A BUSINESS PARABLE.


Once a farmer had 1,S00 bushels Of
wheat, which he sold not 70 single
grain merchant, but to l,S00 different
dealers, bushel each. A few Of them
paid him in cash, but far the greater
number said it was not convenient then;
they would pay later A few months
passed, and the mans bank account ran
low. "How is this?' be said. my
1900 bushels of grain should have kept
me i'll affiueuce until another crop is
raised, but ! have parted with the grain
and have instead only vast number of
accounts, so small and scattered that
cannot get around and collect fast
enough to pay expenses.
So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him to pay
quickly. But few came. The rest said,
mime is only a small matter, and l
will 60 and pay one of these days. for
getting that though each account was
very small when all were put together
they meant large sum to the man.
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling so badly that he fell out of bed
and awoke, and running to his granary
found his |, 500 bushels of wheat still
safe there. He had only been dreaming.
Moral. The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and said !:
Here, sir, is the pay for your paper,
and when next years subscription is
due you can depend on me to pay it
promptly. / stood III the position of an
editor last night, and l know how it
feels to have ones honestly earned

Many Trials Of AN Engiishman with His
stenographer.

An Englishman who drops his his

from which trouble is sure To result un
less the copy" is carefully revised.
The manager of one of the most impor-
tant manufacturing plants in Cleveland
Is an Englishman Not long ago he en-
ployed young man to act as his stenog-
raphcr, and one Of the first things that
the latter was called upon TO do was
the taking down" of letter to the
managers wife, who was away ut n
summer resort. Boing busy man, the
manager didn't take the trouble 10 look
at the letter after il had been typewrit-
ten, but when his wife answered ii
there was "A hot time for the stcnogra-
pher. My dear Henry" she wrote,
what on earth do you mean by calling
me Hannah and our little Horace
'Orris" l will admit that this sounds
like you, but why do you make a joke
OF it before your employees"
OF course the fond husband and ia

so he wrote for an explanation, when
his first letter was sent back to him.
One glance at it and he rushed over
to his stenographer, exoitedly threw the
sheet down before him and demanded,
There, what do You mean, sir, by
writing my wife's name down IAN

"Anna?' replied the young man.
"Let me see. no, I've got it Hannah,
all right
But, said the manager, who was
furious, tits not 'Annah, - it,
Hanna"
"Well, there it is, Hannah-H an

Annah be dashed!' exclaimed the
ANNA, Hanna! Can't you
understand English, you blanked fool?'
BY this time the stonographer began
to see through the trouble, so he begged
off upon the plea that having had "a
swelling i'll one of his ears he had not
been able to hear very well. But it cost
him nearly IA weeks salary to square
things with the other boys in the office, |
