The village smartics recognized n treasure in Nicodemus right it way i bait to play .jokes on. It waa easy tc that ho way inconceivably greoi and confiding. George Jones had th honor of perpetrating the first jok him ; hu gave him a cigar with' cracker in it and winked to th crowd to come on ; the thin , explode presently and swept away the bulk o Nicodomus' oye-browa and oyo-lashos simply said : to "I consider these kind of scog'yars dangersoine , " and Boomed to suspoc nothing , The next evening ho way laid George and poured a bucket o ( water over him , One day , while Nicodenius wa swimming , Tom McElroy "tied" hia clothes. Nicodemus muuo a bonfir I Tom's by way of retaliation. A third joke was played upon Nice deinus a day or two later ho walket the middle aMo of the village hnreli Sunday night with a staring and bill pinned between his shout' era. The joker spent the remain * or of the night , after church , in the cllar of a deserted house , and Nice * emus ant on the cellar door till to- vard breakfast time to make stiro Itat the prisoner remembered that if try noiao was made rough treatment vould bo the consequence.

Hi- had a loblo now skiiloton the skeleton ol ho late and only local celebrity , Jimmy Finn , the village drunkard-a risly pioi . property which ho had jought ot . immy Finn himself , at notion , f"r kfiO , under great competi- loil , when Jimmy lay very sick in ho tanyard a fortnight before his loath. The fitly dollars hail gene iromptly for whisky , mid had con- iderably hurried up the change of ownership in the skeleton. Tlio decor - or would put Jimmy Finn's skeleton n Nicodemus' bed. This waa done about 10:30 : in the waning. About Nicodomus' usual bedtime midnight the village jokers came creeping stealthily throiiL'h the 'jimson" woods and Bimlmwcrs : owards the lonely frame don. There lat the long-legged pauper on his bed , , n n very short shirt and nothing norc.

Tlio other morning , while the pro rioter of the approaching circus and nenagorio was picking hia teeth on , lie steps of tlio llusa house , a tall sun-burned , bald-headed man , with > ino burrs in his clothes and a slick ol sassafras in his mouth , approached and said : "Bo you the wild-animal man mister ? " The proprietor of the circus ad mitted that such was the fact. 'Then , " proceeded the man from ; ho mountains , . " ! think I'll got you , o make me an oiler for a largo-sized California lion I've got. 'Good specimen , eh ? " aekod tlio circus man. "Good ?

G. for a little fresli air withou their getting grumpy about it ! " "There's no pleasing some people , ' said the hipprodromor. 4 'I should say not. Now , f'riiiBtanc 'bout three months after Jay got to b as big as n boarding house Kofa , I cam * homo ono day from a picnio am found he had caton up Aunt Maria who had been loft at homo to mini the house leastwise she was nowhcn to be found ; and an Jay Gould socmei sorter bulgy-liko and kept coughing up hairpins and false- tooth for a dai or two , wo kinder suapicioned th whole thing. " " Maternal aunt ? " inquired the showman , thoughtfully. , "Exactly. My wife took on dread fully at first , and wanted mo to shoo Jay right oft" . Hut I told her ho hat probably siid'ored n good d.-al as i was , and that an most likely ho'i catch rheumatism and things iron tlio remains , we'd better call i square. " "And did she ?

I argued that the pee animal didn't know ho was doin wrong merciful man is merciful t hia beast , etc. That smootho things over for another month. " "What happened them" "Well , one day I sent Johnny , ou youngoet boy down to the storefo tome sugar , and ho took Gould alon for company , Now , whether it wa because Jay was fond of sugar or not don't know , but he came homo alon and soon wo noticed a peculiar kin bulge on his ribs about as big a Johnny , and wo concluded that th road archer had marked another kidmoromy name i Skidmoro- > r his tiwn. The whole family took n like mad. and Mrs. Skid was about fllinvo the powder-keg under Jay ould and touch it otriicrself , when I olntcd out that it wouldn't do io esecrato our ollapring's tonihin that ay.
