A LITTLE OFF.

a Detroiter called at Il livery stable
yesterday morning to secure a rig to
take his wife out for a ride, and he
made it a point to ask for Il docile
animal. While the horse intended
for him was being hitched up she
reared up and acted very nervous, and
the proprietor exclaimed:
"You needn't he u bit afraid of
her. She's simply a little off to-
day"
The citizen got into the carriage,
was whirled around the corner, and
nothing more was seen of him for two
hours. Then he came limping back,
and asked:
THAT horse was a little off, wasn't

Yes.

PRACTICAL ADVICE, WHICH EVERYONE
SHOULD HEED.
A rich man, in answer to Il ques-
ton how he became so ve!y
full recited the following story:
l will tell you how it was. One
day when ! was a lad, a party of boys
and girls were going to pick black
berries. | wanted to go with them,
but was afraid father woald not let
ne. Wen / told him what was going
on, and he at one gave me permits
sion to go with them. l could hardly
content myself. L rushed into the
kitchen, got a basket, and asked
mother for a luncheon. l had the
basket on my arm, and was just GO
ing out at the gate, when my father
called me back. He took my hand
and said, in a very gentle voice:
Joseph, what are you going to
do?"
$40 pick Lerries," | replied.
"'1hen, Joseph, L want to tell you
one thing. It is this: When you
find q pretty good bush, do not leave
it TO seek u better one. The Other
boys and girls will run about, picking
a little here and there, wasting a gooC
deal of time, and getting but very
few black berries"
| went and had q capital time. Nc
sooner had one found a bush than he
called all the rest, and they left theil
several places and ran off to the new.
ly found treasure. Not content more
than a minute or two in one place,
they rambled over the whole pasture,
got tired, and at night had very few
berries. My fathers words kept
ringing in my ears, and ] ''stuck to
my BUSH" When / had done one /
found another. When night came ]
bad a basket of herries-more than
all the others put together,-and was
not half as tired IS they were. L went
home happy. But when / entered ]
found my father had been taken ill.
He looked at my basket full of ripe
blackberris and said:
SWELL done, Joseph. Was 1 not
right when ! told you to always stick
to your bush?"
lie died a few days after, and /
had TO make my way into the world
as best / could. But my fathers
words sank deep into my mind, and
/ never forgot the experience of the
blackberry party. ''stuok to my
BUSH" When l had fair place, and
/ was doing tolerably well, / did not
fleaye it and spend weeks and months
seeking one j thought might be q lit
tie better. When other young men
said, "Come with us, anu, will make
a fortune in a few weeks" / shook
my head and stuck to my bush.
Presently my employers offered to
take me into business with them. /
stayed with the old house until the
principal died, and then / had every
thing, ] wanted. The habit of stick
ing to my business led people to trust
me, and gave me a character. / owe

A VETO PROMISED.

Whether tile day fixed for resump-
tion specie payment, January !,
1917 Ought to be adhered to, or post
poned, is a question now being actu-
ally discussed before the country
the Eastern states generally favoring
an adherence to the date fixed and
Western opinions inclining to a post
ponement. But if Col. Woodf0rd OF
New York knows what he is talking
about, this discussion is entirely SUI
%perfuous; the question is already
determined and the country need not
waste its time in debating it. Col.
Woodford, in his paper read before
the bankers convention Wednesday,
said: II heartily believe in Presi-
dent Hayes, because | believe that he

commended to less authoritative in
t~erpretations Of the executive mind.
1t may be well to leave the resump-
ton act rs it stands it may be found
prudent on the contrary to put off
the execution Of it. The question is
one for congress, not the executive to
decide it certainly is not II for the
executive to decide adversely to the
so,emnly declared will of congress.
In England the royal veto is never
interposcd to forbid a law passed by
the parliament, and it has grown to

the presidential veto should never be
exercised except to forbid an act
which the executive regards as uncon-
