JUST HIS CASE.

A man who was famous for never
paying his bills owed a considerable
sum to his tailor Sending bills had
had no effect upon the debtor, so the
tailor decided to make personal at
tempt to collect the amount He called
several times upon the delinquent, but
was never able to catch him Finally
he succeeded, just as he was going out
and accosted him with the modest in
quiry:
"Will you pay me this bill, sir?'
The man looked at it for a moment,
and then said, innocently:
Did you ever owe anybody any
thing?"
mo, sir" replied the tailor.
Then you can afford to wall" said
the waggish debtor. and on he walked.
The tailor again made several at
tempts, and at last was successful in
cornering the man a second time.
The debtor looked very solemn, and
said: Are you in debt to snyone?"
Not to be caught this time, the tailor
replied:
Yes, sir; l am sorry / am"
"And why don't you pay?"
Because 1 haven't got the money,
said the tailor, with a significant look

cd his farewell sermon In CIarksburg

confined to the home He called at
tention to the clamoring of so many
for the use of force for the correction
of evils and the Advancement OF the
church. He stated that this was not
Christ's method but that He reached

strove to lift them up. Another topic
was the unity of the churches. He
said their differences were small com

they should stand closer together.

shortly move to Baltimore to re-
side.
