SHE DIDN'T THINK SO.
A man was sawing wood in a baokyard. He severed two Bticks bb thick as your wrist, and then went into the house. " Mary," said he to his wife, " my country needs me ; there's no use of talking; we've just got to slaughter all these Injuns ; no true patriot can he expected to hang around a wood pile these days." "John," said his wife, "if you fight Injuns as well as you saw wood and support your family, it would take one hundred and eighteen like you to capture one squaw, and you'd have to catoh her when she had the ague, and throw pepper in her eyes." John went back to the wood-pile, wondering who told his wife all about him.—" Salt Lake Tribune."
