He had trundled weghty triplets when his
wife was wrapped in slumber;
He had got up every morning and had built
the kitchen fire;
He had pounded on her carpets and had sawed
up cords Of lumber.
And had stretched with endless patience
several miles of stiff clothes wire.
He had sworn of on his smoking Just to help
her on her missions,
And had matched whole coils Of ribbons
with no thought Of the disgrace;
He had eaten several samples at her cooking
exhibitions,
With a moaning in his stomach and a smile
upon his face.
He had borne the shirts she made him, and
his courage ne'er forsook him;
He had stood the socks she darned him,
though the agony was keen;
He had worn her colored neckties, though his
dearest friends all shook him,
And the clothes that she selected he dis
played with humble mien.
But when one night she showed him some
pajamas she had made him
And informed him she expected that in them
he would abide,
He quailed before this torture and the thought
Of II dismayed him,
And he gave one look remorseful and he laid
right down and died.
Tom Mason In Clothier and Furnisher.

The rougher the road the better. The
stage would go humping and bouncing
over the stones and ruts, swaying from
side to side as if every moment about tc
go over. Then all at once, in the mid.
die of breakneck rush which the pas.
sengers believed about TO result in gen.
eral destruction, he would lay back in his
seat, pull in his lines with that giant
strength of his, and in a minute there
would be his six mustangs trotting along
as quiet and calm and as completely un-
der control as so many poodles. OF
course then the passengers thought ii
great fun-after 1t was all over.
But now Foss is dead, and the railroad
has taken the place of the mustang.
Another old whip" who, however,
was alive at last reports, is David Batch
elder, of Amesbury, Mass. His first
coach driving was from Newburyport
20 Hampton Falls, and the chief place
of call ON the route was the Wolfe hotel,
which is still known to history as the
"Old Stage tavern"
Well, the world whirls on the fierce
rush of so called progress, and the world
itself will come to an end one of these
days, so the theologians assert. So in
the sum total of "back numbers" the
stagecoach may not count for much.
Yet the merry horn, the crack Of the
drivers whip and the prancing of the
half wild horses-these are inspiring
things not TO be forgotten by one who
has seen and heard them. The iron
horse is swifter, but he has carried no
greater loads of love, hope, ambition
and avarice than has the Concord,
with four furious mustangs champing
at the bits and a cool headed driver
handling the reins and telling his nerv-
GUS passengers to Keep yer seatsi"

A Reserved Seat.

"When | was once in danger from q
lion" said an old African explorer, 81
tried sitting down and staring at him
as had no weapons"
How did it work." asked his com
panion.
Perfectly; the lion didn't even offer
to touch me-"
"Strange! How do you account fo1
it,"
"Well. sometimes I've thought il was

A good story was recently told of the
discount clerk in one of the Baltimore
banks. He is man somewhat along in
years, is Quaker, and is possessed of
all the characteristics of that peculiar
religious sect. One day patron Of the
bank came in and submitted pile of
notes for discount. The clerk looked
them over in his deliberate way and re-
marked, Isaac, if thee will have 10
have the money on these notes, indorse
them"
The patron complied, writing his
name in a bold, free hand across the
back of the promises to pay. When
nearly through the list the good old
Quaker gently expostulated: Isaac,
thee should be more careful of thy ink;
thee makes a dreadful waste in thy sig
nature
In indorsing the next note Isaac, who
was not without the spirit of a wag.
wrote his name so small that the old
Quaker was obliged to adjust his glasses
TO see that it was correct. Finally,
handing it back to the customer, he
said, Isaac, thee is very careless
man, thee should always dot thy is and
cross thy It's; the j in thy name, Isaac,
is not dotted"
To this good natured rebuke the pa
tron replied, Not 50, old friend; if you
will observe, the in question has fly
speck just above it, and thought that
much ink could be saved. Washing
ton Hatchet.

in the world, unless it be Hank Monk
who gave Horace Greeley his famous
ride, was Clark Foss-"colonel" they

United States since the beginning of the
civil war may be formed by some com
