Dividing With Bill.
A good old preacher who lives in a
small town down in Indiana received
au Invitation a few days ago to travel
several miles into the country for the
purpose of performing a marriage
service. Being too feeble to go on
foot and having no funds with which
to hire a conveyance, the reverend
gentleman was somewhat perplexed
until he happened to think of Bill
Haines, the proprietor of the local
livery stable. lie called on Bill and
mentioned the fact that a young man
and a fair maiden were waiting far
from the madding throng to be joined
in the holy bonds of wedlock, and Bill,
being a man of keen preception, re
plied: "I allow you'd like to get a horse and
buggy to take you out there?"
"I had an Idea that it would be a
fine thing If you could help me in that
way. I'll tell you what I'll do. Wil
liam. If you will let me have one of
your rigs. I'll divide what I get with
you when I return."
"All right." said Bill, "that's a go."
The parson was accordingly provided
with a horse and buggy, and be drove
away. When he got back, covered
with dust and considerably fatigued,
he climbed out of the buggy and.
handing the reins to BUI Haines, said:
"William. I thank you five hundred
times."
"1 thought you was goin to divide
with me." Bill answered.
"I am doing so. When I had pro
nounced them man and wife the groom
offered me a thousand thanks." Chi
