The Right Kind.

Everybody has heard of President
Lincoln's reply when asked the ques-
tion. "How long ought man. 8 legs to
be9" that he had "always thought q
mans legs ought to be- long enough to
reach from his body to the ground"
Somewhat similar was the answer
given by u farmer who went to town
one windy day i'll March Seeing several
men chasing their hats along the street
at considerable sacrifice Of dignity, he
remarked:
eff them fellers had the right kind Of
heads they wouldn't have no such trou-
bic as that"
''Do you have the right kind of hend.
unclet" inquired II bystandcr.
"Yes''
Don't your hat never blow off p.
"Never"
"Well. what is the right kind 2" he
was asked by several
why rejoincd the old farmer,
''the right kind of head is one you kin
push up into hat fur enough to hold
it on tight.
There was more in his answer than
appeared on the surface. The right kind
Of head is one Of the great needs Of
many Of us.-Detroit Free Press.

Pilins Wood while Governor.

''Uncle Dick" Oglesby was honest
himself and he believed in making 9TH
er people be &C. just 80 far as it lay
within his power. The principle Of the
thing appealed to him. and false rule
he despised. In 1865. when he was gov
ernor for the first time. he ordered 10
cords Of firewood from a farmer. who
was to cord the wood up in the govern
or's yard. The governor watched until
three cords had been piled. Then he
could stand it no longer. and. walking
up to the farmer, he said:
''You are piling that wood too loose
ly. BY the time you get it piled you'll
be giving me eight cords for 10. Now.
mind you. won't pay for it,
The farmer. evidently disguised at
being told how to do his own work, an
swered that he guessed he knew how to
cord wood as well as anybody, and chal-
lenged the governor to do it better if he
could. That "Uncle Dick would take
him at his word evidently never occur
red to him. but it wasn't the first time
the good old gentleman had corded
wood. and. governor or no governor,
ont he went. When the farmer had
brought the wood all in "Uncle Dick"
corded every stick of it over again and
got 1t into eight cords. Then he made
the farmer bring in two cords more. -

"God knows the donor and his sin, :"
was the line accompanying note ad-
dressed to the treasurer Of the United
States at Washington and containing
three crisp 81, 600 bills. The money was
turned into the conscience fund.-
1t ia not generally known that such
a fund exists; yet. although it is not
very important, it is a regular source
for the government. 1t is supplied by a
certain class Of people abnormalIy hon.
est. A man whose ideas of the niceties
Of conscience amount to insanity de-
cides that in some manner or other he
has defrauded Uncle Sam. He imme-
diately incloses the amount in an envel-
ope and eends it to the treasury. The
excuses given and the manners Of sign
ing are humorous in the extreme. Yet
it is evident that the contributors are
in sober earnest.
It has been calculated that if this
disease should become epidemic the
amount ON hand in the treasury would
exceed the output by some So, 600, OO0,-
600 per annum. A man who will do the
government full and exact justice is so
exceedingly scarce that the above men,

Birds eggs differ in shape as we'll

"For instance, the eggs Of the owl fam
lily arc almost spherical and are thus

warmth to each during the time of

is no fear whatever of any Of her clutch

sawmiH town over in Texas. They had
narrow gauge road on which logs
were hauled by pony locomotive. One
day the two forward wheels Of the little
machine jumped the track, and the crew
Of seven men went out to jack it into
place. AS the engine stood it had can't
forward, which threw all the water in
the boiler to the front end, and as there
was lively fire in the box it soon got
the other end redhot. This trifling cir
cumstance was overlooked by the crew,
who proceeded calmly with the jacking
six of them working at the sides and
one lying fat on his stomach under the
rear trucks.
"As the engine slowly assumed a
horizontal position the water ran back
to the redhot portion, and. bang. the
whole thing disappeared in space. The
six men also disappeared. They were
distributed in small sections over at
least ten acres, and there wasn't enough
left of either engine or crew to make a
respectable souvenir. While this disin-
tegration was in progress the man who
had been lying fiat on his stomach was
experiencing the surprise Of his life. He
had heard a. hideous clap Of thunder.
