On one occasion travelling salesman

house. which. however. undertook to
collect the bill. First the wholesale
house drew sight draft on the mer-

addressed to the postmaster inquiring
about the financial standing of the
merchant. The postmaster reported
the merchant all o. X. Finally the ac-
count was sent for collection addressed
to the leading lawyer
Then the minister took his pen in
hand and wrote as follows: 1.-The un-
dersigned is the merchant on whom
you attempted TO palm off your worth

you sent your sight draft; the under

Cleveland attended banquet of his
fraternity the other night and respond

classic and congenial theme he ex-
panded and fairly glowed. But even
after his eoquence fades from the
memories of those present one per
sonal note will remain. He said in
part:
God bless our wives. They know
us from alpha to omega, our secret
faults and virtues. But they rise in

the former or belittle the latter. How

Than q Wet Hen.
Former Sheriff Billy Davis Of Bar
tholomew county told the following
story to Illustrate the driving force Of
the little black bumblebee. the bane
Of the existence of the small country
boy and the summer boarder:
I'VE had on our farm one summer a
young man from the city who had
horror Of being stung by bumblebee.
He had been told that If he were at
tackled he should see to It that his
head and face were protected, as the
bees would sting his face all out OF
shape and If lodged In his hair would
sit and sting until they were tired
HE was with US In the clover field
one day, where the bees were unusual
" thick. We were 'doddering' the
hay, or piling 1t in small piles against
un approaching rain, and were pretty
close to the mower. AS the city chap
was stalking along between piles the
mower tore up the nest of some OF
those little black brlmblebees, and
they made for the youngster from
town. Some one shouted, and the
threatened victim made for newly
piled 'dodder' of hay. In he went
headforemost until his head and shoul-
ders were covered.
"But the bees didn't care about the
head and shoulders particularly. There
was wriggling mass. 1t looked alive
and they went to it. and what they did
to the exposed part Of that city chap
was g-plenty. A mufiled yell from the
interior of the dodder followed, and
hay went scattering in all directions.
The city chap arose to his feet madder
than a wet hen.

his head was sunk down almost out

"But the horse"-
"Was one which is often driven by

explained simply.

that was for her name.

forward reply, and this ended the in

Toward the top he came upon livery

fore he left him he had asked him
these questions:

toward the handsome residence dis

Showing his badge, he passed in and
entered long and slightly curved
