Worth Pre**rvlng.
Anything, which has once bad
claims to admiration or respect in a
country place is slow to lose them, at
least In the eyes of the old inhabit
ants.
A gentleman who had bought an
abandoned farm on the outskirts of
a small town found a dilapidated
‘•carryall’’ in the bam, whose best
days were evidently so far In the
past that ho considered it quite
worthless.
“I might as well have this shabby
old concern chopped up for kindling
wood,” he remarked to the old town
carpenter, who hod come out to the
form with him to look tho bam and
bouse over with a view to reshin
gling them. "It's too disgraceful to
have on tho promises."
“What be you nay ini" demanded
tho old carpenter, turning n shocked
face upon tho reckless spoakor. “If
you ain't got no ubo for that ‘shabby
old consorn,' os you namo it, I sb’d
bo plonsed to fetch it home with me
when I go. Why, I can recall wlion
that kcrryall was alius the fust ker-
ridgo'at a funeral I It was borrored

A Novel Instrument of Death.
According to tradition, ICenith, tho
legendary king of Scotland, was al
lured to his death in n most novel
manner. Konitli had slain a son
and brother of Fcnnollu, who to be
avenged ordered Wiltus, a famous
silversmith, to construct a death
dealing statue of silver.
In its right band tho statuo hold u
basin and in the left band an apple of
pure gold, both sot with diamonds
anil other precious stones.
To touch the apple was to defy
death, it being so arranged that any
one guilty of such vandalism would
be immediately riddlod by poisoned
arrows shot from oponingB in the
body of the statuo.
Kenith was invited to inspoct tho
wonder, and, as Fonnolla hod lmpoil.
bo tried to pluck tho precious imita
tion fruit. When his hand touched
tho apple bo was wounded by tlie ar
rows nnd died whore he fell.—Jew-

There 1b no reason why you should
