Braun'a Stone Fence. A few j-ertr.;?o anJ old Dutchman named Eraun bought a quarter section just below niine. lie caoJ from I'enn fylvania, and was a bard worker and thrifty chap, as most all Pennsylvania Datchmen are. My farm ia fenced with barbed wire. The Dutchman didn't like wire fences, so in the spring he planted a willow heJge around his quarter section, gammer psed, and tlie tr igs was grow" ing iikea j'mscn weed, when early in the fall a little blick cloud which bad been hanging around over in the nortii wertall tne afternoon enddenly swoeped down our way and went rippin and tear in across Ilraan'a jiLu-ii. It didnt leave a dozen hedge plaints etandia. Then the old man concluded that a fence which would stand agin a hard wind would be the cheapest in the long run, and by the m.ddie of October he had built a stout rail fence to replace the hedge. It as a beauty seven rails higb, with locked corners and a heavy j "rider" on every length. But e bad hardly time to look over the old man's handiwork and pronounce it good be fore a blizr-iri Btrock it and scattered the rails over several neiiiluricg townships. IUtner reluctantly B:aun then decided to fjllow my example and fence his place with barb wire. He pat in place of the rail fence that was t wire fence h:ch could scarcely be beaten. It had large, sawed po6ts and five heavy wires, and should have lasted a lifetime. It might have done so, perhaps, but for an unfor tunate occurrence. One afternoon early ia November another blizzard canie saun tering along, pulled up every blaaied fence post, carefully wrapped a fw mile of wire around them and tailed off tow ard Chicago with the whole outfit. V.'bea the hedge was destroyed the old Dutchman merely sighed ; when the rail fonce went he said something half under his breadth ; when the wire fence fol lowed it he swore. Then he sat down, lighted his pipe and fell into a brown etudj . Bright and early the next morning he began another fence. It was eomathin entirely new for our country, but it was a dandy and no mistake. The old man set his hired hands to work pickin up stones and hsulin bowlders together and in a few weeks he had collected enough of 'em to build a rtone wall. It was as Btrong as r.or.e and cement could make it and was four feet wide and three feet high. One afternoon just after it was completed, Braun was pointin out-to me the fine points of his new wall, wtieu we noticed a black cloud over agin the west ern horizon. "There's trouble over thar, old man," said I. "That blamed thing is jet roilm up its sleeves ami spittin on its hands and irettin ready fur business. It'll be along here, too, in about two minutes," "Veil, let it coom." Then as there wasn't anythin else to do, we sa- down to watch it. It came zippia along, taistia off trees close totnc ground or pul'.ia 'em by tne root., cuttin the prairie grasps as clean as a mower could have dote it and fctveepin a clean path. When it reached that wail it just ' stopped a moiscni as if to look it over, and I could swear 1 heir! a chuckle. Then it stopped and caught hold of the edge of the masonry. It held together well but up it came, plow ly and steadily. Jest when the wall had leen turned half over the blizzard suddenly gave a groan lost its grip and loosened its bold. The wall settled down upon iu side and the blizzard jumped over it and went how l in out of sight. "Veil r said Braun jubilantly. "Vot I Jold you. Dot fence is a dandy, don't it? It is von feet higher now as pefore dot vind coom along." And he winked the other eye. Ouctgo .Y . Couldn't Take a Joke. The early riser was out watering his grass when the funny man came along and stepped on the hose. The early riser turned around to see w liat had shut off the w ater so suddenly end the funny man laughed at him. "iet off that hose exclaimed the carly riser. "Oh, don't mind me," said the funny man. tio on and water your grass." Then he noticed that the nozzle was carelessly pointed in his direction. "Here.' I'oint that the other way.'" he cried. The early riser glanced dow n at the nozzle and his face lit np with pleasure. "Amusing to 6hut off a man's water, isn't it 7" he asked. "But, my dear sir," expostulated the fanny man, "I didn't" "It's intensely funny," said the early riser ; "you'd better get off that hose." "But I can't," said the funny man. "Don't you see the nozzle's pointed right at me, and if I do " "Ob, well, I'm in no hurry," interrupt ed the early riser. "If you enjoy it I don't know that I have any reas m to ob ject." He sat down on the railing surround ing his grass plat and rested the nozzle on his knee, still keeping it pointed tow ard the funny man. "I say," sid the latter, "if yoa turn that the other way I'll get ofl." h, I wouldn't put you to so