Had money to Burn -

.sNitf crossed over the Connecticut
:ri"er7 from Vermont and paid visit
tozthts old neighbor, Abner Grain. He
4ss:sno secret of his coming, secure
in W., knowledge that the law could
ho, rsach him on Sunday, anu he
took good care to get back before
the hour which ushered in the legal
weekdays.
After dinner Mr.. Grain and he used
to take a stroll about the place to
look at the crops, and then settle
themselves comfortably in chairs on
the shady porch and take out their
pipes for quiet smoke This was
Smiths haDpiest moment. Reaching
down into his trousers pocket, he
would pull out big roll of bank
notes and peel one off the bunch.
Leisusely folding the note lengthwise
into spill, he would then reach over
and light it at the pipe Mr.. Grain was
already putting, and, as he applied
the burning paper to his own, he
would remark in complacent tones
between the puffs:
live got money to burn, neighbor;
money to burn; but I'll never pay that
Judgment with it, never! I'll burn
it all first!'

looked disreputable. It would be
good thing, think, now that the city
is agitating the street lamp question,
not only to get new ones, but to
straighten up the ones We already
have.'
Mrs. Judson looked across the
table in CHASTITY representatives..
WELL" she said, IF the subject you
chose for conversation isn't a dead
give away! You are even worse than
| thought you were if you see the
street lamps stand on their heads"
Again Judson groaned.
Mrs. JudsOn worried over the IN
conventional attitude Of the city's
lamps all the evening" The next
morning after Judson had gone down
town, still in spirit of depression,
she began to feel that she might pos
sibly have been too hard on him.
The lamps may be crooked on
their posts after ALL she said. The
city, and not that one glass, may be
to blame for Harry's topsy-turvy Wis
ion"
Having once argued herself in
that charitable mood Mrs. Judson
set out to try to vindicate her hus-
| band. She went clear down town for
that purpose. She travelled over the
same route that JudsOn had travelled
over the night before and studied the
street lamps as he had studied them.
Judson was right. Nineteen out of
twenty-five lamps we're crooked. Mrs.
Judson's conjugal soul was moved
to fearful repentance.
II was unjust" she said 1.-THE city
is to blame. l will never find fault
with Mr.. Judson again if he says that
every lamp in town is turning somer,
saults."

Money to burn is phrase that
one is likely to regard as belonging to
modern slang, and of recent origin,
but: it was used mere than fifty years
ago with a slightly different mean
ing, by farmer living in western New
Hampshire.
This man-who may be called
Smith, as that happened to be his
name-was sued for a debt which he
declared that he did not owe, and he
contested the charge hotly but never
theless judgment was found against
him. Smith said the evidence was
false, and vowed he would never pay
the amount. AS the law at that time
allowed Imprisonment for debt, he
moved over the line into Vermont to
escape arrest.
Now, Mr.. Smith had always prided
himself upon being an honest, law
abiding citizen, who paid his taxes
and owed no man penny, and the
injustice of the action against him
ranked in his soul. He wished to
show his utter contempt for the de-
cree and the court that had made such
a travesty of justice. and to outwit it's
officers in their effort to take him
into custody. So every Sunday old

Q5hesc Crooked Camps

When Mrs. Judson gave Mr.. Judson
his ante-prandial kiss she shifted
audibly.
"Oh, DEAR" she said, "again? How
many this time?"
Z "Only one,'' said Judson: "and that
was a tiny fellow. I stopped in to see
a man around the corner and took
just one thimbleful for appearances
sake"
Mrs. Judson sighed. 'And you
promised so faithfully" she said.
1T seems as if you never can keep
your word"
Judson stalked toward the dining
room Indignantly. whats the sense

you are saying"
JudsCn groaned.
Presently under the influence of a
good dinner, he restrained his i'm
patience and began to talk sociably.
Did you ever notice, Mary" he
said, how confoundedly crooked the
street lamps are in this town."
Mrs. Judson gasped' "Crooked %

''CaSh'' Clay'S Black Look.

The following story is related of
Gen. Clays power as an orator:
A man was once being tried for
murder, and his case looked hopeless
indeed He had. without any seeming
provocation, murdered one of his
neighhors in cold blood Not law
yer in the county would touch the
case. 1t looked bad enough to ruin
the reputation of any barrister.
The man, as a last extremity, ap-
pealed to Mr.. Clay to take. the case
for him. Every one thought that Clay
would certainly refuse. But when
the celebrated lawyer looked into the
matter his fighting. blood was reused,
and, to the great surprise of all, he
accepted 49,
Then came trial the like of which
has seldom been seen. Clay slowly
carried On, the case; and it, looked
more and more hopeless. The only
ground of defense the prisoner had
was that the murdered man had
looked at him with such fierce mur-
derous look that out of self-defense he
had struck first. A ripple passed
through the jury at this evidence.
The time came for Clay to make his
defense. It was settled in the minds

Brigham Young in 1890

About the year 1880, Brigham
Young and family settled in Port
Byron, says the Rochester Post
Express. It was then known as
Bucksville and boasted of 100 inhabi-
tants. There was no canal or rail-
road in those days, and the settlers
had to hew down trees in order to
make a clearing in which to build a
house. During the first few years of
Young's stay he made his home with
Squire Pine, who lived in the corner
of Pine and South streets. The Pine
house is now about 100 years old. It
is now owned and occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. James D. Dixon.
Brigham Young was carpenter
and old residents of Port Byron say
that he was an expert at his trade,
but work was scarce and he was
always hard up. 1t was long time
before he saved money enough to
buy lumber to build his own house.

Many Uses for Potato

To-day Germany fairly rivals Ire
land with it's potato crop and out
does most other countries. Fully an
eighth Of the arabic land OF the en-
plre is planted to this nutritious vege-
table. Half the large yield is used
directly as human food; a considerable
other portion is given over to fatten-
ing stock. There still remains an
enormous surplus after that, however,
and it is the success with which the
Germans have met in turning this
surplus into manufactured products
that is most remarkable
Among these manufactured PRODUCTS
are starch, glucose, potato -four, dex-
trim and starch sugar, each of which
appears prominently on the list of
German exports, all together contribut-
ing large sums every year to the
profits of German manufacturers and
exporters. But the alcohol which the
Germans make from the potato is. the
most valuable and wonderful product
of ALL. This as light producer fairly
rivals the electric current, it is said.
TIE apparatus for it's practical use
includes lamps, chandeliers, street and
corner lights, in which alcoholic vapor

NO USE FOR RAT TRAPS.
Why Thrifty individual Wanted His
Money Back.


"A wealthy resident of Philadelphia
who has recently built an expensive
log cabin on an island in PenObscot
bay tells of his experience with the
fishing and farming population of the
island when he was building his rus
tic residence AS many workmen
were employed for all summer, the
owner of the new home opened a
small store to supply his help with
tobacco and other needful articles, in
cluding groceries for those who lived
in camps with their families. One
day an old laborer named Grant came
to the store and told the clerk that
his home was oye1run with rats,
which destroyed every bit of food as
fast as he took it from the store.
The clerk showed him a wire rat trap
and told him he would sell it at cost
and that if it did not satisfy him
he could bring It back after giving
it a fair trial. Grant took the trap
home, but brought it back week
later, saying that he did not wish to
purchase
Didn't it catch any rats for you?
