“Talk about yer huntin’ trips,” said ole Jimmy Chambers. “Why, there ain't no auntin’ nowadays; no, not none “tall—least wise none worth mentionin’, “It was different when I wuz a young feller. Them wuz huntin’ days! ‘When ye went out to hunt ye got sumthin’, I tell ye. An’ most always ye got a dun sight more ‘n ye expect- fed. I remember onct down In ole Pennsylvania when I had a bunt as wuz a hunt. [I had er ole muzzle lloader rifle that could shoot some, I tell ye. Aun’ I wuz no slouch at shoot- in’ in them days myself. 1 could shoot mbout as well as ther next feller. Well, I went down to ther river lookin’ fer er deer. 1 seen one standin’ right In ‘front of er big tree. 1 pulled up ther ole muzzle loader an’ let her go. Jest as I fired a big fish jumped out of ther /water, an’ my shot went plum through ihim. 1 seen by ther way he fell I'd plugged er hole in him. The deer [est dropped where he stood—never ‘stirred, jest fell stone dead. “I rushed out into ther river an’ grabbed my fish ‘fore it could float away. With ther fish under my arm II started fer ther deer. An’ what d’ye suppose’? 8° help me, jest back of where that deer stood ther bullet had ‘knocked er hole in that tree as big as yer fist, an’ out of that hole er regular stream of honey wuz flowin’! That good honey wuz goin’ to waste dum fast, an’ I hadn't nary er thing 'to stop it. Jest then er rabbit jump- ed out of er hole I hadn't noticed, an’ I grabbed him by ther hind legs jest as he wuz leapin’. 1 wuz goin’ to stuff {him in ther hole when er flock of quail flew up on ther other side of ther tree. They wuz goin’ straightaway, jan’ there wuz more 'n 10,000 of ‘em. {Ther ole muzzle loader wuzn't loaded, an’ them quall wuz gettin’ away fast. I wanted some of ‘em bad, so 1 jest let go that ole rabbi right in ther mid- dle of ‘em, an’ the way he kicked an’ clawed as he wuz goin’ through ther air wuz a caution. He landed right on top of ther whole bunch, an’ when | got over there seventeen of 'em wuz dead on ther ground-—yes, gir, jest seventeen of ‘em! An’ ther shock had killed ther rabbit too. He I stuck his head wuz all smashed up. dn ther hole to stop ther honey till 1 could go home fer sum barrels, “I hitched up ther ole gray mare to ther sled an’ went back. 1 chopped that there ole tree down, an’ there wuz | honey enouzh to fill all my barrels. ‘Well, I slung ther deer an’ ther fish an’ ther rabbit an’ ther quail on ther sled an’ started home. It wuz some load fer ther ole mare, an’ 1 walked at her head, kinder coaxin’ her along. 1 wuzn't payin’ any attention to ther load, an’, by gum, when we got up to’ “ther house there wuz that there load way back in ther middle of ther river. Of course 1 knowed what wuz ther matter. That ole groundhog harness had got wet an’ jest stretched, 1 wuz kind of hungry, so I jest throwed ther harness over a stump an’ went into dinner, sun had dried ther harness an’ ther load wuz just pullin’ up to ther stump. i That wuz some hunt. Yer don't get nothin’ like that nowadays, I tell ye. Them wuz good old days! “An’, speakin’ of ther ole gray mare, she was ther willin'est mare that ever wuz. She'd pull anything yer hitched her to. I tried her, an’ she pulled ev- erything., One day I sez to myself, ‘By gum, I'll give yer er load yer can't pull,’ an’ I hitched her to er stone hoat loaded with all ther bowlders in ther county. She got right down an’ pulled an’ pulled an’ pulled, but ther load didn’t budge. I heard er little crack, but for er minute I didn't suspicion anything, an’ before I noticed that ther skin on her face had eracked it wuz too late. I yelled at her to stop, but she wuz so dum mad she kept right on pullin’, an’ s'help me, before 1 could stop her she'd pulled herself clean out of her skin! I didn't want to lose that there mare, an' I got busy an’ did er little skin graftin® fer myself. I had some fresh sheep peli, an’ 1 sewed them on us fast as [ could sew. Well, sir, them pelts took root fine. They growed on that there ole mare jest like they'd always been there, an’ ther next season I sheared jest 375 pounds of wool off'n her. She wuz er good ole mare, I tell ye, an’ every year 1 got 370 pounds of wool so long as she lived. Yes, sir; it wus always jest 375 pounds.

