Since the days of Baron Munchau- gen, and even -before that, the clever liar has not been without honor—and an audience. This was what William Pellet, of Rochester, was musing over the other afternoon at the Hoffman house, in New York. Mr. Pellet is a | commission m&n and travels through the eastern and middle states buying farm*produce. He said to York Tribune reporter: “The rustic liar, as he holds forth fm the village congress at the local “IS THAT SO?" store or tavern, once in awhile reels off a gem of mendacity that does credit to the profession. Here is a talk I overheard one bleak, wintry day upin Madison county, N. Y., between ‘Hi’ Root, the local merchant, and one of his bucolic friends, ‘Hank’ Norwood, when the latter drifted in for the daily session: “*‘Mornin’, Hank.’ “ ‘Mornin’, Hi; fine growin’ weather, this.” “*Yes, Hank; looks as if everything ‘ll turn out good ‘cept ’taters. Bugs is awful bad. Had eny trouble?’ “Yes, lots of it. Do ye know, I tried everything to stop’em, but, I vow, they yot the better of me.’ “Didn't get into the house yet, did they, Hank?’ “*T never seen 'em so bold, Hi. Why, yesterday Becky was cookin’ some ‘taters in the oven, an’ the consarned bugs walked right up an’ tried to open the stove door so as to get at’em.” “Ts that so? Well, thet’s bad enuf, to be sure, but they got in on me, too, her at the store.’ Phat so, Hi?’ “*Yes, siree; they got in the cellar an’ et up all they was in the bin, an’ only a few minutes ago I seen a couple on the desk, lookin’ over the ledger to see who was orderin’ ’te.ters for next a” year. ANSWER PLEASED BLISS. Chicago Bell Boy Wins Michigan Governor's Favor by an Im- pertinent Retort. The Chicago Inter Ocean reports that for the first time in a good many years A. T. Bliss, governor of Michi- gan, heard himself called an uncompli- mentary name the other night without resenting it. The person to give the affront was a bell-boy at the Palmer house. ‘The governor stood aghast for a moment, and those who nessed the affair expected him to chas- tise the offender. Instead he shook hands with him, and told him he was “all right.” The chief executive of the Wolverine state had tried to joke with the boy “IT'S A CINCH, ANYWAY.” in buttons.

When Mr. Bliss had recovered his breath he started after him, and in three long strides was at his side. “Shake, young man, shake; you're all right,” said he, extending his hand; “You called the turn on me better than it’s been done since the day they elect- ed me governor of my state.” ile that I’m not paid to | Coryvricuts &c yone sending a sketch ard description ly ascertain our opinion free wuethe: ion is probably patentable.

CORPSE WANTED DRINK. Rain Prevents Burial of a Live Wom- @n aud Also Saves Her “Mur- derer’s” Neck. Near the little town of Denmark, | Tenn., Eliza Williamson, an aged ne- | gress, was struck upon the head by | @ negro man with murderous intent, | he using a fence rail asa weapon. The woman fell as if shot through the! heart, and with a few gasps apparent- ly died. The body, says the New York World, was carried to her house, near by, and was prepared for burial the next day. Gradually it grew cold and rigid, and the closest examination failed to dis- cover any indications of life. The heart was still, the eyes were set, and | ight inches tall, > Be a CALMLY ASKED FOR A DRINK. upon the sable face the ashen hue of death had fallen. All of Sunday afternoon and night watchers sat beside the bier. When the time appointed for the burial came a mighty rain set in that lasted all of that day and far into the night, mak- ing it impossible for the burial to take place, and another long night of watch- ing came on Monday night. It 7a | then intended to bury the body early Tuesday morning and preparations were made for the event. Just before the hour arrived the watchers were surprised to see the supposed corpse rise up in the coffin, and the eyes open slowly and looked wonderingly upon the surroundings. The woman did not appear in the least alarmed or astonished, but calm- ly asked for a drink of water, which some one'in the assembly less fright- ened than the rest gave toher. Then she lay quietly back in the coffin and fell into a natural sleep, her respira- tion and circulation gradually return- ing to their normal condition. A physician was summoned, and after carefully examining the patient after she had been removed from the coffin, declared that her chances for final recovery were reasonably good. She had at most sustained only a skull fracture. In the meantime the assailant of the woman had been placed in jail on a charge of deliberate murder, and against him had already grown a strong sentiment among the negroes where the supposed murder had oc- curred. When informed of the happy turn affairs had taken he was almost wild with joy. REVISING THE BIBLE. Bobby Understood What the Term Meant and Aired His Kaowledge Before Mr. Slow. “Have you a r New Testament in the library, Miss Reid?” asked the young man who was making an evening call. “No, Mr. Slow,” she replied, “I re- gret to say we-haven’t.” a revised cop asked “What's Bobby, who had been permitted to sed copy of the ( HAS ©.iQUE RECORD. Me. Athy Is Famea in Kentncky ase Mail Carrier, Preacher and Mighty Hunter. Several unusual records have been made by Robert L. Athy, who carrieg | the mail etween Campton and Sprad- ling, K, He and his little gray horse have together traveled 35,056 miles im the eight years they have been om ; duty, and not once has either of them failed in his duty, Mr. Athy’s odd record begins with the day of his birth. He was then con- sidered the tiniest baby ever born in America. He weighed only one and a half pounds. and his legs were only two inches long. Now he is five feet and weighs 145 pounds. Before he was appointed mail car- rier of route No. 29,300, he taught im ROBERT L. ATHY. (He Is a Mail Carrier, Preacher and a Mighty Hunter.) several country schools. He is par- ticularly fond of children. A mile from Spradling is a spot where he is sure to meet an assemblage of his small friends, who immediately demand candy as a toll. He never disappoints them. He acts as general delivery agent and business agent for the entire route, carrying dry goods and all sorts of merchandise. As a hunter and a preacher he has c ce reputation. He has killed 900 rabbits, 340 squirrels, 75 opossums, three bears, one wildcat, two panthers and 500 snakes, all in the past eight years. As a preacher he does not lack a congregation. Every day at Lena op his way to Spradling and at Spradling, also, he finds people assembled to hear his ten-minute sermon. Now he is engaged to the prettiest girl in the mountains. Previous to losing his heart to her he had been engaged to be married to 39 different girls; and each time he was the one who broke the engagement. Nowhe is sure that his fate is sealed. The road over which his route car- ries him is the worst in Wolfe county. It is rough and rocky, up hill and down dale, over bowlders and across deep Stillwater creek. Twenty-seven times in floods he has forded the creek hold- ing the mail pouch in his teeth, and has had to k three les through the mountains in order to reaci his destination. CLARENCE H. MACKAY.
