THEY TOOK CHANCES.
ALL WERE WILLING TO RISK THE CIR
CUS POSTERS AGAIN.
Pnp Perkin*, the Jericho Postmas
ter, Tell* the Arsomentl That
Were l *ed. the P'int* That Were
Blade and How the Decision Came.
[Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.]
It was Moses Harper who begun It.
Some one told him that a circus ad
vertisin wagon was slowly but surely
approaching the towh of Jericho, and
he let it be known that he would show
up at the postofflce lu the evonln and
have sunthln to say to Interest the hull
United States. Nobody could guess
whether Moses had found a new way
of gittin a hired man up at 4 o’clock in
the mornln or was goln to experiment
on growin broomsticks, and the crowd
was lioldln its breath when he showed
up. Moses didn’t lose no valuable time
tryin to And out whether I'orto Itico
belonged to the United States or to a
tobacco trust, but put on Ills spectacles
and said:
“Citizens of Jericho—The tocsin has
sounded, and we are here tonight to
counsel together in the cause of moral
ity. Last year, ns most of you know.
“THE ALLURIN COLORS OF VICE AND DEGRA
DATION.”
•Tonas Tencliout, whose barn faces the
highway a mile outside of tills town,
allowed the circus wagon to paste up
pictures on three sides of the buildin.
Uow many tickets for the circus he
got in exchange 1 do uot know, and it
has nuthin to do with \lu* question.
What I'm sayin is that them pictures,
In my solemn belief, shocked the.mor
als of this community fur worse than
as If ten saloons had lieen opened in
the town. The elrcus wngou Is ag'ln
approachln. It is creeplu along In its
sly, lnstduous way, lea tin the blight
of destruction In Its path, and If sun
thin ain’t done Jonas Teachout’s barn
will ag'ln be enwrapped In the aliurln
colors of vice and degradation. I move
that It Is the sense of this meetin, and
of the community In gineral, that Jo
nas be struggled with."
“It appears to me,” says Deacon
Spooner as Moses sat down, “that a
p’int has bln made. When Moses talks
of aliurln colors of dee and degrada
tion, I seem to see before me them pic
tures of wlmen jumpln through paper
hoops. However, I’d like to hear from
Silas Lapham. I reckon lie’s interest
ed In the moral welfare of this com
munity.”
“I ain’t blarnln Jonas ’tall,” says Si
las. “He got 12 deadhead tickets fur
the use of his barn, and 1 don’t believe
anybody was the wickeder fur It. If a
man can't gaze at circus pictures with
out goin away and stealiu a bnr’l of
soft soap, then be ain’t no man. Did
any wife mu away from her husband
because of them pictures? Did any
husband elope with the hired gal be
cause of them?”
“That’s a p’int, and I says It's a
p’int!” exclaims the deacon ns he hus
tles about. “Them circus pictures was
on thnt barn fur two months, but what
farn’ly was busted up through their in
fluence? It's fur Moses to specify
whar vice got its toehold.”
“I ain’t sayin that any fannies was
busted up,” continues Moses, “but I’m
talkln ’bout the gineral Influence on
glnernl morality. A circus picture is
nuthin but a picture, but it suggests
lemonade and peanuts and whisky and
poker and hein out late nights. They
are like plzen Ivy. You come across it
In. the woods, and It Is fair to lank up
on, and it seems to be rooted in inno
cence and thrivin in morality. Y'ou
handle it, and you begin to itch and
scratch and And yourself pizened. Like
a hydra headed sarplnt. It lays In watt
to work destruction to the unwary. I
hope this meetin and this community
air with me and that it will 1m- decided
to wrassle with Jonas Teaehout.”
“Hoses didn't seem to make a p’int
on the peanuts and lemonade,” says
the deacon as he scratches his ear,
“but ho was powerful strong on that
plzen Ivy bein rooted In Innocence. I
kin almost see wliar circus pictures
might inliuence me to go home and
pound my old cow with n sled stake If
she didn’t keep her tail still while I
was milkln, but I’m wlllln to hear more
argyments. Enos Williams, you driv’
by that barn twice a day all summer.
How did them pictures affect you?”
“Not much different from a buskin
bee,” says Enos. “I didn’t feel no
feelln’s of wickedness stealiu o’er me.
but I did sort of make a fool of myself.
I found a soft spot In the barnyard and
tried to turn a handspring, aud fur
about two hours they thought my neck
was busted. I’m tlilnkln that hard elder
has more gineral influence on-gineral
morality In this community ttiau cir
cus pictures."
“It's a p’int!" shouts the deacon as
he waves his enno on high; “It’s a
p’int nobody kin git over! It’s hurd
elder that's backiu vice all over this
county and h'istln innocence over the
, fe*fe whenever they meet. However,
It *ubv be that circus pictures also
have their Influence. Moses, have you
got any more argyments?*’
“Of whST use?” says Moses as ho
heaves a sigh and turns away. "Wasn’t
flodam warned? Did Sodarn heed It?
iv When vice stalks rampant through ev
ery household In Jericho and Innocence
Is driv’ to the fields to sit under a
blackberry bush* and weep, then re
member what I have sukl hero tonight.
I ain’t denytu that hard cider Is blunt
In our mosnUtyT but when you add dr
cilA pletuies to hard elder what do
S you do?"
|p “See, Sudani was warned, nixl Sud
ani fell,” says the deacon as he shakes
f his bead, “but I’d like to hear from
Dish Hillings on this matter.”
.. P S! .
“It’s purty late.” says Lish.
“How purty late?”
“Why, Jonas has rented his barn
ag’In and got 21 deadhead tickets, and
here’s one he give me. How's that fur
a p'int?”
The meetin stood appalled fur a min
It, and then Deacon Spooner looks
around and says:
“Jonas has got 20 tickets left, and
that means he has 10 more to give
away outside his fain’l.v. Fellow coun
trymen, do you take it that this meetin
has pledged herself?”
“No, no, no!” shouted the crowd.
“Is It the opinion of this meetin that
Jonas Teachout ought to be wrassled
with ?”
“No, no, no!”
“Then I’m appealln directly to Moses
Harper. Moses, will you withdraw
them remarks about the blight of de
struction, the allurln colors of vice
md innocence weepln under a black
berry bush?”
“I might,” says Moses after a little
reflection, “but I want to be let down
easy.”
“It shall be done. I’m offerin the fol
lowin resolution to be voted on: ‘Re
solved, That circus pictures on n barn
may or may not affect the moral
standard of a community, but we are
willin to chance it this year.’ All in
favor or ag'in will manifest it In the
usual way.”
The resolution was carried with a
whcop, and the crowd piled over itself
to get outdoors and look around for
Jonas Teachout and beg fur deadhead
tickets, and Moses Harper wasn’t one
of the last. M. Quad.
HIRED GIRL’S PROGRESS.
Fable Showing; Wisdom of Silence
Concerning Some* Things.
Once upoD a time there came Into the
city from the country a girl. The girl
wandered from her happy home to se
cure employment among the wealthy
families of the city, and when she
made known the fact that she was
willing to work many persons sought
her anil Implored her to engage with
them In domestic pursuits. The girl
was overwhelmed with offers, but final
ly made a selection and settled in a
family that valued her services very
highly. The girl was happy until one
day her employer met a neighbor, a
very dear friend, and told her of her
good fortune In finding the country
girl: And this neighbor met another
very dear friend anil told her of her
other friend’s good luck, and thus did
it become generally known that there
was a good “hired girl" In the neigh
borhood.
And from that time on the mistress
and the girl were unhappy until one
day the very dear friend gave the girl
$1.50 more a week than she was earn
ing in her first place, -and in this man
ner did the girl become happy again,
while her mistress and the very dear
friend ceased to he on speaking terms.
And then the girl became unhappy
again until the other very dear friend
engaged her at an advance of $1, and
the other dear friend and the first dear
friend ceased to talk over the back
fence. And then the good girl wore
fine dresses and fine hats, and one day
a dashing young man led her to the
nltar, and now the three friends and
the poor country girl are all very
happy.

