THE MINISTER'S DIVIDENDS.
nivsrsary Brought Something
More ApprecIable.

1t was q queer couple, says preach-
er in a Massachusetts town, relates
Youths Companion, that drove up to
the parsonage door, She was tall and
angular. typical "old maid" he was
short, fat and Jolly. with a sort OF
David Harum look about his eyes. He
had snug farm, we'll kept and paid
for; and she was known as neat, in
dustrious woman, who had brought up
family Of children left orphans by
the death of her sister.
Sard Cooper assisted the woman
from the wagon as handily as he could
with his stiff arm and sitter knee.
She waited while he hitchsd his horse,
and together they entered the parson-
age.
Reckon you can guess what we're
here for, parson," he said. my sister
Jane, who has kept house for me nigh
on to 80 years, died last winter, and
it's been lonesome for me and the
cows and pigs since. Miss Jones,
here, has lowered them chickens OF
her sisters until they've got from un-
der her wing and gone to town. Now
faint far cioss-lots from my farm to
hers, and we concluded that she can
run my house, and can run her farm,
and it would be better for both farm
and house. So we thought we'd just
drive over and get you to hitch US up
for span. I'm going to be good to
her, and provide everything Necessary,
and she's going to be good to me, and
take care O. me. So whenever you're
ready, go ahead, only make it short"
The ceremony passed without spe-
cial incident. After Sard had admin
istered sounding smack on Nancy's
cheek, he turned to me and said: wal,
parson, what do owe ve?"
Well" l said, you can give me
whatever you choose" and l added,
with smile: Give me what you think
she Is worth to YOU"
In an instant his Yankee love for
trade came to the front, and, fishing
an old-fashionad copper cent out Of hig
pocket, he said: "Parson, I reckon Z
won't be stuck very bad il give you
that to begin with. If find she's worth
more, why. you'll hear from me again."
He had the best Of me: there was
nothing more to be said. l made the
entry Of the wedding in my private
record, and wrote against it: Fee, one
cent"
A year from that day Cooper drove
into the yard with cord of fine hick-
DRY wood.
you remember what told we when
I gave we that cent? The womap's
doing well. so I thought I'd give We
dividend"
The following anniversary he drove
into the barn with a ton Of hay, and
said: Mother dividend, parson. The
wife Is all right
Every anniversary Of the wedding
during my pastorate another dividend
found its way to the parsonage. So
in the end my one cent became my
biggest fee.

FROM FORCE OF HABIT.
Insurance Agent Gives an Illustrative
Instance of what May
he Done.

Force Of habit Is shown In ludicrous
ways" said an insurance agent, who
often said he wished he had studied to
become a professor OF philosophy, re-
lates the New York Tribune.
what absent fool trick have
you done now?" asked his wife, who
had only that morning found his pipe
In his coffee cup, where he had meant
to put his spoon.
'Why, Uncle Remus is in town
again." was the answer, "and called
on him. l invited him to stay with us,
but he is 80 independent that he has
room at a hotel. He was shaving him

said. soothingly.
We'll, then, as l said" continued the
husband, while Uncle Remus was shaw

window to look out. All OF sudden he
stopped and shouted. just as he used to
when | was a small boy:
"'Get out OF my light, Charles! How
can see TO shaver"
Il guess he said that on general prln-
ciples," meditated the wife.
"How's that"
Because you always were dense" was
the reply.

AN ADJUSTABLE TAIL.
Queer Tale Related by the Returned
Traveller Doubted by tho
Sweet Young Thing.

What was the queerest thing you
saw while you were down among the
Boers?" asked the Sweet Young Thing
of the Returned Traveller. He looked
at her thoughtfully for moment, then
grinned reminiscently, relates the New

Yet an Indiana Concern. Refuses to
Pay This for the Most Laborious
Kind Of Work.

Syracuse, Ind, May 16.-On May
Feredal Labor Union No. 1o,434, A. r.
Of L., asked to advance the Sandusky
Portland Cement Cement Company to
advance wages rs cents q day for one
class of labor. The men had been re-
ceiving $1.26 a day and wanted $3.50.
This was the only increase in wages
asked, and, with the request to REIN
state several me nwho had been dis
charged for being members Of the un-
lion, no other demand was made.
The company flatly refused to even
consider the petition at first, and told
the committee that it would not treat
with the union or recognize any COM
nittee or representative. The union
appealed to the American Federation
Organizer o. P. Smith to Syracuse
to try and adjust matters. Mr.. Smith
succeeded in getting an .intedveiw with
the superintendent, but could reach no
agreement with him. The employees
struck and about two-thirds of them
came out May 9. The sympathy of the
entire community is with the men.
The union has placed the matter in
the hands of the State Labor Commits
sioner.
Organizer Smith says the conditions
of employment at the Cement Com
panys works are the worst by far of
any class Of labor in Indiana, and
that the demands of the men are the
most reasonable Of any union that ever
went on strike.
