Why She Wept.

Mrs. Robinson who had just been
married a week, was quarreling
with her mother-in-law when her
husband, Mr.. Robinson, came in
and told his young wife that they
had been invited to the party.
Upon seeing the invitation, she
hurriedly dressed and went TO
supper
As they were sitting by the
table Mr.. Robinson happened to
notice some white stuff which he
thought was vanilla ice cream. He
got big spoonful of it and quick
ly put it into his mouth before he
had time to smell its strong odor.
Ten seconds passed before tears
were rolling down his crimson
cheeks, for the vanilla ice
cream" was in reality very hot
horse radish. His wife noticed the
tears and she asked him to tell
her the real truth and he answered
"Oh, I'm just crying about a
little dog of mine that died last
week"
About two minutes later Mrs
Robinson noticed this vanilla ice
cream" and also took a large
spoonful. Innocent tears at once
began to roll down her rosy
cheeks. and her husband, who was
watching her all the time waiting
TO see if she would cry asked,
Sweetheart, what are you crying
about"
The young wife, however, now
began 10 see into the matter, and
remembering her husbands an
swer, said:
con, I'm just crying because
my mother-in-law didn't die when
your little dog did"

Oats About All Sown.

Weather conditions for the
most part have been favorable for
the farmers and as a result
spring work is well under way
and a larger part of the oats have
already been sown," stated O..
Montague, a well known farmer
and feeder of Audrain county,
Mo-, to the Live Stock Reporter
while in st. Louis the other day
with a consignment of cattle that
sold at satisfactory prices. "The
weather has been ideal this
winter and we have had but little
really bad spells. From now on
the farmers will be very busy and
will soon be working their ground
in preparation for the new crop
of corn. For the time being at
least we will not have much time
to devote to the stock business.
Prospects are favorable that the
corn acreage this season will be
quite large, if anything surpass-
ing last season. There is still lots
of old corn in my section which is
worth about forty cents. How
ever, most of the grain is held by
the farmers and / expect that
a larger share of the last years
crop will be marketed in the way
of pork and beef. If anything the
summer feeding will be heavier
volume. "

sale Of household goods, says the
Farber Forum. The other day
she noticed that a paper had been
put in back of the glass and on
taking out the glass found a copy
of the st. Louis Republican, dated
July "a, 1868, now the st Louis
Republic The paper has four
pages and. with the exception of
a few want ads, has no advertise
ments. Seymour and Blair were
the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice President and
the paper was strongly advocating
their election.
Col. j. r. Hutton. of Mexico
was a presidential elector from
the Ninth District.
The Democrats of this district
were to hold their convention at
Mexico the 10Th Of August. and
the paper hoped that Col. VIM.
| F. Switzler would be nominated
without opposition.
II will he remembered that Col.
Swit2ler had been elected to
/ Congress from this district at the
previous election, but was coun-
ted ont by Rodman. Anderson
