A man he owned a terrier dog A boh-tailed, ornery cuss, And that there pup got that there man In many an ugly muss; For the man was on his muscle, And the dog was on his bite; Bo to kick the dog-goned animile, Was sure to raise a fight. A woman owned a Thomas cat That fit at fifteen pound; And other cats got up and slid When that there eat was round. The man and his dorg came along one day Where the woman she did dwell, And the purp he growled ferociously, Then went for that cat pell-mell. He tried to chaw the neek of the cat, But the cat he wouldn't be chawed, So helit on the hack of that there dorg, And bit! and clawed! Oh ! the hair it flew ! and the purp he youled! As the claws went Iito his hide, And chunks of flesh were peeled from his gide ;, Then he flummexed and kicked and died. The man he ripped and cursed and swore, As he gathered a big brick-bat, That he would be durned essentially If bedidn't kill that cat! But the old woman allowed she'd be blest if he did, And snatched up an old shot gun, Which she fired, and peppered his diraphragm With bird-shot number one, They toed him home on a window blind, And the doctor cured him up; But he was never known to fight again, Or own another purp. Folks may turn up their snoot at this here rhyme, I don't care a cuss for that!

A lady on the outskirts of Denver was the victim, the other day. of a tramp's practical joke. - Even in those vagabonds there is an occasional vein of humor which fis worth preserving. The inci- dent happened in this wise: About the middle of the afternoon, the tramp put inan appearance and asked politely if he could be permitted to cook for him- self a plate of soup. \I have the ingredients with me. he said, displaying a cobblestone about the size of an apple. The lady very naturally looked at him infeurprise. \You can't make soup out of that rock, can you?\ she inquired. \Oh yes, madam. This is what we call soup stone.\ \Well I should like to see you do it,\ and she forthwith made up a fire in the stove, and the tramp commenced opera- tions. - He filled the stove-pan with wa- ter, and after it commenced to boil very carefully deposited the stone in the pan of water. \I shall have to trouble you for a little seasoning,\ hesaid, and the lady hasten- ed to get him an onion, a piece of meat and a tomato. | These were carefully cut and put in to boil along with the stone. In a short time, a delicious plate of soup was prepared | The lady tasted it and was delighted with the flavor, The fellow sat down and ate, and his hostess immediately added what was necessary tomakea substantial meal. When he left, he said that he could get plenty of soup stones on his way, and he would leave that one with her, as an evidence of how sincerely he appreciated her kind- ness. She was firmly-convinced that she had come into the possession of a treas ure, That night she toid her husband of the circumstance. He listened to the recital and then inquired innocently: \Don't you think the meat and the onion and the tomato would have made a very good plate of soup without the rock?\ Gradually the trick begain to dawn upon her. and if you want to make that lady mad you have only to ask her the loan of her soup stone. ### --- Didn't Believe in 'Em. \You've got s'telephone here, haven't you?\ asked a citizen as he yesterday en- tered an office on (Griswold street in a seeming great hurry. \Yes was the reply. \Well I never beheved in 'em to any groat extent, but I wanted toorder some coal from a yard up the river.\ The owner of the office proceeded to **call,\ and when he got to the coal deal- er, he said: \Mr. Blank is here and he wants to know if you have any soft coal?\ \Yes-500 tens,\ was the answer. \Well he wants you to send him up a ton, \We'll see him blowed first! owed us a bill over two years!\ \Yum!\ muttered the man as he step- ped back. \Did they say they'd send it!\ asked the other. \N-o not exactly.\ \W hat did they say?\ \I-I didn't catch it very well Let me repeat. Picking up the trumpet again he stood with it to his ear and asked : \Did you say you'd send it?\ \Not by a blamed sight!\ came the re- sponse. \Well asked the man, as a painful pause ensued. \Well replied the operator, \this line isn't working very well this morning, He has The dealer seemed to hear me well enough, but I don't get hold of his answer plainly.

About forty years ago, a poor woman, living in Philadelphia, managed to eke out a miserable existence by selling mo- lasses candy. One day, her candy was scorched. The woman was in despair. The loss wasa serious one in a trade whose profits were counted by pennies. She was quick-witted, and ready with expedients. She cracked some walnuts, mixed the kernels with the candy, and wrote a placard. \The new nut candy, one cent a cake,\ The children dropped in on their way to school. The candy was liked. They came back for more the next day. The fame of the cheap confection spread from one school to another. The maker shrewly confined herself to making that. Presently she! took a larger shop in the alley. In a year or two she moved again, but this all over the country. she sold out her business, and retired with a handsome fortune. Now she lives in a stately bouse which stands in a all of walnut; carved panels representing and on her carriage, instead of a coat of arms, is a bunch of walnuts just burst- tain -Detroif Free Press. grove of walnut trees; the woodwork is you may go to the sultan.\ CP sultina is your niece.\ walnut boughs decorate the dining-room; the d-I.\ 75 Cents Per Yrin.

A good story is told of one of the grand jurors of Northfield, Vt., in attendance upon the last term of court at Montpe- liar. He was afraid he would not wake in season to take the six o'clock train to the capitol, which he had talked over with his wife on retiring. He had just got into a sound sleep when his faithful spouse woke him, suggesting that it must be time to get up. He did; found it was only midnight, and retired again. Soon he was aroused again, and this time, upon consulting the clock, it proved to be only two a. M. Somewhat disgusted and angered at being so often broken in his slumbers, he again sought his couch, admonishing his wife thus : \Look here, you keep your elbow out of my back, and your mouth out of my ear till morning.\ Feeling herself relieved of any further responsibility, she went to sleep for good, and left her lord and master to wake when he chose, which he did at four o'clock. Thinking it would not pay to try and get more sleep, he built a fire, put on his hat and overcoat, took his valise in his hand, and sat down before the fire a few moments. Meanwhile, his wife slumbered on until seven o'clock when she awoke to fin 1 him gone, where- at she felt very badly, as she intended to have got him a warm breakfast. Leis- urely dressing herself, she sought the kitchen where, to her astonishment, she beheld her husband, equipped for his journey, satchel in band, sitting bolt upright in his chair before the stove, fast asleep, and the train gone over an hour. ----4t@4-___ A Perkian merchant, complaining of time it was into one of the principal |8°\%° unjust sentence of the lower court, streets.
