Some folks would say that the above
is a litt'e t» much mixed up to be very
good in either of its departments, and
that Mr. Cunningham cannot be a very
good watchmakei if he works on guns,
sewing machines, and anything else
that c imes along.
Now let me say to those who may fa
vor me with a perusal of this that my
experiencs in watchmaking runs back
over a quarter of a century, and that
part of my business is under my own
personal supervision, and that I propose
to do the best possible work on every
ob entrusted to me.
The sewing machine department of
my business is in the hands of thorough
]y competent workmen, and I guarantee
every machine that is repaired at the G.
C. S. M. Ex. and R. S. shall be well and
thoroughly done.
Now, if you have a machine that
needs repairing, send or bring it to us,
and if we don’t make it work ail right
we won’t charge you a nickel. We also
have an assortment of second hand ma-

Committee said: “I was born in Box-
bury, Delaware county, New York, on
May 37, 1836. My parents had a small
farm and kept twenty cows which I as
sisted in tending. I attended school
about fifteen miles distant, and when I
was about fourteen yours old obtained a
situation in a store in a neighboring vil
lage.^ I was much interested in mathe
matics, and used to get up at three
o'clock in the morning and study till
six, when the store wns opened. I re
mained in the store for two years when
I made tho acquaintance of a surveyor
who was making a survey of Ulster

"And so you thought kleptomania an
elegant synonym for plnin stealing?”
said a well known retail- dry goods mer
chant to a St. Louis Pont-Dttpatch re
porter, who had expressed somo doubts
on tile subjeot. "Oil, no; tlioro aro in
St, Louis dosons of ludies, tho wives or
daughters of wealthy citizens, who aro
addicted to kleptomania. Every prom
inent dry goods store has several such
customers, and when known they nro
followed from tho timo they enter the
store until they leave il, anil hy careful
waloliing, every little nrlielo tiioy ab
stract iH noted down and included in
their hills, whioli nro always paid with

"One young lady kloptomaniao mani
fests hor disordered mind in stealing
buttons; everything else is snored, but
bIio iuvnrinbly edges up to tho button
counter nnd slyly slips a card with a
dozen or so of buttons into her retinule.
Tho hoys nt tho counter all know her,
nnd place tho commonest buttons with
in her reach. Any kind satistlcH her;
still her hill for buttons during tho year
is something that would surprise you.
Ab hor family nro good customers wo
o(hired to take hack the huthiiin. But
no, they said they would lather consider
anything sho took out of the store in
the light of n purchase. Now the young
lady in question is a model of probity in
all other respects, and seems to ho per
fectly unconscious of liny transgression
of tho mernl law.
“TI10 wife of a well known up-town
pastor is a confirmed kleptomaniac,
innoh to tho sorrow of tho good man,
her lmshnnd. She in never allowed to
go out shopping without being accom
panied l>v some one, nud a messouger in
employed to return tho purloined arti
cles, which aro usually of trifling value.
A venerable old Indy, a devout momhor
of the Presbyterian Church; and a ronl
motherly old soul, is a victim to the
habit. She is a widow nud tho mother
of n young Indy, the announcement of
whoso prospective marriage to one of our
society beaux appeared in tho paper tliu
otlior day. The old Indy Ih wealthy nnd
not addicted to extrnvngnnoo in any
thing. Hlio will steal regardless of tl'10
value of tho nrlielo, and if nothing olso
ia handy will All hor pooltot with paper.
Tho Arst timo hIio was detected in our
store the salesman brought her to my
private oAleo nud complained that she
find stolen somo cotton hose, I thought
it an ordinary onso of thoft, and gavo
her a sovero Jooturo on tho moral wrong
of pilfering, interlarded with threats of
onndiRii punishment on a repetition of
the offence. She both confessed and la
mented lior unhappy propensity, hut
clnimcd that she was nimble to control
this horrible liuhit. She gavo me her
name and address, and when I verified
them I put the enso down ns 0110 of
kleptomania, nnd subsequent events
proved that I was right."
A CONTRAST.
"There is a world of difference bo-
twoon tho yonng man who works nqiuul-
ruplex Instrument in n large city and
a railroad tolegrnpli operator. The
former is a well dretised person, who sits
in his chair and rattles off messages
without apnrent effort. But tho railroad
operator’s life is not a happy 0110. In
nddition to his duties a» operator lionets
as tickot agent, handles freight nnd
sometimes turns the switch. Ilis salary
is also less than that of his city brother.
The wonder is that more accidents do
not occur on rends whuro 0110 man lins
all these duties to nttend to. Thousands
of lives are daily entrusted to liis earn,
and the omission of a fuw clicks from
his brass sounder might send scores of
travelers to a horrible death. In small
towns the manager of tho telegraph of-
Aco is an important personage. Ho
ranks with the Inwyer nnd the doctor in
tho esteem of his townnfolks. Tho ar
rival of 11 green operator is a source of
great amusement in some oAieos. The
fastest sender in the vicinity gets a
newspaper and sends tho now nrrivnl
columns of imaginary‘specials.’ Ficti
tious Chincso cables resembling wash
checks are given to the novice, with
orders to 'rush it.’
Wonderful Shooting.
At the Maine military encampment
tho 100 men selected to give an exhibi
tion skirmish shoot for tho benefit of
visitors did some wonderful shooting
and received many compliments from
the visitors. One thousand shots were
Hrod, each man Aring Ave shots on ad
vance and Ave on retreat. The d istaneos
wore from eighty to 200 yards. Tho
total hits on tho tnrgot (a No. 3) were
960 out of a possible 1,000. Tho anal
ysis shows 76 lmlll s-eyes, 363 centres,
836 inners, 195 outers. When it is re
membered that the size of the target is
not larger than the space occupied by
two average men standing side by side,
some conception of tho wonderful accur-
»cy of tho shooting may ho gained.
Down in Salem tho other day abright
little girl was sent to get some eggs, nnd
on her way hack stumbled and fell,
making sad havoc with the contents oi
her basket. “Won’t you oatoh it when

