POTTER'S JOKE. “You have made me very happy, Polly, and s’pose we set the day for Christmas.” Miss Polly Perkins looked lovingly into his eyes and answered affirma- tively by leaning her head upon his shoulder. They were sitting in the pretty parlor of a cosy cottage on the out- skirts of Glenville. Their courtship had not been a long one—in fact, it had been short, earnest and decisive, and when Peter Potter parted from his betrothal that Sunday night he considered himself a very lucky man in securing such a prize as Polly Perkins, the prettiest lass in Glen- ville, wno had eaten more philopeans and broken more chicken breast bones than any other maid for miles around. True, she was only 20, while Peter was a batchelor way up in the thir- ties; but he was a man of property and carried on a thriving grocery business in the village; and there were some girls in Glenville who would have felt very much “put out” if they had overheard the engage- ment words spoken that Sunday night. Christmas was now only two months offand Polly at once began to procure her wedding trousseau. She was a poor girl, who made her living by working in a cotton facto- ry, and she had no relative in the world except an old maiden aunt, with whom she lived. She was a bright girl, somewhat pert in her manners, and on occasion, she could be as tart as vinegar. Peter Potter was a queer mental compound. He was phenomenally unstable in his views on religion and politics; so much so, in fact, that he had won the name of “Peter Change- about,” and no one more faithfully observed the maxim, “When you're among Romans, do as the Romans do,” than he. In politics he was equally fickle. One year he was an ardent democrat; the next year he i was a republican, and once he fig- | ured as a bright and shining local | light in the ranks of the independent | party. | Peter Potter was a man well liked | by the people of Glenville. He was | not stingy. He was foremost in | works of charity, and many & poor family, to which enforced idleness or sickness had brought privation, was | the recipient of substantial gifts from Lis store. He was always a cheerful | man, and no social party in Glenville | was considered complete without his i ss ee St rr eeepc close ipsa seaneesnpenoeseanainetaannanne| presence. Aud he was very popular with the gentler sex. Moreover, he greatly enjoyed a practical joke, even if he himself was the victim of it. In this respect he could give and take with equal satisfaction to his risibilities in either case. Now, when the news got around that he had engaged himself to Miss Polly Perkins the gossips made all sorts of remarks about the matter not at all complimentary to Peter Potter. “Tl bet a watermelon to a pump- saying which the postmaster looked over toward the bride that was to have been, and then, turning to Mr. Spieller and Lawyer Kent, he said, laying his hand upon Mr. Spieller’s shoulder, “I pity that girl!” “He vos von practikeet shoker, um, mein heer? Dot musht haf mait um a ferry fnnny fellow, um?” said the man with the bushy whiskers. “Yes, you bet he was, and——” At this instant the attention of the three was diverted to a group of young woman who had surrounded “Lhe Naked Truth.” Truth was one day bathing ina limpid river, Falshehood happened to pass. and noticing the garments of Truth on the bank of the stream, conceived the idea of exchanging his clothing for that of the bather, who came from the bath and mourned the loss sustained, but disdained Falseheod’s garb, has since gone naked through the world. Whethér the origin of the expression “the naked truth” is mythical or other- |’ wise, is universally known to be the “naked truth” that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovey has no Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. ‘When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, ‘When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, ‘Whea she had Children, she gave them Castoria. ooo —An editor in this country does not have to saw wood, but he carries coal, makes paste, attends all the meetings, reads a lot of trash to get alittlenews, Miss Perkins and were mingling ex- pressions ef sympathy for her with their denunaiations of her delinquent betrothed. Polly's face was buried in Aunt Betsey’s lap and she seemed to be weeping. “Misther Kent, vill you okquaint- ance me make mit said Mr. Spieller. “Certainly, w.th pleasuae,” said the lawyer, and the acquaintance was made. Mr. Spieller took the Rev. Mr. Thompson's arm and led him to a corner where the two, kin seed,” said Bill Jackson, the postmaster, “that Peter Potter won't be on hand when the time comes. Of course he now thinks he loves Miss Perkins, but he’s likely to be smit- ten with the charms of Sallie Tweed next week, and with those of Susie Timkins before Thanksgiving comes. Poor Polly Perkins! She’s too nice a body to be trifled with and made the jest and jeer of all the girls in the town.” And this was the popular view ta- ken of the situation, and some of the dot meenister? equal as a curative agent for con- sumption (lung-scrofula), bronchitis, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma and kindred diseases of the throat and lungs. have been more mystified by “Jack the Ripper” than any other case for half a centu- ry. The fact that he suddenly ceased his murderous operations leads many to believe that he is dead. The London police Merit Wins. We desire tosay to our citizens, that does job printing, runs the hand press, cuns errands, sweeps out once amonth, makes out bills once a month and then makes them out over again next month and smiles sweetly on the man who threatens to kill him on sight. Then there are some editors who ‘‘rush the growler,” ‘‘deal,” **buck tiger,” get drunk, stay drunk and let allof the before mentioned duties go to thunder.