George f. Lane of st. Albans has an
old red pocketbook that appears to be a
very magic purse after the most approved
idea of the Arabian Nights, that Is, so
far as it is stored with lmitless odds and
ends of antiques. In the first place. no.
body can tell how old the pocketbook is.
1t is marked in ink to sell at flour and
six" four shillings and siXpence, and the
ink is Just as fresh as it was that day in
the misty past when some old shop
keeper or his callow clerk marked the
price with goose quill. The purse con-
tains, among other equally interesting
things, an SIS bill and s. bill of l77G,
redeemable in "Spanish milled dollars"
and issued by the Limited Colonies" :"
There is also silver piece of Louis XVI,
dated l716, that passed for dollar here in
those times. Some letters dated 17S1
which paid no postage, but were borne by
mutual friends. Another letter, post
marked in 1910, is not stamped but has
the postmaster's endorsement upon its
face that ten cents postage has been
paid, and that. too, between two New
Hampshire towns. This letter was sent
before the days of envelopes, and is Sc
curely folded to leave the outside blank,
and then sealed.

STORY OE a AVE

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams, OF
Manchester, Mich. tells how such slave
was made free. He says: "My wife
has been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed alone
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and
able to do her own work." This supreme
remedy for female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy
headache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medicine
is godsend to weak, sickly, run dowr
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
80 cents. Sold by w. II. Sheldon Drug
gist.

Rev. >. {. johnson, a former Method
ist pas tor at Mortified. who was expelled
from the Vermont conference at its re-
cent annual session at Newport for dis
honesty and lying in passing his exam
inations, has appealed his case to a
higher tribunal. In accordance with
Methodist polity in such cases, board
of triers of appeals composed of q men,
bers of three Methodist conferences in
New England. outside of the Vermont
conference, will convene at the Bromfield
str ct church, Boston, Thursday, July l3,
to give Mr.. Jchnson's case a rehearing
I .,ev. DR.. /. L. Frost OF Newark, y. j.,
Presiding Elder W. X. Davenport of
Randolph. and Principal w. NJ. Newton
of the Montpelier seminary. will appear
for the church. Rev. Z. y. Granger of
Burke and other clergymen yet to be
chosen will represent Mr.. johnson. At
the trial held at Newport, which resulted
in Mr.. Johnson's expulsion. the evidence
was taken down by stenographer. No
new evidence will be introduced before
the triers of the appeal but the testimony
taken at Newport will be in their hands.
The tribunal before which this appealed
case is to come has power to do one of
three things-reverse the decision of the
conference that expelled Mr., johnson
and reinstate him in full membership,
sustain its decision and sanction his eX-
pulsion. or refer the matter to the general
conference, the highest Methodist tri-
bunal, which meets In May, 1900.

From Forest and Stream.
A friend who was encamped in the woods
recently witnessed the following occur
renee:
A troop of monkeys, which seemed to be
a picnic party under the charge of chap
erons. came TO cross a creek by his camp.
They came along. travelling, as usual, from
tree to tree by interlaclng limbs, and at the
creek side soon found some vines which
made a suspension bridge.
There was considerable skylarking going
on in the procession, but the chaperons
marshaled all across the bridge except two.
These two had lodged behind trees and
palpably and deliberately got left on pur-
pose, and, when the rest Of the picnic was
safely out of sight, they selected nice.
narrow seat where they sat extremely
close together. apparently deep in CONVEX
sation and as happy as could be.
After some time the larger one spied
fruit hanging not far. below him, and be-
gan to reach down to try to get it. His
reach proving too short, he took a twist
around the limb and swung for it, but even
his tail was too short, and the fruit still
hung a foot or more out of his reach.
His smaller comrade saw the difficulty
and solved 1t at once. She grabbed the tail
the same time her own tail took turn
around it, let her comrades tail twist
about her wrist. and then. all securely
braced and anchored, she. reached down
until she lowered him in reach OF the fruit.
He gathered 1t. and in a minute was back
by her side, and they were eating the fruit
together.

The Changed Wheelbarrow.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In a frankfort mill there is strong
man. whose days go pleasantly by in the
wheeling Of great barrows of coal from the
coal yard to the engine house. A brother
hand suggested to him once that his bar
row was getting old, and from that time
the man began to beseech the office to give
him new one. His prayer was granted at
last, and the mill carpenter made him a
stupendous barrow, with an iron pan,
framework of two-inch pipe, and long ham
dies of massive oak 1t held 100 pounds of
coal, and he who hcfted it imagined that
1t held ton. The laborer tried, and did
not like 1t, but his Is an Irish heart and,
in order not to wound the carpenters feel
ings. he said it was the most perfect bar
row he had ever pushed But day by day
as he pushed it he disliked 1t more The
truth is that he had used the old barrow
for nine years, all his muscles were ac-
customed to 1t, and no other barrow in the
world could ever seem to him it's equal
The other day he solved the dilemma he
was in without hurting any ones feelings
On a trip from the coal yard to the engine
house. at the place where there is sharp
turn and narrow, unguarded bridge
across the mill race, he slipped, fell on hts
back and the loaded barrow rolled of into
the deep water. He Is using his old and
shabby barrow again.
