There lives in one of the finest counties of Kentucky an aristocratic old gentleman, who, though brave at a time of physical trouble, has never succeeded in summoning sufficient courage to shove himself into the recklessness of paying a debt. Like most men who are loose in money matters, he is of exceedingly cheerful disposition, and has been known to invite a bill collector into the room which he termed the "holy of holies" (derived from the fact 'that the colonel kept his liquors there), and regale him with bourbon that had at- 1 tained a great age. But he would not pay | the bill. Once the colonel was in debt to a grocer that lived in a neighboring village. He must have been a new-comer, for none of the "old-timers" would trust the old gentleman. One morning, just after the colonel had taken his third julep and sat down on the gallery to smoke, the grocer came to the gate and shouted "halloa !" "Get down and come right in, suh," the colonel called, getting up and cordially advancing to meet the visitor. "I am delighted to see you this bright morning," said the host, when he had shown the grocer into the house. "You don't know me, I reckon," the grocer responded, giving the old man a peculiar look out of nis keen eyes of trade. "Oh, most assuredly. You are the grower." * "You bet. Hid you get that bill?or, rather them twenty bills?I sent you?" "I presume so, but I cannot say positively who sent them. I get so many favors of the kind that I hardly know whence they come. Let us go into the holy of holies." "No, I reckon not. I have heard of that licker room an' about you gittin' folks drunk that go in thar, but I've never hearn that a man what did go in thar ever got the money comin' to him. I'm a man of business ana l want my money without any palaverin'. Do you understand ?" "Perfectly, suh, and I cannot blame you. Business cannot be operated without money." "But are you goin' to pay me?" "I can't pay you now." "When can you?" "Let's see; this is the tenth of the month, ain't it?" "That's what it is." "Ah, ha, and to-morrow will be the eleventh." "That's the size of it.n "Well, you come round between the eleventh and first of next month." "Will you pay me then ?" "No, I don't think I shall." "Then what's the use of my comin' ?" ' "None that I can see. Didn't know but you might be more willing to go into the noly of holies by that time." . "Not much. What I want is my money and I'm going to have it or know the reason why." "I don't mind giving you the reason. The reason appears to be that you'll not get the money. Now look here: I have always made it a point to look with favor on the methods of life established by other men. You have your rules and I have mine, but because our rules differ it is no reason for us to fall out. One of your rules is to collect every cent that is due you. All right. One of my rules is not to pay a cent. All right." "No, it's not all right?you bet your life it ain't. You've simply got to pony up." "No, I thank you. By the way, how much do I owe you ?" "Ten dollars." "A beggarly sum." iltXTX Y U 'i. on " wny uou ii yuu paj it, men ; "Because I don't pay beggarly sums." "You'll pay this one." "Possibly. By the way again, let me give you a piece of advice with regard to that bill. Shall I?" "Yes." "Well, then, sue me." "I'll do it; you bet your life on that." The grocer brought suit. The colonel promptly appeared. The case went to trial and the grocer got judgment for seven dollars. "I want my money now," said the grocer." "And I want mine," the colonel replied. "Yours ? I don't owe you anything." "Oh! yes. You see," the old man added, "the courts many years ago granted me a license as a lawyer, and I'll be hanged if you haven't given me my first case. Here is the license." "Why, I haven't given you a case." "Oh! yes; I advised you to sue me and you did so. My fee is ten dollars." "Mr. Billings," said the judge (who also owed the grocer), "you will have to pay the amount." He did so, closed his store, shot the judge's cow and ran away. HE CRAWFISHED. When five or six men get together and begin to talk stories, there is always more or less lying done, especially if they are only casual acquaintances. Going down on the boat from Natchez there were three or four "rings" which hung together, and each of us told some pretty tall stories. There was a man from Syracuse who laid himself out for a whopper, and when the rest of us were through he settled back and said: "Gentlemen, the ship which was carrying me to India was burned off the Island of Borneo, and I got away in a boat with a single sailor." "When was this ?" asked a native Mississippian, who was taking a lot of mules down the river. "In 18f>8." "Exactly?go ahead." "We had neither water nor provisions in the boat," said the man, "and after drifting for three days I wanted to draw lots to see who should die. The sailor refused." "His name?" asked the Mississippian. "Foster, I-, believe." "You are right; go ahead." "I suffered one day more, and then, as he slept I killed him with my knife and drank his blood. It saved my life. Next day I was picked up by a ship." "And you killed the man, did you ?" "I did." "And drank his blood ?" "Yes." "Well, you are the man I've been looking for these many years. That sailor was my brother?my big brother?the only brother I ever had!" "No!" "Yes, he was. Some of those who got away in another boat saw him go off with you and told me of it. Stranger, the man who drinks my brother's blood has got to die!" "But you must be mistaken. I?I hardly think his name was Foster." "Oh, yes it was. Name was Foster?ship got afire?off the island of Borneo?drifted about in a boat. It's all straight and now I want satisfaction. Have you got a bowie knife about you ?" "Look here, boys," said the Syracuse man as he caught his breath, "I'm in a box p.nd have got to make a confession. 1 was lying about that adventure from start to finish." "Sure of it?" demanded the Mississippian, while everybody else laughed. "I know I was." "Didn't kill my brother and drink his blood?" "Certainly not." "Well, then, that's all right, and I'm glad to hear it. I'm as humble as a lamb on ordinary matters, but when it comes to killing my brother?the only brother I ever had?why, who wouldn't fight ?" We asked the Syracuse man to give us something else, but he wouldn't do it. He went off to his stateroom and tied up his head with a damp towel.-[New York Sun.

