Bound to be in Time.

Tom Howard kept gun, shop. Tom
was frst-class workman, but distress
ingly dilatory in the dispatch of bust
ness. He would meet his patrons with
positive promise, which he would re-
new month after month, until at length
his shop became an armory of untin-
ished rifles and fowlingpieces. One
day his neighbor Smith, who had suffer
ed repeatedly by Toms habit of proc
rastination, entered his shop. Tom, f"
said he, g I want you to make a gun for
my little boy-a small, we'll finished
piece, and as light in the barrel as will
be consistent with safety" 90, yes, "
said Tom, Il will make it Immediately
You shall have it at once But, by
the-way, how old is the boy?" Well,
as to that" replied Smith, " the boy is
not born yet; but | thought I had better
get the gun under way"

But as the compact Dec % has never been enforced

no probability that the new will last more than

seemed to gain ground later the week. which together
with the verdict of jury in the Ashtaula
acoident-"Jor all of rhieh the railroad cOiapdnyS re-
