Sho was one of those Missy women that know more In a minute, than a limn knows in seventy hundred mid eighty-four yenr?, and she kept it constantly on display. It wna about 10 o'clock in the morning when sho bustled Into a family' grocery on Third avenue, and approached an Innocent look ing sandy haired clerk with a stub pencil over his ear. "Is there butter In that jar?" she In quired, tapping the vessel with her toe. "Yes, madam," affirmed the clerk. "I thought so," she said: "I can tell n butter jar Instinctively." "Yes' in," the clerk acquiesced. "Iaitsweetr" "Ycs'm." "Where Is It from? Western reserved" "No'm." "Nor" and her feathers drooped n little. "From Michigan, I suppose?" "Ycs'm." She smiled with satisfaction. "I thought it must be," she confessed. " 'Tisn't fresh, of course; butter uever I when it is put up in jars." "No'm," admitted the clerk. "It was made last fall." "Goodness me," she exclaimed. "AH that time and you say it is sweet yet?" "Yes'm. We guarantee it." " Tisn't worth quite so much as if it was fresh, is Itr" she asked, with a boarding Louse accent. "No'm." "What'H the price of it?" "A dollar a gallon, ma'am." She jumped as If a mouse had bitten her. "A dollar a gallon!" she exclaimed. "I never heard of selling butter by the gal lon." "We always sell that kind of butter by the gallon, ma'am,'' said the clerk, with guileless gravity. "What kind of butter is itr" she asked in a less coulldent tone. "Apple butter, ma'am,' and tho clerk bowed his windy head and waited for the storm. Detroit Free Press. Ovrr.llil It. An eccentric clergyman iu Cornwall has been much annoyed by the way the regular members of tho congregation had got of looking around to take stock of Jate comers. After enduring it for some time he said on entering tho reading desk one day: "Hrethreu, I regret to see that your attention is called away from your reli gious duties by your natural desire to see who comes In behind you. I propose hence forth to savo you the trouble by naming each person who may cuter, aud I hope that tho services will then be allowed to proceed without Interruption." He then began, "Dearly beloved," but Enused half way to interpolate, "Mr. Stub Ins, with his wife aud daughter." Mr. Stubblus looked rather surprised, but the minister, with perfect gravity, re sumed his exhortation. Presently he again paused. "Mr. Curtis and William Digglo." The abashed congregation kept their eyes studiously bent on their books. Tho service proceeded iu the most orderly man ner, the parson interrupting himself every now and then to name some newcomer. At last he said, still with tho same perfect gravity, "Mrs. Symous in a new bonnet." In n moment he felt his mistake, but it was too late. Every feminine head in the congregation hod turned around.

THI RELATIONSHIP PUZZLE. the nrewnoni Gift of a Tramp to aa Arkntiu Tnwn, It was at the hour when tho shades of night la-gin to fall and the curses wander homeward to root. The weary wayfarer gave a last gulp and saids "I cannot icpayyou Iu sctidl for your kindness, madame. Hut hero Is a little puxr.le which may servo to whllu away an idle hour. My father, left a widower at the age of forty-seven, married a maiden of seventeen, and Umiii the following day my brother, Lyman, wedded Iter mother, then a widow of thirty-six. In duo time u sou was born to each couple. It may afford you some little amusement in estimating the various relationships my father now U-urn to Lyman, to Lyman's wife and Ly man's child; also to himself and his own wife and child. You might also calculate the relationship Lyman In-ars to his own wife and child and to his father mid the hitter's wife and child. Hut I must bo on my way. Good evening." And he was gone. When Isham G. Hicks, tho husband of tho benevolent Indy, returned home some what Inter he found the wife of his bosom suffering from a violent headache, tho re sult of an hour's grappling with thu puz zle. She reiH'iitcd It to him and retired much earlier than was her wont. Aud Isham G. laughed aloud and declared that a woman had no head anyhow, and sat him down to work out tho puzzle iu fourteen minutes. When Mrs. Hicks nwoko In tho gray of the morning her husband was not by her side. As she stepped quietly to tho sitting room door sho heard him say In dreary monotone; "Lyinan's-baby-ls-tho-half-brother-of-hU father's- stepniother-who-ls ulso-bls- fath-er's-stopdaughter-nnil-hls-mother'H-dnugh-ter-nnd-oli-deur-mo-how-niy-hend-aches." The leaves of a huge scratch tablet lay about hint liko a drift of snow all covered with figures and diagrams, aud before him was a sheet