Virginia farmer complained to Col.
Webster that the soldiers were destroy

Col. Webster replied that his men
had to have something to burn, and
suggested that the farmer allow the
troops to remove only the top rails.
This compromise seemed to satisfy
the farmer and he agreed. In a few
weeks, however, he rushed to the
colonel in a great passion.
'See hereI" he thundered. "Your
men have burned up every stick of my
fencel"

JOHN T. RAYMOND.
A Practical Joke of Which He Was Once
q Victim.

q q 1SAS "a w A4S4 a so S0SS
Victim.
The observance of April Fools day
is not what it was-not what it ought
to be. We have still plenty of fools,
but the old style practical joker is no
more. 1 believe that his suppression
and the discontinuance of the habit of
blowing out the gas are the two chief
reforms achieved by the agency of the
newspaper Photographer. The new
style practical joker is the man who
gets 81 per joke, and puts the money
in the bank, He is very much more
practical than the real author of the
joke, who in the early part of this cen
tury-probably in the very bad winter
of eighteen-hundred and-froze-to-death
was walking around New York with
no soles on his shoes. There was no
money in the old-fashioned joking, and
so it no longer exists in this commercial
age.
Far be it from me to apologize for
the extinct practical joker; and yet
there is much to be said in his favor.
His chief justification lies in the unde.
niable fact that the spirit of practical
Joking exists in nature.
The most narrowing jest Of human
origin that ever I heard of was played
by the ''Dundreary" Sothern upon
John T. Raymond. There were half a
dozen others in the party, but I do not
recall their names. They were in a
small billiard room in one of the New
York hotels. It was in a basement and
was a~rtiicially lighted in the daytime.
Raymond was not playing. He was
keeping tally. But as this occupation
was not very interesting and he was
oppressed by weariness and other
things, he naturally fell asleep. Then
the merry jest entered Sothern's head.
There was nobody in the billiard
room but their party. They were cid
patrons and owned the place. In an
instant Sothern had communicated his
design to the others. The windows
we're absolutely darkened. Then all
the gas jets were extinguished.
Raymond still slept, but presently
somebody tickled his lose with the
corner of his handkerchief and he
awoke with a sneez9. At the same
time Sothern clicked the balls together
on the table and said:
THAT was a rattling good shot, old
man. I don't see how you ever made
it,"
RAYMOND Strengthened up in his
chair and gasped. Again the balls
clicked, and somebody remarked upon
the shot. Raymond leaped to his feet.
"BIind, blind" he yelled. "Help me-
help me, boys, in Gods name! L am
stone blind! -
Well, the rest may be left to the I'M
| agination. It wasn't really funny after
that, for Raymond shed tears when the
gas was lighted, though he wasn't sc
badly Frustrated as the others, who
had never imagined that the JOKE
would be SO successful.-Ho0ard Fte40-
