He DIdn't Know where TO sleep

Tall1in about Billy Trammel - that
puts me in mind of another wanderer
returned back home. Squire Riley
Norton got back one day last week from
his long summer trip to some big sui
phur spring somewheres over there in
the mountains of Georgy and Tennes-
see.
When the squire left home he was a
poor lonesome widdower and wearin
of the weeds to beat six bits. But it
would seem like he met up with gay
and gorgeous widder over there at the
big spring, and both of them bein moro
than willin, it didn't take very long for
them to work out the little sum where
in you add up two together and only git
one for the answer.
To be short and plain about it, the
squire and the widder they pitched in,
they did, and went and got married.
And then the most strangest part of the
business comes in. Dadblame it, they
didn't stay married. The very next
day the squire put in his papers for a
knot united on the grounds of domes-
tic incompatibility and false pretenses,
or words to that extent.
az reckon l mought as well own up
TO it, Rufe," says the squire, that wid :
der was one too many for me. For
why? Well, she was false, Rufe-the
most falsest woman / have ever saw.
I knowed she had false teeth, but that
want nothin. When retired to the
bridal departments that night, reckon
maybe the widder had went to bed. L
couldn't say for certain about that. But
there was a full set of false teeth,
thunderin big role of false hair, cork
leg and one glass eye layin there on
the table. reckon maybe / acted like 4
durn fool. / know felt like one. I
didn't know for certain where to sleep
whether to go to bed or git on the
table. Consequentially / didn't go to
sleep anywheres that night, and the
next day put in my papers for divorce
ment. All the facts and the evidence
was on my side, and 1 soon put the
widder away on the general charge Of
false pretenses."

3hle demand is expected. 1t was long
believed that the diamond could not be
engraved with safety or satisfactory
results. but Il few stones roughly en-
graved were found in India. and a dia-
mono was exhibited at the Paris exhi-
bition Of 1878 on which a portrait of
the King Of Holland was scratched.

and the stones We're rather demolished
than engraved.
Some Of the finest examples Of en-
craving on diamonds are the work of Il

blade is u slender diamond ana the
handle is a ruby. Another is Il large
circular stone, Oh which a pansy with
is foliage is engraved.

represented Icy lines engraved on the