"No, I believe not." That is?to none of the others."

The heroic and fatal struggle of Travis, Crockett, the Bowies and other martyrs who fell in defense of the Alamo in 1830. is without a parallel in modern history. The spot is well named the Thermopylae of America. Not one of its brave defenders survived to carry the sad story to Houston's camp on the Colorado. No Texan patriot lived, like the Spartan, to slay himself in the shame and mortification of having survived his comrades. The story, though familiar to the readers of early Texan history, is reproduced in outline as follows: The first outbreak of the Texans?particular! v the Anclo-American colonists?oc curred in 1832, and was occasioned by the course of the Mexican government in denying the territory of Texas the political rights guaranteed by the constitution adopted by the republic of Mexico in 1824. Embassy after embassy to the Mexican congress failed to relieve the territory of the tyranny and rapacious cruelty of the military governor set over it by Gen. Santa Ana, the president. Their growing injuries at last led a body of patriots to sign and promulgate a declaration of independence, in spirit and purpose indentical with that framed by the American colonists in 1770. They then expelled the Mexican garrisons stationed at San Antonio, Goliad, Gonzales and other posts. Gen. Cos, a relative of the president, was sent to put down the insurrection, but at San Antonio metasignal defeat, and himself, with the survivors of his command, fell into t|ie hands of the victorious Texans. Indignant at the defeat of his favorite, Santa Ana resolved to conduct a second campaign in gjrson, and accordingly crossed the Itio rande at the head of over three thousand well armed and disciplined troops. These soldiers were mainly veterans of the revolutionary war, and had defeated the best troops of Spain in many hotly contested fields. To oppose this array, Houston, the Texan leader, had less than one thousand poony armeu iuiu wwiiw cijuijipcu uuuuu, scattered in small detachments from Nacadoches to San Antonio. Gen. Santa Ana marched first against the latter, which was garrisoned by one hundred and fifty-seven men, and demanded an unconditional surrender. On its refusal to capitulate, he opened his artillery on the Alamo, and continued the bombardment for several days, but with little effect. After several days of desultory firing he determined to carry the place by storm, and ordered the entire army to the assault. After many repulses the Mexicans effected a breach in the walls and found less than fifty defenders, none of whom had slept or rested since the siege began. No quarter was asked or given, and the hero-martyrs fell to a man, dealing death around them, surrounded by heaps of the fallen enemy. But Santo Ana's victory was dearly bought, having lost over one thousand of his best troops in the siege and assault. By the Mexican account, Col. Crockett is credited with having slain about thirty men with his sabre before he fell. The sequel is soon told. Santo Ana proceeded to Goliad, and after accepting the honorable surrender of its garrison as prisoners of war, delivered it over to an inhuman massacre. From here he followed Houston toward the Trinity river, overtaking the Texans where they were drawn up on the banks of the San Jacinto, awaiting the struggle which meant death or liberty to every man. On the night of April 20, 1836, General Houston planned an attack on the Mexican camp early on the succeeding morning. So completely were the Mexicans token unawares, that they offered hardly any resistance, ajMf the Texans gained a decisive xitfprf, with scarcely any loss. The aipjrfunition of the Texans gave out early in the fight, and they rushed forward to close quarters, armed with "bowie-knives," a weapon resembling the Roman broadsword, with which the lemons of the Ctesars cut their way through the best armies of the ancient world. Of the two thousand, three hundred Mexicans, those that escaped the knife and bullet, were drowned or captured, and the "Napoleon of the West," as he styled himself, in a private's uniform, was led before Houston as he lay bleeding beneath an oak. He with other officers were held prisoners until the Mexican government reluctantly acknowledged Texas a sovereign and independent nation.

