A WOMAN Halter DISCONNECTED.
He Had Reason to Repent Asking u Oucs-
tion About Eve.


tiOn About Eve.
There is crusty old bachelor on
Fourth street who is n confirmed woman
hator and who never misses an oppor-
tunity for saying something sarcastic
and disagreeable about the fair sex.
But he met moro than his match the
other day in plucky little woman,
who, metaphorically speaking, wiped
up tho earth with him, much to tho de.
light of his friends, who were greatly
amused Mt his discontinue
The old bachelor inquired why, when
Eve was manufactured of spare rib,
servant wasn't made at the same time
to wait on her. The little woman re-
sponded promptly: Because Adam
never read the newspapers until the sun
got down behind the palm trees, and
then, stretching, yawned out, Isn't sup
per most ready, my dear?' Not he He
made the fire and hung the kettle over
it himself, I'll venture and pulled the
radishes, peeled the potatoes and did
everything else he ought to do.
"He chopped the kindling, brought
in the coal and did tho chores himself,
and he never brought home half dozen
lrIeHuS 10 dinner Wnen EVc hadn't any
fresh pomegranates
Tho little woman stopped q moment
for breath and went on with renewed
vigor: ''And Adam never staid out
till IL O'Clock at political meeting
hurrahing for some candidate and then
scolding because poor Eve was sitting
up and crying inside the gates He mover
played billiards, rolled tenpins and
drove fast horses nor choked Eve with
cigar smoke.
He never loafed around the corner
groceries and saloons while Eve was
rocking little Gains cradle at home. In
short, he didn't think she was especial
ly created for the purpose of waiting on
him and wasn't under the impression
that it disgraced man to Tighten q
wife's cares n little. That's the reason
that Eve didn't need hired girl and
with it is the reason that her descend
ants do. -
She drew another breath and was
about to continue, when tho bachelor
pulled his hat down over his eyes and
sneaked away amid the laughter of the
crowd. Post

A BLOW AT DEMOCRACY.

=, In the past the Bedford Democrat has
thrown we'll loaded and accurately
aimed bombs into the camp Of the enemy.
As it's name implies it has been Demo.
cratic. but now it has fallen from grace.
Atraitor? No, we will not say so because
we believe that Mr.. Harrison has care
fully weighed every question before he
strayed beyond the shade of the Demo-
cratic banner. That he has erred in
judgment we firmly believe.
The Democrat Is supporting tho can.
didacy for Congress of Mr.. 0. C. Rucker,
the Populist Prohibition candidate. We,
ourselves, have found it hard to indorse
the mistakes of so.called Democrats.
who, in Congress, have misrepresented
their constituents.
However, we tctieve firmly, as did
Mr.. Harrison not many moons agone,
that under Democratic rule we are to
look for relief from onerous taxation
conceived in the scsndalous methods of
reconstruction; nurtured at tho breast
of Wall street domination during
, Grants second term, and born under the
warmth of golden eagles contributed by
monopolists and trusts.

Landlord In a Tran.

Arriving there, he found the man s head
battered and torn to such degree that
sewing it up reminded him of an old

tient was able to give an account of the
accident that disabled him, he related
this sad tale:
81 am behind three months with nv
rent. That's one-half of the secret Of
my misery. The other half is that some
boys i'll my neighborhood have lately
been ringing my doorbell at all hours Of
the night, greatly to my annoyance.
Time after time I was called to the
door, only to find nobody there Finally
ran wire from battery to the door
bell, SO that the next boy who played
the trick OH me would be held there I'M
til could reach him and rend him limb
from limb
About an hour ago l heard II ring at
the door and went thore exulting.
opened the door, and there was my land
lord standing on his head and hanging
onto the handle of the doorbell. About
thousand volts of electricity were chas-
ing each other through his system, and
tho way he kicked at tho door casing
and clawed round with his FREQ hand
was sight to he seen. I was scared
worse than he was, though, and turned
off tho current and Went to carry him
into tho house.
Did you carry him?"
Il don't think 1 did. Everything that
happened after | returned to the door is

with it, and that he tore off the door
