HER HUSBANDS LITTLE JOKE.
Cheerful Method Finlanders Have OF

Cheerful Method FinIanders Have OF
Making the Hours Pass Pleasantly.
An inhabitant of Voro. in Finland,
named Sellquist, who for a long time
past has been living on bad terms
with his wife, had lately a narrow
escape from being poisoned by her
She called at a chemists and asked
for some rat poison. As these crea-
lures are very rarely seen in that
neighborhood, the chemist had his
suspicious aroused, and gave the wo-
man a perfectly harmless drug. On
second thoughts he decided 20 men
ton the matter to her husband, and
requested him to say nothing about 1T
TO his wife. In the evening, as she
was preparing the porridge, the man
kept watchful eye ON her move
ments, and noticed that she scat
tered something out of paper
into the saucepan. When the por-
ridge was ready he sat down to
the table and began to eat. After
awhile he got up in great excitement,
paced up and down the room and at
last fell fainting on the floor. This
was what the woman expected. She
now pulled down a rope through a
hole in the ceiling with a moose,
which she placed around her hus-
bands neck, whereupon she ran up
stairs into the garret i'm order 10 pull
up the rope and hang her husband in
that fashion Meanwhile the husband
got up aud tied a few chairs to the
rope. The wife did not return to the
room, as she dreaded the sight, but
went out into the village TO raise an
alarm, saying that her husband had
hanged himself in her absence. Wher
she came back with a host of neigh
bors and crocodile tears in her eyes
there was her husband sitting at the
table, laughing till his sides ached
The chairs were still dangling on the
rope.

The Old Lady Had no Idea of Seeking
WaterY Grave.

Inc via Lazy hNu no loea OF seeking
watery Grave.
On one of the Detroit ferryboat Is the
other day little old woman leaned
over the rail in such d careless manner
that a gentleman felt bound to drop
her a word of caution.
"Oh, kin take keer OF myself, 1
guess" she replied as she turned on
him.
But accidents do happen, you
know" he persisted.
Eyes, | suppose 81, but nuthin'
won't happen to me-

woman about your age precipitated
herself into the water said the man.
"She did, eh! Did vow save hero"
mo. She screamed out and sank
like a stone
"Did they find out who she was?"
"Oh. YES. II seemed that she want
ed to die. Her husband threatened to
leave her for another woman, you
see"
and she couldn't stand it?'
"No When l saw you leaning over
/ the rail l didn't know but what-but

The case of the Territory VS. James
NJ. Brock, concerning the shooting of
O. L. Wittum at Perkins, in the
spring of 1898, was suddenly brought
20 close in the saltwater district
court. Immediately the territory had
rested its case, Judge Dale instructed
the jury 10 find a verdict OF not guilty,
for the reason that the prosecution
had failed to produce enough evil
dence tending TO show that the defen-
dant had any motive in shooting when
he did, other than in self-defense,
and from the evidence OF the prosecu-
tion the court believed the defendant
justitable in defending himself.
