A man of middle ago and much dignity had fallen asleep In his rocking chnlr on tho promo nado deck, when lie was approached by a sharp nosed, hawk eyed man of 40, who had a parcel In' his hand. "Hey youl" ho exclaimed as ho slap ped tho sleeping man on tho shoulder. "Sir! How daro youl" sternly de manded tho latter, as ho roused up. "I haven't dono anything that I can bo sent to state prison for, have I?" "What is your business with mo, sir?" "That's bettor. That's coming to the point. Let mo draw Up a chnlr and take it easy as wo chat. You told mo at Stonington that you thought you would order twelve dozen as a starter. Suppose you double the' order and tako 10 per cent, discount?" "Sirt What are you talking about, and who do you tako mo for?" demanded the man. ;'Your name is is Faxon firm of Faxon & Brown, dealers in hardware, IsuHlt?"

No, sir!" "Didn't demonstrate the fact that it would catch and hold anything from a mouso to a raccoon, and that the public was bound to buy millions of 'em?" "Sir! Do you intend to insult mo?" chouted the other. "Not for Joseph. I nover Insulted no body. It's curious if I havo mado ,a mis take, Didn't you spend half an hour yesterday investigating my anti-friction, doublo leverage, onti-cogless centennial rat trap, warranted to clean out a whole county of rats, mice, chipmunks, go phers and rabbits inside of ten days, or no pay?" "No, sir! No, sir!" "Well, that's queer! I'd take my affl davy it was you. And you'didn't order twelve dozen, to be shipped the first e'f tho week?" ."Never! You ought to havo more sense and manners, sir! Go away about your business!" "My business is to "sell tho centennial rat trap only tiling over, invented to en tice rats without bait; jio delicate ma chinery to get out of order; no cost for eteam power to.run it. If I have made a mistake I beg your pardon." "Then go away, sir go away beforo I forget my position and do you injury I" "You wouldn't injure a feller for wanting to sell you a rat trap' which lays over all other inventions in America, would you? If you ain't the man who ordered tho twelve dozen, you may want to give mo an order just the same, I will snow you how it "works." "No, you won't! Go away,Bir go, or Fll do you harm! You are tho most Im pudent rascal I've met in a yearl" "Ana you won't look at my trap?" "No, slrl" "And you want mo to leave you in solitude?!' i "At once, sirl" "Well, I'll da it. Some folks force their inventions upon tho public. That ain't my style. My centennial rat trap speaks for itself. I go, sir; but I leave my card. Peruse It at your leisure.

The general manager of our mill is ono of tho road commissioners of this county, and tho duty of keeping tho public roads worked devolves upon him In this district. Instead of makincr the employes of his mill go out and work the highways ho hires it dono and collects from each man his pro rata share of tho cost. Among tho men is an old darky and his son, a strapping buck of great mus cular powers. A few dayB since tho col lection for road tax was in order, and tho necessary amount was deducted from each man's time; among them this old darky and his son. The next day I was waited on by the old man, who said: "1J08S, diden yo tek out tax fer Mun- roe?" "I did," I replied. "Well, dat's wrong, sah. 'kase ho ain't ols 'nough ter wu'k de road." "How old is he?" "Jes' a turnin' 15." "Well, you'll have to see the ceneral manager about It," I said, "for I cannot refund it without his orders." That night ho came again and the manager was present. "You say your boy Is not old onoueh to work tho roads?" ho asked, after the situation was explained to him. "Yes, sah." "How much do we pay Monroe?" asked the manager, turning to me. "Men's wages," I replied. "Then, if he is not old enough to work the roads he is not old enough to do a man's work on the yard, so you may glvo back tho tax collected from him and also make his pay in the future just nair wliat it is now that is, tho reg ular boy's wages." ine old negro looked dumfounded at tho consequence of his speech, but, turn ing to tho general manager, he said: " Yo' need'n mind 'bout cibin' dat back, boss, jes let hit go 'long lak hit bin goiu', an' ef dat no count rascal ebber kick 'bout sech a matter ergin I'll lick de hide offen him; I tole him hit 'uz rite, but deso hyar new f angled niggers knoes mo'on enny body else.

A resident of that vlllago was showing liim "tho sights." At the corner of two wooded lanes was the foundation of a house. It was a stono foundation; but grass had begun to cover it, and it looked as if it were nover to serve its intended purpose. Noxt to it stood a pretty cottage. "A barber lives In that house," remarked that Ball stoniau, pointing to tho cottage. 'He evidenUy made it pay," was my f riend s comment. "And tho man who was going to build there, continued the Ballstonian, point ing to tho abandoned foundation, "gave it up as soon as ho heard that tho barber had bought tlio lot next to him and was going to build there." "And what is the business of the great man who couldn't bear tho thought of living next door to a barber?" asked tho visitor. "Oh, he's a lumber dealer." Albany Express.
