In his lire. Ho was. also it widower.
lie vim exactly five feel, high and
weighed 110 pounds. These figures
will t-ruvlnco you tlint josepuus was
not nuuiborcd among tho mighty men
of earth. He had tried various ways
of making n living, nnd in pursuing
them he had got tho reputation of be
ing keen, lie had nt loBt turned pea
dlcr nnd was driving n horse and
wngon nround tho country with dry
goods, notions, groceries nnd tinware.
That's tlo way ho enmo to meet tho
widow Sopher, wuo uvea on a inrm.
Tho widow had passed forty, anc
was largo nnd bony and strong. Sho
was not hnndsomo. Tho only tiling on
earth she feared was tho law. Sho
had once been arrested for kicking a
mnn nnd had spent ten days In Jan.
Tho sheriff had mado ucr stay as
nlcnsant as possible, but sho had nev
or recovered from tho shock.
Peddlers nro n Jovial lot, and so aro
widows, and In tlmo these two enmo
to call each other Josh and Sally.
Things would have gone no furtnor
but for tho llttlo man's keenness. Ho
never mado n salo to tho widow with
out cheating her, nnd ono day when
ho heard that Bhe had como into pos
session of $5,000 in cash through tho
death of a brother Josepuus Baw his
way clear for tho future. That money
would sot up n Btoro In tho village,
nnd ho would becomo a thriving merchant.
Jooephus went courting Uo found
tho widow behind tho plow In a field.
As ho courtedsho plowed. Ho had
no objections, as tlmo wns money to
both of them. Josephus confessed
that ho had entertained a sneaking
nffectlon for tho widow sinco his first
call, nnd, though sho didn't sny much,
sho seemed pleased.
Josephus was told to call two weeks
later, but at tile end of nine days ho
wns back again. Ho said it was his
beating heart thnt fetched him. Ho
had cut tho tlmo down, but tho widow
wns ready for him. Soveral days pre
vious sho had gono to tho village and
paid a lawyer $5 to answer tho ques
tion: "Can tho law troublo a wlfo who
licks her husband?"
And his answer had been:
"Not if you do not lick him too hnrd.
Thero is neither assault nor battery In
what mny bo called n moderate licking.
Don't brenk nny bones and don't seri
ously injuro his eyes."
"I havo been thinking," suld tho wid
ow to Josephus; "I havo been thinking
nnd wondering If yon lovod me."
"Henveno, can you doubt It?" ho exclaimed.
"And you will always lovo me?"
"Forever and forever!"
"Then we'll sny two months hence."
"Ono month a week a day!"
Josephus know of a store to rent In
tho village, nnd ho wanted that $5,000.
Tho widow insisted thnt sho must have
two weeks nt tho very shortest, and a
dnto was settled on. Tho marriage was
to bo private nnd bo celebrnted lu her
home. In duo tlmo tho happy daj
enmo round n preacher and two wit
nesses nnd tho deed wns dono. An
hour later, as tho happy couple were
left alone, tho widow changed hoi
dress, rolled up her sleeves and brought
out n new horsowhlp bought for tho oc
casion. "What's up?" nsked tho wondering
Josephus.
"Tnko off your coat and stand out"
"For what, lovo? I want to talk
with you about opening a store in
town."
"Plenty of tlmo for thnt, Josephus.
The first snle you mado to mo was five
yards of roller toweling. Yon beat mo
on tho prlco and on tho measure. I'm
going to tan your Jacket for it!"
"But, love"- ,
She took him by tho collar and laid
on tho whip till ho hollered. A wo
man who could twist n plow around
in clny soil could handlo tho little
Josephus.
"Tho second sale," continued the
wifo ns she rested, "wns five tin pnns.
Four of them leaked, nnd you beat mo
out of 10 cents beside. Hero is lick
lng No. 2."
"nut I nm your dear husband!" he
protested ns ho squirmed about.
"Amf Hint's why I can lick you and
dodgo tho law. nero, goes!"
Josephus' hide was tickled ngnln.
Ho attempted to fight, but was tnken
by tho hair nnd his head banged
ngnlnst tho wall till ho grow quiet.
When tho pcrformnnco was over nnd
tho wlfo hnd got her breath bIio said:
"You sold mo ten yards of calico foi
n dress and wnrrnnted it to wnsh. It
was three-quarters of a ynrd short on

"I'll havo you nrrested for this!"
"You can't. That's what I paid sr.
