Mr.. JOHNSON NOT TO BLAME.
Good Old Lady Understood How the
Mistake Occurred.

There is a good old lady who cannot
resist speaking well Of all her &C.
Quaintances.
On Thanksgiving day she told the
colored man who did chores about the
place that he might 60 into the barn.
yard and help himself to a chicken.
The man obeyed with alacrity and was
most profuse in his thanks.
In the course of few days the
lady's husband informed her that on
Thanksgiving day neighbors had seen
Mr.. Johnson seize two choice hens
from the coop.
Il did tell him to take one," con-
fessed the lady regretfully, "but, you
know, dear, how intensely Mr.. John
son celebrates the holidays. Why, he
simply cannot help seeing things dou-
ble"

and then-of course you mustn't
breath it to a soul-but l think there's
an attraction for Bert down there be-

and more engrossing"
"Humph," commented Nellie, but not
loud enough to be heard.
Hes getting right into the front
ranks. l suppose he will soon be quite
Indifferent to everything in this town
but his father and myself. We think
OF breaking up and going down there
to live. I wish I could begin to tell
you Of the gorgeous things that hap

Bert's mother, warming up suspicious
ly to her subject. Hes invited every
where, and know you won't tell any,
one, think it's his employers daugh-
ter. She's perfectly beautiful girl,
and of course there's loads and loads
Of money. Not that that makes any
difference. Still it's nice to have it
when there's all the other attractions.
Oh, must you be going? So sorry.
I'll tell Bert 1 met you; I'm sure he'll
remember you pleasantly"
Dearest Bert: You don't know how
glad was to get your letter. I had
begun to think something was the
matter If you ever get sick don't fail
to let me know at once. Down there
among strangers if anything happened
to you, you'd find it wasn't so funny

A good-looking, well-to-do bachelor
of Manchester was being teased by
some young women of his acquaint-

"1'll marry the one of you whom on a
secret vote you elect to be my wife,"
There were nine women in the COM

The result was that there were nine
votes cast, each receiving one. The
