AN oBLIelne OLD MAN.
Detroit Free Press

Detroit Free Press.
Early yesterday morning a poorly.dressed
and seedy looking person about SO years
warm his hands at one of the registers. He
made no inquiries about mail, and after he
had been loafing around for two hours a
policeman got his eve on him and asked :
"Say, old man, have you any business
here 2"
"Well. no" was the reply.
"Any work to do 2"
"No. l kinder thought I'd lay off this
winter"
"Auy friend here"
"No."
II think you are a vagrant," continued
the officer as he took another look at him.
"Mebbe l am" sighed the old man.
"And l think I'll take you down."
"Well, I'll 60 along"
The officer escorted him down to the sta.
ton house, registered his name, and then
proceeded to search his pockets. Each one
PANIED out a "wad" Of money, making a
total of $1,000.
"Whv didn't you tell me you had this
money ?? demanded the policeman.
"Why didn't you ask mel"
didn't l say I took you for a vagrant,
and you didn't deny it, either?"
We'll l didn't know anything about your
city laws" quietly replied the old man.
'Pve got two married daughters, and l
came in to buy each of 'em a 5000 piano
for New Years, but if its ag'in any of your
laws I'll take the next train for home. I'm
Citing purity old, and l don't want no fuss
with anybody"
"Well. you might have saved yourself all
this trouble" said the officer as he escorted
him to the street.
"Don't mention it," was the answer. "If
I took any trouble on your account it's all
right and you needn't thank me. Pm
always willing to oblige anybody who can
appreciate it. Purity cold day, isn't it,"

days took an active part in politics. have
mingled with your fathers and grandfathers
and great-grandfathers on occasions like this
in days long gone in the past. voted for
Thomas Jefferson for President in 1900 We
had the same questions up then that we have
now, whether this was a government of un-
limited powers ora government of q few
simple functions expressly granted by the
Constitution. Mr.. Jefferson commended that
the great mass of the powers of our govern
ment remained with the States, while Mr..
Adams and his party commended for strong
central government to override the State
government. Inever missed Presidential
election. l voted twice for Monroe and three
times for General jackson. voted for Van
Buren, and also for Polk, Cass, Pierce, Bucha-
nan, Douglass, Mcclellan, Seymour, Greedy
and Tilden, and hope to live to vote for

perience would advise you to vote for him

A Farmers Offset.

A "hired man" who has been employed on
farm in this county for several months en-
tered suit against his employer the other day
Tor balance of wages, amounting as he claim
ed, to $32. The suit was on trial in Justice
Alley yesterday and it looked at first US if
the plaintiff had clear case. He gave dates
and figures in a straightforward way, and
seemed very honest young man. VIXEN the
farmer took the stand he said
81 claim an Offset for that $32. No man
need sue me for what honestly owe.
what is your offset ?" asked the lawyer
"He's an unbeliever"
"1n what"
"Why, in the Bible"
What has that to do with your owing
him $32 ?"
ut has heap TO do with it. l had six
hands in my employ, and we were rushing
things when | hired this man. He hadn't
been with us two days when they stopped
the reaper in the middle Of the forenoon to
dispute about Daniel in the lions den, and
in three days we had regular knock down
over the whale swallowing Jonah. The man
who run the mower got to arguing about
Samson and drove over q stump and dam
aged the machine to the tune of $18, and the
very next day my boy broke his leg while
climbing fence to hear and see the row
going through the Red Sea- 1t wasn't
week before my wife said she didn't believe
Elijah was fed by the ravens, and hang me if
didn't find myself growing weak on Noah
and his flood. That's my offset, sir; and If
he was worth anything I'd sue him for a
thousand dollars beside"
The court reserved his decision for twenty
four hours.-Detroit Free Press.

He Hadn't Beat the Record.

The witness who went to the Tombs police
court to testify to the good character of his
countryman, Patrick Magrath, charged with
assault and battery, was q trife diffuse in his
remarks and delyed too deeply into the gen.
ealogy of the Magraths to suit the COM
plainants counsel. Twice he tried TO arrest
the torrent OF encomiums and failing in it he
lost temper and said:
"Did you ever talk man to death, sir 2"
"No did We liver do it yerselfp" asked the
witness quite as tartly.
"Yes," said counsel with an absent air, but
watching his opportunity for thrust. "Yes,
