Deacon Closes. he having site that he
wanted to sell for the proposed building
81 regard this movement as deserving
of popular approval and aid, " said the
minister. ut aims to secure wider
intelligence and better tone Of morali-
ty among our people. Every one should
give according to his means"
After the editor the doctor and the
banker had talked in tho same vein, the
lawyer proposed that they get down to
business deacon Close" he contin-
ued. "has desirable lot for which he
asks 80, 900. 1t strikes me as pretty
stiff price. but have no doubt that he
will make us donation Of $500 and
make deed Of the site for 81 800.
There was applause, in which the
deacon did not participate, but rising
reluctantly he delivered himself as fol-
lows: II must say that I agree with
what has been said in praise Of this en-
terprise. Our town needs it and there
Is no place for it moro desirable than
the lot have offered. OF course want
to bear my full share Of the expense.
"Since offered you this lot, the
deacon went on, there has been great
improvement in times Money is easier,
prices arc better and realty gets an en-
HANGED value because Of tho general
prosperity. will let you have the lot
for 81, 500 and throw off 5000 as a do

was glad tho rest did not hear. The
doctor laughed. the banker scowled and
the lawyer moved to adjourn in voice
that told the deacon he would have to
seek some other market for the lot that
had taken such long and sudden jump
in value.-Detroit Free Press.