setting fortli fourteen propositions of which tho following is u fair sample; "Thu older man Is the father-in-law of his mot her-lu-law and tho husband of his grandson's half sister, who Is also the child's step-grandmother." Wisps of auburn hair lay ttlxnit on the table. Hicks remained In bed all that forenoon with leu on bis brow and muttered drearily sentences like these: "Ills wife Is his baby's half brother's half nephew's mother's son-in-law no, that isn't It. His sou's wife Is his own mother-in-law aud mother of his grand sou's half sister uml it in I Ills mother-in-law is oh, dear mel" Iu the afternoon hu went down to tho lumlicr yard and told thu puzzle to the men theru assembled, and they all laughed him to scorn and then figured on the smooth side of thirty-six square feet of lumber and had three fights without get ting as far as Hicks had gouu in thu still watches of the night. A husbandman who drifted In to trade horses became Involved and beat his steed all the way home. The puzzle iiermeated every nook and comer of thu village. Two popular mem bers of the Y. M. C. A. slapped each other's faces over it. Colonel Hooks pulled the nose of a tourist to whom hu was try ing to sell land, and all the lioys in town fought over it. Onu John P. Smith attacked thu wife of his bosom with ferocity and a scytho and knocked her Into thu well, where she siccdilydrowncd. A mob chased Mr. Smith thirteen geographic miles aud gave him five minutes iu which to show cause why lie should not be lynched, whereumn he ile-clai-ed that thu demise of Mrs. Smith was attributable to divine providence, aud a stone over which sho had stumbled, the same throwing her into thu well. His sole Intention hud been to liestow upon her a well merited castigatloii for introducing thu relationship puz.lu into thu household, thereby assassinating tho peacu aud har mony of the same. This announcement resulted iu a pro longed and earnest debate upon thu part of thu string baud, which continued until tlru sheriff and nsso rescued Mr. Smith and boru him to town. Court was in ses sion at thu time and thu case camu up for trial on thu morrow. It was dark when thu jury was sent out. They canvased the case thoroughly. Hicks, who was among them, detailed thu puz.lu aud ex hibited his tally sheet. At 4 o'clock in tho morning thu door was burst open and the jury fell down the stairs fighting likedemous. Thustovuhuil been overset and thu building was soon iu flames. The book aud ladder company swirled up and ran over three gentlemen, two of whom Immediately assaulted two firemen, whereupon tho whole lxxly of the latter attacked thu entire jury Impartially. Tho alarm of firo aroused tho village aud the majority of thu citizens appeared on thu scene. Judge Ik-gad denounced the firemen for rioting iu the face of the de stroyer and was attacked by tho foreman of thu company. Several citizens went to thu assistance of the judge, aud threu men whom hu had fined jumped iu to help thu foreman, Aud thus the fight waxed. The fire was forgotten. The rival editors wrangled aud then fought, and their printers took sides. Thu members of the various lodges could not stand by and see their brethren mauled, aud they, too, rushed Into thu fray, Tlw Itev. .Mr. .Marks mounted a liltchruck ami cried peace, and a man whom he had mar ried ton harridan a week beforosiuote him with an ax helve, and Deacon Crouk ran to thu minister's assistance. Iu threu minutes nearly every churchman iu town was iu thu fracas. Thu rival undertakers fought. Kvury man who had a grudge against any other man tried to get satisfaction then nnd there, and all the debtors attacked their creditors. A gale had sprung up, and before the II r- had been got under control thu major pot -tlon of thu business part of thu village was Iu ashes. This threw many men out of employment and they moved away soon after. Others, seeing that theru would be no boom for many moons, departed, Sev eral capitalists who had been about to maku investments Immediately foldid theru tents. Thu grand jury found true hills against many of thu participants In tho great fight, and they all fled like Un wind, Nobody would buy piopeity ,inl thu real estate agents left. The number of thu voters was so riduced that a rival town secured the county sent, and with it went everybody who tould get away. The newspiipeis both went. .Mnnv of thu buildings were loaded on trucks ami hauled oil' to the new county seat. And finally a cych ie rum1 all of the remaining buildings nun put an end to the Hinge for good and all. And all tills was the woik of thcichi tiouship puzzle.