much trouble," said the early riser. Tnjoy yourself." The early riser held the nozzle between Lis knees while he took out a cigar and lit it. The funny man w atched him for i a moment. Then he said : ".See here, old man, my log's getting ! (T" atiff. "Why don't you shift legs?" aked the early riser, disinlerestly. The funny man tried it, made a slip, and the stream almost reached him be fore he coold get his foot on the hose again. The early riser chuckled. "Say, I'll break your head?" cried the funny man, excitedly. "All right," reiuraed the early riser, carelessly. "But be careful or yoa may slip off the hose again." The funny man glared at the early riser a moment and then said : "If I were as mean as yoa are I'd go into the pawnbrokers' business." "If I were as funny as yoa are." said the early riser, as he leisurely puffed his cigar, "I'd hi out to a bur'.esice com pany." The fancy man tried to walk along the hose to get further away from tbe nozzle, bat the water spurted out a little with nch eetp, and he stopped. Then he got desperate, 6tepped off and started to run The stream caught him in the middle of the back. Whtnhe got out of range he turned and shook his fist at the impassive early riser and made some terrible threats. And the early rir muttered a he be gan watering the grass again : "Funny that a funny man can't take a joke on himself." Oticn-jo Trlbunr.

A man who had only a few hundred dollars left out of a fortoDe called one day at a banking house and asked to the manairpr, who was a man of con servative mind and fully acquainted with the bed and most profitable invest ments. Throwing down his roll cf bsnkaotfs he said : 'Invest this for me. Use your pleasure with it . I'm going tf the coun try for the remainder of the summer. I will leave my address witk yon, and you can let me know what yoa do with it." The man walked out and was not wen again for many morths. His money was judiciously invested on his carte bhmcbe order and begun to accamahite. The ho.H3 Uuiy informed him, occordingto its business methods, of his good luck, but n.-.thing was heard from him person ally fir some ti'ue. Some otoliths afterwards he presented himself at the tanking boose, rosy health beaming in his face, well dressed and portly. The manager failed to recognize hira at first, but when his memory was refreshed he recalled the circumstances of the caw. Now, this was an example of a man who more then doubled his giving by simply taking the advice of an ex perienced and reliable man. And this ia not a solitary case. It is one of many such that happens every day throughout the length and breadth of oar land. Henrv Claws in Ladies' Home Journal. Not All Consumptives. The gentleman is known the world over. It matters not to what nation he may belong, his gentlemany instincts will find expression in some way. The boor makes himself known on every oc casion without the formality of an intro duction. A thin, delicate-looking woman satin a horse-car one evening recently, and next ber sat a native of the queen's realm The window behind the Briton was open and the cool wind blew in on the wom an, making her shiver. At last she said in a ladylike way : "Won't you be kind enough to close the window behind you, aa it makes me cold?" It would hardly have caneed the man any inconvenience to grant this request but he replied harshly : 'I prefer it open ; yoa Americans can't jtand anything ; you all seem to have consumption." Tne other passengers in the car were astonibhed at this incivility, and there were many angry glances cast at the royal suljje.-t. Finally a gentleman rose on the ophite side of tbe car and, approaching the Englishman with about T20 pounds t avoirdupois, leaned over him and, grasp- ing the winJow, sUramed it down with ! vigor ; tbt n he remarked : "Suk, my friend, if you think all I Americans are atiiieted with consump tion, you just rais that window again. I am an American." 1 The little woman blushed, the other passengers siunej, toe American rcium- eJ to his t, ana the union iookcu out of the window and thought. Got the Bounce, Not the Girl. A banker, while talking to one of his clerks, said : "Arthur, a man never amounts to much in this life until he is married." " I thick so myself," the yoang man replied. " Glad you are ready to agree with me, Arthur, fori have taken quite a liking to you, How old are you ?" " Twenty-oue, sir." Plenty old to marry, Arthur, and I would advise you to begin looking around." " I have been looking around, and I have fjuud a young lady, and she has promised to be my w ife. " Good. I hope she ia worthy of you." " 1 think she ia, sir." " Glad you think so. Who is she, Ar thur?" " Your dacghter, sir." The young fellow does not work at the bank now." Artaiw Trnr.lrr.
