The ancient Egyptians made their

A SHOTGUN MAKEUP.


Everybody for ten miles around knew
that Burt Thatcher and Minnie Davis
were engaged. She was the daughter Of
a farmer,and he was a clerk in village
store, and both had many friends and
accuaintanceS.
The course of true love was running
along as smoothly as pair of bob
sleighs in winter time when a windmill
agent came along and sold Farmer Da-
Wis a mill.
The agent was a middle-aged man
with golden WhislSers and a great deal
Of cheek and as he had to direct the
setting I'D of the mill he was at the
farmhouse for a couple Of weeks HIS at
tentiOn was early attracted to Minnie.
and he posed for an old bachelor and
uttered more words of praise and fiat
terry in ten minutes than she had ever
heard in a month before
The knowledge that she was engaged,
together with a sight of the young man
who was to lead her to the hymeneaI
altar, animated the agent with a spirit
Of deviltry, and he sang the praises OF
Minnie Davis till Burt Thatcher's jeai-
ousy was aroused and he was ready for
a quarrel
When once a young man let's his best
girl understand that he is jealous of her
she feels it her bounden duty to make
him as uncomfortable as she can for a
few weeks
Young Thatcher might as Wen have
been jealous OF Ainnie's grandfather as
Of the windmill man with his golden
whiskers. but when he heard that the
two sang hymns and played checkers
together. in addition to gathering har-
vest apples and reading Shakespeare on
the front veranda after dinner. the
green-eyed monster demanded a row.

say his whiskers are golden"
They are yaller,"
You want to pick a ouarrelt''
You want to marry himl"
From thence on it was easy for the
young man All he had to do was to
call Minnie a heartless girl. a flirt and a
ccuuette, and add that he was glad he
had found her out before it was too
leta.
Her feelings were hurt. her indigna-
ton aroused. and she suggested that he
had better look around and find some
one to suit him better. OF course he
drove away with flaming face and
surging heart. and of course it wasn't
q week before everybody heard Of the
row and had something to say about it,
