Bible Harmony.

Please harmonze In your query Col.
unn tho statements OF the two inspired
writer's Mathew L., lo and Luke Ill. %.
Who was Joseph's father?
a FAfMVILLE READER.
Answer. st. Matthew gives tho descent
of Joseph; st. Luke gives that OF Mary.
They were both OF the line of David
Joseph through Solomon's descendants,
and Mary through the descendants Of
Nathan. another son OF David. That
Mary's name does not appear In tho
genealogy OF st. Luke, 1t is not unusual
in tho old documents. Heli was her
father. This fact the Talmud of tho
Jews mentions, and Joseph became son
of He'll by marrying Heirs daughter.
The phrase "son Of was used with less
defniteness OF old than now, then mean
Ing grandson or son-in-law. an heir. The
Talmud referred to is, Treatise Bava
Bathra. The same treatise defends the
custom OF emitting the name OF mother
from Il genealogical line.

.COWBOY HUSBANDS

A Clarksburg lady wants to get
into communication with a cow
boy and has written a Texas post
master to that effect, as viii be
seen from the following news item,
taken from the San Antonio Ga
zette:
We are in receipt of the San An
tonia Gazette, published at San
Antonio, Texas, forwarded to US by
our friend Harvey I. Morris, from
which we clip the following item
Two more young ladies, oae
from Chicago and the other from.
Clarksburg, W. Va, have written
postmaster Stevens asking the
names of cowboys who are sober
and docile enough for husbands.
These letter are all very similar
in tone in the beginning and in
dictate that some one has started
an endless chain" However, oc-
casionally writer puts in few
words that indicates that she is
really longing for the love Of some
wild man from the plains of Tex
as.
The postmaster is inclined to be-
ieve that there is some scheme in
connection with the letters 10 So
cure the address of \ large number
of cowboys and then attempt a
sgreen goods" game. he believes,
however, that the girls who are
writing the letters are innocent
dupes and not in any way connect
ed with the scheme
The most touching letter received
this morning was from Miss Jane
Book, 1888 Locust street, Clarks-
burg, ". Va, and in conclusion she
says:
q have several suitors here, but
/ don't want them for | want q Real
old Cow Boy. I do love to read
about Cow Boys so much 50 = I
would rather read e letter from a
real Cow Boy. I think I shall come
70 Texas some Of these days if /
never hear from any Cow Boy
through writing this letter"
Miss Book modestly admits to be-
ing IS years old, 5 feet 2 inches
tall, Light hair, blue eyes ard fair
complexion
The Chicago girl is Miss Annetta
Adams, liz South Peoria street,
and in describing her personal
charms she says:
81 am % years old, five feet eight
inches tall, have light brown hair,
gray eyes, and am what my friends
cali good looking"
The postmaster has also received
4 letter from another Texas cow
boy, declaring that be is ready and
willing, yea, even anxious, to be

wooed by the girls desiring @real,
honest and sober cowboy for a husz
band"
This is Jim spraggins, Rural
Route No. 2, Howe, Texas. He
says:
Dear Postmaster-As seen an
ad in the Paper of Girls want to
correspond with Cow Boys, they had
sent YOU their names and ad I Will
send you a stamp. Please send me
some of their names"
If the matter keeps up the post
master is considering the establish
ment of a matrimonial bureau and
placing one of the clerks at the
postofice permanently in charge.
