Fig Leaves and Tailor*.
Since the residents of the garden of
Eden discovered some years ago that
apples were good to eat a constant
source of worry to descendents of both
Adam and Eve has been the question,
"what shall I wear?" But now the
modern art of tailoring steps in and
solves the question without effort on
your part. Make your wants known to
your tailor and he will do the rest. The
O. K. tailor has the latest styles and
swellest goods. H. Boam,
The O. K. Tailor.

The crops look very well, but the
weeds are trying to take them this wet
weather.
The singing school was a success.
The children learned very fast and
sing very well.
The school bonds were lost in our
election. Those who favored them were
careless; those who oposed them were
energetic. We know now that many of
our people oppose school houses, church
houses and the up-building of the
country when it only costs them a few
pennies each year, and the most of
them have been using the school house
in Granite which we paid the hard cash
for nearly four years ago. Does that
show that they appreciate these bless-
ings when we are all dependent one
upon the other? Do you suppose they
will never expect more favors at our
hands? Taxpayer.
The Ct>lf|iiitoa« lent.
Mr. J. Fofciei eraser, who. not con-
tent with cycling around the world.
ely returned from a railway trip
through Siberia and other far eastern
pruts, tells a story about the ubiquity
of the Scot. Once he landed at a
p ace in the Pe vian Gul: \v! ien sound ;
like Bunderabbus—even if it is not
rpeHed so—and asked whether there
was any Britisher aoout. He was dl-
lected to an isolated co:tige or corru-
pted hut. which was the abode, he
was asfured. of a man who had been
r ni there 'to. keep an eye on the
^'".gue. He knocked on ihe door and
n invited to con e in. "I hear you
ie a Brit 1-her." lie said; "my name
'9 ."rs?rr. ft: d 1 come from Edin-
burgh." "Ah, that i3 Interesting,"
aid the solitary pl gm |-ispe:-tor. "my
"!p.TTie Is also Fr'ser. rn1 I was bora
it Aberdeen."—i.ondon Chronicle.
LAID THE BLAMEM THE GOD PAN.
Anclant Omki Had In fan lorn Explana-
tion for tar.
We use the word panic, or panic fear,
for a needless or ill-grounded fright.
What Marshal Saxe terms le coeur hu-
main, is no other than fear occasioned
by surprise. It is owing to that cause
that an ambush is generally so de-
structive; intelligence of it beforehand
renders it harmless. The following
curious relation speaks of the origin
of the term.
"It sometimes happens with the an-
cient Greeks, well disciplined and com-
monly brave as their armies are, that
a body of troops, without any attack
being made or threatened, would take
upon them to disperse and fly for
their lives, leaving their camps and
baggage, throwing away their arms,
running over hill and dale for days
and nights, till their legs and their
fright wore out together.
"As they were philosophers enough
to .know that there could be no act
without a motive, they excused them-
selves on these occasions by saying,
that the god Pan, a shaggy and ven-
erable person, with goat's feet, had
appeared to them, and that it conse-
quently became them, as pious persons,
to do their utmost to break their
necks in a fright; hence the phrase^
nanic terror.—Mirror.
THE PLAINT OF AN "EASY MARK."
toys the Man Who Doaa Extra Worn
la Alwaja "Worktil." *
"Why is it," asked a modest young
bread winner, "that when 1 stay at the
office after hours voluntarily to do an
extra amount of work, somebody who
Is in charge pounces upo.i me as his
justifiable victim evidently and given
me still more to do?
"That has happened to me time after
time in my business, and at each rep-
etition 1 have taken a vow that if I am
ever in charge of an office I shall give
any one of my subordinates who sits
down and does work which isn't speci-
fically required of him credit for what
he does do, and let it go at that, with-
out adding insult to injury, as it were,
by giving him something further to
do."
"Of course, it's an old saying," con-
tinued the young man, according to
the Now York Mail and Express, "that
the man who does the most work is
the man usually 'worked.' But it's d'. •
couraging, don't you think? Strange-
ly enough, though, he goc3 ahead and
lets himself be 'worked.' with only a
weak objection to ease his feelings."
Erilaoit'a <Julck Wit,
There Is a sparkling, even dazzling
tluaUty in Edison's repartee, which is
usually a surprise to strangers. Peo-
ple generally approach the f:eavy, self-
contained looking figure expecting re-
plies of ponderous technical import,
hence their surprise.
The wizard was approached the oth-
er day by an enterprising lightning
rod agent anxious for some word of
praise for his wares from the great
man. Edison was non-committal.
"Well," said the lightning rod man
at last, "do you approve of lightning
rot's, anyway?"
"It depends upon the building," said
Edison.
' "But is it any good in any care?
Would you advise their use on church-
es. for Instance?" ventured the rod
man.
"Well," replied Edison, with a twin-
kle, "they might be of some use on
churches. It does look as though Prov-
idence were a bit absent-minded at
times."—Galveston News.
