At old uncle Bad Matthews' we sleep} with a young candidate, who, just before lying down, hanys his shirt, wet with per- j apiration, in the win-low-high upper ; window-io dry He disposes it carefully, I letting tho whole garment dangle in the j wind, and placing the soap stand and s?v- j eral booka upon tho collar band to keepit from living oui Al midnight there comes i a terrible beating, battering rain, but the j young candidate waketb not. And we, j although wakeful, forget thc shirt. And j now when the young candidate rises and ; hauls in the shirt, it weighs ten pounds, j and tho water streams from it in countless J rivulets. And he has no other! And the j situation is at once ludicrous and alarm ing. A very skimpy undershirt of cross barred muslin will never do to appear at Richland Spring in. And uncle Bud's are not of an available pattern. So what ia lo be done ? The young candidate almost weepy; and we solve the hying problem by taking our own clean shirl off of n chair and putting if over the young can didate's head.

No one can blame France for holding aloof.
