The Founding of the PhylIistines.
One little word largely accounted
for the success of ]. Patterson Bling.
1t was the word mo" 1t saved him
in moments which would have been
full Of peril for other men. He had
never made bad investment because
he knew how and when to say mo"
1t fell from his lips so sharply and
decisively that he lost little time in
the consideration of doubtful enter
prises. Sometimes 1t fell heavily and
left wound, for which Mr.. Bing

Bile. There was really a lot of good
Will In him. He didn't mean to hurt
any one.
Time is thing of great value and
what's the use of wasting 1t In Idle
palayer?" he used to say.
One day, Hiram Blenkinsop, who
was just recovering from spree. met
Mr.. Bing at the corner OF Main and
School streets and asked him for the
loan of a dollar

Bing, and the words sounded like two
whacks of hammer on nail. mo

unfortunate drunkard.

Some people who overheard the
words laughed loudly. Poor Blenkin-
sop made no reply, but he considered
the words an insult to his manhood In
spite Of the fact that he hadn't any
manhood TO speak of. AT least, there
was NOT enough OF 1t to stand up and

the opulent Bings. Some Of these
hired girls ate with the family-saye
on special occasions when city folk
were present Mrs. Collins and the
Gilligans seemed to enjoy this priyi-
lege, but Susan Crowder, having had
an ancestor who had fought in the
Revolutionary war, couldn't stand it,
and Martha Featherstraw preferred to
eat in the kitchen Indeed there was
some warrant for this remarkable sit
uation. The Gilligan sisters had a
brother who was magistrate in a
large city and Mrs. Collins had a son
who was a successful and popular
butcher in the growing city Of Hazel
mead.
That part OF the village known as
Irishtown and settlement OF Poles
and Italians furnished the man help In
the mill, and its sons We're also seen
more or less in the fields and gardens.
Ambition and education chad been
working in the minds OF the young in
and about Bingvilie for two genera
tions. The sons and daughters of
farmers and itch-diggers had read
Virgil and Horace and plodded into the
mysteries of higher mathematics. The
best of them had gone into learned
professions: others had enlisted in the
business Of great cities; still others
had gone in for teaching or stenog-
raphy.
Their success had wrought cnri-
Gus devastation in the village and
countryside. The young moved out
heading for the paths ef glory. Many
sturdy. stupid person who might
have made an excellent plumber, or
carpenter, or farmer, or cook, armed
with d university degree and q sense