hired girl.—Detroit Free Press.

Swindling a Uank,
A few years ago a well dressed man
presented himself at a certain national
bank and laid down a check for $3,000.
It was signed by a well known whole
sale whisky house, and upon the hack
were the words, "Identification waiv
ed.” At the same time a well dressed
man entered the office of a live stock
firm at the stockyards and asked if he
could wait in the office, as he expected
a telephone message. lie was told that
he could, and he took a seat near the
telephone.
Don;n in the bank the paying teller
was asking who the holder of the
check knew. He said not many firms,'
as he was a stock dealer, but If the tell
er would cull up Mr. Smith of Jones &
Smith, the.well known brokers at the
stockyards, he would find out that he
was all right. The teller called for the
number, and when the ring answered
he asked for Smith. The man on the
end said he was Smith, and he at once
gave Brown, the holder, the amount of
the check.
When It was discovered that the
check was a forgery, there was an aw
ful kick, as Smith said Brown was as
good us gold. Smith declared that he
had talked to no one, and the result
was an argument between Smith and
the bank teller. No one knew about
the accomplice answering the phone,
and the result was that Smith took his
account from the bank, and no one
ever knew who |t was who answered
the telephone.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Dachshund Tragedy.
“Stlmler’s collar button rolled under
the bureau.”
"Yes.”
“And he ‘sicked’ his dachshund after
it.”
"Go on.”
"The bureau is heavy and stands
close to the floor.”
“Proceed.”
"The dachshund is the thinnest
dachshund that ever breathed, and he
could just squeeze under the bureau.”
“Well?”
"Well, the dachshund reached the
collar button and at once swallowed It.
It stuck half way down and thickened
the dog so that he couldn’t pull himself
past the lump. So Stimler had to call
In the Janitor of the flat, and they lift
ed the bureau off the dog.”
"What about the button?”
“Stimler said he'd let the dog keep
the button. He might need it.”
“Need It?"
“Yes, In case somebody collared him.”

