In this city recently the possessOr of
q diamond ring requested a friend to
take the ring to a reputable house and
borrow $40 upon it, The friend COM
piled and soon returned with the mon
ey. The ring was placed in the safe by
the man who furnished the cash, there
to remain until it should be redeemed
Later on No. ?, who pawned the ring
for No. /, concluded that he would like
to have $40, and as the ring was val
liable one he returned to the man with
the safe and asked for the money, which
was readily furnished, the safe man
suppOsing the ring belonged to No. 2,
the man who pawned it. Nos. / and
now had $40 each, provided they had
not spent it. which is more than likely
Later on it happened that the safe man
went home for the night, and his place
was taken by another The second safe
man knew nothing about the transac-
tions of the first safe man concerning
the diamond ring When another man
mo. 81 presented himself and courteous
" stated that he had left a ring III the
charge of the first safe man and desired
to get it, the second safe man, being
convinced that the ring belonged to No
3, handed out the glittering circle CT
gold without unnecessary delay No 3,
on obtaining possession of the ring,
found that he also needed some money,
and at once. He therefore lost no time
in putting up the ring at his uncle's
for an equivalent in coin Of the realm.
The result: The first safe man is out
$40. No. ! is out diamond ring and
owes $40. No. 2 is ahead $40. No 3 is

years standing. Mr.. Boyes recently fed
the dogs in the presence of an Examiner

reached the prize first, took it in his

but he viii eat them if Nellie does, =
said Mr.. Boyes- you must not imag-

it was a turnip.
As intimated by Mr.. Boyes, Paddy

Temperance
LANSING, Mich, Oct 23.-The Baptist
state convention came near breaking up
il = row over the temperance question.
After very stormy session the radicals
succeeded in securing the adoption of
resolutions favoring the prohibition Of
the liquor traffic in this state.
The report Of the committee on
temperance, which was read by
Rev Wilson Whitney, Of Ad-
rian, said that prohibition was inn
practicable aud that temperance
could be best promoted by the rigid on
forcefnent Of the license laws and the
education Of the people in the roper
channels. Many women and not few
men were extremely indignant because
Of the language Of the report.
Two or three delegates. less radical
than the rest, endeavored to show that
great many people believed prohibitio
TO be impracticable because it is never
enforced, and its effect is to promote
disregard for the laws Of the country
Their efforts, however, were Of no avail.
The convention not only voted down the
report Of the committee. but adopted the
strong prohibition resolutions IN its
nlacn.
