Mr. SnotMlle is au inveterate smoker, and has a most rejirehensible hahit of snioking in lied, hut Mrs. fsnissllc, though she allows him to smoke any where elsi-, very properly for'niiis him to imlulfro in such a ilantrerous practice- However, as Mrs, SiKHKlleis a remark ably souiiil sleeper, Mr. SniKxlle fre- liietitly manafres to enjoy a fewst.ilen whills. One night when in latl Mr. SniaHlIe had an irresistible desire for a pil', wiiieh lie in vain endeavored to itnn Utt. His wife Mas fast asleep, so he autiously stretched out his hand for his pijie, which lay tin a table by the i.il-side. Then with equal caution he fill.nl it, lighted up and was puffing away with intense relish when Mrs. Sniaxlle turned over and gave two or three snorts. "I U lieve she's going to wake up," thought Mr. Snoodle, and hastily took lis pipe from his mouth and placed it ou the table. Mrs. Snoudle gavea few more snorts and woke up. Then she gave a series of sniffs, and Mr. Snoodle trembled, for the niii was pn-giiant with toliaeeo smoke. "John are you smoking?" asked his wife, sternlv. 'Certainly not, my dear. Whatever makes you think so?' he innocently "ui;uiri-d. "Ht-ause Tcansnidl t.b.He-o," ulied. "Phew, how i.triiig it she Is! Don't you smell it John?" Can't say I do, Martha. I've got a lit of a cold." Opi-n your eyes, man, and then you will," snapped Mrs. Snoodle. 'I don't smell with my eyes," gig gled Mr. SiKKslle. "What I mean is wake up properly and sniff hariL Now, can't you smell it?" 'Well er I think there is a faint odor of tobacco," admitted the culprit. "Think faint odor ! Why, the plat recks with it! I tell you what it is, John, there's somelwaly smoking in the house," declared his wife. '1 you think Jane indulges in a pipe ou the fcly?" suggested Mr. Snoo dle. "Xonsense !" "Well, my dear, the only other liv ing thing in the home is the eat, and I never heard of eats smoking." "Don't talk rubbish, John. It's a H.-rious matter, its inv uriii neiiei tliere's a Imrglar smoking in the house, and Mrs. Snoodle shivered. 'Ah, very likely," replied Mr. Snoo dle, thankful for his lucky eseaie and prejuiring to go to sleep again. "John, are you going to sleep and let the house la; runsacked ?" askel his wife indignantly. "Certainly not, my d. ar. "Then why don't you go down stairs and catch the burglar?" Mr. Sai mh He very reluctantly got out of lied, sleeiily lighted a candle, and lil.-ivcd toward the door. "Aren't you going to take some weap on of defense?" asked his wife. "!. you want to Ik1 killed? I never saw such a man !" Mr. Snoodle rather sulkily seized the Kiker and muttered that if he found a burglar he'd make it smoking hot for hint. He had gotten half way down stairs and was thinking of anything but burg lars when he suddenly saw a man dart out of the dining-naim and bolt down the k iteheii stairs. Mr. Snoodle's first impulse was in stant flight, for he was an arrant cow ard, hut lie was so astounded and i-tri- fieil with fear that he was utterly una ble to cither move or siK-ak. He simply stood still, holding the candle ncarlv upside down, with his mouth wide ojh-ii. Then he heard the lsaek door Iwng an.l knew that the liurglar was gone, so he thouirht it was aUtut time for ac tion and to earn a little cheap glory. So he roared out : "You villiatts ! I'll murder you! I'll scalp you as clean as a whistle V and rushed down stairs. He had never U-fore felt so heroic in his life. He bound into the dining-naim and fought fiercely with the furniture, especially the fender, as he could Imng into that without injur ing it much, until he w as quite exhaust ed. "John, John, come up stair ;" cream ed Mrs. Sniaxlle. killed?" 