Cashier Obadi ,h Walton has
been driving Seaborn Chamber’s
horse for several weeks a'.tendi g
to business. Last week the horse
became ill. Vetinarians from a
distance were called and ministered
to the suffering animal but he
failed to respond to the treaiment
very rapidly. Allopathists were
th u given a trial but the horse re
mained sick. At last the parties
mostly interested decided it was a
case of death at best s) they
turned the local horse doctors loose
on the horse to furnish the job.
The do *tors swarmed around,
each with about six different rem
edies that would effect a sure cure.
The dope was brought and put to
him until he could feel it, but he
failed to improve, of course. Then
it was deci led to let hirn die with
out any more punishment, so he
was turned in a dry stall. As
soon as all the medicine got out of
him he commenced to mend and is
now eating about a half bundle ol
fodder a day and is expected to re
cover.

AN AWFUL FALL
Man Drops 10'000,000 Miles
A man died recently and went
straightway to heaven’s gate where
h i demanded admittance. Ht. Peter
examined his credentials and then
began to question the won d-be
guest as follows:
“Have you been a truthful man
while on earth!”
‘‘Yes, I have alw tys told the
truth, even to giving in my prop
erty at its true valuation.”
“Have you kept the ten com
mandments!”
“Yes, even to loving my neigh
bors as myself.”
“Have you always paid your
debts!”
“Yes, most of the time. But I
must confess that 1 have failed in
a few little matters.”
Ht. Peter then opeued the record
book he was holding in his hand,
and said: “My friend you arc on
record here as having read a news
paper for severa 1 years and then
havi g it marked refused without
paying for it.”
“Yes, I did that.”
“Wed, by so doing you have
sinned against the holy ghost and
there is no chance for you to
enter here.”
After stroking his beard aud
looking down a few seconds St.
Peter pressed a button and in
stepped two angels with shining
swords. “Take this man”, le
said, “to the highest battlements
of heaven, turn his head liellwards
and strike his heels with light
niug.”
