Effected a Compromise.

In certain Maine town lives a man
who for many years has been engaged in
the grocery business, but receiving a
good offer he sold out to younger man
and retired to private life. But the rul-
ing passion was too strong to let him
long be idle, SO he commenced building
store on his land, which adjoined that
of the Methodist church. For time
every thing went tremendously and the
new store neared Il state of completion.
But just at this point up came one Of
the trustees of the church and said
Your store sets over on our land one
foot and it Will have to be moved" This
rather staggered the prospective grocer
and he retired to ponder over the ques-
ton and study the deeds of his land and
test the measurements.
In doing this he discovered that the
back of the church rested over on his
side Of the line three feet Armed with
this new argument he said to the church
owners, IF you will move your church
three feet | will move my store one"
This view of the case was a new one to
the church authorities, but recognizing
its force they made all haste to effect
compromise.-Lowis journal.

Persuaded to Work.

While in Cajamarca in the CordilIeras
was sitting with my hosts one even
ing at the door of their house Sud
denly there was great noise in the
quiet street, and horseman rode up.
1t was friend Of the family, who was
on his way to settle an account with a
troublesome debtor. When we limited
that a creditor wonId hardly be ordina-
rily received at such an hour, he touched
something hangingon the pommel Of his
saddle, and said that he had something
there which would settle the matter
His debtor was an Indian who lived
not far away in the country, and who
had promised TO make for him geo or 400
large adobe bricks in payment for some
small wares which he had purchased
two years before. He seemed perfectly
willing to fulfill his contract, and when
ever he was reminded of it would prom
Use to be On hand the next day; but lie
never appeared.
The merchant was repairing his house,
and according to the custom of the coun-
try had taken the law into his own
hands. An hour after he left us he re-
turned, calling ont triumphantly. Well,
have my man, you see."
His lasso was unrolled. One end was
tied to his saddle; the other was fastened
about the wrists of an Indian. | shall
never forget the captive's impassive face.
His strong features, framed in long locks
of hair, expressed neither anger nor as
tonishment-onlyp philosophical submits
sion to fate. The next day at dawn saw
him cheerfully at work with the air of a
man who was glad to pay his debts.
Curiously enough, when some time
later another man wished to engage his
services he declined the offer. He liked
his employer and his work and had no
desire to better his condition.
