A big trade was pulled off here Wednesday when Losh Downs trad- ed Jim Smith a hog for a mule “sight unseen” Jim had just§ bought the mule at a sale for $2.50, and the hog has been down for a month cr two with kidney worm.—Montgom- ery (Mo.)jTribune.

That Dodgasted, Jim Twisted Paddle. My life’s growing white with tte snows of December, and soon it must yield to the force of the blast ard like an old dotard I dream, and re- member the things that occurred in the far away past. How well Ican! Picluic wne nuuse I was born in, the kitchen, the stairway, the dark nar. row hall; the old clock that rang an alarm in the mornin,” the cheap wooden paddle that bung on the wall; that plain wooden paddle, that long- handled paddle, that rusty old pad- dle that hung on the wall. Then I was a wayward young lad and mis chievous, and given to tricks tha: were foolish and vain, and father would say to me: ““Why do you grieve us and fill our hearts with a cream colored pain? The life you are leading long since has disgraced you, and filled all our bosoms with worm- wood and gall; I see very plainly T’ll have to lambaste you—"Then down came the paddle that hung. on the wall; that cheap willow paddle, that unvarnished paddle, that three cornered paddle that hung on the wall. Then all of our helpful and well-meaning neighbors, whose lives were too barren of pleasure and glee would pause for a time from theu pastimes and labors, to hear that old paddle connecting with me. And O how they chortled and giggled and tittered, when hearing me let out an agonized bawl! ‘Twas little they recked that my life was embittered by that wooden paddle that hung on the wall; that ding-busted paddle, that dodgasted paddle, that jim twisted paddle that hung on the wall. —Walt Mason. Crmus Naturally. Kicker —Now we have children taught how to play. Bocker—Fine! Next we shall have animal training to show lambs how to gambol.—New York Sun.
