Office employee aud cut his hair when

will also take him for a motor-car
ride every Sunday afternoon for three
months. The winner had wagered q
two-acre crop Of runner beans on the
champion.
Not long ago q steepleiark named
Howard balanced himself on his
bicycle on the top of q sinety foot
chimney to win bet of FIVE shilIngs.
The machine was hauled up to the top
of the chimney. and Howard mounted
Il there, balancing himself on the
narrow ledge for about two minutes.
Romantic indeed was the penalty
paid by a girl who was the principal
party to curious wager. She had
two admirers. one local lawyer and
the other a weil-to-do farmer She had
refused both, although II was evident
that she did not dislike either. To
bring tie matter to conclusion the
two r,vals, who were also friends, de-
cided that with her consent they would
compete for her hand, the winner to
claim the bride and the loser to pro-
vide dowry of FL. 900 In addition to
losing his claim.
The girl consented and the terms Of
the contest were arranged II was to
be race over three mile course one
mile was to be ridden. another run. and
the third walked. The lawyer won.
A rash bet was made by a Miss
Miller Of California. She was so con-
WINGED that one of her many wooers
would secure seat In congress that
she bet a thousand kisses against
twenty-five oxen with a rival admirer
that her champion would lead the poll.
Fate was against her. however, and
Miss Miller had to pay her debt