Mr. Gratehar lives In the suburbs, In a housu which has a slate roof. It appears that In thu course of some repairs to this roof last fall many small fragments of slatu were scattered about on the ground. When thu timu camu to clean up around and roll the lawn this spring It occurred to Mr. Grate bar that thosu bits of slato ought to be picked up. He hadn't lived in tho country long, but he had lived there long enough to know that grass wouldn't grow through slate. "After picking up about two hundred pieces himself aud finding that It was liack breaking work, Mr. Gratcbarthought hu had better get Philip to pick up the rest; so he talked It over with him one night at dinner, and Philip undertook, In consideration of the sum of fifteen cents, to clean up the remaining slatu on thu following day. It was understood thnt nil the money was to be withheld until thu completion of thu work, and that the V ot k must be done to Mr. Grate-bar's en tire satisfaction. "When Mr. Gratehar stnrted for town next morning he found Philip on thu lawn knocking a baseball about with great ear nestness. George, nged seven, and Clara, aged five, with an old grape basket near them, were laliorlously digging out and picking up the scraps of slatu. " 'How's this, Phllipr' said Mr. Grate bar. '1 thought I hired you to pick up thnt slate.' " 'You did.' said Philip, 'and I'm doing it. Don't disturb yourself. I'll attend to It.' "That night when Mr. Gratehar got home he found that the work had Is-en carefully und thoroughly done. Theru was no ground upon which hu could withhold payment. "'Hut,' lie said to Philip, 'I hired you to do that work mid you seem to have got George and Clara to do it.' " 'I sublet the contract,' said Philip, 'and when I get the money I'm going to pay Georgu aud Clara a nickel apiece. Seuf' "Mr. Gratehar did see, and hu paid over thu money very cheerfully, and hu didn't hesitate to say to Mrs. Gratehar, after the youthful contractor had gouu to bed. that lie thought PhH!p was u great boy." New York Sun. Not n Captious Man. A night or two since, as a policeman wiu making Ills way up Heaubieu street, hu was accosted by a colored man with the re mark; "I doan' want to seem capshus, sah Meed I doan', hut dar's trouble In my housu ober dur." "What sort of troublof" "Why, sah, iicull'il pusson i lied Wil liams sits ilar wld his feet on i tovu con yar.sln wld my wife. I's ordered him to vacate, sah, but hu refused. What am de proper coursu In slcli a casuf " "Go and order him out oncu more." In about ten minutes the man returned and reported; "I doan' wan to seem capshus, sah, but I dun ordered him out, just as you said." "And ho didn't gor" "No, sah. He said hu'd scu mo in Texas fust. What would bo your advice under such circumstances?" "If a man was In my houso und wouldn't go out I'd put him out." "Would It seem capshus, sabf" "I don't think so." "Jlst as you say, sah Jlst so, sah. I feel eartln dat I ketch thu idcah." Hu retired into his house, and the officer remained to see, thu end. It came in about two minutes. Three or four yells were heard, somebody's feet seemed to striko the wall, und then thu door opened nnd Williams flew into the street like a hah filled straw bed. He was scarcely on his feet before he Isilted up thu walk, and thu owner of tho houso came down thu steps to explain: "I doan like to seem capshus, sah, but now dat I've got my ban iu I'd like your advice about cullln de olu woman up to a peak! 'Pears to me dat sho sorter Incour aged Williams to believe dat I couldn't lick onu side of liim!" Kxchauge. A Nice Neighborhood. Not long since a family moved Into ir houso on Austin avenue.