'You will surely l "It's all right, back Mr. Snoodle. "Have you got Martlia?" shouted the rascal safely bound?" "No. thev got away. Hut I've near ly killed them !" "Thank Imren! Come up stairs and let me dress your wouiuls, dear," said Mrs. Snoodle solicitously. Mr. Snoodle, after securing thelia -k dHr, which the servant had omitted to lock, and undoing the bundle of plate, that the burglar had k it behin 1 ESTABLISHED 1827. in his hurry to escape, went up stairs. "Oh, John," exclaimed Mrs. Sams die, on la-holding him, "then you're not dead?" "No, dear," he said, mopping his brow. "Hut it was a terrible right." "I'm sure it was. I never heard such an aw ful row. Did they take any thing?" "Only their hook," grinned Mr. SnotMlle. "I was just in time to pre vent them carrying off the lest part of our plate. It was all tied up ready. That idiot of a Jane forgot to lock the backdoor. I will give it to her in the morning!" "The careless girl ! How many burg lars were there, John?" "Two. One great fellow over six feet, and another bigger, if anything, but I caught one a crack on the head that I must have pretty well smashed it, and I'm sure I've broken the other one's leg." "Then I wonder he could run away;" remarked his wife. "He doesn't rail with his anus," Martha." "No, hut you said you'd broken his leg, John." "Oh, I meant arm." "I suppose the place is covered with blots!?" iuerried Mrs. Snn-dle. "No, they took that away with them I mean they ran away so ijuickly that I don't think it had time to drop." "I'm glad of that. I hope you haven't got any internal injuries, John?" ask ed Mrs. Snoodle anxiously. "Well, dear," he laughed, " I have a strange empty feeling ala.ut my stom ache, but I dare say a little whisky and water will put that all right." "John," exclaimed his wife, gazing at him admiringly, "I never felt so proud of you as I do at this monietiL Fancy you tackling two great burglars and putting them to flight without get ting a scratch yourself! I always thought you were rather a coward. Forgive me, darling, for having though so, for now I know you are the bravest of the brave !" "I don't know alaiut that, Martha, but I think I have my share of cour age," said Mr. Snoodle, modestly. "You're a is-rfect. hero!" exclaimed. Mrs. SiMawile enthusiastically. "Would you not like a pije, dearest? You have not had a smoke since supa-r time, and I'm sure you deserve one after your terrible exertions. As you know, John, I never object to your smoking any where except in lied. That I will not allow." (fuite right, Martha. There's no telling what such a practice might lead to," remarked Mr. SiicnmIIc, thought fully lighting his pipe. "Fancy, John," said Mrs. Snoodle, "fancy me smelling those burglars smoking ! What impudence they have got! However, if I hadn't snielled the smoke, we shouldn't have discov- red the burglars. So we may say our proja-rty was saved by a pij', may we not?" "We may indeed, Martha," replied Mr. SnotMlle, aud he meant it. Ao.i Tit bit. A Hitch All 'Rouni The gander-legged young man in a sky-blue necktie came hurriedly into the Soiiire's office and laid a legal liMtuiielit la-fore that lotclltate. "Is that jiaja-r negotiable in this market ?" he inquired anxiously. The Soiiire looked itvcr it long enough to determine in his own mind that it was a marriage liiviise. 'I siipKMc it Is," replied the Squire, "lsit it cannot ! validated, so to sia-ak, unless the party of the second part is present." "You- mean the gal?" asked the negotiator, more nervous than ln-fore. "I do." "She's all right ; she's outside in the wairou holdin' the h.isses." "You don't expect me to go out there to iH-rfurni the ceremony, do you? asked the Squire haughtily. "Have you got the power to fix the business?" inquired the young man, apparently of the bvlief that the Squire had to call in the police or a preacher or some it her functionary. "Certainly ; I've got all the parapher nalia right here, handy ; all I need is tin- girl." "And the whole calMMxlle would it t amount to shucks without her, would it?" asked the youth, with a smile as happy a it was sheepish. "Hardly." "Shake, old man," exclaimed the liomeo, extending his hand. "Slutke once for hick. I'll go right out and hitch the horses, aud fetch in the gal and you can hutch us. Here's fiJty cents to show you I mean business," and he hustled out to hitch the horses preparatory to the other hitching. Jh troif Fite IW. Wise Words. The birds do not sing by note.

