HE DYED NO MORE.
A Great Bend man recently concocted
some sort Of hair wash and succeeded
in selling 1t to some people whose hair
had ripened too early, and to some old
people who desired to look young.
Bre'r More, Of the Great Bend Plain
Dealer, had few, whitened locks,a and
the dye man sold him bottle of the
stuff. One application made those
locks a beautiful cucumber green, and
1t required the services of a chemist
TO make them white again. The hair
dye man was in Susquehanna a few
days ago, and Just as the chap was
about TO take the train for home, a
wicked wag asked him why he didn't
sell Sam More a bottle?" Then the
dyc man winked the other eye, and
commenced humming the old, familiar
hymn
I'm going home to dye no More

PARENTAL AFFECTION.
Farmer Oliver, living near Ararat
while cutting wood, a few days ago
saw two foxes remaining CONSTANT,
near a fallen tree. Upon approachins
the tree he discovered larger liml
with a cavity in which were two half
grown foxes. Neither was able to walk
and evidently had never been out o
their place of confinement. 1t seeem
probable that the foxes crawled int
the hole in the limb when very young
and remained there until they ha,
grown so that escape was impossible
They had been fed by the old foxe
through small aperture in the limb.
