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.

One Method of Making Money.
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.

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."

passengers siunej, toe American rcium-

" Twenty-oue, sir."
Plenty old to marry, Arthur, and I

for cleansing the hands, but it very often
leaves the skin rough, cracks come on
