DO NOT BELIEVE IT.

A Iynotype operator Went 10 Ihe Sandwich Islands, from Arizona, got religion, and recently, so we are told, sent 50 cents to a grocer in his home town. His explanation was that once he had stolen some green corn from his grocer, and that, when he got re- ligion, his conscience hurt him until he had to send on the money. One of our linotype men scoffed when he read the item. He said that a mixture of re- ligicn and green corn might give one of his trade a headache or a stomach ache, but that it could not make his conscience ache. because that is an unknown quantity.
