tTHE CASE oF BILL M'c0Y.
He Redeemed His Promiss Almost at
 the Cost of Ais Life.

The code of honor in force among the boatmen of the Mississippi riv- CT in early days was rude, perhaps, but strict, so far as it went. There, for instance, was the. case of Bill Mccoy; who fell into the clutches of the law eighty years ago. Brought before one of the courts at Natchez, he was committed to jail. The va cation of court was just beginning, and unless Mccoy could find bonds man in the sum of $10,000 he must sweltcr in jail throughout the long summer months. At the last mo- ment Colonel w., wealthy citizen of Natchez, came to the rescue and agreed to pay $10,000 if Mccoy did not present himself to stand trial in the fall.
 In vain the colonel's friends tried to persuade him not to take the re- sponsibility, even "the court's'' ad- vice that he let the matter alone was unhecded. Mccoy was released, shouldered his rife and in due time reached his home in "Old kain- tuck"
 Months rolled on and the time of the trial approached. Everywhere the chances of McCoy's return were discussed. The colonel had not heard from him since his departure. The morning of the appointed day came, but the prisoner did not present himself. The court had transacted it's other business and was on the point of adjourning when Mccoy, his beard long and matted, his hands scared and bleed- ing, rushed into the courtroom. Colonel w. embraced him as if he were a long lost brother, and eyes unused to tears filled to overfowlng when Mccoy told his story.
 Starting from Louisville as a "hand" on hatboat, he found in a few days that, owing to unexpected delays, he could not reach Natchcz at the appointed time. No other craft presented itself, and so Mccoy abandoned the 'fhat' and, with the aid of rough tools, shaped a canoe from the trunk of a fallen tree. He rowed or paddlcd his canoe with only the briefest stops for food and rest 1900 miles and redeemed his promise almost at the expense of his life.
 His trial became d mere form. His chivalrous conduct and the want of any positive testimony won for him a quick verdict of "not guilty" ."-I outh's Companion.

BEING SICK.
By George Fitch. }

Being sick is breakdown in the human system which causes the owner of said system to lay up for repairs. Sometimes these repairs can be made by the road. side by competent licensed me- chanic, while at other times the human must go into the back shop for an extensive overhauling, dur ing which his valves are reset, his circulation braced up. his ap- pendiX chiseled off. his heart re- timed, and fresh air put into his lungs.
 Humans are subject to many mechanical troubles, and it takes an expert to keep himself in good order. some of the most frequent troubles are oNereating, stiff bearings. defective ejaculation. bad exterior. finish, injured mem 'nrr~. poor feeding and uNcrtil'ing some humans attempt to run on alcohol. which always puts them in the repair shop with cracked heads in a short time. Knock ing l. d great fault also. When the hunan being knocks continually. he should be worked over with a slrder hammer until he runs >i- lrn,ly.
 N hen d man is sick h" is d great nlli>amcc. because he can neither work nor be coated With 4r"H~r and hung up in tire Sa\- ti:. Instead, he must be put to ii" and nurSed. while repair men from all over the country look him over at $5 an hour. When an automobile is entirely rebuilt, the owner kicks wildly oNcr a biIl for S207.45, but three repair n! can take a sick man to a shop. open him up and examine his gears. and sew him up again. all in un hour. and his widow pays $500 without Wincine.
 BtlnS SICK Is q comparative statement. Some men are sick when their fuel does not mix properly and thcse is a hard days work ahead of them. Other men are pretty well when they are ov- erhcated to temperature of 10i. while their heads are pounding loudly and their steering gears do not work worth a cent. Being sick is pastime with some men, but calamity for others. Get the latter when in the market for men,
