FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY


According to an article in the Cinc;n.
pati Commercial a flfty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city secreted
in bale of hay of eighty pounds
This is not as bad as finding a lump of
lead of nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is
secreted until the springs Of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the
means to the dishonest to rob the pub
lie. 1t is not pleasant for anyone to find
that he has lugged a lump of lead in his
watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the
case "U. S. Assay" The United States
does not stamp any article made out of
gold and silver except coin, and the fakir,
by using this stamp, wants to make the
public believe that the government had
something to do with the stamping or
guaranteeing the ineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise a watch described as a solid
gold filed watch with twenty or twenty
ive-year guarantee. These watches are
generally sent c. o. d., and if the pur-
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds
that the Company which guaranteed the
watch to wear is not in existence.
The Dueber Hampden Watch Company
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the manufacturers who are IN
this Questionable business.

One day Miss Bailey brought her Shell

and read his "Ode to the Skylark."
Now, don't you think that's a pretty
thing?' she asked. Did you hear how
the lark went singing, bright and clear,
up and up and up into the blue sky?"
The children were carefully attentive,
as ever, but not responsive. Morris Mo
gilewsky felt that he alone understood
the nature of this story. 1t was meant
to amuse; therefore it was polite that
one should be amused.
Teacher FOOLS he chuckled. 'Larks

Bailey.
"'Cause we got a lark by our house.
It's from tin lark NIT a cover"

Bailey exclaimed. Are you sure, dear,

A BALLAD.

The Plaintiff was a homely Maid
OF forty years, or more.
"A trolley car, it ran her down,
And she, of course, was sore.
The lawyer was a cunning chap
Who liked contingent fees;
lie naturally advised the Maid
To nurse her injuries.
The damages the Plaintiff claimed
Were modest as could be:
She asked for fifty thousand pounds
Because she hoped for three.
The experts We're disint'rested,
So six they swore that she
Would die within month or two,
Six Swore the contraree.
The jurors, honest men and true.
They thought and thought and thousnt'
And then For Plaintiff fifty thou
sand pounds the verdict brought
The Jurors, tender-hearted men,
Before they sought their bed,
Each one, he nobly went and askcc
The plaintiff him to wed.
Alas. Alack! Alack k-a-day!
Twas ever thus in life!
They found the Plaintif-Mald no more
She was the lawyers wife!

| imagination, using his name to give
| force to their attempts at wit. Mr..
Lincoln was the purest-hearted man
with whom ever came in contact"
After the confederacy had been
crum bled into ruins and Jefferson
Davis, it's president, had been cap
tured, and confined, the govern
| ment was worried with the ques-
| tor as to what they should do with him,
and it came to be pretty general re-
mark that 1--WE had an elephant on our
hands" He was guilty of treason and
hanging was the punishment for THIS
crime, but there were few of our states
men who favored that, although it was
hard to see how they could consistently
give him his liberty. One day leading
minister called on Mr. Lincoln and
asked him what he was going to do with
Jeff Davis.
"Well," said Mr.. Lincoln, Il believe
can answer that question by telling
you a story. There was once boy in
| Springfield who bought coon, which,
after the novelty wore off, became a
great nuisance. One day, after he had
been dragging the coon through the
streets with a rope attached to the ami
mails collar, he sat down on the curb
stone completely tagged out aud dis
consolate. A man passing by stopped
and asked him what was the matter.
Oh was the reply, the coon is such a
trouble to me- Why don't you get rid
of him, them said the gentleman.
'Hush,' replied tic boy, don't you sec
that he is gnawing his rope off? l am
going to let him do it. ThenPll go home
and tell the folks that he got away from
me-"
During the course of the war friend
| asked Mr.. Lincoln one day how many
men the confederates had in the field
Twelve hundred thousand" was the
prompt and decided reply. The inter-
rogator in amazement exclaimed: "Is
it possible that they have that large

then held out my hand to the bridegroom.
He had his hand deep in his trousers

he said, somewhat impatiently, and in a

church:

The
Humor of Lincoln
1NCOLN was remarkable for his
4 humor and his fund of anecdote,

T INCOLN was remarkable for his
humor and his fund of anecdote,
both in his conversation and his
public addresses, used to illustrate
some point or argument he was en-
deavoring to impress upon the mind of
his hearers. He has often been ac-
cused of coarseness, sometimes vul-
garity, lin this respect. Secretary
Seward once said in reply to this
charge: Il am convinced that Mr..
Lincoln has been greatly wronged in
this regard. In all his intercourse
with men, embracing governors, sena-
tors, congressman and others 1 never
heard him utter a remark that would
have been out of place if uttered IN
the presence of ladies. The trouble is
that many foul-mouthed men in the
country have put these vulgarities in
Mr.. Lincoln's mouth in their own

nunher?' Eyes, sir" said Mr.. Lincoln,
81 200. 900; there is no doubt of
il. You see all of our generals,
when they get whipped, say the
enemy outnumbered them from three
or five to one. l must believe them.
Now we have 100000 men in the field.
Three times four make twelve. Don't
you see? IL is simple problem in
arithmetic"
In the beginning of the war, a Meth
odist friend once said to him: 81 hope
that the Lord is on our side" 81 am not
at all concerned about that" said Mr..
Lincoln, ''for l know that the Lord is
always on the side of the right. But it
is my constant anxiety and prayer that
l and this nation should be on the Lord s
side -~.
