dates for the legislature. and. as 1t
was something important, ! was fore
ed to go out To his house to see him.
1t was quite late when got there. and

rate, the servant who opened the door
showed me into the parlor 10 wait for

some time. and while doing this l
amused myself looking at the pictures
and other ornaments about the room
ION the center table, among books
and other bric.a- brac, stood a big fancy
decanter filled with liquor which look
ed like whisky. II was curious look
ing decanter. and on one side was
some fancy lettering which could not
make out. Being rather curious TO find
out what II said. lifted the decanter
up from the table and tipped il up SO
that the light fell on the lettering Ii
said, If you touch me III tell
Curious, wasn't IL? But, sure
enough. it did tell, for ! had scarcely

ears were greeted with the tones of

machinery started and the music be-
gan. You can judge for yourself how
surprised and chagrined was, for |
had never seen the master of the house
before and he would have n fine opin-

Right in the middle of the tune he
walked into the parlor and gave me a
curious smile when he heard that mu-
