ed a policeman that there was a row in &
certain house on lieaubicn street, aud the
officer went up there. . Hearing a racket
at he stood before the door, he opened it
without hesitation. A man and Lis wife
and a big girl were having a three banded
tight, but they let up as he looked in.
'What's the row V asked the officer

trying hard to smile. 'This is a new par

The officer went away and left tbetn to

Ho was unhappy. Tears rolled down
bis lrcsh, rosy checks as he sat leaning up
on his hands, which were clasp in front of
him. Xo light sorrow caused that look of
anguish upon bis fair youug face, latter
ly ho wept, but his tears seemed not to lift
the load of sonow from his heart. And as
he sobbed aloud and moaned , a kind old
tuau was passing, but sloped asked lh
t-ause of grief iu one so young and iunoccnt.
'My son, what tills thy little heart with
nuch trouble ? Hast thou lost thy mother,
or has thy Hither been taken from thte by
by grim death t Or have the tuigels waf
ted thy hltle sister to her heavenly hume ?'
Still he moaned and sighed while the tears
again filled bis eyes. 'What ails thoe, my
child ? What dost thou want ?' Then he
looked up. 'I I boo-hoo, I'vo got the
the beller ache, tha' that's wha what I
want, you ya'.ler haired old ole hyena,

sorrowfully as he pasted along.
.Sue Was Xot Afraid. Theodore
Tildou, in his lecture on the 'Problem of
life,' tells the story of the king who could
uot Iks made happy except by wearing a
happy man's shirt. ' ' When the happy maB
was found it was ascertained he wore no
fliirt,' This invariably creates a laugh,
tnd Theodore takes advantage of it by slid
tug iu the following bit of humor : 'Ladies
ud cntlmen 1 suspect from the merry
tumor you are in that many of you would
be airaid ot uubuttomng your vests.'
When Mr. Tilton got this off in Newark,
X. J., the other evening, a stout and tidy
looking Scotch woman in the gallery res
ponded : 'Devil a bit am I afraid, uion,'
nud then unfastening two buttons of her
drews in front, and disclosing the snowiest
frill ever blanched by the sun, she continu
ed : 'Here it is, tuon, seventeen border
linen, and my grandmither's ain spinnSn,
too !' Theodore passed on.
'Pa, arc you in favor of the Bible in pub
lic schools V asked a West Side youngster
at the breakfast table the other morning.
'Why, of course,, I am,' responded the
father, pleased that such ap important sub
ject should engage the attention of his
youthful offspring. 'What makes yon ask
such a question, my son ?' 'O nothing,'
rejoined young hopeful, 'only I thought
maybe you wasn't, as you never have had
one at home.' The urchin dodged, but be
wasn't quick enough.
'I CAME uear selling my boots the other

Well, I had them half-soled.'

At llawlings, W. T., a fellow stauding
on tbe depot platform of the Union Pacific
Itailroad accidentally shot of his rifle. The

the sensation thfe fellow looked at the washer-board
and said ; 'It's a d d smooth

'Sympathy,' says John Taul, 'is some
thing which I never withhold from those
in trouble, whether they happen to be
friends or not ; there's nothing mean about
rne. I find, too, that one can go around
shedding sympathy on all sides, for weeks
at a time, without spending a cent nr heme !

THE LIGHT RUNNING M DOMESTIC."
The "Domefttle.
The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedintly simple
machine in all Its part and processes. Il is
easily understood ; familiarity with Iu action is
very quickly acquired, and il needs hardly any
practice of s ' skill iu the operator.
Tbe superior advantages obtained is the "Do
atiSTic" are mainly :
1. Light Running.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wkeels.
3. Perfect Stitch Doublo-tbreftd Lock Stitch.
4. Durability a rlalng from rimplbUy of Con
struction. 5. Absence of all Friction,
fl. Great range of Work.
7. Eaee or Operation.
We do not say that the ''Domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and acknow
ledged merit ; but we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that tbe "Domestic" has many
excellences that render It (UcilJly titptrior ta
mny other Mthi now before tbe public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for her
self into its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase, uot to be care
lessly made ; one thai will Influence her com
fort, probably for a long lime. Witb a 4Domks

become a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
