A Complete Cure.

eyes, sir, DOCTOR" said the callOw
youth as he sat down before the
stern family physician, Pm in
love. It's bad case too. think
of her all day and l dream of her
all night. She's fair and lovely and
all that, but she's tickle, inconsistent
and changeable. Sometimes she has
me walking on air, and then again
Pm so blue that / wish comet
would knock the world galley west.
You don't know what it is, doctor,
to be wild with joy one day and mad
with pain the next"
"Why don't you marry her ?"
"She won't consent. Ive asked
her twenty times, and she just laughs
at me. can't stand it much longer,
DOCTOR"
"I'll give you something for your
liver and then pll give you a little
gratuitous advice. Just go up to the
house this evening and say: Here,
Maggie, we've had enough of this
foolishness. Now, play ball. Eli
ther say straight from the shoulder
that you will have me or you won't
have me- That's the way to do
business, and then stand pat, Il want
to know what's what. See p"
Next day the youth came to re-
port.
Well, how did it work ?" asked
the doctor.
"Oh, charmingly, doctor ; like
magic. You're born matchmaker
You should run a matrimonial bu.
reau, doctor. The old gentleman
didn't do a thing but kick me out
and serve notice on me that If ever
came again he would cane me-"
"That's all right. You're cured
and that's all have to do with the
case"

INVERTING A HoRsE.-There is
considerable risk incurred in shoeing
vicious horses, both to the black
smith and to the horse itself. To re-
move this risk altogether an Aus
tralian has invented a sort Of wooden
cage, the sides and top of which is
padded. The horse Is led in, the
door is fastened, and the cage is then
turned completely upside down, the
animal resting on its back with its
feet up.

Not TO BE RESISTED. - Some
years ago, at session Of the Legis-
lature of Kentucky, an effort to re-
peal the law offering bounty on
foxes scalps was made, but was de-
teated by the appeal of member
from mountainous and sparsely
settled region.
"Do the gentlemen want to de-
prive my constituents and me OF the
benefits of hearing the gospel
preached? ?" he demanded, with in
dignation in his tone and overspread-
ing his rugged countenance. ave
are all Methodists up my way, and
our preachers won't come without we
can give 'em chickens, know. We
can't raise chickens without the
foxes are killed by somebody, that's
sure, and there amt anybody that
can afford to spend their time hunt
ing foxes and get nothing to pay for
it.
So, gentlemen, if you repeal this
law, you'll be depriving my con-
stituents of the benefit of hearing
the gospel preached. That's the
way it looks to mel"
This reasoning was too much for
the Legislature, and for the time be-
ing the laW was not repealed.

which recently became part Of my ex-

one Of my customers had rather

One Woman He Minded.

A weak-looking, overdressed woman
sat in Detroit street car recently
and with her badly over-dressed
and badly-spoiled boy of about four
years, who seemed inclined to do
nothing but squirm and wriggle and
do everything his weak willed
mother told him not to do. It was
muddy, and the boys feet were COW
cred with mud and slime from the
street.
You must sit down, Reginald"
said his mother; "you'll get mud
on the dress of the lady next to
you"
But Reginald declined to sit still,
and his mother said:
Reginald, do you hear me?"
"Course | do"
"Then why don't you mind ?"
Don't want to-"
Then he began to squirm more
vigorously than before.
Reginald, why don't you mind
mamma 2"
"'Cause / don't want to.n
Is that they way you talk to
mamma ?"
So lit the way talk"
Mamma Is ashamed of you.-
Don't you see that you are getting
mud all over that lady's dress ?"
Don't care if am"
You naughty, naughty boy
Now sit down and behave YOURSELF"
Won't"
" Won't, eh ?"
The speaker was the lady into
whose lap Reginald had deliberately
and defiantly planted one of his
muddy feet. She was vigorous,
spirited-looking woman, about forty
years of age.
Won't hey ?" she asked again,
as she grabbed the dazed Reginald
by his velvet collar and laid him out
across her lap.
Won't, hey ?" she asked for
the third time, as she brought her
good right hand down again and
again with telling force on the awe
stricken youngster.
"pll let you know what you will
an what you won't do" she said,
jerking Master Reginald to a sitting
position and Pumping him down on
the car seat.
"Now, you set there and don't
you bulge! You hear me! Ifyour
ma can't make you mind 1 kim
Now you stay right where you're
put !"
And he did, both he and his mother
seemed to be too badly dazed to
make any objection to a proceeding
that delighted the hearts of all the
other occupants Of the car.

was O preliminary sign that old 'T1lda
held in reserve one of her remlnls-
cences of her life on the Old Carter
plantation, near the city OF Charleston,
and of the civil war.
We children, my sister and l, used
to love to steal down to her especial
domain in the cleaning, and tease for
story of that enchanted land OF flow

fought near the Carter place, and of
which the old negress was an eye wit

Refilling her pipe, and settling her
self in her easy chair. she continued:

lone self, an how she done put poses
on one grave fur fifteen long years
afore she found out who de poah young
fella was"
Here old 'Tilda stopped and lighted
her pipe, puffed away with a retro
spective glance at us two girls, as we
crept closer to this oracle in ebony, and.
having stimulated our curiosity, she
continued:
wal, jes' couple O. days after dat
ere big fight at Charleston my ole man,
Lige Jackson, he was down back O. de
