Horse on Hetty.

In her younger days Hetty Green
had for a neighbor an old Vermont
farmer, with just touch of that same
native shrewdness that has made her
name famous. One day, in the midst
Of the thrashing, this old farmer
broke his winnowlng fan and sent

Certainly" was the suave reply,
The is perfectly welcome to my fan,
but ] never let my tools be taken off
the place. Tell him to bring his grain
here and he may winnow as much as
he likes on my barn floor"
OF course, this was an awkward ar
rangement, but the farmer said moth
ing. Some weeks later Mrs. Green
sent over in hurry to borrow the old
fellows side-saddle.
Certainly, she is perfectly welcome
to the use of my saddle. It's hanging
over rafter in the loft above The
wagon shed; tell her to come right

LAWSUIT ENDED BY MARRIAGE

at strikes me-" said the justice,
that there is a pleasant and easy
way to terminate this lawsuit. The
plaintiff seems to be a respectable
;oung man, and this is very nice
young woman. They can both get
married and live upon the farm. If
they go on with law proceedings the
property will all be frittered away
among the lawyers, who, am sure,
are not ungallant enough to wish the
marriage not to come off,"
The lady blushed, and the young
man stammered that they liked each
other a little bit;" so a verdict was
rendered for the plaintiff, on condi-
ton of his promise to marry the de-
PENDANT within two months-a stay
Of execution being put to the verdict

TURNED JOKE ON HIS FRIEND.
In This Case Last LAUGH Was Decid-
edly the Best.

edly the Best.
j. Q. Hoyt, once postmaster at Bar
net, Vermont, and Seth Ford, White
Mountain stage line owner, also Of
Barnet, were great friends, and were
always playing jokes on each other.
Hoyt was a tailor, his shop being
opposite Mr. Ford's residence. Ford
once bought a suit of clothes OF
Hoyt, who told him they were "halt
cotton" Ford took them home. His
wife looked them over and told him
they were call cotton, and no half
about it."
He took them back and said: "Hoyt,
you said these clothes were half cot
tom
"They are" said Hoyt.
well, what is the other half?"
THAT is cotton, too"
Some time afterward Hoyt's store
and the safe keys were missing. They
were supposed to have been dropped
by him into box of suspenders while
he was showing a prospective buyer
the stock, and that the next pair OF
suspenders he sold he sold the keys
with them.
In some way Ford got the keys and
returned them to Hoyt, saying:
Here, Hoyt, do these belong to you?
found them under my chicken
roost."
