The Joke l. on Both Of Them.

A strange complication was ths1
which ensued the other day when the
following advertisement appeared in q
morning newspaper:
win widow (i0) please meet honor
able gentleman at pootollice at o. clock
p. m. to-day. Full particulars.
Two very conscientious reporters
were detailed by respective city editors
to obtain stories of the proceedings.
One was young woman who compen-
stated by ambition what she lacked in ex-
perience aud the other was veteran
newspaper man.
Both took their stations in the post
Office corridor at the appointed hour and
awaited developments. 1t was not long
before their eyes met. Then at once 10
flashed upon the woman reporter that
this solitary man was the honorable
gentleman whose advertisement was
her assignment. Otherwise. why
should he be hanging about, cycling each
passerby so critically.
"A novel experience, she murmured
al will interview him in the guise OF .
responsive widow"
"Ah. here's the designing widow"
thought he, as she approached. Il viii
keep up the joke"
So they chatted together for nearly
hall an hour each cRuckling inwardly
and thinking how completely the other
had been deluded.
Then they returned to their offices
and she wrote a story of the event. She
told of young woman who met the
"honorabl@ gentleman" and engaged in
conversatich. FINALLY they parted.

He published nothing, for he knew

all now and apologize letters have been

AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
A Mans Life Saved by Two Noble Dogs

A Mans Life Saved by Two Noble Dogs.
Many years have sunk into the silent
ton related startling adventure of his.
which was substantially the following:
After the New Years holidays my friend
visited his parents, who but few years
before had taken their abode in the sparse
ly settled wild, romantic region on the
upper waters of the PenO0scot, In the state
of Maine The journey was quite rapid
for those days, except the last fifty miles,
which imposed two days highway tax on
his good supply of muscle, which he paid
on foot without protest. The weather was
clear and bright and sufficiently warm at
midday to pack the snow trile. A little
more than mile measured the distance
between the nearest nelghbor and his faith
er's house. Their small improvements
were linked together by irregular serpen-
tine, woodland roads that seemed to my
friend twice its real distance, rs he for the
first time paced along It's forest windngs.
The sun was sinking apparently among
the tree tops of the distant woods Ms he
came in full view of his father premises
and walked up the lane between the
stumpy fields The smoke above the
square stick chimney curled upward In
fleecy folds and floated away over the sur
rounding wilderness. Approaching the
door he gave vigorous rap; come in
was the simultaneous Ginning of two ia
millar voices; he gave jerk on the string
that dangled froma hole in the door, hoist
ing the timber latch from its catch and the
ponderous door upon It's wooden hanglngs
swung open. Then followed the fond en-
brace and happy greetings of the parents
and their only son. The contrast between
this and their former Massachusetts, cot
tage was wide and striking, but the love
and affection Of the parents for their son
remained unchanged, In proper time the
three, rs in years before, in their order,
around the family table sat, and after
grace RECALLED themselves most sump,uous
ly on wild meats, vegetables, hot rye and
Indian bread pumpkin pie and honey from
the woods Supper finished and out of
the way a pleasant evenings rehearsal of
their earlier and better days, and of the
incidents experienced by each since the son
settled in business and the parents in the
woods concluding with their evening de-
votions and retiring for the night. The
parents spared no pains to make II pleas
ant for their son, who enjoyed his ten
days visit very much, employing his time
visiting, hunting, skating, and fishing
through the ice. The last evening of his
stay was one of unusual beauty. He told
his parents that the temptation to enjoy
the evening on his skates was irresistible,
and being excused he made his way down
the bank to the river, sheetcd over with
ice so smooth, clear, and free from snow
that it had more the appearance of untroz
en- water than of ice, as il mirrOred back
the stars of heaven as from a sea Of glass.
The skates on his feet, down the Penob'
scot he flew passing settlers cabin about
mile below, where he was painfully dis
turbed by two baying hounds that saluted
him from the bluff, with their hideous,

movement has, however, set in the

from firms in that region against the
plan of coloring the butterine, on the
ground that the working people in the
north could not afford to pay the price
of butter, and that the bu:terine sold is
often more pure and wholesome than
butter obtained so far away from the
dairies of the lower peninsula.
