HE AND SHE.
ELIZABETH HISLAND.
“If I were king,” ho said,
“And you were Just a lowly begger maid,
With my strong hand I’d 11(1 yon to my side
And crown you queen: and in the great
king’s hride
Men would not knew,
Or would forget, the beggar maid.”
“If I were queen,” she said,
“And you a careless, wandering minstrel,
strayed
Totny fair court, I’d set you on the throne;
And being there, the greatest king s'er
known,
I would kneel down
• And serve ns your maid.”

J. R. King, of Webster county, is a

She told how hard she and her little
boys worked in her garden patch, how
early they were all up every morning,
and yet how difficult it was to make
both ends meet, even though they did j
work hard and long.
The lady felt sorry for her, and tried 1
to comfort her by saying so good-look-j
ing a woman as she should marry again, j
“Whv, Mrs. C., I would,” she said,
“hut who would have me with this big
family?”
“Lots would,” replied Mrs. C. “I j
know two or three who would he tick

I’ll send them around.”
“You be sure to do it,” said the wid

\ strange freak of nature occurred on
'he plantation of Mrs. 1. M . Head.
The Belle of Mountain Dew.
Miss Bettie Smith, of Fentress coun
ty, Tenn., who was arrested on the
charge of illicit distilling, is said to be
handsome and accomplished, and is
supposed to have written that wild
and stirring romance, “The Blue-Head
ed Sap-Sucker, or The Rock Where the
Juice Ran Out.” Col. Harvey Mathes,
editor of the Memphis Ledger, says
that Miss Smith is undoubtedly the au
thor of the story. This is a startling
revelation in Tennessee. At one time
Col. Mathes offered $3,000 for the dis
covery of the author.
When Miss Smith was arraigned be
fore the United States Court at Nash
ville, she conducted herself with such
grace and dignity that the polite old
Judge, deeply impressed, arose and
made her a profound bow.
“Miss Smith,” said the Judge, “to
see you in this awful predicament seri
ously touches me.”
“It does me, too, Judge.”
“How old are you?”
“Judge, you should not ask such a
question, but I will tell you. I am two
years older than my married sister,
who was married before she was as old
as I am. She has been married eight
een months, and still speaks well of
her husband. Now, how old am I?”
“I cannot telL”
“I am not to blame for your mathe
matical inefficiency.”
“Why did you go into the business
of illicit distilling?”
“Because I wanted to make whis
ky.”
“I suppose so. How long have yea
been a distiller?”
“Ever since I was 36 years old.”
“When were you £6 years old?”
“The year my father died.”
“What year was that?”
“The year my Unde Ileury moved
to Texas.”
“Miss Smith, you are a woman, but
I insist that you shall answer my ques
tions. Remember, that if convicted of
this awful charge, you will be sent to
the penitentiary. What did you do
with the whisky you made?”
“Sold it/'
“Who bought it?”
“Well, Judge, it would be rather
hard to tell who bought it all. Some
time ago a 'party of gentlemen came
out into my neighborhood to hunt deer.
The party got out of whisky, but
j found it difficult to buy any. After
awhile I told a man if he would put his

Texas Sittings.
\ young woman from the country
was suing her ex-sweetheart for breach
of promise, and the lawyers were, as
usual, making all sorts of impertinent
inquiries.
“You say,” remarked one, “that the
defendant frequently sat very close to
you?”
“Yes, sir,” was the reply, with a
hectic flush.
“How close?”
“Close enough so’s one cheer was all
the settin’ room we needed.”
“And you say he put his arm around
you?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“What did you say, then?”
“I said he put both arms around
me.”
“Then what?”
“He hugged me.”
“Very hard?”
“Yes, he did. So hard that I come
purty nigh hollerin’ right out,’
“Why didn’t you holler?”
“Cause.”
“That’s no reason. Be explicit,
please. Because why?”
“Cause I was afeered he’d stop.”
The court fell off the bench, and had
to be carried out and put under the
hydrant for the purpose of resuscita
tion.

“This is a queer looking building, isn’t
it!” he asked, stopping in front of a
house on Lafayette square. “Yes, it is
quite odd and quite old,” she replied,
evincing much interest. “Is it very
old!” “Oh, yes; very, very old; I can
remember when—er—er—have you ev
er noticed, Mr, De Smith, what beauti
ful streets we have in Washington!”
“You can take the witness,” said the
prosecuting attorney in a trial before
an Arkansas Court to the defendant’s
lawyer. “Judge,” exclaimed a young
man in the back part of the room,
standing up on,a seat and waving his
hands wildly, “don’t let him take her!
That witness has been engaged to me
for more’n three years!”
A contemporary asks: “How shall
women carry their purses to frustrate
thieves!” “Why, carry them empty.
Nothing frustrates a thief more than to
snatch a woman’s purse, after follow

contains nothing but a recipe for spiced
peaches and a faded photograph of her
grandmother.”
“In the spring a young man’s fancy
