STOOD WHERE SHE WAS PUT
Wife Obeyed Orders to the Letter, but Unfortunately Workmen Moved
 Post Hole.

In a western state workmen began to dig a post hole for an electric light in front of Dutchman's dwelling, when the master forbade them to con tinue. After some discussion the Dutchman bade his wife stand on a large, flat slate with which he GOV cred the hole Now, Gretchen" he said, dat ish where you shtands till I comes back nit ein enjunction." The solid frau stood there like statue, her hands on her hips. When the husband disappeared, the leader of the workmen ordered the slate, with the frau on it, to be removed. With perfect politeness the lady was set on one side as if she had been a fat tea pot on a salver. The Dutch wife stood like Casabianca, but the hole was well in it's place when the householder re- turned with the injunction. He was overcome with astonishment and wrath. "vy vas you not stood on dat hole?" he demanded of his wife. Tt was on dis stone dat you vas puts me-" she answered He looked at her in helpless indignation a moment, and then cried: T vas not mean dat you shtand on dat stone ven dat hole was carried away,"-Christian Register.

It is understood that Miss JobeIle Holcomb, the present dean of women, will not be a candidate for reelection, but as there are at least five other candidates for the place, there is no danger of it's go- ing begging.
