Retrlbution That Was Swift.

Cy Perkins and Jim Brady were
from the country, the deep country,
and they were unschooled in the
crafty ways of swell cafes. They had
spent the day taking in the sights of
the state fair just outside the big city,
and they had invaded the districts
notable for electric lights, high prices
ard poor service.
After holding caucus on street
corner, they decided to go into one
OF the high-class restaurants and have
dinner. After delaying them for the
proper length of time g waiter ap-
preached them and handed them a
menu. incidentally. he piled up in
front of them the usual imposing ar
ray of cut glass and silver.
81 reckon we might as well have
a square meal" said Jim Brady.
Cy Perkins assented, and they or
dered for dinner practically every
thing on the menu from soup to nuts.
At the conclusion Of the meal. Jim
Brady produced a silver dollar. waved
his hand in a lordlyi manner toward
the waiter, and said:
Take the damage out of this, and
keep the change"
The waiter came as near looking
embarrassed as any city waiter could.
and ventured to remark that the bill
was more than dollar. He presented
it in writing. It amounted to nine
dollars and sixty cents. Jim, after
taking one angry glare at the total,
produced the ten-dollar note and
stalked out Of the restaurant ahead of
Cy.
On the sidewalk Jim, after indulg-
ing in a profane duel with nobody,
uttered this prophecy:
"Cy. some day Heaven will punish
those men for that"
"Jim."" said .Cy reyerently, "Heaven
has punished them already. I've got

Four hundred and ninety-nine swal-

Worthy Friend Mr.. Newman.
have received the parcel of books
you sent me by order of the Worthy
Society. They are all very good and
serviceable. Doctor Smallbridge's ser-
mon is most excellent and useful ser
mon, but alas, there is none in all this
Parish, that would contribute in the
least to that charitable work We
have not one gentleman in the Par
ish. We had but one, but he and his
family are gone to live at Chichester.
The charge Of the poor is SO great up
on the farmers, the parish being small
and the poor so many in it, that they
have no inclination to contribute to
any other charitable work
| am ashamed to mention what lit
tie they give to the briefs that are or
dered in the Church by the Queens
command.
shall take care to communicate the
books [excepting few keep for the
use of the Parish to ministers. Pray
present my humble respects to the
Worthy Society, whose pious endeav-
ors for the spreading of the knowledge
of God and of his truth, daily pray
almighty God to bless and prosper
still more and more. My kind respects
to Mr.. Fish and yourself. ! remain
