Collecting a Debt.

There are debts and debtors, and to
get the former out of the latter some
times requires a good deal of ingenuity.
The case of livery stable keeper and a
poor paying patron indicates that fact,
and, as one is dead and the other in Eu-
rope, the story may be told, The patron
had run up big bill on the livery man
and neglected to pay.
1t amounted to $93, and had he 30
wished the debtor could have easily set
tied at sny time. But he didn't wish.
He knew that his creditor would not sue,
because such course, for various reasons,
would be unwise. Appeals We're in vain,
threats were unheeded, and the creditor
was at his wits end Finally he hit
upon scheme. He had his bookkeeper
make out bill for $3.50, and sent it to
his debtor by messenger, with request
for immediate payment of the whole
amount. Then he sat down and waited.
In less than twenty minutes the Office
door was thrown open and man en-
tered. 1t was the debtor, and he was
mad clear through. "You swindling
villainw he howled, shaking his fist
under the liveryman's nose. "What do
you mean by sending me bill for $500?
| don't owe you anything like that
amount, and I'll not pay it. I'll have
you understand that I'm too fly for you.
Here's ninety-three dollars, and you'n
not get q cent more.
Saying this he threw the money on
the desk, and glared at the livery man
with hatred in his eye. No one an
Swered him, however, and then he de-
manded a receipt. 1t was given him in
silence, he left the Office banging the
door after him, and then the-liveryman
chuckled. Then he laughed Then he
roared. His scheme was a success, and
the bill was paid.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A shade of disappointment mirrored

in tone which showed that he felt ag-

The Power of the Electric Current

Professor Elihu Thompson is led to
conclude, after long and elaborate ex-
Fermentation, that the alternating cur
rents power to destroy life is in inverse
ratio to the number of alterations per
second. 1t took, for example, twenty
times as strong current to kill dog
when the alterations were 4,500 per
second as when they were 100 per sec
ond. When the alterations were 800
per second the current was only half as
dangerous to life as when the alterna-
tions were 120.-Exchange.
