STORIES OF THE DAY.
neeeher,s Farorlte story.


A correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat relates what he declares
was Henry Ward Beeohers favorite
story, which he never tired Of telling.
It may have been told before It was
the story of travelling man who went
10 church one Sunday and fell asleep
during the services. After the preacher
finished his discourse he requested all
those who wished TO 60 to heaven to
please stand up, and all arose but the
travelling man. An old lady in sitting down
accidentally brushed up against the
travelling man and woke him up. Just
then the preacher said: "All those that
wish to go to hell please stand up, and
the travelling man, scarcely awake, and
not knowing what the audience was do
ing, stood up. He looked around in a
half-dazed way and saw no one else
but the minister standing, bat
he finally said: "Parson, / don't
know what you are voting on, but yor
and seem to be in a hopeless
minority"

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Absurdlty of EleotIng Farmers


To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
SIR: The residents of Red Lion hun
dred are complaining about the condi-
tiOn of the roads in that hundred. On
account of the numerous holes and rough
surface the roads are badly in need Of
scraping and filing in Bnt, as the road
commissioners are all farmers. it is not
probacle that the roads will receive any
attention until the farmers are done
planting their corn, which will be the
middle Of next month This shows very
strongly the absurdity Of electing farm
ers as road commissioners They neglect
and delay the road work until their
spring farm work is done, in order TO do
all the work with their own teams and
hired men. 1t is almost time to stop using a
public office for such purposes. There are
numerous tax payers who would like TO
avail themselves of the opportunity of
paying their taxes by working on the
roads OBSERVER.
