How the Organization Was Started

The Jericho Debatin society was

about an hour. or the 40 men present

awhile, and by putin in two votes fur
himself, the squar was duly elected.
Deacon Spooner was made referee, and
the other offices wasn't struggled after
TO any extent. There wasn't any de-
batn at the first meetin, but Souar
Iosyn made n speech of acceptance
which raised the price of butter in
Jericho 10 cents pound. After sayiu
that he wouldn't exchange places with
the president of the United States he
began with the year $50 B. c., and the
way he come whirlin along down to
the year 1900 made the glass in the

as lie hit Nero, brought applause as he
touched on Columbus, and when he
got through with Washington there

Aaron went on. He had it that C'a.
sar was poor and out OF job and dis
couraged when he happened TO find
diamond ring In n mudhole. He could
have got an advance of $50 on il at n
pawnbroker's, but he actually went
hungry fur three days while huntin I'D
the loser. Struck by such n display OF
unselfish honesty, the owner presented
him with $40, took him under his wing
and in time made him king"
That's another tally fur the affirma-
tive said the deacon land guess
III give Aaron the same number OF
pints as the rest. Alvin Bidwell, of
the negatives, is hitchin around in an
anxious way, and We'll hear what he's
got to say in favor Of dishonesty"
"Foller me back TO the days OF Julius
Caesar" began Alvin in his ramblin
voice, but thar was yells and whoops
and protests from Ebenezer, Jonas and
Aaron.
Its Gurus coincidence, I'll admit"
said the deacon when he could be
heard, but | don't see how we kin
help but follcr Alvin back II he insists
upon it. Everybody must have fair
show. Alvin, hadn't you as lief be fol.
Tered back to the garden of Eden or
Dan'l in the lions den?'
Alvin stuck fur Julius Caesar and
went ahead. He found Julius poor and
discouraged and liyin on turnips, aud
he related how the young man sat
down and thought 1t all over and then
decided to steal hog. He stole one,
sold him for SO, doubled his money on
boss race and finally made n place
and name for himself. Had he con.
tlnued to be honest he would have
starved to death and been buried at the
expense of the town. His dishonesty
enabled him to become king and to do
good to millions.
THE TALES are even so fur" said the
deacon as Alvin sat down, land Wen
affirmative side"
"Foller me back to the days OF julius
Cesar" began Philetus as he rose up,
and then thar was n row. 1t was
full ten minits before order was re-
stored, and durin that time most ev-
once and his coat torn up the back.
BY and by Deacon Spooner said:
Its shame and a disgrace to the
town Of Jericho to carry on In this
way. | notice that Lish Billings, who
don't belong on either side, has Jest
come in. Llsh, do you want to say
anything"
Not very much" replied Lish as he
looked around. I'D simply like to ask
if anybody here has lost this half dol
lar"
He held up the coin in his fingers.
There was AZ men In the room, and
every single one OF 'em, includin the
deacon and the squar, replied that II
was his.
"As to the Debatin society, it may
be a good thing" said Lish as n grin
spread over his face; but, rs to the
subject of discussion tonight, ! guess
you'd better drop IL and let II stay
dropped This half dollar has bin In
my pocket fur two weeks, and every
one of you was willin to lie to git hold
Of it,"
Then Lish moved softly down stairs
and went home. and after the rest OF
the crowd had sat and looked at each
other fur two or three mnits in an
uncomfortable way the president put
on his hat and said:
Instead of follerin anybody else

White was appointed to lead off and
tell how honesty paid him. Each
