Two Women.

I know two womsr and one is chaste And cold as the Snow on . winter waste; Stainless ever. in act and thought GAS . man born dumb in speech errs nou. But she has malice toward her kind. A cruel tongue and jealous mind. Void of pity and full of greed. She judges the world by her narrow
 creed A brewer Of guarrels, a breeder of hate; Yet she holds the key to societys gate. The other woman with heart of flame, Went mad for a love that marred her
 name And out of the grave of her murdered
 faith, She rose like a soul that had passed
 through death: Her aim is noble. her ri;y % broad. IL covers the world like the mercy of
 God. A healer of discord. soother of woes. Peace follows her footsteps wherever sas
 goes. The worthier life of the two. no doubt. But society locks her out Perth tAustrslis1 Times.

WHEN HOGS WENT DOWN.
Error That Made . Surprising Differ.
 ence In the Load.

On circus day" in a small Okla homa city. local hog buyer took ad- vantage of the large crowds to manip- ulate the hog market by means of his scales and large supply of fred eye" It was the custom for . farmer with load of hogs to drive on the scales, be weighed. unload and return to be weighed again with the wagon. The first to come was farmer with large load of hogs. The next wagon had only one small hog. When 1t had passed on to unload, the buyer "ad. Justed" the scales for farmer No. 1, but No. 3. having the smaller load, got back first, and, on being weighed empty, his wagon weighed 25 pounds g more than with the hog. The farmer was somewhat perplexed and said:
 MT Buyer. 1t seems that I owe you 25 pounds of hog. I am sorry that I haven't another one with me. but if you can wait until next week I will bring one in"
 The dealer settled the difference" with due celerity.-Judge.