A Deadly insult. “Do you like my new hat? asked ‘Mrs. Brooke. “Yes, indevd,” ieplied Mrs. Lyan. “I had one just like it when they were ‘in style.”—Lippincott’s Magazine, A Relief. “Johnny,” said the boy's mother, “1 hope you have been a nice. quiet boy at school this afternoon.” “That's what I was.” answered John- ny. “I went to sleep right after din- ner, and the teacher said she'd whip any boy in the room who waked me up.” Boston Post. When I cum out again ther | Ruse by Which He Escaped Arrest and Had His Debts Paid. Many amusing stories are told of Joe Haines, a comedian of the time of Charles IL, sometimes called “Count” Haines. It is said that he was arrest- ed one morning by two bailiffs for a debt of £20, when he saw a bishop to whom he was related passing along in his coach. With ready resource he im- mediately saw a loophole for escape, and, turning to the men, he said, “Let me speak te his lordship, to whom I am well known, and he will pay the debt and your charges into the bar- gain,” The bailiffs thought they might ven- ture this, as they were within two or three yards of the coach, and acceded to the request. Joe boldly advanced and took off his hat to the bishop. His lordship ordered the coach to stop, when Joe whispered to the divine that the two men were suffering from such scruples of conscience that he feared they would hang themselves, suggest- ing that his lordship should invite them to his house and promise to sat- isfy them. The bishop agreed, and, calling to the bailiffs, he said, “You two wen come to nie (OMOrrow morn- ing, and I will satisfy you!" The men bowed and went away pleased, and carly the next day wait- ed on his lordship, who, when they were ushered in, said, “Well, my men, what are these scruples of con- science?’ “Seruples?” replied oue of them, “We have no scruples! We are bai- lifts, my lod, who yesterday arrested your cousin, Jee Haines, for a debt of £20, and your lordship kindly promised to satisfy us.” The trick was strange, but the re- sult was stranger, for his lordship, either appreciating its cleverness or considering himself bound by the promise he had unintentionally given, there and then settled with the men in full. His Decision In a Case of a Woman With Two Husbands. | There was a Chinese judge named C Wang, who was as wise as Solomon. Before Wary two men and a woman appeared. man's first husband, Younger unin, who refused to give her | up; hence all three eame before Wang that he mizht decide this truly difficult case, “Yang KL" said the judge to the wo- man, “which of these two men made the better husband?” “Both were perfect husbands, my lord judge.” Yang Ki modestly replied. So the judge told the men that he would keep the woman by him for a week, examining her thoroughly, and {a week hence he would decide the case. Well, the week passed, and the two husbands came once more hefore the judge. He shook his head gravely and said to them: ' “The woman, Yang Ki, has died. | There is no case. Let her original hus- { band take the body away from my ! house and pay for the burial.” “Ho, not I!" said the original hus- { band. And, so saying, he darted from | the court and was soon lost to view. | “You, then,” said the judge to the | other man, “must stand these burial | expenses,” “Yes,” the man answered, “that is Just, and I will give this woman, who was good and kind, the finest burial my purse will ailow."” The judge clapped his hands. Yang KL blushing aud smiling, entered the | courtreom in a rich dress of gold bro- cade. “Take her,” said the wise judge, “for you and net the other merit her love and service” How the Rash Comes.

There are two Kinds of politeness, politeness to yourself and politeness to others, When you come howe late at night. for example. even If you are very tired, always remove you hat and coat before getting into bed. It is little attentions like this that constitute you a gentleman. At the same time, do not disturb your wife if you can pos- sibly avoid it.
