A traveller for a Detroit whole sate grocery house was the other day making a trip between two Northern country towns with a sleigh, when one of the horses was taken sick, and he drew up at a farm house and inquired if he could put the animal out and rest him until he reeovered. 'You can,' replied the woman, 'hut I want to warn you in advance that I have run away from my lu s band on two different occasions 0nce with a drover and once with a rMap seller." 'Well, what of it?' 'You'll find . out as soon as the Old man Comes up fro!- the slash ing! He'll think you are after me, and there'll be a row.' '()h, 1 guess I can explainu mat ters to him.' 'Don't you wait to explain) nothi ing,' she conitinued : 'he'll go for you without a word, and if you can't wallop him he'll give you the worst licking a stranger ever got !'

WVaiting just long enough to draw a full breath he muade a break for the traveller. TIhe latter dropped huis wisps of hay and felt of the .farmer's right eye in a way that laid him flat. .le got up anid camne again, buul was received with a 4tinger on the jaw, and as he went down the traveller got him by the throat and held him fast. By and by, when he dared let him up a little, heC explained: 'I was 'forced to stop here and take care ot a sick horse.' 'Well~j,. that's all right,' replied the farmer. 'Let me up aiid I'll help rub him.' Ila was assisted to his feet and went to work with considerablle heart. By and by he went to lthe house and had his eye bound up, and when supper was ready he in sisted that the traveller should pat with him. Not a cent would he take when the latter was ready to go,. but extending his hand he said : 'Stranger, I've licked seven dif erent men who stopped here with in the past six months, and it kin der does me good to get knocked under the benches. Next time you come this way stop and give me ap hour's lesson. Good-bye to you.' -Detroit Free Press. TAKING HIM AT his WORD. 'Now, my son, this won't do. You spend altogether too much time in play. You must buckle down to work.' 'All right, father,' was the du tiful response. The next morning the young man, instead of exercising himself in the woodshed, slung his skates over his shoulder and disappeared, not to return until hunger drove him home for supper. 'Well,' exclaimed the irate fath er, 'where have you been all day, sir?' 'Skatin', replied the youth. 'And didn't you promise me last night that you would buckle down to work?' 'Indeed I did, dear father,' said the bright and truthful hid. 'I couldn't skate, you know, if I didn't first buckle down.' A NATURAL MISTAK.-At the Zoo, recently,a West Walnut-street dude was observed lounging in front of a cage containing some very fine specimens of monkeys, He was apparently enjoying the antics of the animals, when, sud denly, one of the largest stretch ed forth an arm, and seizing him by the shoulder tore his coat sleeve badly. The dude, uttering an impreca tion, raised his cane to strike the animal, but the attendant interfer edl. 'Phat's the matter wid yez?' he saidl. 'WVould yez sthrike thbe loik es of a little fellow like that?' 'Certainly I would,' was the an gry response. 'Look he has ruin ed my coat.'no 'Ah, poor chap, he meant n harum. lie must huve taken yez for his long-lobst brother andl was lookiui' for a strawberry mark on your armn.'
