Sir Henry Bessemer was recently pre-

he delivered an address. AT the close
the master who made the presentation,
to show how widely the influence of his
statements might extend. mentioned

proceedings had just been received, to
be sent to Ohio. Mr.. Bessemer in re-
ply, said: 'sThat such a note as has
been alluded to should be received from

surprised at, for there is no nation

A Spring Bonnet Against the Mission
NII III -.-L ares. ~. - Il ,

Detroit Post.l
He was lately married and had no
more idea what any article of woman's 8
dress cost than an elephant has of q
humming- bird; so when his young wife
gently limited one morning that she
must have a new spring bonnet he
looked pleased and told her to get some
thing nice and have the bill sent around
to the store, and he gave her good-by
kiss and said he wanted his little wife
to look as well as the rest, and went off
humming a Sunday school air. r
He had been to missionary meeting
the night before, and. pleased with the
sermon, had promised a liberal dona-
ton to the collecting agent when he
called, as he had announced he would
do Oh that day, SO he took 1925 and in
closed it in an envelope, with 'From a
friend'' on the outside, and then tucked
S5 in his vest pocket to pay for his wife 8
bonnet. 81 don't suppose it will cost
more than half of that. My hats never
do, and they last n Whole year, but per-
haps the gew-gaws may come to that"
he soliloGuized.s si;aS2 o-aiiT al
About 5 o'clock p. m, a small boy ap-
peared carrying box. and the lately
married man took the $5 out of his
pocket and asked for the bill. i--" '''t
..It's inside with the bunnit.' 'iii 5HH7
s.Iho master of ceremonies opened
the box and looked vaguely in. 1-sofi- p
81 don't see any bonnet" he said.
The boy looked Oh and grinned. Its
there" ne said, 's'in the corner; it's
q little un." o irs'rt 4pl s-rtt.huH 'f
Tho husband took it out tenderly
with his thumb and finger. 1t looked
like gold hOrseshoe-a hands breadth
of tinsel with a tri-colored feather. He
picked up the bill; $25! Phew! d'"e
The senior partner of the firm was
making up the days accounts, when q
frantic individual rushed into his pri-
vate office and exclaimed: ''LOok here,
Smith, look at thisn ~ 'i''7ii 'h''i i''
II see." said Smith. calmly, 'ft's q
new bonnet" .-uasu sisa .s4l 3nl
"Heavens! do they cost like that!
Why-why didn't you tell me SO before
-before-it was too latep'
..It would have made no difference;
that is one of Madame La Modes i'm
ported bonnets, you see.. l. know; it's
an old story to me. and if you don't let
her have it, now that she has picked it
out, she'll be wretched and so sciU yOu,:
it is really cheap at that price -see?"
He thought he did; he groaned and
walked out; then he took the $25 out of
the envelope and paid the boy and put
the IS in his vest pocket with the en-
velope and laid it away.
When the agent called for help for
the missions the young man thrust tho
Enclosure into his hands muttering
something that sounded like Charity
begins ut home," as he had found by
experience.

The Mayor of Warrior, Ala, notified
the North Alabama Railroad authorities
that the speed of their trains through
the corporate limits of that town would

You are entitled to the thanks of
all for showing how enormous are the
duties of our County Auditor. Our
State is an exception to all intelligent
States in that regard. From here TO
the Province of Maine. there is none
like it. His work is mostly done ut
home, by the farmers, and it furn-
ishes them very nice recreation !;
northern Illinois has the Township
or intelligent system and the southern
or unenlightened part has our system,
besides our assessment law has two
or three anomalies (put there for Il
purpOse) which cannot be found in
any other State east of here, which
needlessly doubles the Auditors work
in this regard, and if our Auditors
or Legislators wish to know what
these things are, will say i work for
pay. The fact is an honest assess
ment law is just us simple and easy
rs rolling off log while II dishonest
one has to be made complex 50 as to
hide its defects and SO with I'LL other
laws both temporal and clerical or
spiritual. just blow away the mist
which has been created by design
and all these things are very plain.
