What Did the Girl Think?
Yesterday morning Joe Taylor received a letter from a potato dealer in another town which was a puzzler. It started out with "My Darling Bess," nnd proceed to tell him to build a good fire in the grate and trim the lamp as the writer would boon hand Saturday night. It was added that "Bess" need not be so particular about the lamp as they really wouldn't need any light oil the subject at all and could do just as well without it. There was much more talk of like nature but nothing in reference to a certain car load of potatoes. Mr. Taylor telegraphed for information and this morning received answer stating that his agent had put Taylor's letter in his girl's envelop, etc. It was the old, old story and the price of the cigars all around come with it.
Why WeArs In It.
Mace Townsley, the Crawfordsville theatric manager, was in town last fc'riday, and gave us some "inside talk' about the theater business. He says that he has several times tried to get good companies to come here when it was the most conv. nient thing for them to dothat is, they could "split a big jnnip' by showing in Roekville, The answer would be, "Oh, no! We don't waut to make that Jonah town." This has all come about by our j)eoile refusing to patronize good shows, while they have generally gone to poor ones. It behooves us to do something to encourage good shows. The money spent on bad shows would have given us a good standing.

There on exhibition will be every kind of arm and uniform used in the late rebellion, and all of them were collected from bloody battle fields. Curious and horrible relies of all kinds are there and in fact the museum is a regular storo house of valuable information and pleasurable interest.

About It.
ICopyrtglited by Lee & SUepard, Boston, and published by special arrangement with them.)
Putting up a stove is not so difficult in itself. It is the pipe that raises fourfifths of the mischief and all the dust. You may take down a stove with all the care in the world, and yet that pipe won't come together again as it was before. You find this out when you are standing on a chair with your arms full of pipe and your mouth full of soot. Your wife is standing on the floor in a position that enables her to see you, the pipe and the chair, and here she gives utterance to those remarks that are calculated to hasten a man into the extremes of insanity. Her dress is pinned over her waist and her hands rest on her hips. She has got one of yonr hats on her head, and your linen coat on her back and a pair of rubbers on her feet. There is about five cents' worth of pot black on her nose and a lot of flour on her chin, and altogether she Is a spectacle that would inspire a dead man with distrust
Arid while you are up there trying to circumvent the awful contrariness of the pipe, aud telling that you know some fool has been mixing it, she stands safely on the floor and bombards you with such domestic mottoes as "What's the use of swearing so?" "Yon know no one has touched that pipe." "You ain't got any more patience than a child." "Do be careful of that chair." And then she goes oflf and reappears with an armful more of pipe, and before you are aware of it she has got that pipe so horribly mixed up that it does seem no two pieces are alike.
You join the ends and work them to and fro, and to aud fro again, and then you take them apart and look at them. Then you spread one out and jam the other together, and mount them once more. But it is no go. You begin to think the pieces are inspired with life, and uclie to kick them through the window. But she doesn't lose her patience. She goes around with that awful exasperating rigging on, with a length of pipe under each arm and a long handled broom in her hand, aud says she don't 5ee how it is some people never have any trouble putting up a stove. Then yon miss the hammer. You don't see it anywhere. You stave into the pipe along the mantel, and down the stove, and off the floor. Your wife watches you, and finally is thoughtful enough to inquire what you are looking after and, on learning, pulls the article from her pocket. Then you feel as if you con Id go outdoors and swear a hole twelve feet quare through a block of brick buildings, but she merely observes, "Why on earth don't you speak when you want anything, and not stare around like a dummy.
When that part of the pipe which goes through the wall is up she keeps it up with the broom, while you are making the connection and stares at it with an intensity that is entirely uncalled for All the while your position is becoming more aud more interesting. The pipe don't go together, of course. The soot shakes down into your eyes and mouth, the sweat rolls down your face and tickles your chin as it drops off, and it seems as if your arms were slowly but surely drawing out of their sockets.
Here your wife comes to the rescue by inquiring if you are going to be all day doing nothing, and if you think her arms are made of cast iron, and then the broom slips off the pipe, and in her endeavor to recover her hold she jabs yon under the chin with the handle, and the pipe comes down on your head with its load of fried soot, and then the chair tilts forward enough to discharge your feet and you come down on the wrong end of that chair with a force that would bankrupt a.pilo driver. You don't touch that stove again. You leave your wife examining the chair and bemoaning its injuries, and go into the kitchen and wash your skinned and bleeding bauds with yellow soap. Then you go down street after a man to do the business, and your wife goes over to the neighbor's with her chair and tells them about its injuries, and drains the neighborhood dry with its sympathy long oe^ fore you get home.
The Carman.
Years of experience in moving enables a carman to distinguish, at an apparently indifferent glance, the light from the heavy end of a stove, or which is the best position on tho stairs—in front, or behind. Against these fearful odds the head of the family* stands no chance whatever.
Then there is the cunnan who is to move you. He is engaged the day beforo. lie says it is going to be so busy that there will be some difficulty in accommodating you but if you can havo your things ready at 7 a. in. he thinks he can fix it. You are up at o'clock that morning. At half-past 6 a full load of furniturels out in front, and another load is stacked up in the hall and on the stairs. Your coat is torn down the back,
