England. This lilliputian village con-
tains only one villager, who complains
bitterly because he cannot vote. The
reason that he cannot vote is that
there is no overscer to prepare a vot-

Yet one-man villages sometimes
have their benefits. In Northumber

fuses to contribute money to maintain
the roads, declaring that the one he
has is quite good enough for his use.

ONE GOOD QUALITY HE HAD
Truthful Man Could Not Go Far In
Eulosy Of Dead Man, But He
Did His Best.

There was an old farmer who was
widely known as the crossest, closest,
and most generally nonlikable citizen
in the whole state. Like other mean
men he lived to a ripe old age, but
eventually he died and his friends
went ahead with plans for the funeral.
Now, it is customary, in the case
Of rural funerals, for those who at
tend. as they stand by the coffin, to
murmur some eulogy of the dead. A
number OF farmers came in and said
things which didnt square at all with
the old mans life.
Finally, an aged man, who had
known the deceased all his life, hob
bled in and stood by the coffin. The
aged man was known as the most
truthful man in the county. Hence,
the other people present waited with
interest to hear what he would say.
The old man gazed down silently
for while. He paused, Finally he
spoke.
WAL he said earnestly, nobody
kin deny that he was a great hand
for closin' his stable door O. nights.
