Why He Threw Stone at tha Church.
.1
A gaunt man, with yellowish
beaad and hair thatjj looked like
hackled ilax, stood throwing
stones at a log meeting-house.
He seemed to be aiming his
missies at a small window, the
only one that lighted the house,
and had just thrown with en
couraging directries, a fragment
o flint, when.aiA "riding a
Tiorse drew rein and demanded
the cause of the bombardment.
"You jest jog along, now, and
let me 'tend to this, will you?"
"But why are you throwing
at the church?"
"Goon now, I tell you. This
js a fam'ly crfair. Tom Welch
hehastukmy darter Puss in
thai- to marry her, and the Ful
gums and the others have gone
in to help, specially that preacher,
whut I'm going to wimp the
fust time I keteji him out. I
skeered the old cu?s so Ife
wouldn't come over to my house,
so he 'suaded 'em to come out
here."
"Why do you object to your
daughter marrying?"
"Wouldn't object cf she wus
ter marry the right sorter man.
Bat Tom' so cussed mean."
"In what way is he wrong?"
"W'ydad blast him, he's the
man thatdriv whisky away from
Oa'c (irove tuk around a paper
an' hud it signed so the county
Jedo-e would let no mo' license
be issued. Tuck away from the
citivensof this here communi
ty the right uv goin' out to the
grove uv a Saturday evenin' an'
bavin' a little fun, that's what
he's done. Robbed the folks of
a privilege give to 'em by Wash
ington, ole Andy Jackson and
sich men, when, cad found him,
he knows I've got two barrels uv
wildcat that 1 made last Fall,
intendin' to pay oil a mortgage
on my place with it. That's
what he's done, and now, cad
found you. do you reckon I want
my daughter to marry a man
thai has worked agin me thater
way
-Well, but instead of throw
ing stones at the church, why
don't you go to him "
"Look here, do you reckor I
wanter go to a man that has done
whupped me three times ait'
stove in all my front teeth?
Ride on now, an' don't try A"
give me advice about my fam'ly
matters." Then finding a one
that suited his fancy, he added:
"Ret a ca'f I put this down in
the weddin' circle." Arkansaw
traveler.
No Credit Due Columbus.
The fact that this is a very
big country never strikes one so
forcibly as when he has traveled
2,000 miles due West and still
iinds the prairie stretching out
before him. A young sprig of
British nobility was over here
last, summer, accompanied by
the inevitable "Jeems." They
saw the seaboard cities, tarried
for a time in Tittsburp, in Chi-eao-o,
in St. Louis and in Kansas
city, and then struck out into
the M'eat West. Somewhere
near the edge of Colorado the
train was delayed at a small sta
tion, and the passengers got out
to stretch their legs, among
them his lordship and "Jeems,"
who seemed in a brown study.
"What is it?" asked his mas
ter. "I va3 just thinkin', me
hid," said Jeemcs, "that Colum
bus didn't do such a mighty big
thing when ?e discovered this
'ere country, hafter hall's ssid
and done. " 'Ow could 5e 'elp
it? It certainly something of an
obsticle in the way of navigation."
The Bad Boy's Plan to Lick the
Teacher Didn't seem to Work.
"Jos' a minute, if you please,"
said a man in "Western Nebras
ka, as he came out of the house
and hailed us as we
were going
past. "Did you happen to notice a
school house much when you
came past it down here a mile
and see anything of a big, raw
boned boy, with long arms an'
b'igiiantls, ' V5arin' U ' High felt
hat painted red, white an' blue?"
"Yes; we noticed him."
"Wa'nt he walkin' round
tnl kin' loud with his thumb un
der one gallons an' a chip on his
shoulder?"
"No. lie was sitting on the
ground near the school-house
with his back against a tree.
II is nose was all bloody, his
arms were hanging down and he
looked sick. His clothes were
about half torn oif of him, and
one of the small boys were carry
ing his striped hat full of water
to him from the creek."
"Weil, I sw'ar if that don't
beat me! Didn't holler no
slang at you or offer to fight
you ?"
"I don't think iic saw us at all
one eye was clcsed up."
"I expect nothin' s'prises me
now! I reckon the plan didn't
work."
"What was it?"
"W-y, that feller's my boy,
you see, an' he 'lowed to lick
that teacher this mornin' but I
reckon from what you say sonie
thim went wrong somewhere.
The teacner give him a longer
'rithmetic lesson than he cr:er,
an' says I to him, 'Hop onto the
little doo 1 an' whale him jis
show him that you understand
wliats the matter o' Hanner!
Bill said he'd do it, an' that I'd
better see the other two school
oft-cers an' git another teacher
somewhere, 'cause there wouldn't
be enough o' this un left to wad
a gun with when he got through
with him. He says 'Rap don't
be scart if you notice small pieces
of a school teacher fallin' 'iu:i 1
here 'Ion' dunn' the forenoon!"
One eye shet an' his nose bloody!
An' Bill abays claimed he was a
iiditer, too! I'll be tetotally
chawed if he ain't been trottin'
in the wrong class for two years.
When becomes home if I don't
bring out the old strap air larrup
him myself then yon may shoot
me. A black eye, an' nose all
bloody! Say, wait till half past
four o'clock an' you'll see a big,
lazy, double-fisted fraud of a boy
git pounded all to pieces by his
old father!" -Chicago Ti
Tribune.
Observation have been made
with tha great Lick telescope near
San Jose, and it is repotted that
already two stars heretofore un
known to astronomsrs have been
discovered. Speaking of the ic
sultof bis obst rvutiuns, Mr. F ra
zors lid: The grandest sight of
all to him wns the moon. It was
brought within 150 miles of the
earth, aud we could see the craters,
canyons, ravines, rocks and val
lejs with the greatest distictness,
just as though they were on a
checker-board. There was abso
lutely no sign of life nothing but
barren, white waste; everything
desolate.

A certain lady suspected that
her husband was kissing the
cook a pretty German girl, by

him in the act. After watching
