Made Him Indignant.

An old fellow stood' leaning on a gate. A young woman cautiously approached. “May I come in?” she asked. “No, you kain’t!” he exclaimed. “Ain’t you never goin’ ter let me come ?” “Never.” “Please.” “Go on away, now. Clear out.” The woman went •away, and a man who overheard the conversation went up to the old fellow and asked him why he had driven the woman away. “ ’Cause she’s my daughter an’ didn’t marry ter suit me,” he answered. “Didn’t she do well?” “No, she flung herself away, when she mout er hit the nail squar’ on the head.” “Don’t you think that her husband will make a living?” “He mout do that, but a livin’ ain’t the thing. The feller has got land an’ hogs an’ bosses, but the feller that I wanted her ter marry has got three o’ the best fox-hounds in the county.” “Yes, but has he got anything el e?” “Anything else? Why, blast yo’ ignunt hide, what do you mean? Look here, you’d better go on now, fur I don’t believe it’s a good idee to have you loafin’ erbout the neighborhood. Anything else ? Go on erway now, or I’ll set the dogs on you!”— Arkansaw Traveler. Clans twejjaid to have arisen in Scotland in the reign of King Malcolm IL, about 1008.
