paid l6 cents a pound for packing

at any of our stores for IL cents, it is
hard to tell. The officers got on to
the fact that the men were selling
and although they had skipped out
they were arrested at Vail, brought
back to Denison and forced to part
with their profits and then some be-
fore they got out OF town. 1t is more
than even money everv time that you
can buy the same thing cheaper at a
store than you can Of peddler. The
homegrown hams were received by
the peddlers bv freight that morning

The British civil service during the
middle of the last century was a de-
lightful place for young gentlemen who
wished a "jOb" with nothing to do
Mr.. Arthur w. A'Becket in his "Recol-
lections Of Humorist" describes his
first day in the war Office. After read
ing the Times through-no short task
and listening to the conversation of his
colleagues for awhile he ventured to
address his chief.
"Can l do anything" / asked. "Is
there anything for me to do?'
He seemed a little perplexed. The
other denizens of the room paused for
moment in their conversation to hear
his reply. 1t seemed to me that they
appeared to be amused. My chief look
ed at me and then at the papers in
front of him.
"Ah" said he at last, with a sigh of
relief. "Are you fond of indexing"
Ireplied was fond of anything and
everything that could be of the slight
est service to my country. If those
were not the exact words used, that
was the spirit Of my answer.

my chief, with smile that found re-
Election on the faces of my other col
leagues. "Well, ABecket, just index
this pile of circulars"
I seized upon the bundle and return
ed to my desk. Oh, how I worked at
those circulars There were hundreds
of them, and docketed them with the
greatest care and entered their purport
into a book. From time to time my
official chief, so to speak, looked In
upon Inc to see how was getting ON.

But, no; stuck to my indexing and

work found my labors done | took up
the bundle Of circulars, now in apple
pie order, and laid them on my chiefs
desk.
81 say, A'Becket," said he, "this
won't do. You are too good fellow to
be allowed to cut your own throat, and
for your brothers sake will give you
tip. Don't do more than you are
asked to do. Now, l gave you those
circulars to index because you would
bother me for work. I didn't want the
index. Now it's done it's not the least
bit of use to me. OF course 1t may
come in useful some day, but scarce
