Lehish Valley was that the Bell re-
fused to continue service at an annual
rate of $4S because these rates are
below the standard rates charged else
where. With view of reaching an
amicable settlement, the Bell submit
ted some proposition but they were

Finally Discovered That She Had
No Cause.

When Adam Perkins, farmers hired
man. came counting Roxy Smith, far
mer's hired girl they told her that
he was a good-natured, lazy young
man. That was about the best that
could be said of him. He got less
wages than any other hired man in
Medina county. but he didn't kick
about that. He realized that he didn't
earn any more than he was paid.
Miss Roxy was a hard-working
young woman, and she detested q
lazy man. She married Adam be-
cause she believed she could reform
him. She was told that such a re-
form had never been worked In this
world, but she was a woman Of self
confidence. When the marriage came
OF they retired to little farm of
their own.
For three years the wife had hopes.
She plead and she argued and she
led the way, and now and then Adam
would take a squirt and work like a
horse for half day at a time. Then
his ambition would be gone. He
readily acknowledged his laziness, but
he just couldn't help it. If he was
found in a shady fence corner while
the corn needed hoeing his argument
was:

should get the backache chopping out
