when he's had enough"

that he never knows when he's had too
much. Press
One day an officer commanding an
English volunteer regiment met one of
his lieutenants on the rifle range.
The lieutenant was shooting, and he
called each shot as he fred. without
waiting for the markers to signal the
result.

There was a crowd of calamity howlers
gathered in a hotel rotunda during tine
great drought Of the past month, and
each was telling the other that all the
crops would be burned up and everybody
would starve to death. An old man, who
has the reputation OF being a man who
can always tell story better than the
one just told. put in his voice and said
that the present drought was nothing to
the one they had when he was a boy in
"Car'liny."
They all listened carefully to his Won
derful story of how so many people
starved to death, and how, when they cut
their bodies open they found that they
had actually eaten grass before they died.
He told the story through without in
terruption. but as soon as he finished one
of his listeners asked:
But why did they cut open their bod
ies?"
This was poser for the old man. but
after shifting rctlectively at spot OH
the wall. he said:
WHY, to see what they starved to
death on. of course"
Then he wondered what they all want
ed him to buy the drinks for.-Memphis

 Judging from the many expressions by the people, both in the city and the country. there seems to be want of confidence in the work of the com sti.utionai Convention. and unless there is a change of sentiment 1t is doubtful as to wh other this county will vo:c to ratify the new Constitution. Among the principal causes of discontent seems to be the inGisposition of the Conven- tion to abolish or lower the guano tag tax. and the registration feature of the suffrage report

Cashier Lewis Sentenced.

After a plea of guilty to the charge
of classifying the accounts of the Farm
ers' National bank at Vergennes,
David H. Lewis of Vergennes was SEN
fenced by Judge Hoyt FL. Wheeler
Tuesday OF last week in the United
States circuit court to seven years
Imprisonment in the house of correc-
tion at Rutland.
Lewis, who was so years old, was
cashier for nearly 20 years of the
Farmers National bank, which went
into the receivers hands last April
with shortage OF about 100000. The
cashier, together with Lieut.. Gov.
Martin F. Allen of North Ferrisburg,
and John W. Ketchum of Vergennes,
was indicted and arrested last May
for completely in wrecking the bank,
of which Mr.. Allen was Vice President.
All three secured bail.
Ex.Congressman Fl. Fl. Powers of
Morrisville acted as counsel for Lewis.
He made a strong plea for the prison
er and stated that Lewis had more
than made up the shortage in his
account and asked that leniency be
shown. District Attorney Martin re-
piled for the prosecution. Shortly
after Lewis was sentenced he was re-
moved to his cell at the house of cor
rection. He remained calm through
out the trial.
The cases against Messrs Allen and
Ketchum will be tried in Rutland in
November.
Lewis was brought before the Grand
Jury Wednesday togive testimony in
regard to the banks affairs. Bank
Examiner Fish, who discovered the
shortage last April, and Lieut.. Gov.
Allen, former Vice President, of the
bank, who is under indictment for
completely in wrecking that institu.
ton, have also testified before the
Grand Jury this term. Further in.
dictments are expected.
