"I've got the very thing you want" said (he stableman to a rurallut in si-arch of a horse; "a thoroughgoing road horse. Five years old. sound as a quail. $175 cash dow n, nnd he goes ten miles without stopping." The purchaser threw bis bauds sky ward. "Not for me," he said; "not for me.

The small grandson of Governor Cummins of Iowa Is not permitted to eat doughnuts, but when visiting lu the kitchen of a neighboring relative the cook itreaented him with one of these delicacies, and bo nte It with ier feet enjoyment. All would have gone well had not an overpowering sense of bis obligations mastered the culprit Curious Investi gations were the natural outcome when he said bis usual prayer that night and then hesitantly added this brief but Incriminating petition: "And aud please bless Auut Cora's hired glrl."-Llpplneott's. Not What Ho Cams For. A small hoy was tlshing Sunday and accidentally tumbled Into the creek. As an old mnu on the bank whs help ing him out be said. "How did you come to fall In the river, my little many "I didn't come to full In the river. I came to fish." Ladles' Home Journal. An Optimiatio View. A farmer was anxious that his son should lieconie a niluister. and for this laudable end he sent blm to college for four years. To his great disappoint ment, the youtb balked at the ministry and set himself up as a horse trader. The old farmer told bis grief to a neighbor, who, however, took a more optimistic view. "Oh. I wouldu't feci tnidly about that." he said. "As a boss trader Bill will probably lead more men to re pentance than he ever would have as a preacher." Observing Regulations. A new luttionul guardsman was on sentry duty one night during his first encampment when a friend brought blm a pie from the cautovn. As he sat on the grass eating the pie the major sauntered up In undress. The sentry. not recognizing him. did not salute, aud the major stopied nnd said: "Y!:r.:'s that you have there?" Tic." said the sentry good uatured- ly. "Apple pie. Have a bit?" "Do you know who 1 am?" "No," said the sentry, "unless you're the major's groom." "Guess again." "The barber from the villager "No." "Maybe" here the sentry laughed 1 "maybe you're the major blmseirr ; "That's right. I am the major," wss i the stern reply. The sentry scrambled to bis feet 1 "Good gracious!" be exclaimed. ; Hold the pie, will you, while 1 present ! arms!" , i Hogs and Tims. A northerner riding through West Virginia came up with a mountaiueer j leisurely driving a herd of pigs. Yt here are you driving the pigs to?" asked the rider. i "Out to pasture to fatten 'em a bit" j "Isn't It pretty slow work to fatten them on grass? L'p wbere I came from we pen them up aud feed them on corn. It saves a lot of time." "Hell! What's time to a hawgr-Ev-ery body's. A Reference. A firm f shady outside London bro kers was prosecuted for swindling. In acquitting them the court, with great severity, said: "There Is not sufficient evidence to convict yon, but if any one wishes to know my oplulon of you I hope they will refer to me." Next day the firm's advertisement ap peared In every available medium with the following, well displayed: "liefer ence as to probity, by special permis sion, the lord chief justice of England." His Reformstisn. lie was rather given to late boars, and his wife remonstrated with him, m he promised ber faithfully that be would reform. It would have been all light If Ida friends bad not beard of It "So John II. has- reformed, bat be? Iluaipb, well see." They "saw" blm in procession. First lie "met one old chum, then another, and it never dawn ed uHn blm that is was a conspiracy. The first night that John II. reached home after he bad made that protnlso to bis wife It was very late, or. rather. It was very early. In fact, it was early morning, no took off his boots, man aged to hang bis bat up nnd walked softly Into the room where bis wife slumbered. So far all was good. lie divested himself of bis coat, and just as lie was banging It on the gas bracket bis wife woke up. "Why, John, ' she exclaimed, "what on earth are you getting up so early for?" This was a poser, but John was eiltinl to the occasion. "That's all right." ho said. "You know I've reformed. Mary, an tliere's bits of MopIe I've got to sec early In the mornln'." And lie deliberately put on his coat and boots, found his lint nnd went out again, while Mrs. II. turned over, with a fiendish chuckle, and went to steep. Lova. Think what It Is not to hate any thing but sin, to be full of lovo to every creature, to lie n tigered at noth ing, to be sure that all things will turn to pood, not to mind pain because It Is our Father's will, to know that noth ingno, not If the earth was to be burnt up or the waters come and drown us nothing could part us from God, who loves us and who fills our souls with peace and Joy, liecause we are sure that whatever he wills Is holy, just aud good. George Eliot The Drawback. Iteardman was a writer of plays, ultimately fairly well known In bis day. For nearly twenty years he struggled and fought his way along without meeting with any very pro nounced success, each play in turn proving more or less of a failure. At last, however, be produced a play that really caught the public taste. He and the famous Sheridan hnpcncd to be present together on the oculng night All went well. Success followed suc cess, and applause greeted and ended each scene. At the end of the second act nenrdman's elation got the better of bis discretion, and. leaning over to ward Sheridan as usual, too witty to be merely sympathetic he exclaimed: "Sherldnu. Sheridan, It's going to be a success, a complete success!" "Ah. yes," murmured Sheridan, with exquisite compusslon lu his voice, too bad. too bad:" "Too bad?" stammered bis friend, completely taken off bis guard. "Why, too bad that It should prove n success?" "Ifccnuse now," retorted Sheridan, "It'll take you another twenty years to couviuce any one you wrote it" Politely Put. The manager of a fashionable hotel received complaints from several of his best patrons that the occupant of a certain room on their floor kept-them nwuke nights wllh his liiccssuut and nlglit piercing snoring. The next day the manager sought out the objection able siiorer, who hapiened to be a singer of foreign reiiou u. and ac-, qnainted him with the situation. "Vut! I snore night?" exclaimed the; artist, brlstilng at this accusation. "Do you kuow who I am? I am Spltzler, the great German basso!" "'Veil, then." rejoined the hotel man-1 ager. "kindly refrain from singing nights!" Maintained His Point. Itoger Mluot Sherman while arguing1 a celebrated case said that his oppo nent could no more prove his point thun be could cut a hair lengthwise. I While he was still talking the nppo-1 nent, who hapciicd to have a very sharp knife, pulled a hair from hit ', beard nnd spilt it. As he held It up the, court Is'gun to laugh, ami Mr. Sher-' man quickly culled out "I n!d a hair, sir; not a bristle." Kvery grower of apples this year paying for the apple "splurge" of last fall and winter. In which extreme prices prevailed for anything that wss an apple and In which hundreds of fruit buyers and commission men were heavy losers or made entirely bank rupt On; Minneapolis buyer told us recently that apples were shipped to that :dnt from New Kngland states In the fall at a cort of $ !..'() per barrel laid down, were kept lu storage through the winter and after the col lapse along about April 1 were bought by the carload at f 1.25 per barrel. So many commission men got caught on this tlnmp that the thought or sight of in apple makes tbem sick, with the re sult that they are very timid this fall ind are making uo advances. Apples ire bringing but little more tban half what they did last year, and this la fsce of the fact that there seems to lie tittle more fruit In sight tban In 1007. This Anger burning has made buyers rautloua and will likely keep tbem so 'or a doaea years. Mara WsslH. "Merry Christmas, old man! And many more like It" The man Bddrcawed turns a baleful, sleepless eye upon the speaker and replies: "Many more like It! Kay. you hadn't beard that twi:is came to our bouse last night, bad you?" Judge. "Jraal t rlala.t Little Jessie woke up on Christmas morning and culled to ber four year old sister Msry: "Merry Cnrletmss!" "Jessie Christmas!" promptly answer ed the baby.
