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.

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.

Just that mite!"
They said. "Yes," and, "Ain't it cuiinin'?"
He's a sight!
He's so small It's just amazin'.
And you'd think he was blazin',
He's so red;
And his nose is like a berry.
And he's bald as Uncle Jerry
On his head.
Why. he isn't worth a brick;
All he does is cry and kick;
He can't stop.
Won't sit up; you can't arrange him;
I don't see why pa don't change him
At the shop.
Now, we've got to dress and feed him,

Quicksands.
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. From a single ton of it ?300
worth of gold was washed.?Pearson's.

Hovr Northern Indiaui Secure Vcni*
*on For Their Larilem.
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."

Colonel Ochiltree Bided HI* Time
and Carried Off the Honor*.
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

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.
