About forty-fve years ago Boston ex-

seemed in no hurry to dismount. He
was spoken to, but made no answer.
Upon investigation he was found to be
frozen stiff, and dead; his icy hands
still clasping the reins, which during
the latter portion of the terrible ride
had been powerless to guide the
sagacious animals. They with in
stinctive sagacity, had sought their
accustomed shelter in the stable of the
old stage tavern.

An EditOr,S Debt.

In the years agone. says the Detroit
Free Press, when Dewitt, Clinton Co..
was the county seat and right smart
village in the woods, or on the way to
be, the editor of its weekly paper had
some subscribers who paid in wood.
others in produce, others in fur. and
others yet who didn't pay at all. One
of these latter class was named Lemon.
but to squeeze anything out of him was
next to impossible. He had excuses AT
his tongues end for not paying, and
the longer the debt stood the more rea-
sonable his excuses seemed to his credi-
tors. One day the editor met him on
the street, and after a general greeting
began ON him with
'Mr. Lemon, you have been owing
me for two years.
Yes, but had bad luck in my sugar.

"Wheat all right?"
Eyes, all right"
"Well, if corn, wheat, potatoes and
turnips turn out good, and You keep
well, and you have no losses, will you
pay me in the fall"
The farmer scratched his head and
took full minute to think over it before
he replied:
"That's an honest debt and orter be
paid, but 1 won't positively agree to
square up this fall until 1 know what
sort of corn season we are to have!"
1t is needless to say that he never
squared.

wilmington, (Del.) Daily Republican,

Mrs. ADAM CRUDE, 231 Walnut street.
has been a great sufferer for a number
OF years from extreme pain in the feet,
something like rheumatism. She was
also very much troubled with eorns and
bunions. 1t was with great difficulty
that she could walk, and sometimes
when she would visit her husbands shoe
store or any of her children, she could
not get home again without assistance,
and often when she was walking along
the streets she would be seized with
such acute pain that she was compelled
to stop in at the neighbors on the way
until she got better. Some two weeks
ago she heard of the wonderful cures
st. Jacobs Oil was effecting and she at
once commenced to use it and expert
enced great relief Immediately. The
pains have left her feet and ankles and
the Inflammation has left the corns and
bunions. She is now tripping up to her
husbands shoe store and out to see her
children without experiencing any pain.

A Richmond (Va.) machinist named
Walker can boast of as many knowing
accidents by flood and field, probably,
as any other man. Years ago he fell
forty feet over the side of the ship into
a mass of scrap. iron, but escaped with a
scar on his skull aud broken nose.
Afterward he was struck by ligh thing.
Next he was shot through the body,
then had the ends of his fingers cut off
by circular saw, was bitten by mad
dog, was terribly cut with n bowie knife.
was once chopped in the breast with an
axe in the hands of man, has had an
arm and a leg broken, escaped drowning
twice, was once poisoned, once caught
his hands in some shafting and ierked
them out, leaving the flesh behind, and
only the other day got his nose broken
a second time, and his head wounded
by the breaking Of some machinery"
