During recent campaign in Ohio
the advocate on the stump Oft certain
candidate. speaking to an assem- o'age
of farmers, made the following appeal
to their good sense: t'Friends, let us
suppose that one Of You farmers has
hired man. Yon may feel q little
doubt OF HIM at the outset, but you
give him fair trial. You like him SO
well that you keep him another year.
And he serves you in such way thas
lie secures still another reengagement.
Isn't that good business principles"
The orator paused and smiled down
% his audience. Before he could re-
SHINE, the shrill voice of one of the
farmers had interrupted him. Say,
said the voice, show is it when the
hired man gets to thinkin' that he
owns the hull farln?"

Midnight HarmOnies.

The quaint old English church poet
George Herbert was walking to Sails
bury one evening to join musical par
ty when he met poor man with a
poorer horse that had fallen under his
load They were both III distress, and
Mr.. Herbert pulled off his coat and
helped the man to unload his horse. He
then gave him some money and left
him. At his arriving at Salisbury his
friends wondered at his coming into
their company so soiled and discom-
posed. He explained the cause, and
when one remarked that he had dis
paraged himself by so dirty an employ
ment he answered that the thought Of
what he had done would prove music to
him at midnight and that the omission
Of it would have upbraided and made
discord in his conscience. For if I am
bound to pray for all that be in distress
so far as it is in my power am to prac-
tice what l pray for, and, let me tell
you, would not willingly pass one
day of my life without comforting sad
soul or showing mercy, and bless God
for this occasion. These are the places
in which to attune ones conscience to
midnight music"

KITTIES IN A JUNKSHOP.
They Are Old Sewing Machines That Are
Bought For 81.

They Are Old Sewing Machines That Are
Bought For 81.
"Got any kitties?"
The junk dealer looked startled, for
the question betokened an intimate
knowledge of the jargon of his kind.
"Why, yes, guess so" he responded
when he could get his breath. What
the buyer meant was an old sewing ma
chine which could be turned in to the
sewing machine company as part pay
ment on new machine The company
allows So on an old machine, and some
times the agent or canvasser allows So
more out of his commission on the sale.
The public imagines that in some
way these old machines are valuable to
the company, but, in truth, they are of
use only as arguments in forcing a sale.
In the standard makes Of machines there
is supposed to be absolutely no cut in
prices, and the only way that a seeming
reduction can be made is by taking in
an old machine and allowing for it.
The company does this not for the sake
of getting the machine, but for the sake
of making a trade Once the old timer
is in their possession it is broken up and
sold to junk dealer.
The companies know, of course. that
large number of the families who
turn in old machines said to have been
bought by them before the food really
come from the secondhand stores and
cost only 81. At this rate the buyer gets
an allowance of $40, which, deducting
the 81, leaves net So. If there does hap
pen to be an old one in the possession of
the family, the whole $40 is realized
