men called at his home, knocked at
the, door. The gentleman's wife an
swered the knock. The men forced
themselves in and demanded her hus-
pandfs money. She said that there was
no money there. They called her a
liar and began beating her to make
her tell. Finally she said that her hus-
pand had gone to Elizabeth City with
IT. Ihey then demanded that she give
them supper, which she did through
rear. When the coffee was poured out
there was no sugar on the table. They
TOD her to go and get some She went
10 the pantry, put sugar in the dish
ana poured box of Rough on Rats
IN H. The men took the sugar and put
1t In their coffee. After a little while
they became sick. The woman went
over to her neighbour to get the gentle
man and his sons to come to her as
s:stance. His wife said that her hus-
band and two sons had gone off, but
they would soon be back, but she would
go nome with her. When the two wo-
men reached the house they found the
men struggling with pain. They re-
moved the masks and, to their great
surprise found the men to be the hus-
band and sons OF her neighbor. In

A REFORMED JOKER.
From the Detroit Free Press.

ut took a good many years, but I'm
cured. You couldn't get me to at
tempt a practical joke If there was a
fortune in II. But the remedy was
something terrible" and the old gem
t!eman who did the talking ground his
teeth You know that | never stopped
At anything and / used to gloat over
my victims till l now wonder that
some of them don't do me bodily harm.
My reformation was wrought in this
way: After being married for TWENTY
eight years and getting together Il
handsome fortune, my wife and I de-
cided on trip through the South and
EaSt. When we were seated in the
crowded car on which we took our
leave, Blobbs, whom I had joked in
cessnntlE. entered with merry party
Of friends, congratulated us at the
top of their lungs. wished us all kinds
of good luck and showered us with
flowers. My wife was indignant TO
tears and my chief grief was that I
was not armed.
But this send-off was only be-
ginning. AT the first stopping place
there were half a dozen teleeram
awaiting us, and others reached us
along the route. Our ears. were con-
stantly assnied by expressions like
these: No fool like an old fool We'll
it's not May and December Who saws
marriage is failure?' and a 10, OF
other chaff, varied by an occasional
love ditty. at our first hotel we were
greeted with effuslon, Informed that
our coming had been announced and
shown to the bridal chamber. We
had floral centerpiece. bearing the
cards Of Blobbs and his fellow-con-
sprators. and we We're gazed upon as
though museum attractions. 1t was
simply uncomfortable for either of us. I
changed our route and cut off our for
mentors. but the trip was not a sup
cess. When Blcbbs and l meet there
is only one of us that speaks, and he
grins."

WASHINGTON. March 29.-In the Sen.
ate to-day Mr.. Tillman, OF South Caro-

Eulogies upon Senator Earle were de-

Mr.. Clay. Mr. SpoOner. Mr.. Chiffon, Mr..
Cannon. Mr.. Keuney Mr.. McEnery and
Mr Tllman.
one Of the most remarkable culogies
paid IN the Senate was pronounced by
Mr.. Tllmah. In paying tribbn 10 the
late Senator Mr.. Tilman said he felt u
he failed TO pay IL the history OF tho
worth and virtue Of the late General
Earle would lack the important asu-
mony which he alone could give.
Mr.. Tilman then review what he said
was ono Of the most remarkable poliu-
cal campaigns ever waged-thai of the
gubernat0rial nomination IN the Palmetto
state IN 1880. in which he and General
Earle were rival candidates. In that
campaign the reform movement headed
by Mr. TiNman was successful. General
Earle carrying only four OF the thirty
i've counties Of the State. During that
campaign General Earle won the admi-
radon OF all by the interpidity ana dis.
ungulshed ability with which he con-
Quoted himself and paved the way 10
his subsequent election TO the Senate.
In conclusion. Mr. Tlllman said that
while his might not be the highest tribute
that could be paid 10 General Earle.
none certainly could be more sincere and
heartfelt.
