Bad Hit.

Compliments made at random are apt to

guished artist had painted u picture of Il
farm girl in the act of milking a COW, and
IL connoisseur who had come in was observ-

marks concerning it to the artist and his
wife.
What like most about this picture
said the connoisseur sis the fact that you
haven't painted here a woman of good So
ciety disguised as a milknaid, but a real
milkmaid"
"Ah," said the painter, smiling ''do you

NOT A RUNAWAY PAIR.
They We're just Two Loving Hearts Bound
Vla do nna

to BE Made One.
They were one of the "lovinest" couples
as they appeared before the clerks window
in the office of the probate court
They were from the region of Toadvine
or McCalla Bend. The sturdy oak was
about 65 years of age, hale and hearty for
man of his years. The woman appeared to
be not more than SO years old
The prospective groom was as jolly as
jolly could be. His Baptist collar and
choker called up days long ago, and his
homemade suit of jeans called to mind the
farm where hog and hominy abound.
The intended was as pretty and sweet as
the wild rose of the prairie, and her dress
bespoke independence of French fashion
plates, but indicated solid sense and genu-
inc comfort.
The young old man was little flushed
about the face, as if he had been taking a
small one, but his mind was as clear as a
bell on the matter in hand. He squared
himself before the clerk and said
SIS this yeare the place where license is
given to them that wants ter marry:"
The clerk informed him that he was in
the right pew, and the old man placed his
arm about the figure of his blushing bride
and said:
do you think we come within the law
on age?"
"Oh, yes" replied the clerk. You seem
to be old enough
"You doan't think that we look like er
run er way par, do ye:'
well, would not put you down on that
list if l had a guess at it,"
Then make out the credenshals, my
fr'en, and you then proceed to tie the Geor-
gian knot. We amt no stuck up people, are
we, Rebecc ""
And so saying the ancient gallant drew
the almost fainting form of his intended a
little closer to him and actually planted a
broadside square on her quivering rosy lips.
The papers were made out, and the oblig-
ing clerk conducted the couple into the
next room for further instructions into the
mysteries of the order. They were intro
duced to the venerable prelate, Judge Por-
ter, who requested them to stand before
him and join hands.
The long whiskered groom was prompt
in taking the hand of Rebecca in his, but
did not forget to slip his other hand around
her waist and he inadvertently said:
"Jedge, wuZ you ever married? I'll tell
yer thar's nothing like it in this country
You may talk about your guyerners, yer
congressman, yer presidents an all that,
but tell yer thars nuthin like gcttin led
up to er purity wuman what loves yer an
