An OLD Time ReGident or storEyiIIe Centre who
Was Lazy ana Thrifty. Too.

"one OF the wealthiest of the old time resi-
dents OF Storkyille Centre" said Col. Callipcr,
" was at the same time one of the --latest. This
may seem like a contradiction, but the money
was left 70 him by an uncle. Tho uncle was a
miserly sort OF man. who liked to accumulate
money, and loved to gloat over IL. He put most
OF his money into bonds. and bought coupon
bonds OF small denominations, so that the pile
wo2ld be bigger TO look at, and there would bo
mort, coupons TO cut off. The old mans chief
delight III life was In cutting of these coupons.
II don't suppose that ono needs TO he misery,
though, TO Ind enjoyment In such work 10 that.
AS a matter OF fact, know or very few people,
whatever their condition in life. or their tenn.
permanent, who would not find pleasure in plying
the coupon shears. Not so, however. with Silas
his name was Silas Saggleby-he was too lazy
even for that no used 10 hire a man To cut OIL the
coupons for him. But the first thing he did after
coming inlo the property was To change all The
lille TO dis into the fewest possible bR ones, so
That there would be fewer coupons to cut and he
could get the work done for the smallest posi-
bic amount. So you see that. lazy as he MAS,

Last week = divine from Chicago lectured before

was long drawn out. and he became conscious OF the
fact, he said, that an audience might have too much
of good thing, like the man who bought = pair OF
ready'made trousers that were ak inches TOO long
He did not discover this until he had taken them
home and tried them on. Then he asked his witeto
cut on SIX inches from the legs. The wife was about
TO go to prayer meeting.
I'm no tailor she said. with n toss OF her head,
az abe crossed the threshold. 81 know nothing
about shortening trousers.' The mans sister and
mother overheard the convorSAtion. and In their
hearts pitied him.
Johns wife don't treat him right" said the
mother while his sister was in the parlor entertain
ing a caller. "rn Just nx up those troussu.' She cut
on six inches and then folded them up Just as they
oame from the store. intending that he should have q
pleasant surprise the next morning.
After the sisters caller was gone she got 70 think
ing OF Johns ungrateful wife. Poor fellow" said
abe. " l must fix those trousers for him." She like
wise cut on six inches, and then rolled them up again
as neatly as when they came out OF the store.
Now, It happened that Mrs. John was touched az the
prayer meeting. and on her way home got 70 think.
ing what n good husband Mr.. John was. how thought
full and considerate he had always been. and how he
had often sacrificed his own pleasure and comfort for
hers, and her heart was smitten with remorse.
81 will not sleep this night" said she. " until I
have nxed the dear fellows trousers"
Once again the shears werc applied. and six inches
mors were cut away from the bottom of the legs.
Johns dismay was great In the morning when he
put the trousers on again, expecting to roll them up
London fashion at the bottom.

A clergyman noted for his skin and success In rails.

the work OF stirring up the audience to the requisite
pitch OF enthusiasm had begun. Subscriptions rose
rapidly to $500, then to S4oo. and. after considerable
effort, to $500, where they stuck. In vain the visit-

following: ,' " ,'
From the lynching incident at
Urbsns, Ohio, no shameful
element appears to have been alb
sent, no disgusting feature omitted.
The Sheriff was an imbecile. the
Mayor an ass, the commandant of
the military guard vacillatipg
simpleton; the male inhabitants
of the town were maniacs, their
females wild beasts, the soldiers
towards. The conduct of these
gentry was especially and con-
spicuously disgraceful. After

Of their duty they threw

! sneaked out singly in disguise
and took to the fields. The com
pany that came to reinforce them
turned back and went home at the
first evidence Of disfavor on the
part of the savages whom they
had come to kill, ought to have
killed and should have found q
refined delight in killing. The
Sheriff went into hiding, and is
now protesting his responsibility
for the only honorable feature of
the incident, the command to fire.
As to the harangue-outang Mayor,
he advised the reinforcements to
battle the angel Of death and cheat
the worthy graveworm by going
home. His understanding of the
use and purpose of a soldiers rife
would make good reading; like
the peacocking showofficers OF

device for preventing the effusion