Well, I should say not; I write it JULY 25, 1894. The Tartlet Were Fijhteri "In 140," said Deacon Seth Gregg, of old SteiiU-n, "I was crossing one of my father's fields tin my way to the Cohocton for a day's fishing for there were trout in those days. Hill Spiccr was with with me, and we came upon a couple of land turtles that were hav ing the ugliest kind of a scrap. I don't know what started the fight U-tween the turtles, but from what I know now it must have lavn something serious. The turtles bit and tumble.! and claw ed each other for a spell, and then Hill and I separated them ami put them a long distance ajiart. They turned as siam as they were down and came tow ard each either again as fast as they could, which was at the rate of alasit a mile an hour, but there was fire in hoth their eyes and when they got together they pitched in again as fierce as ever. We hadn't time to stay there and watch them, and so we went on and left them fighting. When we came back that way, late in the aftern.Min, there were those two turtles yet, fight ing as ugly as ever, and neither xle of them seemed to have the liestofit. Then we broke up the fight. I tik one of the turtles home with me and Hill t.M.k the other one home with him. I cut my name on the bottom of my turtle's shell, w ith the date, aud Hill cut his name and the date the same way tut his turtle. "My folks were getting ready aUsit then to move out to Illinois, 'and Hill's were going lck somewhere in Massa chusetts, where they came from. When we went away I t.aik my turtle with me, just for the fun of the thing, and Hill tisik his along to Massachusetts. We settled out in Sangamon county, and Peter that was my turtle's name didn't seem to like it out there. Any way, he disappeared la-fore we had liecu there a week, and I cimldii't find him, high or low. We lived in Illi nois twenty years, and then, the old folks having died, I moved Imck to old Steulieu, laiught the farm we moved off of in 140, and have lived there ever since. Of course I forgot all alanit Peter, the turtle, fifty years ago or more. "One day last week I was going over my farm, and not more than three rials from where Hill Spiccr and I surprised the turtles at their scrapping match fifty-four years ago last spring, I came on to two turtles having it out with one another in exactly the same way. It brought Intck the old days like a flash, and I lay down in the grass and watch is! the turtles fight for a quarter of an hour. Then 1 not up and took one of them by the tail and turned him over on his back. His under shell was cut and carved like a la-ech tree in a coun try schiail-hou.se yard. I went on de ciphering tla carvings, when the first one I liaiked at nearly made me drop in my tracks. And giaal reason. There it was plain as day : "Seth Gregg, 1S40 !" The very turtle I had caught more than half a century ago, and which had gt away from me three mouths later, 'way out in Illinois ! "As soon as I could get over iny sur prise and wonder I licgau scanning the other inscriptions tin the turtle. They dated all the way from 14 down to ls;2, and the names of places carved now anil then showed in chronological order that old Peter w as steadily and unswervingly traveling East. "All the time I was examining IVter the tit her turtle st.aal ou guard, glaring at Peter, and evidently impatient to re sume the tight So I put Peter down and picked up the other one. I kliow you will UTicve me when I say that my first sight at the under shell of this tur tle actually sent me to the grass. It had carvings, too, and the very first one was V. Spi.vr, ls40.' And there were carvings on Hill's turtle showing that he had liceu as unswervingly head ed West during the iat fifty-four years, as my turtle had liecn jMiinteil East. Had these turtles Ixvn governed by some mysterious instinct that drew them Imck to the old home for love of it, or had they Ikvii nursing undying animosity toward each other for half a century and traveled liack with the hois? of wreaking vengeance each on his foe? From the way they glared at each other and waited for a new chance to get even, I maik- up iny mind that the turtles had journeyed all those years toward the old home simply with the intention of having that fight out, and an I trot un and left them by them selves. Two days afterward I went that wav again. The turtles lay in a ditch. Peter had his jaws fat on Hill's turtle's throat and Hill's had Peter foul in the tender stmt under the left shoulder. Hrth were dead. I liuricd them rigid w here they lay, and it sad dened me to know that any living thing could carry hate so long and so far." Care of Shoes.