—Rising Sun Independent. ——_ -___ —Bakers in Holland work on Friday and Saturday twenty-six hours with- out intermission; other workmen have “long hours,” and yet Americans re- zeive the chief criticism of being “overworked.” ORKMANSHIP, Material, and Finish beyond all com. pacsen. gossips were not dilatory in saying’ this much to Miss Perkins. Never- theless, she had faith in her affiane- ed, and received the tattle of the busybodies without allowing her good nature to become ruffled for a moment. “Why,” said she to aneighbor one day, “do you suppose I'm going to go crazy if he don’t keep his word? Oh, no! There’s just as good fish in the sea as ever was caught, you know;” and then she laughed most heartily and went tripping along the roadside humming a cheerful air. Of coursa much of this gossip reached the ears of Peter Potter, who, however, went about his busi- ness as usual and was not at all af- fected by the coldness which some of the marriageable girls of the sew- Ing circle manifested when he met them on the street or at chnreh. As for the gentlemen—-those fellows who had declared that his engage- ment to Polly was merely one of his practical jokes—he said: “Ill show ’em a joke that'll make ‘em laugh on the other side of their mouths this time.” Well, it was now within a week of Christmas. Invitations to the wed- ding had beeri sent out with the re- quest that the recipients be at Miss | Perkins’ Aunt Betsey’s residence at 3 o'clock of that day to witness the ceremony. It was a conventional gathering of village society that met there that day. Even the gossips who had been most industrious in criticising Mr. Peter Potter were there. The Rev. Mr. Philip Thompson arrived a few minutes before the appointed hour—he was to be master of cere- monies—and when the old clock surck 3 there was only one absentee. Miss Polly Perkins, prettily attired in white si’k, white gloves, and a white tulle veil and orange blossoms, was standing by a window in close conversation with aunt Betsey. Ten minutes passed, and then low mut- terings were heard from knots of guests in the parlor. “I told you so,” said Postmasetr Jackson. “Peter Potter is still en- titled to the nickname of ‘Peter Changeabout.’ - Now, I renew my bet of a watermelon to a pumpkin seed that Peter won't be here. He's most cruelly jilted Miss Polly Per- kins, you bet.” These remarks were addressed to young lawyer Tom Kent, whose con- versation with a long haired, bushy whiskered and heavily mustaehed young man had been ‘nterrupted by them. “It’s too bad—too bad,” returned the lawyer, “but here, Mr. Jackson, let me introduce you to my* friend, Mr. Max Spieller.” The bushy whiskered men end the postmaster shook hands and then the three entered into a whispered 4 conversation about Peter Potter's non-appearance. “He vos a goot fallow. um?” ied Mr. Spieller. | “Oh, yes, Peter's a good enough | fellow,” said Mr. Jackson. “but you | see he has always beena very change- able man—shift | quer- | from one idea to | | another about as lively as a flee —and | he has long been considered the boss practice! joker of this towa. I reck- on that this is one of his jokes; | ettect for several minutes, held a whispered conversa- tion. Then the two, guests—nearly an hour had now passed—were pre- paring to take their leave. “Ladies and gentlemen,” said Lawyer Kent, “as the friend and le- gal adviser of Mr. Peter Potter, per- mit me to request you to remain a little longer. He may have been unavoidably detained, you see.” At this moment Mr. Spieller whis- pered something in Lawyer Kent's ear, and the lawyer then said some- thing in a low tone to the dominie. “Misther Shackson,” said Mr. S. addressing the postmaster, “I vill take dot bet about dat vatermilion und dot punkin seed.” “But you'll lose, sure,” said Mr. Jackson. “Vell, den, I loose—dot’sall,” said Mr. Spieller, und 1 pet you dot hoss I got indot tavern stable against von tollar dot Mr. Potter vill pe here—um?” “Well, I'll go you,” said the post- master. “Yaw, und pefore dese vitnesses?” asked Mr. Spieller. “Sure,” answered Mr. Jackson. There was at this moment a little flurry among the guests, during which Mr. Spieller approached Polly and said, “Miss Perkins, vill you spheak mit mein dot hallvay von minyute?” With her handkerchief to her eyes Polly arose and accompanied the gentleman to the ha". “It's worked splendiély, Polly, dear,” he said, “and I reckon I’ve taught "em a good lesson. There, now,” and he tore off his long hair and bushy whiskers and gave her a kiss that but for the noise made by the busy tongues in the parlor might have been heard there. The next moment Miss Polly Per- kins returned to the company lean- ing on the arm of Mr. Peter Potter, who was genteelly attired ina dress suit, and in every respect looked like a becoming and happy bridegroom. The guests were struck dumb with amazement which was greatly height- ened when Peter placed bis hand in that of the Rev. Mr. Thompson and said: “Vill you pe goot eaough to make von of us two—nein, nein, I means vill you make us two into von—um?” Well, the ceremony was soon over, and a right jolly wedding feast fol- lowed, and when the company sepa- rated the happy bridegroom said, as a parting remark to Postmaster Jackson: “Dot vos von great practi- keel joke—um? Und don’t you for- get dot vatermilion und dot tollar.” Beware of the soda fountain which has to be winked at.
