ACCOMMODATED.

He was a dudish little man, but he
had loud voice, and evidently want
ed everyone to know what he said.
He and companion, who, be it said
to his credit, seemed ashamed of his
company, stood in the rotunda of the
hotel.
The little fellow was talking about
Ireland, and he said many hard things
ABOUT the country and the people.
A great big man stood near by, lis
tening to the little fellow vaporings.
He merely smiled until the little
fellow said in a very loud tone:
"Show me an Irishnan and I'll
show you coward"
Then the big fellow slipped up and
touching the little fellow on the shoul-
der said in heavy, bass voice:
What's that you said ?"
II said show me an Irishman and
I'll show you coward" j." said the lit
tie fellow, whose knees were shiver-
ing under him at great rate.
well, I'm an Irishman," said the
big fellow.
"You are an Irishman? WE'LL"
and a smile of Joy fitted over the
little fellows countenonce as he saw
hole through which he could crawl,
II am the coward"
And he was.

dressed as his circumstances allow !;
if he wears rags they are clean, and
he is always polite. After listening
to one of them for awhile and his
stories of old time, one feels as if car
ried back to sort of dreamland that
he used to inhabit in another world.
And with a sad smile on his honest
old face and heartfelt sigh he'll close
up by saying "Well, marser, times
is different en- people amt like wat
dey used ter be. Pogerty poverty
is got US en- de po buckra is got rich,

''Why, he hates tramps, too. So
I want you to rig up as one and get
him to chase you, say, anywhere from

LEFT TO MOURN THIRTEEN WIVES.

A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
from Middletown, N. Y, under date
of December 22d, says: At the age
of 90, James Nichols Lam, doctor,
preacher and author, and the husband
of thirteen wives, is living wifeless
and alone, at Goshen. His life has
been crowded full of incident and ac-
ton and he thus summarized it to
your correspondent:
''I was born in the town of Mount
Hope, Orange county, April 23d,
1903. 1 became interested in medi-
cine and determined to study it. I
graduated from the New York Medi-
cal College in 1919. 1 went to Mil
ford, Pa, and lived retired life there.
married there July goth, 1890,
Maria Westbrook. After few short
months she was taken from me. Her
dying request was that should mar
ry her sister h,,t ] corld not bring
myself to do SO until the fall of 1892.
In the winter of 1892 she died.
''Her aunt, a widow, Mrs Kate
Westbrook, came to care for my house,
and in time we were married. Three
years from Our wedding day she ex-
pired. l do not know what l should
have done had it not been for the
kindly ministrations of Miss Mary F.
Pellon, relative of my dead wives.
learned to love her and we were
married September 9th, I84o. We
went to Washington, D. c., and there
she died of consumption two years
later. In December, 1874, in Will
liamsburg, Va, Addie Graham and l
were married. In May, IS45, we re-
turned to Milford and about month
later my wife became suddenly i'll
and died in my arms. July 18th,
1851, l married Mrs. Sarah R. Dew
pomp, of Philadelphia, and in Novem-
Der of that year she died in my arms
on train.
In April, 1852, married Mary
Jane Conklin, a beautiful young heir
ess, whose dowry was $I5o, 900. We
travelled extensively and were very
happy, but in the spring of 1884 she
died. Undismayed for bad luck, l
married in March of that year Miss
Corwin. We were making ready for
trip to Europe when she died on
Christmas eve. February, 1887, I
married Annie Hardey, rich young
Philadelphia woman. Ny wife's
health began to fail, and in March,
1860, 1 took her to Colorado, where
she died month later.
''I remained in Colorado and met
a young woman, Miss Marguerite 1.
Case, whom l married. After few
months of unalloyed happiness, she
was taken from me- November 9th
of that year l married Annie Meen-
hold, a haxen haired German girl.
In just four weeks she died, and l
turned my back on Colorado. In
January, 1866, at Indianapolis, l mar
ried Miss Julia. Dewet, who was en-
gagged in revival wesk there
Early in that year, while we were
at Cleveland and making many con-
verts, my wife succumbed to over
work, and I was alone again. We
had as assistant young woman,
Gertrude, the wife of Rev. William
L. Laymont. We continued to work
together, and in May, 1872, married
her. She was killed at Asheville,
N. c., in July, 1874. My last matri-
monial venture was after 1 settled in
Goshen. There 1 married the belle
of Arp City, but she was not true to
me and got divorce. "

ODE OWED TO MY HEN.

/ said to my hen: "Oh, hen, old hen,
The days of your setting are DER,
AS you see you're no match
For the chicks / can hatch
In my newly-bought incubator"
/ said to my hen: "Oh. hen, white hen,
You ought to have chicks of your own,
For of eggs from my best
l filled up you nest,
It's time, but see you have none."
1 said to my hen: "Oh. hen, white hen,
Will you take these chickens small?
They were hatched in a chine
(You know what ] mean.)
And they have no mother at ALL
Then the old hen opened her bill and said,
AS she eyed those chickens small:
You must send right away
For brooder today:
Inever can hover them all.'

engaged putting telegraph poles upin
some land belonging to an old farmer
who disliked seeing his grass tram
pied down. He ordered them off his
land. The men produced paper
which said that they had leave to put
the poles up where they pleased. The
old farmer went back and turned a
bull into the field. The savage beast
made after the men, and the old
farmer, seeing them running out of
the field, shouted at the top of his
voice:
