serious chap, and having stopped at that

and the town swears by him. He attended

hand aud led him through the green fields,
where the girls sold him ten cent chances
in sawdust dolls. and beside still waters,
where girl sold him sweetened water
with sour stomach, for lemonade, from
Rebecca's well. The sister finally stood
beside him while the deacon was reading
off numbers. They were drawing quilt,
and as the numbers were drawn all were
anxious to know who drew it. Finally,
after several numbers were drawn, it was
announced by the deacon that number
fifteen drew the quilt. and the little sister

Mark Twain's Advice to soribblers.

Here are some words of sarcastic advice from
Mark Twain, which are often put into an editors
head by matters not wholly rnconnected with the
contents Of his letter-box: Don't write too
plainly; it is sign of plebeian origin. scrawl
your article with your eyes shut, and make every
word as illegible as you can. Avoid all pains la
king with proper names. Weknow the full name
of every man, woman and child in the United
States and the merest hint at the name is sufi-
Gent For instance, if you write a character
somewhat like drunken figure and then draw
a wave line, we know at once that you mean
Samuel Morrison, even though you think you
may mean sLemuel Messenger
How we love to get hold of articles written in
this style. And how we should like to get hold Of
the man that sends them just ten minutes alone
