l often heard him tell with all earnest
ness story that he believed to be true.
He said that when a young man he
lived in Virginia, and as stores were
scarce it was customary for farmers to
cut scythe handles from the woods.
They would select a very crooked
sapling and trim it up to suit their pur-
pose. BY some misfortune he broke a
scythe handle and went in search of a
new one. At last he found a little,
weakly tree that was crooked and in a
few minutes had cut it down and
trimmed it up. When trimmed it was
so crooked that it refused to lie still,
and began to roll end over end. Ben
nett tried to stop it, but it eluded him
and passed out of sight. Twenty years
later he emigrated to Kentucky, and
while out in the woods one day he heard
a peculiar noise in the underbrush near
him. Going in the direction from which
it came he discovered the scythe handle,
worn down to one-fourth its original
size, still rolling. 1t had crossed the
Allegheny Mountains and wifs on its
way towards the Mississippi river. The
old man protested till the day of his
death that the story was absolutely
true, and would grow angry if any one
doubted it. San Francisco Cali.

A Long Island Couple Who Found One in a

A New York diamond dealer relates
the following story:
"a few days ago an unsophisticated
couple, hailing from one of the flourish

way into my Office, and, after fishing
out small paper from the depths of an
exaggerated handbag, asked me to ex-

As yet had not seen Party's pepper;
but on the fourth day of dalliance, a
gentleman of fifty, looking very green,
indeed, about the gills, was introduced
to me by Parthenia as that dear rela-
tive.
Party's pepper was evidently a gen.
tleman; he was very quiet, he dressed
unobtrusively, he did not talk politics,
and he spoke particularly well, throw
ing in an occasional archaic word or
two, which gave certain special flavor
and picturesqueness to that clear, cold,
genuine English of his.

particularly, for my intentions were
strictly honorable: but-and it was a
very big but, indeed-I had no idea in
the world of the position in life of
Party or Partys pepper. That is the
difficulty about travelling Americans; it
is impossible to judge of their position
by their clothes, or their luggage, or
their talk. OF one thing alone you can
be certain: If an American man or
woman sports jewelry, save at ball
or big dinner, then you may be sure
that he or she is ''shoddy." There was
nothing ''shoddy" about Persimmon or
his daughter; the father sported a

American diplomatist.
That is So,'' remarked that gentle
man, sententiously.
Col. Jackpotts saw that it was no use
making a scene. He gave one vindictive
