"No, sir"
els it the food you're complaining
Off"
"No, SIR"
"Well, what is it, them"
"Id rather not say"
"Now, john" said his employer,
losing his patience, "you've been
three years in my employ; it is long
time, and l insist upon you telling
me why you wish to leave"
"Well," said the the hired man,
:" if you want to know, it's on the &C.
count of your wife; it's nag, nag,
nag from morning to night, and l
can't stand it any longer" His en-
ployer sighed, and then said solemnly /:
"John, 60 up stairs to your bed.
room, lock the door, and then go
down on your Bonded knees and thank
heaven that you're not married to
her."
The hired man stayed.

Here's Cheek for You.

The proprietor Of a certain grocery
business in Olympia has q good deal
to put up with from some of his GUS
toners, but even his stock OF patience
gave out, Tuesday afternoon. A
youngster came in and ordered small
glass of jam. On being served with it
he merely nodded across the counter
and remarked:
Put it down till Saturday."
The groceryman turned with sigh
to the credit book, and few minutes
later he was serving another customer,
when the youngster returned with the
glass of jam.
INA says" he remarked. as he
dumped the article down on the
counter. "that this here glass lie
cracked"
The grocer picked up the jam, in.
spected the glass, replaced it on the
shelf, and turned to the boy with de-
termination on his features. "Tell
your ma" he said firmly, "that her
credits in the same condition"
And the youngster departed jamless.

ALMOST A MIRACLE
Strange Action of Giant Pow

Monday John Maledon, the express
nau. loaded his wagon with giant
powder, caps and fuse, intending u
laul it to the powder house on the
Grade. AS it was near the noon hour
e concluded to take lunch before 60
.ng on his journey, and hauled the
DAD of explosives to his residence on
North Stewart street, and after eating
jtarted to turn the wagon around TO
-ome down the hill. He miscalculatsd,
auwever, and cramped his wagon too
much. The vehicle was overturned
and the explosives hit the ground with
/ crash; but, strange to say, there
was no explosion. As giant powder
eXplodes frequently from a slight
shock, it's failure to do so in this
Instance is nothing short of a miracle.
The wagon was heavily loaded, and
rad the powder gone off the result
would have been f.ightful and the
town very likely wiped out of exist
