He Didn't Swallow II.

The uncle from Kentucky arrived on
the very evening of the dinner in honor
of distinguished relative from Scot
land, so there was nothing to do but
include the uncle from Kentucky in the
list of guests and trust to Providence
to keep him from making any serious
blunders. Not that he wasn't cultured
gentleman and all that, but he was SO
free and outspoken that his relatives,
though they loved him dearly, some
times grew very nervous when he was
around. All went well enough at the
dinner until the uncle put red-hot
oyster in his mouth. 1t burnt terribly,
but nevertheless his niece was Mortified
to see him open his mouth, spit out the
offending oyster onto his plate, then
look about with smile serene and say:

lowed that!"-Indianapolis Sentinel

After taking out quantity Of earth
he again went to the spider and took his

the busy little fellow had the hole too
deep for him TO throw the earth clear
out he would go on the bank and force
it back with his feet. After he had the
excavation large enough for his purpose
he went to the spider and took it to the
grave, for such it proved to be, and
dragged tito the mouth of the hole. After
he had the body in he covered it with

had finished the work he flew away.

HE B0ASTED TOO MUCH.
And Then His Friends Played
Highwaymen for Fun.
How n st. Louis Hotel Clerk was Made
the Victim of N Series of Very
Clever and Amusing Prac-
teal Jokes.

Since the recent hold-ups have be-
come subjects of daily discussions in
hotels and private homes, opinions as to
what a man would do if hewere held up
have been numerous and varied, says
the ST. Louis Republic.
A few days ago Clerk Chidsey, of the
Planters, was the center of group of
men who said what they would do if
they were held up. Mr.. Chidsey de-
clared that highwaymen would have a
hard time to ever get anything from
him.

or all my money in my trousers! Not
much. 1 put dollar here and dollar
there, and when the robbers go down in
one pocket they think they have it all
and save the bulk, even if they should
ever get me to throw up my hands!"
A few evenings ago the atmosphere
was rather foggy. Mr.. Chidsey started
out on his constitutional up Chest
nut street, then over to Laclede and so
on. At'Twelfth and Chestnut, two men
stepped from out of the shadow. Hold
up your hands!" they commanded. Mr.
Chidsey without a murmur held them
up. Down the robbers reached into the
pocket of his trousers and pulled out
one silver dollar. They took it and left.
Mr.. Chidsey felt elated; his scheme
had worked like charm. On he walked,
saying to himself that he might have
enjoyed eight "two-fers" with that dol
lar if he only had it back again.
At Twelfth and Chestnut streets Mr..
Chidsey was confronted by two more
men. Throw up your hands!" they
said. and Mr.. Chidsey threw them up.

with his horns, and she was bravely
pelting him in the face with small
club, while the fierce animal would dash
at the trees time and time again, try
ing to reach her with its sharp horns.
Mr.. Brown could see that her face was
pale, and her dress was badly torn
by the deer's horns, while her strength
was failing fast, though she still kept
up the contest. Running forward, he
shouted with all his might and dealt the
deer a tremendous blow on its back
with his heavy hoe. The deer was al
most knocked down, but, turning
around with an angry snort, it plunged
at Brown with lowered head. Brown
hardly had time to turn before the
angry animal was on him.
The contest was terrible one. The
deer and man swayed back and forth
through the glade, the buck wild with
anger, striving to pierce Brown with
his sharp horns, while he hung on for
life. His hoe had dropped in
the struggle and he had nothing to aid
him. Feeling himself growing weak,
he called out to Miss Taylor to get the
hoe and help him. The brave girl, who
was standing by watching the unequal
contest, got the hoe, and, marching
up to the side of the combatants,
brought it down with resounding
whack on the back of the animal, send
ing it staggering to one side. Brown
pushed his advantage, and with an eff
fort overthrow the deer. As the animal
fell he gave it mighty wrench in such
a way as to break it's neck, and the an
imal fell dying. Springing up, he hit
it with his heavy hoe, killing it.
1t seems that Miss Taylor had taken
a short cut to the schoolhouse, and was
coming through the hammock, when
unexpectedly the deer sprang forth and
attacked her. But for the appearance
of Brown she would have been killed, as
the deer was in a most ferocious mood
from some cause. Miss Taylor received
several severe wounds, and her dress
was almost cut in ribbons. Brown also
was badly injured, receiving several Sc
we're cuts in his legs from the sharp
horns nf the deer

when, at the corner of Thirtieth and La
