cial Club in EXPOSITION of the present mon
etary situation and the new legislation

resolution calling for a reassembling of the
monetary convehtion of 1897 at indianapolis
next month.
The club voted with only one dissenting
vote for the convention and pledged itself
to send delegates Judge Taylor was in
prime condition of health, speaking nearly

A SURE ENOUGH AMERICAN.

Came Back.

Repaired the Church Roof But it Ah
Came Back.
The following story is told of an
American who visited an old Eng
lish church and struck up a converse
ton with the rector. The two went
up to the roof for the sake of the view
and the rector pointed out how badly
in need of repair were the leads /;
going on to talk in a hopeless way OF
the poverty of the parish.
The American rubbed his chin and
then offered to put on a new roof at
his own expense. The delighted rec
tor closed with the offer. The Ameri
can was as good as his word, and
when on the completion of the work
the rector thanked him effusively, he
quietly confessed to having made a
very respectable profit out of his
.tcharitable'' work.
The rector asked for an explana
ton and then the American informed
him that there is a certain amount
of silver in lead, which was now ex
tracted, but in old times it was left
because it's presence in the lead was
not suspected. The quantity of the
silver in the lead on the church ROOF
was sufficient to pay all expenses and
to give the American a tangible profit
