ALL ARGUMENT At An END.
Youthful Logic That Completely
9ilenced Mother.

A small girl Of ten was starting to
consume q tower of graham crackers
that she had ingeniously built at the
table. Her parents demonstrated with
her. The girl persisted and was final
~ sent to bed for disobedience.
The next morning after her father
had gone down to the Office she turned
to her mother with an expression of
resignation and the words:
We'll, how long is this going to
last? suppose I've got to stand it
for the present, but just wait till I
grow up and then I'm going to do ex.
actly what please"
But, Carol" argued her mother, q
bit alarmed at the child's persistence,
I'm grown up and I don't always do
what l want to-
WELL" remarked Carol, with an air
Of conviction which contained proph.
ecy, all have to say is that you are
very foolish"
The argument was unanswerable
and the mother lapsed into silence.

The late Hon. Amasa Norcross Of
Ftchburg, Mass, who ably represent

story with evident enjoyment:
In the early days of his practice al
a lawyer he was employed as attor-
ney for a man who complained Of q
neighbor for trespassing upon his
premises, who among other things
said that when he went to talk with
his neighbor about it that individual
used very threatening and abusive
language.
In cross-examining the defendant
upon the witness stand Mr.. Norcross
asked. ::
What did you say to my client
when he came to see you about tres
passing on his premises?'
Il told him to go to the devil"
well, did he go?'
Il think he did, sir, for I noticed
that he started OF directly toward

How Swift Was Sold.

An amusing affair happened once
between q coal dealer and a Mr..
Swift of Boston. The latter was very
anxious to see that the former did
not cheat him, SO ne-the purchaser
inspected the weighing of the COAL
himself and felt perfectly satisfied
that he got his allowance, without any
desire on the part of the coal dealer
to share. However, while the coal
was weighing, the driver of the team
could not help laughing, aware at the
time that the purchaser was particu-
lar about. the full weight of the coal.
Mr.. Swift, noticing the laughing driv-
er, asked him what it was all about.
So the driver told him.
"Why," said he, when your coal
was weighed you were standing on
the scales and weighed with it,"
rs it possible? Why, I weigh near
ly 200 pounds!"
We'll, SIR" said the driver, you
are sold"
"Yes," was the reply, "and 1 have
bought myself, too"

life, aside from a strong, healthy
body, clear head and a clean

prove of more benefit to him than
the habit he may acquire of prompt

him to incur. 1t is a fact not gen.

men of most all towns of any size
have books containing the financial
rating of all people, young and old,
who have business dealings with
them; hence it is most sensible
and most commendable thing for

that which is headed "sure pay for