"Every man in his own magnet" is the proMisitioii recently evolved by a Washington jeweler of many year's ex jierience. P. F. Schmitt has a shop in Eleventh street, near the avenue, an.l there, in a little old-fashioned brick house, one of the architectural relies of the city, he runs a hospital for disabled timepiects of all sorts, with the wants of his institution full most of the time. Here, through the experience of many years, lie lias discovered a mystic ImhhI la-twixt the watch and its owner that few have susja.fteL "It is all dependent on the animal magnetism of the owner, whether or not his watch will run fust or slow," said the jeweler when explaining his theory to the iostmaii. The same watch will run at different sjattls when carried by different ja-rsons and no IH-rsou is likely to put a watch on and have it keep satisfactory time without returning once or twice to the jeweler to have the regulator touched to get the system of it keyed up to the same pitch as that of its owner. "Now, I used to have a friend w ho had an excellent Swiss watch, w hile I had one of another make. Hy mutual consent at one time we exchanged watches, and, th.High they had gone all right lie fore, they then changed their gait entirely, mine running five miutitesahead in a couple of days and his running five minutes ls-liiiid. There was ten minutes difference in our temperaments. Hut that is noth ing compared to the difference ln-twcvn some people. Sometimes a watch that will run well on one man w ilt imt go with another, and there are some !. pie who cannot get a watch that will run ou them at all. "I remeiiila-r a giaal many years ago I had a man come to my place with an old-fash iotie. I English lever silver watch to lie repaired. I had some very nice gold watches in st.a-k at the time, and as he liaiked well off I tried to sell him one, hut he laughed and said if any of the gold watches I had in the store would mn twenty-four hours in his pocket he would give me twice what I asked fur it. He said he had tried all sorts of gold watches and had never Ui'il able t get one that would run while he had it. He had exM-ri-inelited with his brother's watch only a little while before, he said, and it cost him .-l.-r)0 to have it demagnetized after he had carried it in his Ma-kct two days. M.ist silver watches acted the same way with him, but the old English watch he was carrying had a louble inside ease to it and worked fairlv well. "I've never liecn able to tell whether the average watch will run faster when it is in its owner's possession or not. There seems to be no rule on the s'.ils- ject, but I can never regulate a watch on my swiugUianl there and then give it to a customer and have it kit-p go.-! time. 1 hen there is a variation witu a haiige in vitality. A watch will or dinarily run slower the longer it is car ried after cleaning, Uvause the oil tlries and the la-arings are harder, but I liave had customers come to in,; and say tliat their watches had started up am! gone to gaining tini.' several months after they had Ikvii cleaned. I just tell them tliat I can't a; c uiit for it except on the theory of a change in their own vitality or temperament. It's one of those tilings tliat cannot lie explained, but it is true nevertheless!" 5o Joking- With an Indian. 'It is dangenms to joke with an Indian," said Henry 1. Purvis of aula Fe, who was at Hurst's yestcr- iLuv. "Hissciiseof humor is so dull that he is apt to think himself insiilt.il when he Ls merely W-ing made the Witt of a joke. Several years ago I came very near getting into a serious difficul ty for trying to have a little fun at the expense of a certain chief. At that time I was clerk at thesupply store of the reservation in Southern Colorado. Life was very dull out there and one day, when a chief, accompanied by alrout twenty warriors tame to the p.ist, I thought I would get up a little b ixiif' match jast to break the mo ll itoiiy. I had a pair of boxing glov and after cxplainiug their use to the chief, asked him to put them ou with inc. Heat once agreed and we two went into a vacant nairn in the rear of the store just to spar a few rounds for ii lints. It seems that the Indian had a not fully underst.KMl my explanation in reganl to the use of the gloves. After adjusting the gloves I told him how to stand and guard him-n-lf.

