stiles explained to him about how to
proceed and the old man finally thought
he could worry through in tolerable
shape.
Ere long the couple appeared followed
By crowd Of citizens Of the camp. The
candidates stood up before the squire,
who began:
Feller-citizens, this yer man and this

An Irishman's Wit.

4 short time ago two Americans on a
visit TO Ireland hired boatman for the
purpose OF having sail. One Of the
Yankees, thinking he would have joke
al Pats expense, asked him if he knew
any thing about as.rology.
~Be jabers, no, said Pat.
Then that's the best part of your life
Just lost" answered the Yankee.
Thesecond American then ask Pat if
he knew anything about theology.
"Be jaosrs, nc" again answered Pat
~Wen, / just guess that's the very best
part of your life lost" said the second
Yankee.
A few minutes later the boat capsized
and Pat began 10 swim, and both called
loudly to Pat to help them
"Do you know anything Of swimolo-
gy? asked Pat
~Nor answered both Yankees.
Well, be jabers,H replied Pat, then
both ofyour lives is lost"

Crossing the Feet.

The way people cross their feet is often
indicative Of character. Neat people
usually put the right foot over the left,
while disorderly people generally put
the left foot over the right. Every body
knows how much character is expressed
in the wearing of the hat, and why
should it be thought surprising ia man
should tell what he is by the way ne
places his feet.

and was now almost nominal. In that
time the order had paid 81. 100 600 to
the benefieiaries of deceased members,
and had accumulated $5s Oils in the
general fund. During that period there
had been 494 new camps added to the
rolls The cost of insurance had not been
increased. and every feature Of the orders
work was in most satisfactory condi-
ton.
Head Consul W. A. Norlhcott. Head
Adviser Hiram c. hedges and Head
Clerk G. W. Halves were reelected by
accl9mstion. On the ballot for head
banker, d. c. link received So votes.
D. T. Thornton 81, and NJ A. Thayer
