tumorous department. Fertile Inventor. "Speaking- about inventors," said Lije Peters, the Buckeye bridge storekeeper, as he leaned on the counter and scratched his stubby red bearded chin, "I reckon Sam Whitaker was the greatest inventor that ever lived in this section. His best holt was inventing hard-luck stories. That man could give more perfectly good reasons why he couldn't pay for what he already had and why he ought to have some more, than any man I ever heard of. "Once, I remember," continued Lije. "Sam came to the store and wanted some cheese. He'd been owing a considerable bill for nigh onto five years. and It had been getting a little bigger every year, and I thought it about time to speak of it. " 'Sam,' said I, not moving to get the cheese, 'you're owing me a little bill." " 'Reckon I am, Lije,' he agreed with sad cheerfulness, 'but you know how it's been over to our house.' "'How's it been, Sam?' I asked, just to hear what he'd say this time. " 'Well, you know, four years ago one of my mules?the blind one?fell into the well and broke its neck, and I had to sell a calf to get money to hire somebody to help me get it out. And then the other mule kicked at Jim Bill's boy and broke its leg. So of course I couldn't pay nothing that year.' He sighed. " 'Well, how about the next year, Sam?' I asked. " 'The next year,' Sam says, without hesitating ,'was the dry year. And the next,' he goes on, 'there was the twins.' '"And last year, Sam?' " 'Last year,' he replies, 'my wife's folks come and stayed six weeks?and, of course, Lije, you know how that is.' "I studied a little bit," narrated the storekeeper, scratching his chin reflectively, "and I remembered all these things had happened to Sam just as he said. " 'Sam,' I said, 'that all sounds reasonable enough, but every time I ask you about your account you give a different reason why you haven't paid it.' " 'You see, Lije,' he said, 'there's really so many reasons why I can't pay you I could keep on giving new ones for ten years and not tell a single flb.' " 'But you won't,' I said, grim like. " 'Why not?' he asks. " 'Because I'm going to strike it all ofT and not let you have any more.' " 'But the cheese, Lije?I got to have the cheese," he said, 'and I'll pay you nt hav-mittine- time sure I've Inst got to have the cheese!' "'Why, Sam?* I asked. " 'You see,' he explained, excited like, 'we've got a sick cat, and I want the cheese for it. If the cat dies the rats will be so bad they'll be sure to get in the crib and kill the baby some night.'" "And you let him have the cheese?" one of the listeners asked as Lije started to rearrange some cans on the shelves. "Yep," said Lije shortly. "But," inquired the stranger, "I thought you said Sam was a great inventor? If his stories were all true 1 don't see where the invention comes in." Lije turned to the inquirer. "Stranger," he said solemnly, "when I was touched by the picture of that sick cat dying and letting the rats eat up the baby I gave Sam ten cents' worth of cheese. "Then he went to the barrel and got a handful of crackers and sat right down and ate the last bit of it. "Since then I've knowed he invented all of them stories?even the ones that was so."?Youth's Companion. He Was Ignorant.?C.v Pose was considered somewhat of a character round Hickory Forks. When he built his new house he declared that it was not going to be a mere place to stay in. He was going to have all the "frills." Anyway, he had a doorbell, then a new thing in the neighborhood. Soon after the new house was completed, Josh Briggs. an old neighbor who lived on the farm just up the road, came over one Sunday afternoon for a little call. It was pleasant fall weather. The windows were all open, but the front door was shut. Josh knocked a little timidly, for everything looked pretty fine. Cy, comfortably rocking in the front room, gave no heed. Josh knocked again?louder. Cy rocked away, silently. Josh grew restive after a moment's wait, and knocked again?a good loud knock. Cy rocked on. Josh changed feet, wiped his face, puzzled and offended, for he knew the folks were at home. Once more he tried it, a loud, continued knock, that resounded over the entire place. Whereupon Cy, still rocking comfortably, yelled: "Ring the doorbell, consarn ye! Don't you know nothin'?"