Mind Your Own Business.

An old custom once prevailed IN a
remote place in England of giving a
clock to any one who would truthfully
swear that he had minded his own
business alone for year and day
and had not meddled with his neigh
bors. Many came, but few, If any,
gained the prize, which was more diff
ticult to win than the Dunmow fitch
of bacon. Though they swore on the
four gospels and held out their hands
In certain hope, some hitch was sure
to be found somewhere, and for all
their asseverations the clock remained
stationary on the shelf, no one being
able to prove his absolute immunity
from uncalled for interference in things
not in any way concerning himself. At
last young man came with a per-
fectly clear record, and the clock
seemed rs If II was at last about to
change owners. Then said the custo-
dian, "Oh, a young man was here yes.
terday and made mighty sure he was
going to have the clock, but he didn't"
And why didn't he get itT whats
that to your" snapped the custodian.
That's not your business, and you

under the circumstances, and even at
that he delivered some foolers. All
