How Squire Bond Was Fooled,

Squire Bond. whose descendants are
foremost in Springfield affairs, kept a
general store in the early part Of the Gen.
fury out on the borders of Worcester
county, and like all storekeepers of the
period he sold rum. One old tippler
whose credit was very weak got badly in
arrears. and Mr.. Bond got wary about
trusting him. The tiprler came in one
day with his jug half full and wanted it
filled clear up. as he was going away
The liquor was poured in until it came
up to the cork. but when the squire asked
for the money it was not forthcoming
No pleas could induce him to trust any
longer, SO he poured ont as much as he
had put i'll and the tipple1 went away
The liquid which had half filled the jug
beforehand was not rum, but water

plays Of a man carrying off q redhot

Carmody Still the idea seems SO pre-
posterous that people never fail to laugh
at the incident when placed before them
on the stage. The nearest theft that l
ever knew to parallel it occurred not SO
many years ago when al habicual Grim

timers stove. The evidence proved that
the criminal had q record which included
everything from the theft Of u paper Of
pins and a wagon wheel down I'd u water
gauge Of steam engine and the stove
in question.
The timers stove was shown in court
It was d very Old fashioned large and
ung,aiEly locking affair. which one might
imagine would be the last thing that
would attract the attention of even a
chronic burglar. The top was cylindrical
and perfectly open for the purpose of

handle. Now, the stove had good f:t.

An IriSlaman's Excuse.

During a season of exceedingly cold
weather in frontier army post the
commanding officer issued an order to
have limited rations of whisky issued to
his men.
All went well until one day Il soldier,
an Irish-American, was arrested and
placed in the guardhouse for intoxica-
ton. The quantity Of whisky allotted
20 each man was insufficient to produce
such y result, and brief investigation
which followed developed the fact that
tie soldier had stolen the rutions of a
cCmTadr.

The Custom s,G Collecting "s'eter Pence.

The Custom oG Collecting ''Peter Pence"
The custom OF collecting Peter pence,'
Or Bone scot as it is sometimes
called, is Of ancient origin. IF the GUS
tom is fairly understood by the outside
world. it consists Of setting aside one
day out Of each year for taking up a COL
lection OF money mot necessarily pen
nies) to be sent to the pope at Rome, who
is supposed to use it in defraying the
expense Of the holy see. Chambers
Book Of Days" and Brands Popular
Antiquities" neither mention the GUS
tom, but have succeeded in tracing it
back to the twelfth century for GER
tainty. One authority even goes so far
as to ascribe its origin to Ina, king of the
west Saxons, who went to Rome in the
year 721 and founded hospital for Eng
lish pilgrims to the sacred city, tho ex-
penses to be betrayed by leach maybe
adult" giving one small copper coyne
each yeare."
This mighty collection Of pennies was
forwarded direct to the pope Others
claim that the honor Of originating the
Peter pence scheme is due to Ethelwulf
At Il very early date (the most laborious
research fails to locate these things as
far as the year, month and day are con-
cerneD the copper penny clause was
changed until the tribute was understood
to consist Of a ''silyer penny" to be con-
tributed by every family who possessed
land or cattle Of Il yearly value Of 80
pence. This probably means upon which
yearly tax Of 30 pence was levied

Each generation, tired Of the outworn
devices which furnishes it's predecessor
with excitement, demands newer and
stronger effects to stimulate it's emotions.
AS the devices of the classicist grow pale,
the listening public demands romantic
school with new forms and strange pro-
gIessions. The romantic school would,
ii some hearers had their way, be sue
ceeded in turn by a chaotic school, and
in the race for new sensation all vestige
Of artistic form would disappear.-Mac-
