One Black Sheep Needed.

A revival of religion was in prog
ress in a town where Peter, Paul and
John were coal dealers. John was the
FIRST to come under the influence OF
very eloquent preaching. He was hon
est and sincere about it and Joined
the church. A week later Paul was
influenced to abandon the world and
the flesh. and he, to, became an en-
thusiastic supporter Of the good work.
Peter, however, held aloof from the
meetings. None Of the invitations Of
neighbors or brothers seemed to have
any effect. Finally the clergyman
called and made a personal appeal.
Peter was rough and ignorant and a
little inclined to profanity. but honest
and frank in speech If not In act.
He finally clinched his negative argu-
ments with the clergyman when In
reply to q question he said: John
has become a Christian and Paul has
become a Christian and IL join your
church who the, excuse me, par
son, will weigh the coal!"

A VERY ANCIENT TUNE.

 One In the World.
 Perhaps the most firmly established popular song ln the world Is the air fa- miliar to Americans aS We Won't Go Home Till Morning The origin of the tune Is obscure. but Louis Bison be- leves that the music was composed as love song in the tenth century or earlier by one of the troubadours, the wandering minstrels of southern France. ChateaubriaRd, the French writer, beard it sung by the Arabs, and he suggested that 1t might have been carried to the orient ty the French cru saders
 It was certainly sung by the French soldiers during the war in which the first Duke of Marlborough won his fame. 1t was the lullaby of the baby son of Marie Antoinette. It became one of the most popular songs of the French revolution. Napoleon whistled and sang 1t throughout his life. Beetho- ven used 1t as one of the themes of his Battle Symphony"
 It has been for more than a century one of the most popular street songs in Europe. And there is probably not a ten-year-old boy or girl in America who does not know the tune.
 The French words, beginning Nal brook sen va-t-en gue-re," were invent ed by some forgotten French soldier during the war of the Spanish success sion. They describe the supposed death and funeral of the Duke of Marlbor- ough. which death, ln the words Of Father Prout. did not then take place. by some mistake" since the subject of the pathetic elegy was at the time of It's composition, both alive and kicking all before him
 The song had nearly died out in France when Marie Antolnette caught 1t up from the peasant nurse she had employed for her baby; thereupon 1t spread rapidly. as songs do in France. Beaumarchais introduced 1t into ''The Marriage of Figaro" and 1t was used by the red republicans for incendiary purposes of their own.
 Several sets of words have been sung to the tune in the course of its history, and it has itself undergone some modi- fcauons But its identity is clear through all the changes. Probably 1t is familiar to a greater number of people at the present time than any other tune in the world Yonths COmpaniOn.

A Couple of Shrewd Queries and the
 Railroad Lost Its Case.
 A number of years ago Benjamin K. Butler was a guest of friends in Brook lyu. During his visit he noted the rule of the street railway companies com polling conductors to register fares as soon as passengers entered the cars and before the fares were actually col lected. Two or three years afterward he represented the plaintiff In a damage suit for Sl5.UOO in which a Brooklyn street railway company was the de fendunt. The principal witness for the company was the conductor Of the car on which the accident occurred and his testimony was so strong as to make things look bad for Buffers ct- ent But Butler recalled the unusual rule he had remarked years before, and on cross examination be said:
 Your company requires you to ring up fares as soon as passengers enter the car, doesn't it?"
 Yes"
 Suppose a passenger boards your car and then dnds he is on the wrong line Do you state that fact to your superiors. and do they make allowance on your returns for that farep
 No lose the nickel"
 DO you mean to say the company won't take your word sor centsT'
 "NO they won't"

TEST PROVES MILK
 FROM SKAGWAY PERFECT

The gentleman at Whitehorse who wrote Golfers Weekly for a pro cess for testing Skagway milk, has made the test according to instruc- tlons and as a result has increased his order for larger quantities of the lacteal fluid from the Flower City. In a letter to the Sunnyside Dairy, dated March 1, he says:
 "To satisfy about eight customers of both dalries, l made tests of the milk and found them both perfect. At times people have come to me and complained of the odor, and this test has satisfied them that it was not anything put in the milk, but perhaps due to carelessness in allowing milk to remain in the cans after getting it."

operation of the restraining order.
The petition of Wedell was granted
by the court. The decision, based on
sec ton IA of the state horticultural
law, states that the plaintiff should
not be restrained from shipping the
fruit provided 1t is properly and con-
spicuously labeled Condemned fruit
and by-product."
Heretofore it appears that growers
have not been aware of this clause
in the law which gives them an out
let for great deal of fruit that may
be condemned on account of being
wormy. Wedell stated that he will
now ship more than 5000 bushels of
this class of fruit, properly labeled.
