1t would seem that in this late day

particularly would be unnecessary.
Good roads mean good business

something Happened Which Wa,
Worth Ten Such Thoughts as Had
Come to the Scribe-So This
Particular Gem Was Lost.

One day the Observer had an idea
II is a rare experience, and the obvi
GUS thing to do was to get it down on
paper just as quickly as the speed
limit on his old typewriter allows.
he grabbed a sheet of paper, rammed
1t into the typewriter, and started
reaching for the first letter when the
Office door opened and a lady came in.
The lady, whose home is near Mil
ford, extended a piece of paper and
some money, with the remark hat il
vas a subscription bill, somewhat
overdue, which she had come in to
pay. CHANGING at the paper the Oh
server had a shock which drove that
lncipient idea into the remotest cor.
mel OF his belfry, where it seems to
De LOST forever. He is absolutely un,
able to remember what that great
thought was about, what stirring
CLEAN of sense was about to be born
n given to the world. This is his
excuse:
The bill which was extended TO,
payment was dated May, 1894.
The explanation was that an ole
trunk in the attic was wanted for use
n in cleaning it out, among a lo1
OF old receipts and papers, they haG
discovered this old bill. The system
OF filing bills and receipts was such
as to make these honest people quite
sure that the bill had not been paid.
The lady was assured that if there
was any record of the account, now q
years old, it was in the cobweb-en
crusted old books in the garnet, that
the ccoun was outlawed anyway, and
that very likely a duplicate of the bill
had been paid 20 years ago.. She was
obdurate. She had come to pay that
bill and get a receipt. An offer to re
celpt it for half the amount was not
satisfactory. 1t was her rule, and he1
husbands, to pay in full for everything
and she had travelled several miles tc
settle an account old enough to be q
legal voter. She paid and took he1
receipt, and if she did not then and
there create a worlds record for de.
feTred payment she made one which is
seldom equaled.
AS stated, the bill was paid but the
Idea was gone. However, the idea
was probably worth about twenty
cents, which is one-tenth the amount
OF the bill, SO If anybody else can die
up any antique accounts and pay them
they are welcome to drive out, shoe
away, slaughter and swat any and all
budding notions, at any time. any
place, day or night.-Milford Cabinet.
