Too Much Of a Good Thing.

An old clergyman kept his stock
Of sermons in pile in the vestry,
and it was his custom to preach the
uppermost one and then to place it
at the bottom of the pile. Being alb
sent one Sunday, brother clergy
man officiated, but he was horrifed
to find that he had left his sermon
at home. On looking round, howev-
er, he saw this pile Of sermons and
took the one from the bottom, as he
thought it would be the Oldest.
When the service was over, he plac-
ed the sermon. on the top Of the pile.
Next Sunday the rector preached
the sermon which was on the top of
the heap, as was his custom. When
he was leaving the church, he asked
the sexton what he thought Of the
sermon and was shocked with the
following reply: well, it was good,
sir, and after hearing it for three
Sundays we have it off by heart

Doctors are sometimes more con-

become very much embarrassed and
who was overworked and overwor-
ried went to a celebrated specialist

ton.

1t Won't Kill Them.

: We often hear the expression that
rural free delivery will kill your town.
When pressed for reason for maxi
ing such statement the answer invar-
iably is the farmer won't come to
town." Rural delivery is rapidly be-
coming genera, and the very best
towns are the first to get it..
Towns that have had it two years or
more would be very 10th to give it up.
Of the thousands of towns having ru-
raj delivery we haYe not as yet heard
of a single death. Free delivery will
not disturb trade relations in the least.
Farmers will come to town when
ever they have business that same as
they have always done.DaiIy commu-
nieation however,isgoing to bring the
town and the rnral districts into clos
er relation to mutual benefit.

Stories illustrating the Rivalry That
Exists Among Them.


The development of the steel in

are men who started without cent.
Of course the fact that they have
become wealthy by their own eff
forts is greatly to their credit, but
it does not help them in spending
their money. Besides, there is a
great deal of rivalry among them
and much striving to outdo each
other.
A story is told of two rival men
Of millions who have fine houses in
Pittsburgs Fifth avenue. One of
the rich men heard that the other
was having two electric elevators
installed in his house. He tele-
graphed to a New York firm for four
house elevators. A man was sent
out to draw the plans. !,
"But where on earth are you go
ing to put all these elevators?" he
asked in amazement when he looked
over the architects plans.
81 don't care where you put
them, " replied the rich, man. "Put
them anywhere, but put them. Smith

house, and I'm going to go him two

A Lazy King.

George IV. was mere puppet Of
a king. His servants came in to
open his window curtains at 6 or Z
in the morning. He breakfasted in
bed, read the morning newspapers
through, transacted what business
was brought to him and then took
a long doze Of three or four hours.
At 6 in the afternoon he rose, dress
ed for dinner and returned to bed
again between 10 and II.
Being unable to sleep much, he
found pleasure in ringing for the
servants, ringing his bell forty
times a night. If he wished to know,
the hour, instead Of looking at his
watch he rung for a servant. If he
wished glass Of water, instead of
reaching his hand for it he rung
