Old Andrus Gooble, Of Betzyille, was
one of the shrewdest men in town, but
twice in his life he made mistakes.
Once was when he lent money to Or
one McDCoble, and once was when he
thought he could work the money out
of Orone
1t seems that a couple of years ago
a syndicate of prominent Betzville ag-
riculturists decided to build tele'

Orone he said he would be glad TO
go into it. and he subscribed one hun
dred dollars. but when the time came
to pay up, he did not have the money,
so he went to old Andrus Gobblc and
began talking a loan out of him. Old
Andrus refused at first, but Orone has
a harsh, grating voice, like the rough
edge of a rasp file, and after he had
talked to old Andrus awhile Andrus
felt his ear drums giving away. Ev-
cry time Orone said word it was like
rasping file across Andrus's ear
drums. and in a few minutes his ear
drums were rasped down so thin that
they palpitated painfully, and they
were hardly any thicker than sheet
of tissue paper Old Andrus saw that
if Oronc coaXed a few minutes more
his ear drums would be worn quite
through, so he told him to shut off his
voice and he would lend him the
money. So Orone did, and Andrus
made the loan.
Then he started right in trying to
collect, but he had a hard job of it
