Wiped OCT An Insult.

A wandering salesman who has just
come in from a successful campaign with
little economic device needed in every
household" tells of sweet revenge he
had while in the northern part of the
State.
He took his device to bank, in little
country town, and, gaining access to the
office of the president of that institution,
offered it to that official. He had no
chance to make an argument, for the
president declined to listen; showed the
agent the door, in fact, SO pointedly that
he went away insulted and smarting for
revenge. BY chance he found an old
chum at the hotel that evening who hap
pened to be in funds. He told his trou-
blcs to the friend, and, after explaining
his plan, borrowed $500. Next morning
he went back to the bank, and asking
boldly for the president again said he
wanted to deposit $500.
The chilly manner of the president dis
appeared at once and when the transac-
tion was completed he not only took one
of the agents articles. but led him
through the bank and introduced him to
every body else.
Il got an order from everyone of EN-"
says the agent, land took the goods
around that same afternoon and got the
money. Next morning l presented my
self at the paying teller's window with a
check for the $500 and it was the presi-
dent himself who forked the money out.
His affabilty was somewhat faded, but
he was still too smart to let it be seen
that l had done him. Philadelphia

Brain Leaks,

The man who meets no opposition usu-
ally pursues a dead level existence.
The man who prepares for death wastes
his time; the man who prepares tolive is
wise indeed.
Did you ever think that perhaps the
heavenly music we read about is only the
laughter Of little children?
Some people are SO proud of their an
cestry that they never exert themselves
to benefit posterity.
Some men will seek patiently for an ex-
cuse to do wrong when the reason for
doing right is in plain sight.
We are always very apt to think him a
good conversationalist who patiently
listens to all we have to say.
You have good reason to doubt the

The Deacon's Blunder.

In a village in Maryland an old dea-

to church time, made slight cut with
the razor on the extreme end of his nose.
Quickly calling his wife lie asked her il
she had any courtplaster in the house.
"Ycu will find some in my sewing bas-
ket, she said.
Finding it he soon had the cut covered,
and at church, in assisting with the col
lection, he noticed every one smile as he
passed the plate, and some of the younger
people laughed outright. Very much an
noyed, he asked one of his assistants il
there was anything wrong with his ap.

And what will be the tale that each

Will floods of sunshine, golden fair,
Across our pathway flow,
Or will our souls in rapture meet
Beneath the Starlight's glow
Will flowers bloom, birds sweetly sing,
TO welcome in the day,
Or will dead leaves be blown across
a sky of fearful gray?
