All doubts as to the wisdom of

A Bill We Can't Paw

"A ten year old boy overheard
a conversation about certain
bills to be paid, and conceived
the idea of making out bill for
his own services" says an ex-
change.

this statement OF account on his
mothers breakfast plate:
Mother owes Willie for car
rying COai six times, twenty
cents; for bringing water lots of
times. thirty cents; for going ten
errandS, fifteen cents " His
mother read the bill but SAID
nothing about it. That evening
Willie found on his plate the
seventy-five cents and also an.
other bill which read as follows:
Willie owes his mother for his
happy home for ten years,
nothing; for his food and CLOTH
ing. nothing; for nursing him
through long illness. nothing:
total nothing" When Willie
saw the seventy five cents he
was pleased. But when he read
his mothers bill his eyes grew
dim and his lips quivcred. Then
he took the money TO his moth
er. threw his arms about her
neck and begged that she would
let him do lots OF things for her.
"Mother's bill is rarely present
ed but ii will pay each person
to think it out and over for him.

some of the contents of a Daisy

after 1t was found that the little
fellow had taken the poison a

out of order and a trip of several
miles had to be made to call a
doctor and when he reached the
sick child the deadly poison had
done It's work. Joseph was a
bright boy and favorite in
the community in which he
lived. Mr., Osborne is pastor of
Prospect circuit and he and his
family have many friends to
sympathize with them in their
sorrow. Funeral was held yes

How Bob May Got Burnt

Monroe Journal.
Is there a man, woman or
child in Union county who
doesn't know Bob May? We
can't believe that there is, and
taking into consideration the
Professors universal popularity,
we believe that his experience
with the tabasco sauce, as told
by Bull" Hasty, will prove in
teresting to everybody. This in
cident occurred back in the davs
when Roach Stewart, now an
attorney at Lancaster, was clerk
ing for Mr.. Russell at the hotel.
Roach had to stay up pretty late
every night to meet the trains,
and the cook always left him
little lunch IN the stove for him
to eat after the trains had come
and departed. Bob kept Roach
company on these nights, and
he soon learned about the little
lunch that awaited the hotel
clerk back in the kitchen. Then
it was that Roach began to miss
his accustomed midnight lunch,
and he wondered why, Did the
cook forget him? He couldn't
believe it. He kept his own
counsel-and went hungry. 1t
wasn't long before he found out
where his lunch was going to,
and he was so incensed that he
swore eternal vengeance on the
Professor. Going into the kitch-
en- right after supper one night,
he soaked one of the chicken
legs that the cook had left for
him with hot tabasco sauce; so
hot thai to look ct it caused
ones eys 10 water. He watched
Developments. The midnight
train arrived, and while the
guest were registering. he saw
Bob slip out of the lobby. A
smile came on his face. which
increased to laughter when Bob
came rushing into the lobby a
little later with tears trickling
down his cheeks, and uttering
howls that could be heard for
some distance while his hands
grouped for the water cup.
Finding the water, he threw the
chicken leg to the floor which
bis dog pounced on immediate
ly. The tabasco burnt the dogs
mouth just as much as it did
Bob'S, and ii lent an accompani
ment TO the Professors tune.
Water failed to quench the aw
ful fire within. Roach ducked
behind the desk, while Bop and
his dog fought it out together.
Time heals all wounds, but il
was a long, long time before
Bob and his dog regainej their
usual composure. 1t is needless
10 say that Roach's chicken was
bothered no more.
