THE DEVILS RIDE.

Upon invitation of the delivery boy
at Il. j. Minnie's meat market, the
"devil" of this print shop took a ride
around town on the delivery wagon
last Saturday evening. The night was
dark and misty. Threatening clouds
oyerhung the town. The arc lamps in
attempting to pierce the haze, emitted
a gloomy, pickering light. The wind
sighed mournfully among the bare,
somber branches of the trees. Just as
the last order was being delivered, the
terrific rain storm struck the town and
thoroughly drenched the luckless per-
sons of the delivery boy and his coach
man.
But the worst was yet to come, Just
before turning onto Main street from
delivering package at John Sexton's
and while everything was going along
smoothly, dull thud was heard, fol
lowed by two duller "kerplunks" and a
splash. A wild scream rent the air.
Muflled cries mingled with sounds of a
struggle could he heard. Then all was
silence, save for the roar of the storm
and the irregular galloping of a fright
ened horse
Merry ha-has. followed by other such
noises, broke the stiffness. Had any
one been present as spectators, two
dark forms could have been seen div
ing like two bull frogs over the dash
board, and landing i'm the middle of
the road on hands and knees. But
luckily for them no one was OH hand
to give them the laugh. A voice was
heard to say, "Where are we, and what
the deuce is the natter" A few Sec
onds' investigation served to show that
the kingbolt had broken, separating
the horse and front wheels from the
rear of the wagon. The horse galloped
down the street with the front wheels,
but did no damage and was stopped in
front of the State Bank.
Bert has since been busily engaged
i'm cleaning the inside of the sleeves of
the overcoat which he so kindly lent
the "devil."