All at once I struck out with my rigid, and, catching Mr. Chief under the ear, lauded him in a heali on the fl.air. That was enough for him. Springing to his feet, he tore the gloves fnm his hands and, jerking his knife fnm his belt, he made for me to wipe out what he coiisi.lensl an irreiwrable insult. Taking in the situation in a moment, I whipped out my revolver and, leveling it at his head, I told him if he moved another step I would blow his brains out He liaulted, and I proecded to explain to to him how it all came alaujt, and that no otfeii.se was meant He was loath to W lieve it, however, and it t.a.k him some time to cool down.

It i said that Tiiompkins, the cele brated writing master of St. Paul s school in Ignition, was the vainest of ill iK'itmen. Through life he dreamed that penmanship wari one of the fine arts, am! that a writing master should W- seated with his x.vrs ill the academy.

When Thoiiipk'ms applied to have his Inist made, the gnat sculptor generous ly abate! something from his usual price, and considerate of the feelings of the writing master treated him as a brother artist. This was undoubtedly the proudest day ia Tiiompkins' life. An euc'ieut artist and wit, looking at this fine bust of Tompkins, once exclaim si, "And this ma: died for want of a dinner !" Which remark wa in a measure true. Tiie p.-iini in had long felt that he stiaxl degraded ill the scale of genius by not W-ing revived at the academy, at hast in the class of engravers. The next approach to academic honors he conceived would W that of appearing as a guest at tic annual dinner. Hut unfortunately the academy a-rsistcd in considering Tiiompkins a a writing master, and in spile of so many strata gems and remonstrances he never received oil.' of the c tveted invitation. The vain man never ceased to de plore the failure of hi hopes and al lowed the disappointment to prey upon hi spirit until it affected hi health. In spite of every tiling, the luckless colligraphi-r died without having dined at the academy.

Cri'ii-'ii clover isan annual, ti e s.ssl W-ing sown in Aug. or even as lale as Sept. and the cmp moved ill May or June. The advantage of this Ls that w hile the red clover must lie scciled dow n early in the sprinir, and tin cer tain plots of gnHind, the crimson vari ety may W seeded on nearly al! kind of soils and on wheat, com, rye, r oats land after the grain cmp has Wvn remove. L It aLso give a surer "catch," and may be res.-e.led should the plants be thin, and as it starts off early in the spring it may la; mowed an.l gotten out of the way early for another cmp of s ine kind. Crimson clover, though W-longing to the legumes Ls W-tt.-r adapted to light soils than is the red. While it gives the le-t results on rich land, and es pecially on well prepared soil, yet this season lias demon strafed that it will grew almost anywhere unless in pure white sand, but on light, sandy soil that has Wvn limed, or given an appli cation of wo.nl ashes it has pnalu.vd emps where a growth of red clover would Ire impossible. It pmduee from one to three tons of hay jar acre, ae coniing to the soil, and oil rich laud even more. Fmm 10 to l. quarts of seed per acre may W' sown and it is ad visable to Use plenty of seed.

While thriving W-st if sow n ou prepared land, yet crops were grown this year on land that was in corn la-t year, the crimson turned under, and the laud put in com or potatoes this year. It is a "nitrogen gatherer," and serves to enrich the soil. The land that have Wvn devoted to peach or chards w hich have Wvn injunsl are W ing sown in crimson clover, and cattle, sheep and hogs are retiving attention in sections that formerly were not prof itable stock farms. The gntttest advan tage of crimson clover is that it will produce a cmp of green manure in tim to lie turned under for corn or the h ty may W- secured and the stubble plowed under.
