About .the i"intrs That Were Made

ring Itself Settled the Question.
[Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis,]
It was a lightnin rod man who start-
ed the schoolhouse "discussion. He
came along the other day and saw that
the schoolhouse was without a rod,
and he went to the town board and of,
fered to put one up for so much. The
town board wrestled over it all day
without eomin to a conclusion, and
when it got to be known all over Jericho
a big crowd assembled at the postoflice
in theevenin to talk the matter over.
It was Deacon Spooner who called the
crowd to order and said:
"As it appears to ire and to a major-
ity of the citizens of this town thatan
epoch in the history of Jericho has ar-
rived, I call upon the lightnin rod man
to state his case."
"There ain't much to state," replies
the man. "I've offered to put up two
rods, on the schoolhouse and warrant it
a good job for $40. Bela as a school-
house is an emporioiii- of _knowledge
and bein as the cause of education may
be said to be the bulwarks of liberty,
I've -knocked' $15 off the reg'ar price."
"I take it that he's made a; p'int,"
says thedeacon as he tanks on the
floor with Ills cane. "Emporium of ed -

acation and:bulwarks of liberty seem
to come in jest right and bit the school-
house -on all sides at once. I fur. one
_am s"tandin aeiitral in this bizness, and
I'd like to hear both sides of the ques-
tion. ' Mobbe Silas Lapham, who lives
next door .to : the schoolhouse, would
like to make a.few remarks." '
"As fur me," says Silas as he rises
up, "I'm ag'in the idea of a lightnin
-;ltod. That there schoolhouse was built
13 years ago, and durin them 18 years
we've had 72 thunderstorms. If she's
dodged 72, why can't she dodge 200?
Why can't she keep right on dodgin till
she tumbles down of old age? Forty
oilers fur a lightnin, rod means more
taxation. Thar's sigh a thing as an
emporium of education, but thar's also
Bleb .a thing as an emporium of taxa-
tion. Jericho is out of debt. and no
one kicking but let the hand of ex-
cessive taxation clutch her throat, and
bow long would it take to' strangle the
life out of .her? ; I'm askin you to
pause and ponder afore .it is too late."
"Silas, you've made a p'tht and a
strongone," •says the deacon when the
applause has snbsicled. "If the school-
house bas dodged 72 thunderstorms,
thar's no reason to think the wonq.
keep up the record. Yes, it's a pint,
and mebbe the lightnin rod man would
like to answer it."

"He's made a"• p'int, gentlemen=he's

whacks on the stove and looks around.
' "Yes, sir, when he talks about our

"I'm with Silas Lapp ham," says Enos
as he shets up his jackknife and pias
feet under him. "I'm fur letti.a

I said I'd lether take her cliauees,and
she come through all right. I observe
Moses Forbush among, the audience,
and, as Moses built the fence around
the schoolhouse, mebbe be's got sun -
thin to say."
"I ain't ag'in lightnin rods," says.
Moses in his slow 'way --"I'm not again
'em fur what they are. It 'pears to
me however, that we'd better begin at
the bottom instead of the roof. Thar's
nbout 20 hogs nestin .under the school-
house, and thar's about 20 holes in the
floor. I sorter like the idea of a light-
nin rod, and i sorter like the idea of a
new floor and drivin the hogs out. ,One
idea sorter balances the t'othcr, and I
don't want to cast my vote either way."
- "You hevn't made a p'int," says the
deacon, "but nobody expected you to.
1 take it, however, that you go in fur
an emporium of education, beim you
got the job of bulletin the fence and
hev seven children goin-to school."
"Yes, I -think I do," replies Hoses.
"I've allus felt that it was my duty
to uphold the Magna (Marta of liberty,
and when it conies to boostin the
wheels of progress and civilization I'm
good to lift a ton."
It was then suggested that the light-
nin rod man might want to say sunthin'
more, and he went 'at it and trade a
reg'lar Fourth of July oration. IIe pic-
tured George Washington, John Han-
cock, Thomas Jefferson and half a doz-
en more goin to school to learn how to
spell such words as "liberty," "free-
dom" and "bulwarks." t, He pictured
them schoolhouse's`bein struck by light -
nits fur the want of rods, and he had
tears in Joab Warner's eyes in less'n
five'minits. Then he pictured the hap
py children of Jericho crowded into the
schoolhouse on a stimmer',s ' day.
Among them was future lawyers; doc-
tors, editors, statesmen and poets.
They was drinkin in deep drafts of
education when's black cloud appeared
over. Jim Taylor's barn, a rumble of
thunder was heard, and a ; minit ''later
a thunderbolt shot out and struck the
schoolhouse, and thar was a tragedy to
convulse the world. The town had
saved $38 on a lightnin rod, but whar
was the schoolhouse, the schooltna'am
and 44 scholars? Some ''was sboutin
and some was wipin their eyes when
the man sot down, and 'after Deacon
Spooner had declared" it the strongest
pint he ever heard he made ready to
put the question to a vote. Jest then
in comes Lisa Billings, and the deacon
turns to him and says:
"Lish, weare bevin ein a m eetin> about
r
that 'lightnin rod on the 'schoolhouse.
As, . you - painted the . buildin_ mebbe
you'd like' to say sunthin. Are you fur
it or ag'In it?"
"Neither ; one," answers Lish after
awhile..
"Are you .standin neutral?"
"Not exactly."
"Then, how do you make it out?"
"Why, the durned old buildin fell
clown about an hour ago of its own
self, and 1 don't reckon thar's any call
to waste any breath about the mat-
ter." M. QUAD.

