Money in Wasps.

Along the banks Of the Cape

are lowlands, behind which lies
a higher level, or bench. The
lowlands are subject to more or
less frequent overflow by fresh
cts, which are destructive to
crops planted thereon. A NUNS
Der of years ago a farmer, resi>
dent in the vicinity, made a
very comfortable sum of money
by insuring his neighbours crops
against these freshets. His un~
varying SUCCESS as an insurer
was for many years a profound
mystery to the people Of the
region. The years when he de-
clined to insure were invariably
years of destructive overflow.
The years when he was willing
to insure were equally certain to
be seasons of exemption for dis

England this mans reading Of

The Tramp Printer didn't
do a Thing to the
WoodviIIe Blower
ATLANTA Constitution

When the editor Of the Wood,
vile Blower got sick and had to
leave town for week, he got
Randolph Horton Tucker to get
out the paper. Now, Mr.. Tuck
err was not an expert editor, but
he could write nice little verses
and sweet SIN ling society items
and said he could manage the
Office first rate. He wanted to
show a little extra enterprise,
so he made big spread on local
news and wrote up the notices
for the advertisers in fine style.
When his copy was all in he
went home light hearted and
happy.
But alas and a1ack The
tramp printer who was the fore<
man, printer and pressman and
who had not been fully sober
for a month, got the news and
business notices all mixed in
making up, and when the Blow
er appeared items like the fol
lowing greeted the astonlshed
citizens:
GO to Smith for fresh Jer>
sey butter. Guaranteed to lie
strictly all wool"
"Stubbs & Tubbs dealers in
green bides, rags, iron. etc.
Meals at all hours"
"Reward of $40 will be pad
for the arrest and detention OF
one of the most desirable resi-
dence lots in town. When last
heard from, was working on
steamboat in Alabama"
Get your 1ne3ls at the Snide

corrugated steel and warranted
to last a lifetime.
"Sone very artistic fresco
work has just been don on the
interior of Judge Hanp Rollins,
who was again elected justice OF
the peace last week"
The effect of this breezy issue
of the Blower was such as to
cause Mr.. Rordolph Tucker to
abandon journalism and seek
the more congenial calling OF
book agent in another State.

articles of jewelry and some
trinkets. She suspected her
servant girl, who h@d always
been trusted implicitly. a watch
was set on her, but nothing
wrong was detected, though the

Fall the servant was dismissed.

ed. Mis-. Harkiss, in telling
her troubles to a neighbor not
long ago, got an idea that, put
into execution, solved the mys>
terry. She set about to watch
her husband, and one night last
week the mystery was unravel-
ed.
Mr.. Harkiss, while fast asleep,
got up from his bed, dressed
himself, and taking a small arti-
Gle, made his way downstairs,
unbolted the door and started off
towards Bigham's woods. Mrs.
Harkiss's brother, who lives
with her, was sent after the sleep
walker and followed him down
a steep embankment and over
a fence, which the sOmnanbul;st
scaled in an easy manner, to an
old pile Of logs and underbrush
i'll the woods, where Harkiss
hid the article he had taken.
The brother-in-law marked the
place and followed the man back
The next day all the missing
articles for over a year back
were found under the logs.

His seat at the table happened
10 be in front of a roast fowl

asking the lady very politely if
she preferred anything in partic-

She replied that she would
take little Of the sole.
He had no idea where the
sole lay, SO he began to cut off a
slice of the breast.
"The SOLE" she said.
Then he tried the wing.
"The SOLE" she repeated.
This time he tried the leg.

still higher key.
He, moist with preparation
lost all patience, stuck the fork
into the body Of the fowl, saying:
Take it, body, soul and all,
putting it on the lady's plate.