AVe mean your boy, the little fellow you left at home this morning when you started for the store or office. Don't forget he has wants, as real and tangible to him as yours are to you. Remember he is no more a born saint than you were. And if you just reflect a little you will be ashamed to think how far from it you were. Don't forget him as soon as his "good-bye papa," fades away behind you. Didn't lie ask you for something ??a jack knife or a hammer or a new slate or some pencils or something or other? If you love your boy and wish to show him that you do, you might better forget a business appointment down town than to forget his request. If he asks you for something your better judgment says he should not have, don't be content with simply ignoring the boy's wish, but take the time and trouble to explain your reasons. Boys, even pretty young ones, are quicker than you may think to see a point. Always give a reason for a refusal of his request, even if it is the one you too often give, that you can't afford it. And be careful how you give that reason. If he has lost or broken his jack knife, and asks you for a new one, don't scold A ?v?i\?

A city man never speaks to a passer-by unless he be an acquaintance, while in the rural districts one meets so few people on the roads that it is the custom to accost every passenger. Most people leave the rural habitat home when they visit the city, but this morning a citizen was accosted by a sun-burned granger, who smiled warmly and extended his hand in a friendly manner. As the citizen once lived in the country, he understood the old farmer, and returned the greeting. "B'gosh !" said Kusticus, "the folks of this here town are the friendliest I ever saw. I never was in town before, and they just treat me great." The citizen seconded the remark and went on his way, while the farmer started down Vine street, speaking to everybody he met and hailing every driver on the street. Several electric cars stopped at his greetings, and he rushed out and gave the conductors a warm handshake, replying to their invitation to get on, "No, thanks, I'd ruther walk ; I ain't goin' fur." People began to "catch on," and when last seen the venerable son of the soil was wending his way along the streets, and receiving a perfect ovation.

