A furniture wagon bearing no name was driyea upto the residence of Nathan Hoffheimer. A sofa was taken out by the two men in the wagon, and although the servants knew nothing of the furniture be- ing ordered, they allowed it to be taken into the house. Three or four hours later the men and fur nitare wagon came back. The men explained that a mistaké bad: been made ; that the sofa was nos ordered by Mrs.- is eimer, bat by another person- They offered many apologies to the servant for the “stupid blunder.” Later in a spell with her, an’ so she kinder left.

One day three of them, to use their own eipression, “put up a job on him.” . They filed into the shop with an sir of importance, and one of them demanded : “How mach do you ask for a yard of pork?” were “One dollar,” answered the old wian- “I'll take a yard,” spokesman- : “Where is your money ?” ‘The dollar was produced, the dealer pocketed it, and handed said the ,|the customer three pig’s..feet. - '“Howis that ?” said the fellow. “Why,” answered Old’ © Pro, “three feet make a yard, don’t they ?"—--Youthis: Companion... | oe . _finidvour sabwenptio i _ meeting tuesday night ge * - LOOAL I COUNTY OFFICERS.

Everything was scrupe lously clean, but there was a nat- ural absence of some of the luxa- ries of high-priced city hotels. Some of the ladies of the party discovered that there were no keys in the locks of their rooms, and waited upon the farmer’s wife- That good woman was sur- prised. “Why,” she said, “we don’t usa- ally lock our doors here, and there’a no one here bat you.