A Dong Lightning Conductor.
Bavaria boasts that it has the longest
lightning,conductor In the world. It
rises some yards above the top of the
meteorological station on the Zug
spltze, the highest point In the German
empire, and runs down the side of
the mountain to the bottom of the Hol
lenthal where there la running water
all the year round. The length of th’e
rod Is five and a half kilometers, nearly
three miles and a half.
A philosopher says that every failure
Is a step toward success. This ex
plains why some men become richer
every time they fall.—Chicago News.
He Apologised.
International courtesies arc to lie ob
served even in disreputable professions.
Josiah Ulynt, who has shared the com
pany of tramps in order to procure
data as to their methods of living, re
lates an instance of true politeness
from one of that unsavory brother
hood. lie says in “Tramping With
Tramps:”
“In Glasgow a fellow vagabond did
me a good turn. We were walking
along the street, when three town
tramps came along and ‘guyed’ my hat.
My companion noticed it, and I told
him I had suffered In that way before.
Then he turned sharply about on the
scoffers and thundered out:
‘“Who’re you lookin at? Ef you’re
tryln to guy tills Yank, you’d better
stop! Ef you don’t, there’ll be a fight!'
“ ‘Let’s run,’ said I, ‘If you really
mean that.’
“ ‘Not much! I’m English, you know,
and I can knock out any Scotchman
that comes round. I’m in the mood for
it right now.”
“The town vagabonds took him at his
word and left. Then I said to him.
‘You English fellows seem to have
things pretty much your own way
here.'
“ ‘Y'es,’ said he; ‘we English fellers
know how to bluff. We’ve been bluffin
the world now for a good many years.’
“ ‘You forget the United States!’ I
could not help interjecting.
“ ‘Beg pardon, Yank/ said he. ‘Beg
pardon!’ ”
Deceitful Man.
Two men were standing together in a
postoffice. One of them happened to
notice that a postcard held in the fin
gers of tile other was addressed to the
holder.
“Why, what does this mean?” he
asked. “Do you address letters to
yourself?”
“In this case, yes,” was the answer.
“That’s funny.”
“Well, not so very. See the other
side.”
He held it up, and the other side
read; “Brother Blank—There will be
a meeting of the I\ O. O. S. B., No.
3*7, at the hall tonight to transact
special business. Members not present
will be fined $10. J. B., secretary.”
“Yes, but 1 don’t exactly catch on,"
protested the innocent.
“Oh, you don’t? Well, I got the
cards printed myself. The society is
all a myth. When I want to go ©ut of
an evening, I direct one of these cards
to my house. I reach home, and my
wife hands it to me with a sigh. I
offer to stay home and stand the fine
of 2 guineas, but of course she won’t
allow that. That’s all, hay friend, ex
cept that the scheme is worked by
hundreds of others, and the poor, de
luded wives haven’t tumbled to it
yet.”
Unexpeetetl Opposition.
While Lord Kitchener was engaged
in suppressing the Prieskn rebellion lie
ordered the destruction of a certain
farmhouse. Not seeing any signs of
his orders being carried out, he rode
over with ills staff and found an inter
esting situation.
In the doorway of the doomed farm
house stood a pretty young Dutch girl,
her hands clasping the doorposts and
her eyes flashing Are from beneath hei
dainty sunbonnet. The Irish sergeant
in charge of the party of destruction
was vainly endeavoring to persuade
her to let them pass in, but to all his
blandishments of “Arrah darlint, wisha
now, acushla,” etc., the maiden turned
a deaf ear, and a deadlock prevailed.
Kitchener's sharp “What’s this?” put
a climax to the scene.
The girl evidently guessed that this
was the dreaded chief of staff, and hei
lips trembled in spite of herself.
Kitchener gazed sourly at her, stand
ing bravely though tearfully there, and
turned to his military secretary. “Put
down,” lie growled, “that the com
mander’s orders with reference to the
destruction of nightman's farm could
not be carried out owing to unexpected
opposition. Forward, gentlemen.”—

It Met Requirement!!.
Charles Hoyt, the farce writer, once
invited a friend to go to the theater
with him.
"What play?” queried his friend.
“Nat Goodwin in ‘Nathan Hale,’ ”
said the playwright.
“I’m very sorry,” said the friend,
“but you'll have to count me out.”
"What’s the matter?’ asked Hoyt in
surprise.
"Well, to be frank with you, I don’t
like Nat Goodwin in nnythlng. I hate
him personally and can’t enjoy him as
an actor, and, as far as 1 am concern
ed, I wouldn’t mind seeing him dead.”
“Then this is your play,” slyly added

lect. “You don’t want to miss it. They
hang him in the last act.”—News Let

“No, Maria; I can't go to church until
