A MICIIItiAM 110 WAS WOOED
AND MARK LED IN AN HoLYI.
Thirty years ago Alichignn poo
pie were a frank—an.i truthful set,
strangers could come here and
Unde horses with their eyes shut,
and breach of promise cases were
unknown. F. lks meant what, they
siiid, and when they gave their
word sltick lo it.
lAactly thirty years ago this
month a widower from New York
appeared in Lansing on bnsiuess.
That same business carried him
over to DiAYitt, eight miles utvay.
While on the wnv he stopped at a
log farm house to warm his cold
lingers. Jin was warmly \velcom~
rd by the pioneer and his wife,both
of whom were well advanced in
years, and after some general taik
tho woman queried: K
‘Am I right in thinking you are a
w idower
'Yes/
Did you como out here to find a
wife ?
‘Portly ‘
‘Did anybody tell you of our
Susie ?*
‘No.‘
,Weil, we’ve got as bouncing a
girl of twenty .two as you ever set
eyes on. She's good -looking heal
thy, and good tempered, and 1
think k1h:‘I1 like your look.’
‘Where is she ?*
‘Over in the woods, there chop
ping down a coon tree. Hindi I
blow tbo horn for her ?-
‘No. if yon‘ll keep an eye un my
horse I‘ll find her. 1
‘AYell, there's nothing stuck n [
or nlTccleit about Susie. She‘ll say
yes or .m, na soon as she looks you
over. If you want her, ilou't be
alYaiil to snv so.‘
The stranger beard the sound of
ltcr axe and followed it. He found
lice just as the tree was i.-ady t:j
fall. Shu was a stout, goodslooking
gill, swinging the axe like a man,
and in two uiiuul.es ho had decided
to say;
‘Susie, I'm a widower from New
Yoil; State. I‘in thirty nine years
old, have one child, own a good
farm and 1 want a wife. Will you
go homo with me ?
■She leaned on the axe and ’(Hik
ed at .him for half a minute, and
then replied:
‘Can't say (or certain, -rust wait,
lid 1 get these coons oft my mind. 1
She sent llie tree crushing-to llie
earth, and with Ins help killed live
coons, which wore stowed away ia
n hollow.
‘Well, wlmt do you say f‘ lie said
as the last coon stopped kick
ing.
‘l'm yourn, was the reply,' ‘and
by .he time you get back from l)e
Wiu I'll have lhose pelts oil and
lacked up and be ready for the
I preacher !
lie relumed to the bouse, told
the old folks that he should bring a
preacher back wiih him, and at
dusk that evening the twain „ere
married. Hardly an hour had
been wasted in courting, and y< t
ho took home one of llie best gills
in the btato of Michigan
A Great Day For Fishing-
Did you have much luck, Uncle
Mose ? asked a gentleman ol an old
Galveston fisherman.
‘Nebber seed de like. It was all
day long jerk! up comes a live
pound rodfiish; jerk again, up
comes a seben-pound sliecphead.
It nebber stopped one second.
/fovv did you catch fish that fast
without stopping to bait your hook?
Come now, Mose.
‘Bait de hook ? All dom fish
was on de same hook. Dar was no
chance to bait do hook. De six
pound redfish swallowed do five
pound trout, and seben-pouud trout
just jobbled do six-pound redfish,
and I jest kept on until day was
about twenty fish on de hook, and
den 1 hauled ’em in and put on
fresh bait. Has yer eddied my
moanin'?—Galveston News.
President Grevy, of /’ranee, bus

His regular salary is $120,000 to

Pendleton for 1884, is now the Demo

; and attend to the practical concerns ot
the nation dfi Senator Jod Brown's plat

During the recent census taken

A Singular Asset.
I am a peaceable until, said the
intruder, grasping bis club with
both Ills hands, but if you don't
come down with $17.50 damages
for my lacerated tlio bom
bardment will begin at once.
The owner of the dog paid down
the money as he was afraid the
other folk >w might exasperate him
if he hit him with a club of that
size. T.ie owner of jjt.ho dog
also siihl i bat he was sorry the dog
had bitten tho intruder's son.
Why lie ain't my son, said the
intruder.
Whose s n is ho, t.lieu? asked
Ihe astonished owner of the dog,
ile is tho son ol a friend of mine
who owed me $17.10, but he is
poor, and tho only available assets
he has are these dog biles on his
body which he turned over to me
for collection.
Well, I'll be blovved.
Oh you needn't complain; you
are getting off dog cheap, I ought
to make you pay in advance for the
next tim i that boy is going to be
bit*—Galveston News.
Avery good story is told of a
young Indiana man who, on being
dismissed from one of tho depart
merits at Washington for some it-'
regularity, went to Chairman Jew
ell of the republican ,national com
mittee with a proposition to go to
Indiana and render assistance in
spotting eastern democratic repeat
ers, Mr Jewell gave him a SIOO
check. Tin young man raised tho
check to SI,OOO went to the demo
cratic national committee with tho
story that ho was hired for that
sum, exhibiting the check, to take
a parly of republican repeaters to
Indiana. “He then proposed lo
take the repeaters to that statu and
use them for tho democrats for $2,-
000- Ttie proposition was accep
ted and a check given for that sum.
He then destroyed tbo raised check,
drew the $2,000, but rendered no
service.