The first and most important condition of preserving the health and attractiveness of the hair, is that it should be kept scrupulously clean, yet in many eases this is not by any means an easy task. There is nothing for which dust has a greater affinity than a thick head of hair, especially when slightly damp or oily. The flying particleslodge indiscriminately among the most attractive tresses-or the unkempt shock of the careless laborer, and once lodged they cling with greatest persistence. Especially when traveling, the exposure to dust necessitates constant care in keeping the neau ana scaip ciean. i ne iace wouia toll its own story after a week or so of exposure, but the scalp is covered and the hair is a partner in untidiness. Usually, hair whicli is brushed for a few minutes night and morning will require comparatively little extra care to preserve it in beauty and cleanliness. The brush is very much" more efficient than the comb, but of course the time comes when neither will meet the requirements; and at reasonable intervals, depending on circumstances, a careful washing of the hair and scalp is necessary. This will be greatly assisted if a little ammonia or borax is added to the water, which should be merely warm, neither hot nor cold. Another very excellent application in this connection is an egg thoroughly beaten and well rubbed in to the roots of the hair, which, of course must be immediately and carefully rinsed, else the last condition will be worse than the first. It is a mistake to suppose that any hair dressing, pomade, or other application of that sort, will cleanse the scalp. They merely add another element of vexation, attracting and holding the dust and dirt, which a dry brush would very generally remove? Promiscuous washing and frequent wetting of the hair is very detrimental, especially sea bathing, unless the salt water should be carefully washed out of the hair with fresh, soft water, and the hair carefully dried. Keeping the hair damp has an especially injurious effect, not only rendering it brittle and rough, but causing adisa grccituic UUUi) UlllUl 1.-9 uiiiiv^ AUg iu v;*ci y one, and which can be easily prevented. When the head is to be washed, warm soft water, with castile soap, should be used. The hair should be immediately dried. An occasional shampoo, with a vigorous rubbing of the scalp with the finger ends, not only removes dirt and dandruff, but assists the circulation and promotes a healthy condition. As soon as the hair has been dried, it should be carefully inspected. The broken ends should he clipped to promote the growth, and this can generally be as well attended to at home as at the hands of a professional hair-dresser.?[Good Housekeeping. Profits of Soiling vs. Wastes of Pasturing.?If a farmer wishes to build up the capacity of his farm let him keep cows. Buy the fodder for them at first until it can be grown. If the selection is judicious, and the feeding judicious, and the yield is carefully watched, so that the value of each animal can be proved, there is but little danger of failure. There must, of course, be a good market for the products, and good products must be put upon the markets, but these are points so apparent that they need not be enlarged upon. The thing to do is to apply strict business rules to the work. Find out what everything costs, and what it brings you. Keep your cattle "in hand"?that is, in buildings and under shelter?and don't follow the old modified feudal absurdity of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in fencing and pasturing, so that they can destroy their food as fast as it grows. No man ever thinks of emptying a load of hay before | his cattle at once, and leaving them a week or a month to help themselves to it, and why should he do so with his pasture ? And it is precisely because farmers literally waste so much of their feed that so many ~c j.i i? i .'i. m mum Jiuu it inuu i-u umivi* u uvuig, They misapply their means and their energies, and then attribute their hard luck or small gains to the wrong cause.?[Philadelphia Press. Exposing Trek Hoots to Aik.?Few persons realize how great damage results to trees from even short exposures of their roots to air. It is this which makes even the most careful transplanting such a check to growth. When the trees are taken up and carried on wagons, with roots sticking out into the air several hours, the finer feeding roots are so withered that even moist earth will not revive them. The tree must wait until new roots can be put forth, which is best promoted by trimming back the points of the roots just before setting them in the ground. The swelling of the buds will make a demand for new supplies of sap from below. Some of the best protected of the old roots will revive and Hasten to furnish moisture to the tree. Others with clean cuts will callous over and form roots from the callous. [Boston Cultivator. B8F To cure scratches on horses and mules: Equal parts of lard and fine salt.

Skim Milk for Fowls.?Fresh milk does not contain any more egg-producing material than skim milk, except carbon, which is easily obtained from other sources. Give the hens all the skim milk or buttermilk they can drink. For chicks the milk should not he sour, as it may cause bowel disease; but adult fowls may drink all kinds without injury. Curds are excellent for hens, and even whey may be used in mixing food. So advises a poultry authority, and what he says is worth heeding by those who keep fowls.?[X. Y. Christian Advocate.

Xo better or cheaper insect destroyer can be found than the toad.

