Good Joke on ka1oka Squire Who

The following story comes from

Last Saturday being April |, some
of the court house lads decided to
play a prank on the justice of the
peace There is a good deal of rivalry
between the squire and the probate
Judge, both being anxious to tie the
nuptal knots.
About $50 Saturday afternoon a
nice looking couple drove UP to the
hitch-rack on the south side of the
Justices office and where he would
be sure to see them. The squire, sure
enough, saw them and kept his eyes
longingly fastened on the couple as
they wended their way toward the
court house After they entered he
still kept his eyes firmly fixed on he
building.
The couple had told the recorder
about the joke and he made them out
license; then he raised the wiGdow
and beckoned TO the Justice. The
squire came in a hurry, but none too

TALE OF TWO POOR NEPHEWs
Each Tried to Please the Rich Old
Uncle, Who Then Made
New viii.

There once was rich old uncle
who had two poor nephews.
And when Christmas came the two
poor nephews were anxious to show
the rich old uncle how much they
thought Of him.
Now the first poor nephew reasoned
that he should impress his rich old
uncle with the great affection he bore
him by some tangible means. So he
drew out his savings and purchased
for his rich old uncle a magnificent
gold watch, and had it neatly en-
graved. To it he attached gorgeous
chain, put the whole affair in Law
ishly decorated box and sent 1t to his
rich old uncle with his best wishes
The second poor nephew figured
that any extreme financial outlay
would convince his rich old uncle that
he was trying TO jolly him bit too
much, SO he invested nickel in a
neat but tasty Christmas card, which
he mailed to the rich old uncle.
SO the rich old uncle received the
two remembrances and said OF the
first nephew;
flumph! man who will spend
all he has for a gold watch TO give to
man who already has all the watches
he ever will need hasn't got enough
judgment to be trusted With money.
viii leave him my blessing and few
words of good advice"
When he looked at the card he nod
ded his head approvingly and said:
There's man after my own heart.
He knew ! would not care for an ex-
pensive gift and he knew that would
value his good wishes, 80 he very
wisely sent them to me in this mex
pensive manner He shows marked
economical trait and am sure he
will get along in the world without
any aid from me.
