THE . ERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 1891. THEIR FIRST FUSS. A. Squatter's Pathetbtc Story of the Time He end HU Wife Quarreled. The squatter's cabin had grown to pretentious proportions during the forty years he had occupied it. The old man remajped unchanged except for the ef- fectJfa passing years. The crowd of youfk people that had collected at his house to spend the afternoon pressed biin to tell them a story of his early life in that region. After a little hesitation he began; “Lemme see. hit’s jist forty-fo’ year ergo 'at me on’ mer wife wuz maird an’ moved ter this country fur ter set up fer ourse’fs. We had er log cabin with on’y one room, an’ er shed fur ther stawk. I "worked powerful hard er clearin’ uv lan’ an’ er makin* er crap at ther same time. Wife oilers fetched mer dinner ter me, an’ she staid in ther fiel’ with me mo’n half her time. We wuz happy, ez happy ez ef we wuz rich. “One rnawnin’ we had er fuss. 1 dis- remember whut hit wuz erbont, but 1 went erway mad an’ ief her cryin’. At dinner time she nuver come. I ’lowed ter myse’f ’at she wuz mad, an’s* I, ‘Let her stay mad ef she wants ter.’ Bimeby I gits so hungry ’at I started fur ther house jist er bilin’. Wen 1 got thar ever’thing wuz thar ’ceptiu’ mer wife. Thar wuz raer dinner ready fur ter take ter me. but wife wuzn’ thar nnr thererbouis. 1 gits sheered an’ 1 calls her, but no answer. “Finely 1 seed ther dawg er cornin’. Ho axed mo fur ter foller him plain ez talk an* I done hit. He sot off fur ther creek an’ me er follerin’. Purty soon wo corned ter ther creek an’ he rnnned down ther bank an’ me arter him. Nex’ heared him bark, ‘Yore she is,’ jist ez plain. I runned whar he wuz an’ thar wuz wife er layin’ on ther groun’ pale an’ white ez er ghos’. She smiled when bho seed me an’ say. ‘I’m so glad yer come.’ • “Then she p’inted ter er grapevine full er grapes wlmt. wuz on er dead tree, an’ she say, s’,she, ‘I wuz er tryin’fur ter git yer them grapes fur yer dinner fur ter git yer in er good humor with me. Er . lim’ broke an’ I fell. Yer ain’t mad at me now,.air ye?* 1 felt like killin’ mer fool se’f fur ever bein’ mad at her. “Hit don’t matter whut I tol* her then, I toted her ter ther house, an’ nussed her twell she got well. I wouldn’ let nobody / do nothin’ fur her but me, an’ she ’peared like she nuver wanted no one to. Well, arter er while she got well, an’ we wuz happy ergin. That wuz ther on’y fuss we ever had. Sence then ef one shows signs er gittin’ mad ther yether says ‘grupes,’ an’ hit stops thar.”—Chicago Special Press Bureau. The Upturn to the Pipe. A Madisou street cigar man is author ity for the statement that the better class of smokers is returning to the pipe for comfort. This is not only shown by the demand-for such goods, but by the nov elties that are being gotten out by French factories as well as those in America. “There is no use of an Amorican shut ting his eyes to it. The’French still lead in everything that is novel and artistic, and we follow. Here is a French nov elty in the pipe line. It is a leather case. It contains four French sweet briar pipes. Yon see the variety of stems and mouthpieces. It reminds you maybe of a fine fishing tackle. Yon can have your stems long or short You can have ihcm straight or crooked. The artistic smoker doesn't confine himself to one pipe. “He takes one of these, for instance, and smokes it one evening with a long stem. He takes another the next even ing with a short stem, and so on. You will notice, too, that by a curious ar rangement these stems are so construct ed that it is impossible for the smallest particle of nicotine to reach the lips of the smoker. The outfit I show you costs $30. Then there are others that contain • fewer .pipes, and some contain but one with different stems.”—Chicago Tribune. ▲hat There whistles N< ▲ad down the tingling Treeing her cloud of tree Back on the twilight's A mile-a moment—and ij Kate, From years ami half a ykl •part But now vc’il smile at fat.*.

A “chemical lung” is the latest thing proposed for the ventilation of tunnels. It was lately tested in London by four teen scientists. A room In by 18 was kept for an.hour at a temperature of 82 (legs., and the air was loaded with impurities. The men of science were now called ui>on to enter, and the air was made still more impure by bunting | sulphur and carbonic acid gas. Then the “chemical lung.” or punkah, so called, measuring 4 by 2.0, was set in | motion. The temperature was soon reduced to •"> degs., and the air-freed from all Impurities. Then fat was burned, to l st the inuchiue for organic substances. I the “lung” was started up just in e to prevent the examining gentle- tn from running out for fresh air. It [proposed to use the invention during I construction of the channel.tunnel. Philadelphia Record. at Generals ami Newspaper Men. > Howard says that Gen.
