us a scriptorial lesson in his last

Sand it came to pass that in
the days of great prosperity, in
the reign of Teddy the Strenu-
GUS, in the eighth month, and
eighteenth day thereof the tribe
living in the Valley of many
bitches, where the dredge boats
jostle one another in the water
ways and the serpent of the still
biteth the heel of the unwary,
became stiff necked and proud
and said one unto another: who
careth for Joshua and his Pink
Sox! They are like chaf before
the wind. We will go up into
the land of corn and wine and
disposess them of their trophies
and slaughter their warriors.
Yea verify, we will bear away
their scalps at our BELTS
But the Lord was with JOSH
ua for he had repented of his
errors with the Kickerites. And
the Lord said unto Joshua, this
day | have rolled away the re-
proach of the defeat from off
you and your people, and will
strengthen thy arms and the
arms of thy warriors and will
give the Mudites into your
hands. Howbeit the Mudites
knew not that the Lord was
with Joshua, but gathered to-
gather their fleet of foot and
their great Singer and mighty
men with the stick, and came
up against Joshua seeking to
surprise him, but were beaten
hip and thigh as the grain meath
the threshers fail were they
beaten. And among the Pink
Sox was certain Singer from
a tribe of the east where the
lWoodbine twineth. And tie
Mudites went down before him
as the giant of old lbefore the
stripling David. Fourteen men
did he slay with ease, while the
Singer of the Mudites was was
beaten and bruised and it came
to pass that only four men fell
by his hurling. And the high
priest that judgeth of the bat
ties, having ears like unto the
animal of mighty voice, in
watching to closely come in the
way of a stroke from a mighty
striker of the Pink Sox and
was carried from the field sore
| ly bruised.
And after the battle, great
rejoicing went up from the peo-
pie and they said, is not Joshua
a good and great prophetY
Howbeit the Mudits praised not
Joshua, but went back to their
land troubled in spirit and did
have a strife among themselves,
saying one unto anouther, You
ibid it, And the scribe wrote
down an accurate account of
the battle and put it in the re-
cord."
A man in a small western
town bought a quart 'of milk
and on arriving home found it
was adulterated with water.
The next day he posted in
different sections of the town
the following:
Il bought a quart of milk
yesterday which found to be
adulterated. If the scoundrel
will bring me another quart I'll
not denounce him."
The next day he found three
quart cans on his doorstep.
There were three dairymen in
town.
The rain of last night was
certainly welcome and will do a
great deal of good to the past
ures, corn, and in fact every
thing. The water did not
begin to fall until towards
morning, but it came down in
such manner that it all soaked
into the ground.

a fine system of gasoline lights
