Making a Bolt i-or It.
The monotony of crime in the pu
lice stations is relieved ofteuer than
Is generally supposed by an infusion
of unexpected humor. This happy fac¬
ulty of tickling the magistrate’s sense
of humor won a prisoner in a police
station his liberty the other day.
The prisoner had told the magistrate
that he was a locksmith by trade, and
the magistrate asked:
“Well, were you on business in this
gambling house at 2 o’clock in the
morning?”
“Yes, your honor,” replied the pris¬
oner calmly. “I was making a bolt for
the door.”
W it liin the past few days I have moved my immense stock of merchandise
to the store room formerly occupied by the Bank of Newton County, and
have everything straightened out and in first-class condition. This was
done in order to make some improvements in my old stand on the corner,
where l am making preparations for the best mercantile establishment in
the city. In moving my goods l find that I have got just stacks of first
grade goods in Mens Suits, Dress Goods, Hats, Shoes, Notions, and in fact
throughout the entire line. You know Cohen’s motto is to never carry
over goods for the next season, and in order to get rid of these excellent
values and keep from having to return them to the corner i am goiim to

pose to sell them, and you know wlmt Cohen means when he decides to
get rid of a stock of goods—You get the benefit of his close buying and
some of the cost too. These prices will prevail for a short time'only and
it w ill he very interesting to you financially, if you will come at once and
look over these immense values.

When Comets Terrified.
To Evelyn a comet was a very ter¬
rifying phenomenon. He notes the ap¬
pearance of one on Jan. 12, 1080,
which he describes in his diary as “a
meteor of an obscure bright color,
very much lu shape like the blade of
a sword.” “What this may portend,”
he adds, “God only knows, but such
another phenomenon 1 remember to
have seen in 1040 about the triall of
tbjj greate earle of Strafford, preced¬
ing our bloudy rebellion. 1 pray God
avert Ids judgements.”
“The most considerate wife I ever
heard of,” said the philosopher, “was
a woman who used to date all her let¬
ters n week or so ahead to allow her
husband time to post them.”
A Hazy Term Defined.

Quick Wit.
In the days when Rowley Hill was
bishop of the Isle of Man one of his
clergymen, bearing the name of Tears,
came to say adieu to his bishop on
getting preferment.
The parson said: "Goodby, my lord!
I hope we may meet again, but if not
here in some better place.”
The bishop replied, “I fear the latter
Is unlikely, as there are no Tears in
heaven.”
“No doubt.” wittily answered the
parson, “you are right that our
chance of meeting Is small, as one
reads of the plains of paradise, but
never of any Ilills there.”
A Bone.
“What son of an after dinner speak¬

“One of the kind who start in by
saying they didn’t expect to he called
on and then proceed to demonstrate
that they can’t be called off.”—Ex-