The,First National Convention.
What may be called the first national
convention was not held' by .either of
the great parties. It was conducted
by what was known as the Anti -Ma
sonic party and was held in Baltimore
in September, 1831. Delegates attend-
ed.from every state (not chosen,.how-
ever,. on a basis of electoral strength),'
a 'president -and vice president were
nominated, and a platform was adopt-
ed. The Democrats held their first na-
tional convention in Baltimore in May,
1832, 313 delegates being present.; As
this year, the -only contest was over
the vice presidency, General Harrison
having a walkover; for first place :1110
opponents convened in Washington and
named 'Henry Clay, 17 out' of 24 states
being represented. ' Since then nom',
bating conventions have been the yule.

resolved to give ber a hard scare. I
rolled up a lot of old newspapers into
a long bundle and laid the package

was asleep and didn't hear the. Then
I`. opened the window a little ways
and crept; into bed, Some time after
midnight she nudged the and said:
'Jim, I'm sure you didn't open that
window. It's like a bake oven -in the

went to the window and threw the
sash as high as it would go. As I did
so I gave a little shriek and then flung
my bundle down to the walk below.
It struck with a dull thud, and I
dodged behind the curtain to await
developments. The room was very
dark, and I couldn't see my wife, but
1 beard her raise herself, to a sitting

1DNE MEAL A DAY.'`
Pronounced n Secret of Ilninan
health and Happiness.;
It is by no means impossible that
the newest world lecturer 'will allude
to the delays of the single meal re-
form. The one meal a day plan was
successfully practiced by some 30,000,- ,
000 men of the healthiest, wealthiest
and most intelligent nations " of an-
tiquity for nearly' 1,000 years.
No unprejudiced observer can deny,
that for the vast plurality of our fel-
low men ,there is no other practicable
way to live up to the principle of the
sanitary', maxim, "Never to 'eat till
we have leisure to digest" -
Nine out of ten laborers have to hur-
ry from the breakfast table to their
daily work and cannot count upon
more tban a few minutes of afternoon
meal rest. The same in rolling mills,
shipyards, railway yards, workshops;
and schoolroom's.
Less than a year's time would suffice
to give the one meal habit the force of
a second nature, and those who would
like to form an .idea of its universal;
observance during the classic period
of antiquity should read Peter Bayle's
dissertation on "Domestic Life In
Athens and Rome" or : De Quincey's
humorous essay, published in the sec-
ond
volume of miscellanies under the
title, Dinner, Real and Reputed." !
There would be time for play, for
reading, for the enjoyment of art and
entertaining conversation.
Sifnstrokes would be known only
from the traditions ` of insanitary
barbarism. The granger's youngsters
would get afternoon sports enough to
think life on a`: farm decidedly' worth
living. , No after dinner martyrdom
would tempt truants, housekeeping
drudgery would be lessened two-thirds.

Pigeons After a Journey.
The carrier Pigeon, when traveling,
neyer,feeds. If the distance be long,
it Nies on without stopping to take
nutriment, and at last arrives thin,
exhausted and almost dying. If corn
be presented to it it refuses to eat,
contenting itself with drinking a little
water and then sleeping. Two or
three hours later it begins to eat with
great .moderation and sleeps again im-
mediately afterward. If its flight has
been very prolonged the pigeon will
proceed in this manner for 48 hours
before recovering its normal mode of
feeding.
