Does the well threaten changer
For every ono knows that if there is
bad weather coming the well will let
them know it, sure as sure as can be.
They call the well up there the

Of the well. This we'll was dug about
90 years ago by the father of Colonel
Flint, who now occupies the farm. He
put it down 40 feet, but found no water
and dug no farther. Instead of water, a
strong current of air came from the
well at times The opening was cover
ed with big flat stone, and for amuse-
nent hole was drilled in the stone
and big tin whistle fitted into it. This
whistle had two Lonesome when the
air rushed up from the we'll, and diff

weather signals never failed. When thu

JUDGE NOT.
How do we know what hearts have VileSt sin
How do we know !?
Many, like sepulchres, are foul within,
Whose outward garb is spOtless as the snow
And many may be pure we think not so.
How near to God the souls of such have been
What mercy secret penitence may win
How do we know?
How can we tell who have sinned more than
we?
How can we tell!
We think our brother walked full guiltily,
Judging him in sef-righteousness. All, well
Perhaps had we been driven through the
hell
of his untold temptations, we might be
Less upright in our daily walk than he
How can we tell?
Dare we condemn the ills that others do? -
Dare we condemn?
Their strength is small, their trials not a few,
The tide of wrong is difficult to stem,
And if to us more clearly than to them
Is given knowledge of the good and true,
More do they need our help and pity, too:
Dare we condemn.
God help US all, and lead us day by day,
God help us all
We can not walk alone the perfect way:
Evil allureS us, tempts us, and we fall,
We are but human and our power is small
Not one of us may boast, and not day

JUST WHAT HE WAS THERE FOR .

As funny thing as ever happened
in IA court occurred at Napoleon, Ohio,
before Judge Potter and a jury A
case was on trial and an outsider seat
ed himself on one of the puncheons,
at the far end of the panel of jurors,
there being no other available seat.
When the defendants counsel arose
to address the jury he scanned the
face of each very closely, and natur
ally his gaze was directed to the fur
thest man from him, who didn't hap
pen to be juror at all. Glaring at
him he began:
Gentlemen of the jury, | want to
know what this man, (referring to the
plaintiff in the case; has come into
court for? What is his business?
What right has he here? What is he
seeking for? Again l repeat, gentle
men of the jury, why is he here?''
The countryman imagined that the
question had direct reference to him
self, and when the lawyer paused to
give due weight and emphasis to the
question, he jumped to his feet and
howled:
What am l here for, you cross
eyed cock of the walk? What am l
seeking in this here court? I'll tell
you in short order, you weazen faced
old sun of gun. I've been here three
days awaitin' for my fee and nary
red can 1 git. Pay me my witness
fees. sir, and I'll git out of here i'm
megiately."
This unexpected grafton brought
down the house, and the lawyer never
finished his able argument.

How 10 BuIId n Farce Comedy.

If the immortal Shakespeare can look
down upon this earth and see the meth
DDS of the playwrights of the present
day he must indeed blush with shame
for them Comedy keeping pace with
the public taste, has got down TO very
low level. Farce comedies, those pTOduc-
lions which seem to amuse most in these
days, and which. generally speaking. re-

way of dollars more than any other per-

The method. l am told. is fair sample
Of that by which most plays Of this

as an unwritten law among recent play

down "one-half hour of Mr.. -" the

The Rattle of Fork and Spoon.

Some people hunt their ice with
fork, which lets melting margin drop
through the prongs, and some stick their
small trident into the jelly at the risk
Of seeing the whole thing slip off like
amporphous, translucent, gold colored
snake. The same with such compounds
as custard pudding, creme renversee and
the like, where it is a feat to skewer
the separate morsels deftly and where
a small sea of unutilized juice is left on
the plate. The mOnotonouS use of the
fork and craven fear of the vulgarity ly-
ing in the spoon seem to us mere table
snobbery. 1t is a we'll known English
axiom that the fork is TO be used in
preference TO the spoon when possible
and convenient. But the people who use
II always-when scarcely possible and
decidedly inconvenient-are people so
thing that they do the wrong out Of very
flunkyism and out Of fear Of Mrs.
Grundy in the corner. II is the same
with the law of eating all soft meats
with the fork only, abjuring the knife.
On the one hand. you will see people
courageously hewing with their knives
at sweetbread, supreme de volatile and
the like; on the other, the snobbish fine
work themselves into a fever with their
forks against outlet and would not for
the lives of them use knife TO cut with
ease that which by main force and at
great discomfort they can tear asunder
with a fork.-LondOn Queen.
