A MILIIONAIRE's PET ECONO-
MIEs. While the late Enoch Pratt
Of Baltimore was MOST generous, he
had number of pet economies.
He was in the habit Of walking be-
tween his home and his bank, and
when some one suggested that he
ought to use the street-car, as the
fare was only five cents, he rejoined,
Only five cents. Don't you know,
sir, that one hundred dollars will
have to work nearly week to earn
that five cents"
He had grim sense of humor,
and the State got a lot of fun out of
him when he was summoned by the
county authorities for an increase on
his tax assessment. He appeared as
q d0wntrodden farmer. DON'T"
he said. "Put on us poor devils who
can only get forty cents bushel for
our corn. We can't live. 1t costs
me five thousand dollars a year to
run my place, and 1 can get no in
income from it. | have two cows
and they are both dry"
He went on in this strain for some
time. ending by telling the commits
sioners that the taxable basis is al
ready too high. But they raised his
taxes just the same.

EZEKIEL HAYES, the great-grand-
father of the President, was a sue
cessful mechanic in Connecticut, and
kept number of apprentices. 1t is
said that sometimes, like apprentices
in all ages, they felt that they had
long work and short rations. At
one time new cheese was put on
the table whole. 1t stood uncut for
a day or two, Hayes saying at each
meal, "That is a nice-looking cheese.
1t is pity to cut it,"
The boys thought this was growing
rather monotonous, and planned to
show their sentiments. The black
smith had one day got bar of iron
nicely heated, and laid it across the
anvil to cut the proper lengths. The
boys, with chisel and sledge, we're to
cut it off. But no hand was raised.
Hayes asked why he did not strike
One of them replied:
"That is such a nice-looking bar
of iron, it would be pity to cut it,.
Hayes quickly saw the point, and
shouted, with laugh, "Strike, boys,
strike! The cheese shall be cut"
