Hiram Darts Refusal.

When old Hiram Dart was in his 18th year
! the faithful old vile, who had been his COM
| panion for full half century, sickened and
| died, and, to the surprise and amusement of
his rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth in
search Of another wife before Hannah, his
first spouse, had been six weeks in her grave,
He made no secret Of the fact that he was
sin the market" and seemed surprised that
the bidders were so few, He attributed this
fact to the general lack of taste and judgment
in the "wmmen folks" of the present day.
"They're hnioky lot anyhow" said old
Hiram, ''an' it comes O this fool new VIM
men dee."
One day old Hiram drove by neighbours
house all ''riggeI UP" in his Sunday best and
with blue satin nectie forming mar ked
contrast to the big red geranium in his but
tonhole. He tarried for q moment at his
neighbor's gate, and frankly confessed that
he was "goin' sparkin'."
The object of this amatory visitation was
the Widow Breese, who lived "over Hebron
way" and with whom old Hiram was who'll
ly unac1uainted. Some one had, in a spirit
OF either malice or mischief, made old Hi,
ram believe that the Widow Breese, robust,
well-to-do woman of about 20, would be in
clined to look with favor on Hiram's suit.
San it won't be no harm done to 90 an
3see her any way" said Hiram as he drove
away. .i.,.,...
! 1t was nearly dark when Hiram reaDpear-
Jed far less buoyant than when he went away,
His neighbor was on the lookout, and hailing
the old man, he said:
swell, Uncle Hiram, did the Widow
Breese refuse you?"
"Not much she didn'tm retorted Hiram
spiritedly. 81 refused herr"
"You refused her? Why what do you
mean. Uncle Hiram?"
"Mean jess what say. refused the old
-old-cattymount"
"Why, Uncle Hiram, is that respectful
way to speak about LADY,"
"a lady' Humph! Great lady old Jane
Breese is! You call woman lady who
sails into feller with broomstck an calls
i'm an ole fool an sich like names!'
"Did Mrs. Breese do that?'
"She jest didl guess she'd got wind that
I was comm, for I'd hardly interdoosed my
self an began TO state my bizness when she
few at me with oroomstick an drenched
me with hot water, an sicked hef dawg on
an jawed the worst ever heerd. Jess wait
ed till she got through, an then up an told
her pint blank that wouldn't have her if
she was the last woman on top of the earth.

A school teacher has turned up
in Ohio who was evidently con
structed without soul. Here is
the evidence. He was a bashful
young man, only 20, and was teach
ing a country school. He had
among his scholars a bevy Of far
mer's daughters, who hoped that
their charms might make some i'm
preston upon the bashful young
pedagogue. Finding that there
was no responsive chord in his cal
lous heart they waylaid him one
day and held him until each one in
turn had kissed him. The BOBBY,
when released, fed panic stricken
and left the neighborhood for good.
Of course he is no good and the
patrons of The school do well to be
rid of his service. Had he been SO
overcome by the lavish dlspensar
tion of rural sweetness thatit would
have been impossible for him to
proceed with his daily duties with,
out first taking vacation for the
purpose of recuperation, it would
not have been strange; but fellow
who would run off from such pun
ishment has no more idea of what
constitutes superlative, bliss than
a cast iron monkey. For such a
man we have not sufficient respect
to print bis name.--KnoxwlleJo Jour
