ments in Aberdeen, the Granite City"
81 had heard" he says, "of the canny
folk of Aberdeen, and my experience,
short though it was, proved that rumor
had rightly estimated the character of
the people. The streets are granite,
the houses are granite, and the inhab-
itants are granite, and when they have
a granite baby they give it ball of
ante for fear 1t should break any
other toy.
81 had a granite landlady, and one
day when | was going fishing her
son volunteered to accompany me.
provided the lunch, the rods and the
lines; he provided the worms-dug
them up in a neighbours garden with a
borrowed spade. caught 16 trout; he
ate the lunch and broke my best rod
When we got home, | made present

and asked her to cook the other two
for my tea. She did and charged me
threepence for the dripping in which
they were fried!'-London Answers.

own epigram. A hustling young New
Yorker who was recently established
in a branch of the. oil business had set
ont to get the patronage Of certain
firm The head Of the concern was re-
luctant TO make a change.
"The oil we have been getting has
not been unsatisfactory" said he, 'and
fail to see why we should make a
change. Are there any extra induce
ments you can offer? How do you pro-
pose to improve on the old quality?"
"In this way" was the prompt an
swer. IL propose to give the business
my personal attention. intend to put
some OF my brains into every barrel OF
oil we send out"
The rejoinder pleased the old gentle
man, and he became customer.
A few months later the hustling
young man was obliged to make jour
ney, and in his absence, through some
oversight, the quality of oil was allow
ed to deteriorate. 1t was quickly noted
and a letter on file In the Office records
one of the protests. 1t reads: "Gentle
men-When we were induced to use
your product, we were assured thai

Men m Created

The glittering generalities of Thomas
Jefferson that all men are created
equal and that the right Of life, liberty
and pursuit Of happiness is inaliena-
BILE, have been the texts for many in
furious instructions. They are rhe-
torcal flourishes. meaningless to the
gentleman on the scaffold and in Sing
Sing who pursued the feeting phan-
tom of happiness with the jimmy of
the burglar and the dagger Of the as
sassin. Men are not created equal
physically. morally or intellectually,
nor in aptitude, opportunity nor condi-
ton. 1t is perhaps accurate to say of
the 1,50000O,0O0 inhabitants of the
earth no two are created equal. Nature
is incapable of uniformity and detests
equality as much as she abhors a
vacuum. One is made to honor, an
other to dishonor, as one star differeth
from another star in glory.-John J. In