?Youth's Companion. An Excusable Mistake.?The irascible old gentleman had ordered a chicken, but when he got it he wasn't satisfied?some people never are. "Waiter," he yelled, "bring a charge of dynamite and a hatchet and an extra double steam-power coke-hammer. This chicken's got to be carved, even if it is made of dreadnought steel." The waiter was desolate. "Very sorry, sir," he said, "but that always was a peculiar bird. It even objected to a peculiar bird. It even objected to being killed, though we always do everything with the greatest kindness. But this bird, sir, actually flew away, and we had to shoot it, sir?yes, shoot it ?it flew onto the top of a house and"? "Say no more," said the old gentle man. "I see it all now. You shot at it and brought down the weathercock by mistake. John, my friend, all is forgiven."?Tit-Bits. Two Clever Statesmen.?One crisis in Lord Palmerston's life illustrates the absolute good humor which may prevail even when political enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby had made an attack upon him in the upper house with such energy and eloquence that the odds against him seemed overwhelming. But he defended himself and his policy from the dusk of one day to the dawn of another with such tact, dexterity and force of appeal to the national sense of honor that re was acquitted of all blame by a majority of fourscore. Next day in passing through the corridor leading from the anteroom to the upper house one swing door opened to his hand and at the same moment the other to the hand of Lord Derby. They were opponents, but they were also manly and sweet natured men. They smiled. "I was just thinking." said Palmerston, "what a clever fellow he was who so nearly put me in a hole." "Ah," was the rejoinder, "but nothing like the cleverness of the fellow who got you out of it."

The Seal Ring.?The seal ring is nown to be the oldest style of ring, t dates back to the days of the Old 'estament, and products of the glyp1c art, as gem engraving was called, k'ere known in the most remote times, n Exodus xxviii, 17-20, mention is nade of the following stones, upon rhich the names of the twelve chilIren of Israel were engraved: The ardius, the topaz, the carbuncle, the merald, the sapphire, the diamond, he ligure, the agate, the amethyst, >eryl, onyx and jasper. In verse 2 of he same chapter we find mention of he engraving of signets upon the lardest stones. It is believed that the Egyptians instructed the Israelites in he art of stone engraving. The Egypians used the lapidary's wheel and mery powder and knew the use of the liamond in engraving other hard tones. Among the Assyrian and Ba ylonian ruins were found fine specinens of signets on gems, many of them et in rings. rAi I cuiuauia a.

McGILL BRO ba Fertile iTER, SOUTH Why He Came Beak It Is a well-known fact among life insurance workers that practically every company in business pays larger commissions to agents than does the Mutual Benefit, and for this reason it occasionally happens that a man who has been with the Mutual Benefit for several years is induced to sever his connection with it and undertake to represent another company, but it rarely happens that he fails to come back because he soon realizes that the saying that is common among agents of all companies, except the Mutual Benefit, that "all companies are about the same," is false and that no man who knows the past record of the Mutual Benefit, as compared with all other companies and is familiar with its Dolicv con tracts, as compared with all other companies, Can look a seeker after the best in life insurance in the eye and tell him that he knows that he is offering it to him, unless he is representing the Mutual Benefit, and as a result those who are honest with themselves and the public, come back. Among those who recently came back is Mr. R. A. Tarisslg of Philadelphia, Pa., and in explaining why, he says: "My life insurance experience practically began with the Mutual Benefit, and I am sure that any man, with a heart in the right place, and a mind that is able to read and understand, and is willing to give life insurance the study he should, will find it impossible to sell life Insurance for any other company with the same confidence and aesurance that he has in selling a policy for the Mutual Benefit. After severing my connection with the company several years ago, I never felt at home, and never had the same confidence in selling insurance, and therefore rejoiced when I renewed my association with this great company, and never expect again to sell life insurance for any other. I have come back to stay." SAM M. GRIST, Special Agent. LUMBER If you need any kind of Lumber, either Drass?d or Rouah. Green or Kiln-Dried, come and see us for what you need.
