HIS PREFERENCE DULY STATED
All Things Considered, Il Was Up to
the Committee.

Many years ago Mr.. Hill, one of the
pioneer shoe manufacturers, had q
shop in Stoneham, where he employed
a. boss in his stitching room one Dan
Lowe, who, being . genial, c0nvivial
man and q master Of his trade. was
liked and respected by all.
One fall the stitchers c0nspired to
make Dan . birthday present. but.
being unable to agree as to the nature
of the gift, they called on Mr.. Hill to
advise them. Mr.. Hill, after solemn
thought, located Dan on the top floor.
and thus addressed him:
'Mr. Lowe. the ladies Of the stitch
ing room, being DESTROYS OF making
you q birthday gift as q small token of
their esteem, have subscribed $40 or
more, and are unable to decide be-
tween an easy chair, . chain and seal
and several other articles. They ap-
pealed to me for advice, and I thought
the wisest plan to ask you to express
your preference and thus satisfy all"
"Mr. HILL" said Mr.. Lowe, after due
reflection, Il have q good chain and
paddock, strong enough to hold . ten
gallon keg. A ten-gallon key Of good
whisky could be bought for $40. and
II had . ten-eAllon leg of good whis-
Ky well chained down in my cellar any
old chair would seem easy"
Mr.. Hill retired for further delibera-
ton.

this was 1000 years ago. before the
dawn Of our happy civilization. 1t
must be confessed, however, that
there was an appearance Of common
sense about the famous Grajas code.
which ruled Norway. Iceland and
much Of England. doubtless. in its
time.
1t began by laying down strict rules
to make each family support it, own
INDECENT members. or to show sum-
Gent cause for the failure. This is the
essential principle Of q sound system
OF poor relief, which We have suffered
to lapse under the direction Of prog

ever. that the family pauper had .

for his decent subsistence: II this man
did not fulall his duty or tried to e.

atty called exclusion confinement in
his house for three years; anyone who
found him outside was free to kill
him.
They stood no nonsense In those
days. An able-bodied person who
begged was outlaWod- equivalent to q

on his way thithsr. should Be punished
with exclusion. The crime Of almsgiv-
Ing vas well understood In those

LOOKED FAR WITH KEEN SIGHT


Two incidents recall the keenness
and the thoroughness-the great twin
abilities, to see and to utilize Ben
jamin Franklin.
One day he CHANGED to observe
lady In the possession of an imported
whisk broom. With his usual interest
and careful consideration he examined
1t a. q novelty. He discovered on the
brush Of the broom q seed. which he
carefully removed. Presently he
planted It, and the growth from this
seed was the lrst crop a broom corn
In this country.
Again, one day when DR.. Franklin
was walking BY Dock creek he saw
stuck in the mud . Wickerwork basket.
which had sprouted. Carefully he
fished out the basket, and carefully
took 1t apart. He gave cuttings to his
friend. Mr.. Charles Norris. who plant
ed the twigs in his garden, where they
grew to great size. They turned out to
be yellow willows, and. as Franklin
had foreseen, proved of great CONNER
cial value.
