded man.
New light was thrown on a thousand
little circumstances of Uncle Georges
visit and actions.
tell you, continued the detective,
pityingy, this man IS Louis Rebsteise,
one of the sharpest confdece men in
the country, who makes business of
this sort of work. He has been miss
ing for some time, and l suppose he
has been out west, where he probably
met the real Uncle George and learned
enough of your family story to play
his little game.
If you search your house you will
probably find that all your siverware,
iewelry and money arc. gone, or at
least as much Of them as man can
carry away.
The chiefs surmise was correct.
The choice old family plate, Mrs.
Leslie's jewelry and two hundred dol.
lars which Mr.. Leslie had taken in the
day before after banking hours-all
were gone; loss eight hundred dol
lars.
In their place was a little note
pinned on one pillow OF the bed
lately occupied by the departed. 1t

For some days the river OF domestic
bliss did not flow at all smoothly in the
Younghusband domical. 1t took the
peccant Charles long time to con-
vince his wife that his acquaintance
with the fair Lefty was OF the most
promiscuous description in fact, SO
difficult was this feat of accomplish
ment that he has decided to give up
flirting with shop girls and in future
to take his wlfe's fidelity for granted.

CUT HAY WITH A REAPER.

Mr.. Samuel Snyder, a progressive
and successful farmer of Washington
county, has a novel way of making
hay. Instead of cutting the grass
with scythe or mower, as is usually
done, he uses self binder, after
which the sheaves are gathered and
shocked and LETT stand for few
days, when they are hauled to the
barn or stacked. Mr.. Snyder claims
hay made in this manner is just as
good as that made in the old way
and can be made with much less
labor and expense.

AS GOBBLERS DO.

The pulpit manners of clergymen
are so exempt from frank public criti,
cism that many a minister continues
all his life in fault of delivery that he
might have corrected had he been
plainly told of them. In one such
case little girl was instrumental in
curing famous American preacher Of
an aff1ictingly pompous air.
His habit was to pause after each
division of his discourse, look impress
siyely upon the pews, take breath so
very. long that it seemed to increase his
size, and then 60 on with an air of the
utmost Importance.

The bills provide that the obligations u
the Indians need not Oe discharged until

The latter are required TO pay more Tor
the lands per acre than the Indians receive,

away. Gilsen fired five shots at the fleeing
men. One of the robbers returned the
fire, but without effect. The passengers
on the train (mostly merrymakers on the
way to picnic) were dumfounded at the
boldness of the robbery. The theory pre-
