I certainly recommend Tanlac for the rrreat good, it has done Rufus Hughes, a visitor from the corn belt, Sundayed in Pittsburg. He intended to return home yesterday but a policeman persuaded him to remain over. Rufus tampered unwisely with red liquor and it was probably best that a copper took charge of him. Rufus was accompanied to the city by his wife and son.

but they lost him Saturday n'ght. On a pretext of having to see a man he managed to get away from his folks a number ot timest The man he wanted to see was an affable gent wearing a white jacket and who was skilled in Tie art of mixing drinks. Rufus disposed of a good deal of the fiery stimulant and then forgot to return to his wife and child who were waiting for him. It was while Rufus was searching for his family that the policeman took an interest in the distinguished and pickled agriculturist. It appeareil that the wife was city broke and familiar with the snares and pitfalls of the metropolis and she noticed that every time her husband returned from "seeing a man" he came back highly perfumed with the cologne-of the still.

When he finally disappeared she came to the conclusion that he had fallen into the clutches of a limb of the law. She called at Central station, where she learned that she had make no mistake. The woman and her son vers niven comfortable quarters in the matron's departemnt. where they enjoyed a simii! night's rest. The husband ami father who had been tucked away in the jag ward knew nothing of the proximity of bis family.

In the morning the ruralite was formed that Judge Sw eeney wou' i lile to have a little chat with ai'd a few minutes later he stood before the court. After inquiring about his habitat the magistrate aske.l the slianger what his object was in coming to the city and he replied: "I came to town to git a melodeon. Ye see yaithy that's my wife is nighty fond of melody and ef I do say it myself she lies some talent fer music. We never bed no instrument in the house except a jewsharp on whi often play a fw sprightly tunes. My rendition of "Turkey nt the Straw' with variations is considered purty fine by the folks back home.

"Well. Marthy got her heart sot on a melodeon and as we had a purty good season I decided to gratify her wishes. So I takes a roll of bills'from the crock concealed in the chimney and we comes to the city." "Did you get the melodeon?" inquired the court. "We did. squire, and it has been shipped by this time." "How do you account for your presence here?" "Well.

I confess I wux a leetle keerless about my conduct and I dropped into a tavern too often. Of course I had to lie like Sam Hill to git away from Marthy, -who is not disposed to look upon liquor with favor. I remember being lit up one time before and that was when I got this scar on my head. When I comes home walkln' in a sort of a haphazard way Marthy meets me at the gate. She knows what ails Bufus right away and she doesn't hesitate to wallop me over the head with a single tree.

It was a painful operation but a temperance lecture I didn't forgit. I never took another drop until Saturday and there ain't no explanation goin' to fit my case when I go home I'm glad I got the meloodeon, though." The court discharged the prisoner who thanked the magistrate and promised to drink more. He was about to -depart when he saw his wife and boy sitting in the courtroom waiting for him. 'Yes, squire." he said in a stage whirper, "I'm giad to get the melodeon. but judgin' from the expression on Marthy's face, just new.

before it fills- our honio with sweet melody I'm goin' to hear a whole lot of chin music accompanied by a rollin' pin." Rufus left the courtroom -s-ith his family and it was evident he get a severe roasting before he reached the old homestead.