IT was Dr. Talmage whoonce said that a man was "meanly selfish" who was so absorbed in heaven as to forget beforo his death leaying something for his wife and child.

Certainly hundreds of thousands of men believe the doctor to bo right, and it is doubtless this idea which has of late yours swelled the membership of the various benevolent orders in the United States.

Take, for instance, the American Legion of Honor as j a shining light of tho benevolent orders. It makes no bones about its operations and every- | thing that is beneficial for people to know j about the good done by life insurance is by no i means hidden. , A little over twentv years ago there was a strike among the miners of Pennsylvania, and ' a man named Upchurch, whose name after- I wards became a household word in miners' families, suggested a few of them who could afford it should every week contribute a mite : to a general fund for the benefit of all. This was the beginning of the system of fratornal insurance of which tho American Legion of i Honor is a shining example. Tho American Legion of Honor insures as j low as $500 and as high $.3,000, and, as in most of the orders, the assessments are made according to the age of the member when he was admitted as well as the amount he was insured for. For instance, at twenty-four assessments per annum, a member from twenty-five to twenty-eight years of age pays $0.60 for tho year if insured for $1,000. The highest rate for the year for a man forty-nine years of ago would be $'20.16. Takea man between thirty-nine and forty when he is udmitted ; each of his assessments would be $3.10, if ho is insured for $5,000, and this would be less than $75.00 per annum. Whenever tho Supremo Treasurer finds he has less than $5,000 on call, assessments are levied, and each general assessment brings in more than $100,000. The prompt payments of tho American Legion of Honor are extraordinary. There are many instances whore a widow has received her insuranco money five days after the death of her husband, and it is seldom that a payment is made later than thirty days after death. Strange as it may seem, this Order, which was born eleven years ago, in 1879, had paid out to the relatives of deceased members over $15,500,000. Tho amount of insurance in force is $185,000,000. Of late years this order hits instituted a relief lund for the benefit of sick members. In tho American Legion of Honor relief payments may be made for ten weekes in any one year, and up to fifty woeks in five or any greater number of years. For example, a member insured for $1,000, disabled by sickness or accident, gets $4 per week, and others as follows: $8 on a $2,000 policy; $12 ou a $3,000 policy ; $10 for a $4,000 policy, and $20 a week for a person insurod for $5,000. At the close of the business for 1889 every reported death claim of this Order had been paid, and the assets wero $477,093.18. Liabilities none. One good thing about this benevolent order? although the officers who have the handling of the funds have to give heavy bonds?is that none are paid fat salaries because they are "big guns." The comparative difference between rates charged on $1,000 by the American Legion of Honor and the old line insurance companies on a person 28 years of ago, may bo illustrated by the following estimate, the figures heing taken from the printed rates of the American Legion of Honor and one of the best of the "old line" corporations: If a member of the A. L. of II., 28 years of age, lives to be 00 ho will have paid $307.20 in all. In old line corporations he would have paid for the same amount of insurance $707.20. If a member 49 years of age lives to bo 75 he will have paid $524.10 for the security which on the old line plan would have cost him $1,206.40. The American Legion of Honor gives its members a guaranteed certificate tho cost of which is within the reach of every man and every woman. It cares for tho sick and distressed, and when the Angel of Death takes away the bread-winner, it steps within tho door of the stricken household, and provides for tho continuance of the homo and all its blessed influences.

Announcements of these comparatively Worthless reprints Are very misleading; for instance, they are advertised to bo the substantial equivalent of "an eight to twelve dollar book," when in reality from A to Z they are all Reprint Dictionaries, phototype copies of a book of over forty years ago, which in its day was sold for about $5.00, and that hook was much superior in paper, print,and binding to these imitations, and was then the best Dictionary of the time instead of being Long Since Obsolete. The supplement of 10,000 so-called "new words," which some of these books arc advertised to contain, was compiled by a gentleman who has been dead over thirty years, and was published before his death.
