amount of my bond, l think will make

IF Mr. Wiley has ever got any real

we have not had it offered to u.s. He
made the proposition to give us that
thirty four acres of land and $50, 900 in

fused, as the land is not worth half of

story is related by London Truth OF
u French official who was possessed of
very pretty wife and n particularly
jealous temperament. This official had
frequently applied without success for
certain post. At length his wife pro-
posed to interview the chief in person
AMI sec if she could obtain for her hus-
band what he had failed to procure for
himself On this being suggested the
latter remained silent for a considerable
time, iluctuating between ambition and
jealousy. At last he devised a safe
course. YES, my dear, you have my
sanction. But upon one condition only
that YOU paint your nose Il deep red"
The lady, it is needless to say, did not
proceed with the interview upon these
terms. 1t was afterwa.M commonly
said, however, that, tho story having
reached the chiefs ears, he good-na-
turcdly appointed tho careful husband
TO the post.