answered. "I’ve got a grandmother."

would risk tho hump, and told me to
pitoli in, and then went down town.
My churn sniil he would help me, and
mo and him got tho job done Wore two
o’olook. When wo got dime I came in
nud found ma had finished the grab-bag,
nnd hail it all loaded, with tho top
fastened with a puckering string, and
luing on the buck of a chair. Ma was
up-stairs getting her Sunday clothes on,
to go to the Bootable, so it didn't tnko
mo and my oliiini long to ompty tho bog
and get first choice. ‘Thou 1 got our

it nil up hut its head and put that in
just ns the deacon’s hired man came to
take the lmg over to tho sociable. Mo
and my eliiiin went down to liis house
and wailed till tho people got over to
the sociable mid then we wont over and
got up in a troo where wo could see
through un open window, and hear all
Hint wns going on. Pa, he stood over
by the hag nnd shouted, ‘Ton eents a
grhli; don’t lot any body bo backward
in n good oniiHo.’ Throo or four had
put up their ten cents nfid made a grab
when an old ninid from Oshkosh, who
hod been to tho springs for liystorief,
got in her work on tho coflar-ljoi,
Wlion she got the oovor off, ono of tho

and scream. The deacon's folks thought
it wan nnothor attack of hysteria, and pa
nnd tho denoon got hor 011 tho sofa and
held lior while they poured paregorfo
nnd onyonno popper down hor. When
she got IooNoshoHerenmodnJl tho harder.
Then one of the otlior women soo tho
mouse and got up iu a chair nnd shook
her skirts. Just thou the bottom of tho
chair broke anil let her full over on ma
nnd tore her hangs nil down. Ma called
her n ‘hateful thing’ aud told her sho
ought to ho aslinmed of horsolf. Finally
tliuy got tilings in ordor, but no ono
wanted to tnoklo the ling, nnd as hero
wns where tho prolits cnmoin,pnbraoed
up and said he’d like to know why every
body acted so 'spicious, he’d like to see
a grab-bag that would givo him the hys
terics, and said ‘women aro always get-
tin’scared nt nothin’.’ Ho then put
down ton coots anil jnmtnod liis hand

knocked her down in tho deacon's lap.
After pa luul hollered himself hoarse,
and thumped half the people in the
room, tho turtle let go, nnd pn said he
‘could lick the mnn that put that steel

nnd they all went home, I guess pa

And tho hoy went out nnd took a sign,

Land, Labor and Capital.

apt illustration of the relations of laud,
