The Carpenter Was Cheaper Than

A Utica family changed their resi-
dence from one street to another q few
days since. Among the household eff
fects was handsome square piano
the cover of which had in process of
transportation been slightly cracked.
When the tuner came he noticed the
cracked cover, and told the lady Of the
house that he knew of a man who
could repair it so that it would not be
noticed. There was a carpenter work
Ing about the house, and as the cost
of moving had been considerable, the
lady decided to have the carpenter do
the work, and informed the tuner that
he need not send his expensive expert.
Calling the carpenter she showed him
the damaged cover and informed him
that he could easily fix it with glue
The carpenter set about his task, and
the lady paid no further attention to
him.
A day or two ago she had company.
and was requested to play upon the
piano. Acquiescing, she went to the
instrument and attempted to lift the
lid. 1t would not bulge Thinking
that it was locked, she spent ten min
utes looking for the key Having found
it, she learned that her surmise was
incorrect. Failing after repeated and
strenuous efforts, to lift the lid, she
was compelled to forgo the pleasure
of entertaining her guests in this way.
When her husband came home he ex-
erciSed his muscle hut to more avail
After three or four trials he began an
examination, and found that the car
penter had labored under the mistak-
en- notion that the lid ought not to
rise, and had. accordingly. placed a
thick coating of glue between it and
that part of the piano upon which it
touched. To make the job undeniabIy
complete he further secured it by driv-
ing tenpenny nail through it.-Utica

an average value of GA cents. Arizona
in 1902 possessed Gil 1852 sheep, of an
average value of $3.50, while in 1894
there were SOL ,246 sheep valued at S170

there were only 3,Sl4,400, worth 90
