A MYSTERIOUS PILLOW. .
While attempting to rebottom an
old cane chair we decided to use an
old cotton pillow, or what we had
supposed was a cotton pillow. For
the past forty years I have bee
dodging that pillow, as it would
give me a headache every time I
slept on it. When my first wife
and I were married my mother-in-
law gave us some pillows, quilts,
and so on, this pillow being in the
collection. I never heard her say
anything about the pillow, and it
may be that it was handed down
from generation to generation. In
removing the tick, which was a
feather tick, we found a second
tick which was a mattress tick,
and to our susprise the supposed
cotton pillow proved to be buffalo

more children from four t</ ten
years of age completed the cast
for the pla^, and with only two
rehrsals for prparateieon the little
people acquitted themselves with
great credit. The patience of
the little folk, who spent somethin

remarkable, and the principals
acted their parts like little men
and women. The house was fairly
well filled in spite of the rainy eve
ning, and the audience enjoyed the
performance very much.
