Chii linn fit Work.] T'lio oilier evening Rev Mr Phi. lacater sat down at the table with a very thoughtful air, and attended to tho wants ol his brood in a very ab stracted manner. Presently he looked up at his wife, and said: The Apostle Paul— Got an awlul lump on tho head ‘sateruoon, broke in the pastor's el. dost son, playing baseball, But flow out of the striker's hands when I Was umpire and cracked mo right above the ear and dropped me. Hurt? Golly! And tho lad shook his head in a dismal but expressive pautumiue, as ho tenderly rubbed a luhip that looked like n billiard ball with hair on if. The pastor gravely paused for tho interruption, and resumed: The Apostle Paul— Saw Mrs Dash down at Hroen bam's this afternoon, said his eldest daughter addressing her mother. She had on the same old eyorlasl. ing black silk, made over with a vest tf green silk, rat tail basque pat pattern, overskirt made with diago nal folds in front, edged with deep fringe, dark felt hat with black vel vet facing and pule blue fl ,wGrs. She's going to Chicago, The good minister waited pa tiently’, and then in tones n shade louder t,.an before, bo resumed: Tho Apostle Paul— Went in swintmin last night with Henry and I)un, and stepped on a clam shell, exclaimed his younger son; and cut my foot so I can't wear my sh e; and please, can t I stay at home to-morrow? Then the pastor informed Ins son that he c ,uld stay away from the li ver, and again essayed his subject of convertion. He said : “The Apostle Paul says”— “MV teacher is an awful storyteller, shouted the second son ; “he says the world is as round as an orange, and turns round all the time faster than a circus man can ride. I guess he hasn’t got much sense.” 'l'he mother lilted a warning finger toward the boy, and said, “Sh 1” and the father resumed: “The Apostle Paul says”— “Don’t bite off twice as much as you can chew,” broke out the eldest son, reproving the a-sault of his little sister cn a piece of cake. The pastor’s face showed just a trifle of annoya-.ee, as he said in a fnm and decided tone : “The Apostle Paul says”— “There’s a fly in the buttei,” cried the youngest hopeful of the family, and a general laugh followed. When silence had been restored the eldest daughter, with an air cf curios ty, said ; “Well, pa, I really would like to know vvliat the Apostle said.” “Pass the mustard, said the pas tor, sternly. And now the question is: What did the Apostle Paul really say Rev. Mr I’hilacter could have so curiously constructed? Or is it the new version. Courting Under Difficulties 110 came up a little lnte. stopped iu without ringing, and striding, sollly into the parlor, dropped iuto an easy chair with the easy grace ot a young man accustomed to tho programme. Isy Jove, ho said to the dim fig ure sitting in the obscurity of the so fa, by Jove, I thought 1 was never going to see you alone again. Your mother never goes away from the house nowadays, does she Minnie? Well, not amazingly frequently, cheerfully replied tho old ludv from the sofa. Minnie is away so much of time now I have to stay at home. In the old hickory tree dt the end of tho house the hooting owl complained to the moon ranch iu its usual style, and tho plaintive cry of the whippoorwill filled the uiglit with noetry, but he don’t hear any of it all the same. And, l*v George, he said to a friend fifteen minutes later, it I didn't leave my hat on the piano, and my cane in the hall, I'm a goat. Think of them? Forgot them. Strike me blind if I kr.ew I had any clothes on at all. What I wanted was fresh ab; and I wanted abotu 30acresof it, and that mighty quick, too. Pike County News : —Never be fore have we heard so much talk of mad-dogs as we have this week. Nearly every person coming to town from certain parts of Upson and Mon roe counties, in the neighbe/rioods of Yatesvilleand Culloden bring something of the depredations of mad-dogs in the neighborhood. We learn that hydro phobia has existed in these neighbor hoods for months probably, and there is more cause for alarm than is .appa rent. Testing a Fire Escape with a Telephone Girl. Milwaukee Sun.] ' A gentleman doing business on j Broadway, and who notices every little thing, says he was never so frightenen in his life as he was the oilier night, when they were trying a patent fire es cape on the building occupied by the telephone exchange. During the af ternoon several men went down the escape safely, but the agent for the patent concern couldn’t induce any of the telephone girls to Iry it. Fin ally, after it began to be a little dark, one of the gills, with more nerve than the rest consented to make her exit by the patent contrivance. She was seated in the chair, made of straps, and took hold of the rope and swung out of of the window. People looked on, or up, with wonder. They had never seen anything like it, and as the trail girl was poised in the air, her teeth set, as well as the rest of her, her delicate fingers clutched the rope, and her eyes sticking out so you could hang clothes on them, it Was a scene to make the stoutest heart quail, on toast. The girl went down about six feet and then the rope got caught, and she hung there like Absalom, only with this difference, that Ab hung by his hair. Strong men turned pale, and looked to see the girl faint and into it. But she was not that kind of a girl. She wished she had as many dollars as she wouldn’t faint. But she held the fort. She remained in statu quo, if that is what she remained in. People below were occupied with dif ferent thoughts. Some were praying that she might hold out faithful to the end, and others were laughing at her. One fellow shouted, ‘'Mellow, cen tral ! Connect me with 940, two rings,” and the girl looked down at him as though she would like to cat him. The situation was becoming serious. Evertlune was tried to make the rope work, and finally a lrnd was reached out of the window, the steadfast girl was grasped by some portion of her clothin that would not r : p, and just as the crowd were about to taint away at the sight, she was pulled in the window and unharnessed from the fire escape. As her feet touched the floor she shook her dress with t ne hand, brush her hair with the other and turning to the agent of the fire escape she said : “Don't you ever speak to me again.” Volumes could not say more. The Difference. Wall Street News. In 0111 country, said the English man, as lie leunod back in bin chair, before we marry wo arrange to set lie a certain sum on tho wife. Yes, I know, replied the Arneri cn, but with us it is different. It isaflcr Wo aro married that we settle everything on tho wife, and arrange to beat our creditors. Haw! I see. And how do the credit-rs lake it? They never find anything to take. Not Boarders. —And so you are working right across the street from me? ([Hiring the first, as they met on Forty-seventh street on the other af ternoon. “Yes.” “And it’s a boarding house?” “Oh, no; we arc a strictly private family.” “Why, I have Been several young men call so often that I took them for boarders.” “Oh, no ; they arc nothing bat bill collectors ! Three come one day arid four on the next, and I suppose they are trying to wear out my lady’s pa tience.” “Doesn’t it annoy her?” "Not a bit. Do you notice that they are all well dressed, good-looking men, and we really flatter ourselves that the neighbors take them for ar tists and diamond brokers who want our custom. Sadie J. Wilson, Savannah, says : “I used Brown’s Iron Bitted for dys pepsia and ant delighted with the prompt relief it afforded me. Saved by Clutching a House's Tail. —Albert DoUghertl, one of the driters between Green iliver and Big Sandy, who was caught in the storm on Wednesday evening and lay out on ihe snow and i< o forty-eight hours, was brought in to-night by privato conveyance. Donahe-ty was unable to mount the horse after abandoning tbe stage and the way he succeeded in travel ing was as follows: lie took hold of the sagacious animal's tail and let it drag Lint. Whenever his hands became bo benumbed that he could not retain his grasp on the horse's tail, the animal would stop and come rip to him and patiently wait until Doug ierty would again entwine his hands in the tail of the horse, when the animal would re sume the journey—Salt LakeTrib ! unc.
