How do you sell your meat?'
Amy way you want It," said the
butcher
"All right; what will 1t cost for .
yard?'
'Seventy-five cents"
'Ill take yard"
Where's your money!"
The money was paid over and tn
butcher showed it In the cash register,
reached under the counter, pulled out
three pigs feet and laid them before
the young man with the remark:
Here's your meat; three feet make q
yard"
The young man was not to be bluff

"A Baptist deacon from1a small
western town took his wife east
for a visit with relatives While
there, the wife died.
The grief-stricken deacon
wrote the sad news back to his
brethren, and expressed a wish
to place a large memorial wins
dow in the church, one that would
symbolic the heroism and beau-
ty of his wife.
A large opening was made, and
the church wardens awaited
anxiously the coming of the me-
mortal. The deacon remained in
the east. Weeks heightened into
months-three of them passed,
and then came the window.
It was fixed in place with all
pomp and ceremony, and on the
following Sunday, the entire con
gregation turned out, armed with
handkerchief and siricerest, sym
pathy. For word had been re
ceived that the longzabsent dea-
con would be at the services.
