DISCORDS.

When there is no garden to make man knows how. Straws and straw (hats show which way the wind blows. Somehow, we seldom hear the poor talking about the blessings ol poverty. There are always a lot of fellows who would like to see the man at the top fall off. Out in lowa a woman had been deaf and dumb for seven years. One day the family mule kicked a dishpan through the kitchen window and the woman said “Drat that mule” and has been . talking ever since. The farmer took the mule to town and traded him for a pound of tobacco and a rabbit’s foot. It beats all how some men are continuously out of luck. *
