4 Drink Of tho Liquor Will Turn AMI
mails to Stone.
There is a generally accepted theory that
no story, however absurd, has been written
that has not its parallel In fact or will
not have it's parallel In due course of time
If a story seems founded upon Imagination
and a writer fiatters himself that hs has
struck q new lead Of fiction, let him be-
ware how he hugs the delusion, since in
time he will discover the same old features
of twice told tale. When a short story
the authors name Is sforgotten-was going
the rounds about q sculptor who discov-
cred a chemical secret by means Of which
an animal could be transformed into u
statue through an almost instantaneous
process of petrifaction, nobody expected
that from Oklahoma would come ycrifi-
cation Of tho tale. Even now one feels
doub...i whether too much credence
should be placed IL the yarn about the
girl who drank water out Of the center OF
q geode and at once turned into stone.
Still, 1t might be true-in Oklahoma,
that land of easy divorces and Munchausen
happenings. If 1t should be true an i'm
petus will be given to geological research
and the trade in geodes will boom,
When pet dog is about to decease, We
can give him a drink of geode water, turn
him into stone and decorate our front yard
with his statue at small expense. 1t will
be a mournful pleasure to have the horse
we used to drive immortalized In stone
and placed upon apedestal, and ancient
maiden ladies will be steady patrons Of the
geode market for the preservation Of cats
This discovery may have tendency to In
augurate new branch of crime, as glass
Of harmless appearing water, clear and
cool, may be the means of making statu-
ary out of ones enemy. Should the geode
fad become stable branch Of trade, 1t
will be we'll to hesitate before one drinks
water that he has not chemically analyzed.
This will not affect Kentuckians, however.

The Philadelphia Record tells OF an
amusing occurrence at an auction in one OF
the rural towns of Pennsylvania, where
house, barn and farm were offered for sale.
Farmers came from all the surrounding
country with view to making day OF
1t, and some of them imbibed too much
corn juice In honor Of the occasion. In
the barn was stored between 30 and 30
hundredweight Of hay-primo timothy
on which the bidding started at 4 cents
and gradually rose, quarter OF cent at
q time, until it peared the market value
Of ~ cents or 8 cents pound. The auc-
tioneer was annoyed by the reckless bid
ding of a typical old hayseed who was 50
drunk that he could hardly stand. He
was determined to buy that hay, regard
less of its cost, and when the last sober
bidder feebly cried Eight cents" he
shouted "Tenl" OF course nobody would
90 higher than that, and the farmers chuc-
kled to think how their neighbor was to
be taken in. "Do you mean to pay cash
for this hay?" asked the auctioneer, who
began to believe he had . good thing.
"Waal, l reckon" replied the inebriated
hayseed "And how many hundredweight
are you going to take?" "Dunno as
keer bout takin hundredweight," saic
the purchaser "You might gimme bout
q pound" What the auctioneer said vii
long be remembered by the farmers ol

A Napoleon of Finance Meets His Water
loo In New Hampshire.
An itinerant corn doctor took posses
sion of the public square in Charles
town, N. H., one evening and proceed
ed to transact a business which was Of
land Office dimensions while it lasted.
But he closed up early.
Eggs were flying at him from all di-
rections, and he was sorry looking
sight when he reached the friendly shell
ter of the hotel.
He had imposed upon the confidence
of the unsophisticated, and the shower
Of eggs wns their way of expressing
their righteous Indignation.
The Doctors modus operandi was
something like this: He had q corn
salve that was unequaled and unap-
proachable in it's virtues. He wished to
advertise it and would for 10 cents give
sample Of the salve and a check. on
the presentation Of which later he would
give present.
The present" end Of it caught many
who were old enough to know better and
several children, but great was their
surprise when on presenting their checks
they we're handed Is cents as present.
This was making money very fast.
Each purchaser had realized 90 per cent
on his investment The doctor had ar.
tiole No. 2 to advertise and would also
give q present to every purchaser who
would pay 20 cents for sample.
Those who had bought one package
Of No. took two and three of article
No. . and were given checks, as in the
previous instance. OF course they
thought this man who gave them 10
cents for 10 would certainly give them
at least 30 for 25.
~ he didn't.
Ho probapi, tthou.ht be had gone
the limit, and when the speculstors
presented their checks they were given
q bit of taffy candy by the smiling doc
tor, who said, ~ told you would give
you present, and have done so," and
while he continued to give them the
laugh they began to see the "joke.
Several Of those on the outside OF the
crowd got their heads together and then
went to nearly provision store and in
vested all the money they had in eggs.
and the less modern they were the more
desirable for their purpose.
When they returned, the voluble doc
tor was telling his audience not to feel
bad over the matter. He had, he said,
travelled great deal and had 'got it in
tho neck" himself and never complained.
Well, just then he got it in the neck,
and in the back, and on the head, and
in several other places. There was a
perfect shower Of eggs.
Tho doctors smile vanished, and he
did not stand upon the order of going,
but got quickly. He mado $5 or Sc, but
he needed q new suit Of clothes. -Bos-

The waving corn was green and gold,
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up a drowsy drone.

Hcr linen, white as snow,
Bewtcen ii laid the lavendar,
Ono summer long ago.
Tho slender spikes OF grayish green.
Still moist with morning dew.
Recalled garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue
An English garden. quaint and old.
She never more might know
And 80 she dropped homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin
And fell In many shred.
Some went to bind q soldiers wounds,
And some to shroud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across 1t to and fro
Tho ghost of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.
