Just as a Favor.

The man who knows it all had been
talking, and i'll his superior way had set
tied every question that had come up
until the quiet little man was moved to
speak
will you grant me one little favor?''
he asked humblJ, as became man who
realized that he was addressing one who
knows it all.
Certainly, replied the other.
"What is it:''
"Woll, will you kindly permit me to
know something about one or two sub
jects i'll which am personally interest
ed if I will concede all the knowledge
of everything else to you?'
And after that there was lull in the
conversation that seemed to indicate
that permission had been given.

But tho Man Got Away.

They came on train from the north
the other day and headed up Jefferson
avenue holding each other by the hand.
They had left the depot only two blocks
behind when they came to n man sitting
on box i'll front of store, and as he
caught sight of thcm grin crept over
his face like molasses spreading out OH
a shingle.
"Grinning at rs, spose?" queried
the young man MS he came to halt.
Eyes" frankly replied the sitter.
"Tickles you most to death to SEQ us

And you imagine you can see MS

And you shake all over Mt the way

"Well, this is mel I'm not purity,
and haven't been cultivated between

"Say-hold On-say''-
He took to the middle of the street
like runaway horse, and the young
man took after him, but it was no use.
After Il race of a block tho man who
grinncd gained so fast that the other
stopped short aud went back to his girl
and his hat. Stretching forth his hand
to the innocent maiden, he remarked:
Lucy, clasp on to that, and if you
let go for the next two hours I'll never
call you by the sacred name of wife. +"

SONS FOR BEGINNERS.
I'm WIiicia Farming Is Delightfully."- Com
bined With tho Best Litcraturc-Twelva
Object lessons Which Teach n Great
Deal About the Subject In Hand.
[Copyrjght. 1876. by Ndyar W. Nye. |

Much has been said Of the glad, free
life Of the farmer, and yet there are
many who arc interested i'll those who
have any information to shed, and who
wood shed it on the reader.
For this reason have arranged brief
set of reading lessons for beginners,
combining lecturing and farm life, for I
have always claimed that farming, I'M
less combined with literature and ]ectur.
ing, is not profitable.
Many claim that farmers do not show
so much intelligence as men i'll other
walks of life. This regard as personal
insult. claim also that there are fewer
gamblers and roues among farmers than
in Paris or New York
A farmer on Monday morning, with
the hemorrhages from his Sabbath shave
all assuaged, is to me rostful sight.
Ho might not recognize an "unearned
increment" if he met it in tho road, but
his heart is right.

Prepare to Pay Asylum Bonds.

The TRIBUNE's calling the atten-
ton to county asylum matters several
weeks ago promises to bear fruit.
Profound silence has been main
tanned by all other county papers on
the subject until last week, when the
Dodgeville Chronicle disturbed the
stiffness with the following;
From the number of county insane
asylums that are being proposed by
several of the counties, which have
also been authorized by the board of
control, it would seem that the reso-
luton offered by supervisor VIM. A.
Jones, at the last meeting of the
county board, t. set aside $4,000 each
year out of the earnings of the county
asylum as sinking fund with which
to pay the asylum bonds of $4,000,
was a very proper and opportune
resolution and should have been
adopted. When the other counties
get their asylums built their patients
will be removed from this county I'M
til the revenue to our asylum will be-
come so diminished that it will not
be self sustaining, then the bonds
will have to be paid from the bottom
Of the Taxpayers pockets. The last
report of the trustees Of the Iowa
county asylum shows that the sum Of
$S,933.9l had been received during
the past year from other counties
for keeping their insane. When
these counties build their own asy-
lums this revenue will be cut off.
Pm har sh0XVC
that during the past year Iowa
county has maintained its own in
sane to the number of 81, the revenue
from the state for their support being
only S3,6Sl.64, and add to this the rev.
enue from the state for keeping .
patients belonging to other counties
would be but the meager sum OF
$4,7l4.22, leaving the balance of the
cost of the institution to come out OF
the pockets of the tax payers in adj
dition to the $4,000 bonds and the
yearly interest of $500
This economic question then arises:
Would it not be better for the county
board at its adjourned meeting III
January to reconsider the vote Dy
which Mr.. Jones' resolution was de-
feated, and pass it and set aside the
$1,000 to pay the bonds before, the
revenue is cut off from the asylum
than to wait until all the counties
withdraw their patients, then pay an
the expenses of the asylum, the T3o-
600 bonds and the 1,500 interest on
them by direct tax on the people?
Let the ayes and nays be called
and give the people chance to eN-
press themselves on the subject at
the election next spring.
