Ezra Kendall tried to get James

insisted that he had enough to wor-
nv about without looking for any
more trouble. So Kendall went IN

play called ''The Vinegar Buyer.
In speaking of the project recently
Riley said:
al hope that THE Vinegar Buy
err if it is to be built around my
old friend Jap Miller, will be thor
oughly Hoosier in every respect.
Jap, YOU know, owns a little store
in BROOKLYN. Everybody respects
him. and he is the soul of honesty.
One day one Of the townspeople
went to Jap and asked him to save
SO or $40 for him. Jap took the
money, and the fellow went out and
told his neighbors.
"The next day four or five other
men appeared with small sums OF
money and asked Jap to save it for
them. The old fellow agreed and
was soon in possession of about
$120, which began to worry him
He took the money from his cash
drawer and hid it under the mat
tress of his bed at home. He had
no safe.

The Rat and the Fifty Dollar Dog.

ne Rat ana tne FlIty botdT Ivy
State Senator Grady is credited
with a story worthy to be ranked
among the best told Of the late Will
liam r. Travers, although the STAN
merer in this case was another than
the witty broker. His stable was
overrun with rats, and his fondness
for sport made him seek a dog fan
cier rather than a dealer in ferrets.
A fine looking rat terrier, for which
$50 was asked, was shown the SIAM
merer, who said he thought the an
imal ought to be given a trial be-
fore he made the purchase. The
dealer agreed to put his dog to any
test. His own back yard was named
as the place and an hour appointed
for a trial the following day. The
stammerer arrived with a huge sew
er rae, which was thrown on the
ground as the dog was released.
The animals sprang at each other,
mixed things up for second, and
then the rat got hold on the ter
rier's lower lip and hung on until
the latter howled with pain and be-
gan to cover. Turning to the deal
er, the stammerer said:
