it."
"What is it, pray ?"

He grasped the situation at once,
and now she doesn't care whether
he talks or not. She is content to do
it all herself.

For WHAT HE Is WoRTH.-A
traveller in Tennessee, upon noticing
large number of people following
wagon, rode up to an old fellow, who
sat on the fence, and asked the cause
of such large procession.
"W'y, they air takin' Sam Bates Out
ter the graveyard"
"He must have been very popular
man."
"Wall, should reckon he was"
"Held a high position, l suppose"
"Stood at the top"
"What was his business ?"
"Chopped cod wood fur livin',

"What, do people in this section pay
so much attention to wood-choppers p

Nor TO BE OUTDoNE.-In certain
manufacturing town out West, it was
a common thing, not many years ago,
for skilled workmen to save sufficient
money wherewith to build houses for
themselves.
A great deal of rivalry existed
among these men as to who should
have the best house, with sometimes
curious architectural results. A. and
B. were two rivals. A. having built a
house, B., whose turn soon afterwards
came, determined to "best" him. SO
he called in well-known architect to
prepare plans.
Asked what aspect he would like to
his house, B., scratching his head,
inquired:
"Aspect! What's that? Has A. got
one ?"
"Why, of course" said the architect,
che couldn't possibly"
"Then put me on two" was the
prompt and emphatic reply.

THIS IS NO FAIRY TALE.

Cousins this year. You know l asked your
permission to do so last January but you
said you would continue to buy at the old
place, as the Cousins were too far down
town."
"Well, Cornelia, I have not heard of
their moving any farther up"
81 know they haven't and don't suppose
they will but want to patronize them
anyway, this year. I know we will get
more satisfactory goods and better prices"
"How, do you know, Cornelia" You
make the assertion without reservation,
and Of course your reasons are good.
What are they?"
"Oh, John, men are strange creatures
and believe you are the most peculiar
of which have any knowledge. Certain
ly I can gire yO,. good reason. The
other day, I called to spend while with
my friend, Mrs. Hardtoplease and after
we had talked of all the matters in which
we women are especially interested, we
finally drifted into the subject of economy
i'm the Kitchen You know, John, that
kept books last year, and told Mrs. Fl. so.
She said she had done the same thing.
She also said that they had bought all their
groceries from Grist Cousins. Mr.. H., she
said, had his bills made every month and
paid them. BY way of comparison, she
showed me several, and, John, was
amazed at the prices the HIS paid as COM
pared to what we paid for the same arti-
cles. And besides, John, Mrs. H. said he
had never been so well pleased in quality
of goods during her 20 years experience as
housekeeper. I think you should be
satisfied now."
"Well, am, and III certainly give the
Cousins a trial. Well commence at
once. Give them an order for our next
months groceries,"

pT A country boy who was brought
up in a remote region of Scotland had
occasion to accompany his father to a
village, near which a branch line OF
railway passes. The morning after
his arrival, when sauntering in the
garden behind the house in which
they were staying, he beheld, with
wondering eyes, train pass by. For
a moment he stood staring at it with
astonishment, and then, running into
the house, he said: "Father, father,

plays or the stage to-day is "Peck's
Bad Boy" which will delight the thea
IRE goers at the New Opera House,
Monday night next. The Peck's Bad
Boy company is composed OF specialists.
The play is one OF fun-making through
out, in which the Dad Boy" the
Corner Grocer" and the Policeman"
all play an important part. The sing
ING and dancing is also very clever.
Commenting on the performance of
the Miron LeiiiAgwell and Ellie Darling

commencing Thursday, an exchange
says: The Hand of Fate is melo-
