The Jericho Postoffice Pap Perkins, Postmaster, Tells ' About Lightning Rods ? =& I [Copyright. 1902, by Hiram Haines.] IT was Salathiel <ireen who got the first lightning rod ever put up in Jericho. He had just finished building a new barn when along came a lightning rod wagon all painted up in bright colors and with pictures on it. x? -i-?- ? r,?.; >>>/"? V* IS UltTt? U circus CVU11U IV ouivav. asks Salatliiel as the wagon stopped at his gate. "There's something a heap better." replied the boss of the outfit. "How many thunderstorms do you have around here in the course of a year:" " 'Bout twenty old busters. I guess, sayin' nothin' of a few small ones thrown in." "And what prevents your barns and houses from being struck and burned?" "Providence, I'm thinkin'." "Jest so. And you folks around here have been playing it low down on Providence. You've sat in your woodshed doors or slept in your beds and depended on I*rovidence looking out for your xnthnnt r?hnr<nn<r n red cent. You've played the hog till Providence has got tired and put her back up. She's invented this here lightning rod to ward off thunderbolts, and if you won't put up one Providence won't be responsible for what happens." The man's line of argument seemed to be sound. Sa'athiel Green didn't believe in working his hired man or his horses or osen into the grave. He felt that he had made Providence carry a pretty big burden for a good many years and that she had a right to kick. When he had thought it over for awhile, be told the lightning rod man to go ahead, aiid he planked down the cash when the rod was up. The rod itself attracted a. great deal of notice, but when Salatbiel announced that he had Jet up on Providence and was going to <*arry his own risk there was turmoil in Jericho. "Yes, I know we have all put a heap of burdens on Providence," argued Beacon Spooner, "but what's Providence for? It was intended that she J ,1 .... ^p TJQ1. nuvuiu uirkc \raiu ui iviivo. ^vi back is broad, and you needn't fear about overloading her. She can take care of all the barns and houses in Jericho and not lose a wink of sleep." "I sort of hold with Salathiel," added Moses Grafton. "I've been callin' on Providence fur the last forty years. I called on her fur my first wife and my \ second; to save me when I had typhoid fever; to git my oxen out of the mire; to save my hay one rainy season; to do a hundred other things fur me. She may be willin* to keep right along doin\ but would it be a fair thing to ask her? Seems to me I'd better git a Hghtnin' rod fur my barn and let Providence take care of the house and the haystacks." "Gentlemen, this is a solemn thing? a solemn thing," remarked Deacon Joab Johnson, as the discussion was renewed at the postoffice in the evening, "and it should be argued in a solemn manner. When anybody claims to have invented anything to take the place of Providence, we'd better hesitate n little. I've bin over to see Sala thiel's ligbtnin' rod. It runs from tbe ground to tbe roof and sticks up six feet above. It lias a p'int to it to > eatch the ligbtnin*. It looks all right. "GENTLEMEN, THIS IS SOLEMN THING." | but I'm goin' to wait and see. I'm willin' to give Providence a rest, but I want to see bow a substitute will work/' "There may be sunthin in it." said Hopewell Green, as he took off his hat and scratched his head, "out I ain't ; sayin' which side I'm on. If Provi- 1 dence has been overworked, we ought i to let up on her and buy lightnin' j rods, but if she's got a day or two in the week to spare, she might as well put it in by protectin' the barns around Jericho as to loaf around. I'd like to think the matter over before makin' up my mind." Elijah Bidwell was supposed to know all about Providence and other thintrs. but when appealed to he re plied: "Don't ask nie. Providence works in strange ways, and I dunno as she's alius to be depended on. She pulled me through lung fever when you all thought I'd die, and I hadn't skarsely got outdoors ag'ln when she blowed down a shed and killed ray yoke of oxen. She saved my hogs from the cholera and then turned right around and tixed things for ray old woman \o break her leg." For two weeks nothing else was talked of, and public opinion was about equally divided. Then, one afternoon, I here came a ripping o.d thunderstor everybody saw it gathering ana loo., or a test. When the storm tinai roke, the lightning struck and tired i ess than four barns within a mile < .he village?all barns depending c Providence to carry the risk?while S. j lathiel Green's was not even grazed. "Gentlemen, it looked to me to 1 I mixin' up red wagons, lightnin' ro. | and religion all in a bag together," o. j served Deacon Spooner, "but I ha\ ! changed my mind. 1 think the rest o. I us had better foller Salatliiel's exam ; pie and give Providence a rest." | The lightning rod man got word of it | and returned, and during the next two weeks he put up rods on thirteen difI ferent barns in that end of the eoun I try. There was no thunderstorm un| til a month after the last rod was up. | Then came another buster. It arrived 1 in the night, and as the thunderclaps j shook the earth Salathiel Green awoke and said to his wife: '"There ain't no cause to worry. ProvI idence may look out for the farmers over beyond High hill, but them rods | will protect us.'' Half an hour later every one of the barns with lightning rods was a bonfire, while not a barn without rods was harmed in the slightest. There was widespread consternation next day, and such was the excitement in Jericho that an impromptu meeting was called. A good many men got up and said a good many different things, but Deacon Spooner hit the case pat when he remarked: "I reckon it is the general opinion of this meetin' that there is such a thing r as Providence. I reckon It is." He looked all around for one who might dissent, but as nobody did he continued: "And I further reckon that it is the further opinion of this meetin' that there boin' a Providence and that she knowin' her business a heap better than any lightning rod man from Schenectady it is therefore and hereby "Resolved. That in future the town of Jericho permits Providence to paddle her own canoe without interference." The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the lightning rod mau came to Jericho no more. M.

