Recollection q; Old rlnlea In storhvilIs
Center. ".
"In Broadway the other day, said Colo
mel Calhper, met my old friend Co
lumbds SlilbitlinRhy Of Storkville Center,
Vt Years ago Mr.. Slilbitlineby kept a
tin store in Storisyille Center and made
pretty much all the tinware that was used
for miles around. IL was in this business
in fact that he laid the foundation of his
present very comfortable fortune, and it
was while he was thus engaged that he
turned TO profitable account a power that
80 far as / know had never been similarly
employed.
"About mile and thrce-quarters out Of
Starkville Center there was then piece Of
swampy land that was famous all around
that region for its mosquitoes. Maybe there
never were any mosquitoes that were ferc-
er, or more tenacious In attack, or that had
sharper and stronger drills In those days
tin working machinery had not been
brought to It's present admirable stage Of
perfection. The making for instance, of
such things as colanders and other strain
ers, things full OF holes was far more
difficult and laborious work than now, and
the remarkable thing that Mr. Slilbitling-
by Gid was TO utilize the boring power Of
the mosquitoes to drill the holes in these
strainers.
HE used to take tin blanks and mark
the holes on them from q pattern, and then
touch each N the spots with something
known only to himself that was great
attraction to the mosquitoes, and when he
had got lot of the blanks marked he
would take them out to the swamp and
lay them down in the mud 1t wouldn't
be a minute before every spot on every
plate would have a mosquito drilling ut It,
and once started n mosquito would rarely
let up. With the mosquitoes well known
pertinacity it would keep right on boring
until 1t had bored through into the mud
below.
"In the morning Mr.. Slilbitlingby would
gather up the blanks, or strainers as they
were then, and take them back to the shop
and finish them up Therc'd be now and
then n hole not bored quite through, and
occasionally one that had to be made a lit
tie bigger, but even with this work re-
manning TO be done upon them the mos
quito bored strainers could be produced
far cheaper than those made entirely by
hand
Profitable as this method was for a
time, however, the time came when It was
no longer profitable when machine made
strainers could be made even cheaper yet,
and thereafter Mr. Slilbitlingby supplied
his customers with modern strainers only.
But there are still in use in Storkyille Cen.
ter some Of Slilbitlingby' 3 mosquito bored,
hand finished colanders, distinguished by
the slight variations in diameter of the
holes and somewhat irregular spacing. -

They were trying the case fer the fourth
time. Three times had the jury disagreed,
and neither judge nor counsel believed that
the present occupants of the box would
come TO any understanding. The jury filed
out, and the parties interested in the case
prepared themselves for long walt What
was their surprise when, ten minutes after
retiring, the jury signifled their readiness
TO announce a verdict. When the verdict
had been given and the excitement some
what quieted down, the judge turned to
the jury
Gentlemen, he remarked, this may
be an unprecedented act on my part but 1
want to express TO you my appreciation of
the willingness with which you came to an
agreement When / remember that three
previous iuries spent at least six days in
determining that they couldn harmonic,
the promptness with which you agreed
stands out in most agreeable contrast"
1--WE didn't have any trouble about agree
ing" said the smiling foreman, and his
IL confrcres smiled with him, cas- soon as
we had established one point, your honor. {"
"And what point was that" inquired
the judge
"a very simple one, your honor. 1t
didn't take us five minutes TO find out that
every man of the IL rode the same wheel. +"
