HAwKsNEsr, w. YA-Near this
place lived a man who mortgaged
his home to buy his wife pair of
diamond earrings. The wife took
in washing to pay the interest on
the mortgage. but on the first job
lost one of the "sparks" in the
suds, where upon she tried to hang
herself in the barn, but the rope
broke and she fell on Jersey COW
worth $3.50 and broke its back.
Her husband then undertook to
shoot the COW to put it out of its
misery, but the gun burst and de-
stroyed both eyes. His wife then
ran away with lightning rod ped
dler. The mortgage is still on
deck and bids fair to live to ripe
old age.

their father and who equally divided
the property among them. Among the
appurtenances thereto was cat, fine
animal, excellent for housing, and this,
too, was divided, the elder brother own
ing the right front quarter, the second
brother the left front quarter and the
younger brothers the two hind quarters
Now, unfortunately, the cat in one OF
its nocturnal prowls injured the right
front paw, and the elder brother at
tended to that portion Of his property
by binding the injured member with a
creased rag. The cat, thankful for this
relief to its suffering, went to sleep
contentedly before the fire, but in the
midst Of its slumbers falling coal ig-
nited the rag, and the animal, bowling
with agony, dashed through the ware
house, and, coming in contact with some
combustihles. set the building on fire.

ground that had he not tied up his part
of the cat with the infammable rag the
building would not have been destroy.

had the cat only been possessed Of the
front right paw-his property would
have stood still and burned to death. Il

the damage. The brothers argued the
case until they died, but could neve,