Quicksands have a horrible fascination for writers and readers of fiction, and the reality is every bit as bad as fancy paints it. One of the most remarkable quieksaiul accidents occurred years ago in New Zealand. Two prospectors were wading across the mouth of a small stream running into the sea in the north island of New Zealand. Both stepped into a quicksand. One who merely touched the edge of it got loose. The other sank rapidly and, in spite of his companion's efforts, was sucked under. When an attempt was made to recover the fcody, it was found that the sand was enormously rich in gold.

A New Yorker who lives a small fraction of the time in the city, being usually long distances away in pursuit of game, tells of the method pursued by the Indians of British Columbia in taking deer. They have evolved a system, this huntsman says, that shows practical skill and sympathy and knowledge of natural conditions. He says: "The Indians, to begin with, do not hunt deer for the p'easure of hunting. They go for deer as a housekeeper goes to market for beef. and. what's moreill British Columbia, at any rate?they don't go often. Salmon is plentiful in the rivers and is easily caught, so why chase animals when they can secure fish? It is something as it is in Newfoundland. where I went a couple of seasons ago. There the prevailing fish, as you might say. is cod, and, though there is 110 end to the variety of edible fish that can be taken, the natives never think of eating anything else. Cod is plentiful, and they form the liabit. I suppose. This is so ingrained that they call codfish 'lish' simply. The genus is divided into cod and the rest of fish. "Well, when the British Columbia Indian makes up his mind for venison, he goes at it systematically and without sentiment. A group of half a dozen or ten men split and take either end of a valley. Then they proceed along the mountain slope from the two ends to the center. They choose the sheltered side of the valley on which the deer seek to escape the wind. Each party covers the mountain side, some near the foot and some at the top and others between the lines, keeping abreast by an imitated owl hoot. The deer, on 'winding' pursuit, have the trick of leaping away down the slope, unlike the goats, which go up, and thus between the two approaching parties they are swept together at the middle of the valley. A good sized herd will thus be killed off and the Indians supplied for many weeks by two or three days' exertion." ?New York Tribune. Heads Should Never ^cne. Never endure this trouble.

General Grant was a great admirer of Colonel Thomas Ochiltree and made many of the men of Galveston a bit jealous. As a result they once planned an incident whereby they would humiliate Ochiltree. Grant was to stop at Galvestou after his trip to South America, and the committee did not put Ochiltree's name on the list of distinguished men to meet him. Ochiltree bided his time, as ho was * - .1 .1 never known to compiain. anu uki uoi go to the ship to welcome General Grant. He took a vantage point in the crowd that tilled the streets in front of the Tremont House. He was behind two rows of celebrities who were doing guard duty along the edges of a crimson carpet which ran from the hotel steps to the curb. The reception committee, or part of it, was standing in the hotel door, waiting to give the general the gladsome hand. Ochiltree watched until the general and Mrs. Grant had stepped from the carriage, and then he bulged through the line. He rushed down the crimson carpet, shook heartily the hand of his old friend and, offering his arm to Mrs. Grant, marched proudly through the rank and tile of the leading citizens into the hotel. The mob outside demanded a speech from the general, and, constituting himself a committee of one. Colonel Ochiltree appeared with him in the hotel balcony and introduced Grant as one cf his best, truest and bravest friends. This was the last time the men in Galveston tried to snub him at a social function. It Made HI*tory. Such a alight circumstance as a glass of wine changed the history of France for nearly twenty years. Louis Philippe. king of the French, had a son. the Duke of Orleans, and heir to the throne, who always drank only a certain number of glasses of wine, be cause even one more made him tipsy. On a memorable morning he forgot to count the number of his glasses and took one more than usual. When entering his carriage, he stumbled, frightening the horses and causing them to run. In attempting to leap from the carriage his bead struck the pavement, and he soon died. That glass of wine overthrew the Orleans rule, confiscated their property of ?20.000.000 and sent the whole family into exile. Adam and the Tailor. '"This," said the guide, "is the grave of Adam."
