The lghtning.rod man haunis our
county as he does the rest OF the civil
lied pertlon of the country; and al-
though occasionally he secured u victim.
sometimes it happens that he gets
worsted in his attempts to beguiie his
iellow.men. Such was his fate upon
recent occasion in our village.
The other day q lightning rod man
drove up in front of handsome edifice
standing in the midst of trees and
shrubs in MiIburg, ard spoke to Mv.
Potts, who Was sitting on the steps in
tont. lie accosted Potts Is the owner
o the residence. anc said:
81 scr you have no lightning rods on
this house"
no" said Potts.
Are You Ii ~ to put any on?"
"Well, hadn't thought OF IT," replied
Pots.
You ought to. A tall building like
this il very much exposed. I'D ike to
run YOU up o'ie of my rods; twisted
steel, glass tenders, nickle plated tips
everything complete. May l put up
onr to show you? I'll do the job cheap"
"Certhniv YOU may, fyou want to.
| haven't the slightest osJectlon," said
Potts.
During the next half hour the man
had his ladders up and Ills assistants at
work and al that tiu,e the job Was done.
tie called Potts out IN the yard To ad-
mire it. He SAID IL Potts:
Now that Is aii we'll enough; but II Il

'rnnl's true," said rotts; 1T would
be better"
''l'lI put another, shall II" asked the
min.
"Why, ofcourse, il you think it BEST"
said Potts.
Accordingly the man went to work
again. ami soon had the rod in its place.
That's first rate job" he said to
Potts az they both stood eyeing it. II
like such man as you are. Big hearted,
liberal, not afraid TO put dollar down
for good thing, There's some pleasure
in dealin' with you. like you so much
that I'd put couple more rois on that
house, on the north end and ono on the
south, for almost notbin.'
1T would make things safer, sup
pose," said Potts.
Certainly il il, would. I'd better do it.
hadn't |. hey?
Just as you think would be proper"
said Potts.
So the man ran up two more rods,
and then he came down and said Ia
Potts, There! that's done. Now lett
settle up."
''Uo WHAT"
"Why, the jobs finished and now I'll
take my money"
"You don't expect me to pay you. I
hope?'
''Of course I do. Didn't You tell me
TO pnt those rolls on your houss?"
my housew shouted Potts. Thunder
and hghtning!" never ordered you te
put those rods up. IL would have been
ridiculous. Why, man, this is the court
house, and I'm here waiting for thu
court to assemble. Pun on the jury. You
seem 10 DO anxious to rus out your

let you 20 on. Pay for il! Come now,
that's pretty good"
The people VINO were present say that
the manner la which the ligi,tninv rod

to be the greatest medicine ever Of

torant it has no equal. Eclegm Con-
sumption Cure invariably cures
coughs, colds. Group, hoarseness, and
is indispensable to orators and vocal
lists, because it strengthens the lungs
and imparts to the voice fullness and
eIearness of tone that cannot be at
tanned otherwise. The Eciegm is
purely vegetable, and is natures best
assistant in curing throat troubles.
