It was well kuown in Mayville thai
when Cyrus Fanning lent anything
from a hammer to a plow he expected
a good return for the favor It was a
matter of astonishment to Wilson
Green however when on inquiring of
Mr Fanning how much it would cost
to rent his long ladder for an after
noon Cyrus replied promptly One
dollar fifty
Now look here Cy remonstrated

borrow it for mine isnt long enough
to reach where Im obliged to climb to
search out that chimney leak for the
Widow Sears Cant you make it loss
Xo I cant and Mr Fanning shook
his small head and closed his obstinate
mouth
Why cant you demanded Wilson

Because theres a weak place in it

The Doctors Fee
There came a letup in the rush of pa
tients and the doctor opened two small
envelopes lying on his desk
Its all right he said I wasnt
sure Without offending I couldnt
open the envelopes In the presence of
the persons who gave them to me
They contain the fees left by two
Englishmen who called clce on each
others heels English etiquette is
rather embarrassing for a physician
who is used to patients who hand
over their money with the denomina
tion right on top American fashion
In England it would be considered an
insult to give a physician his fee un
wrapped You cant insult an Ameri
can physician that way but neAvcom
ers credit him Avlth an excess of sen
sibility and give him a good many un
easy moments wondering if he hasnt
been underpaid New York Sun
Penn Very Much a Londoner
William Penn the founder of Penn
sylvania was born on Tower Hill on
Oct 14 1G44 was christened in All
Hallows church became a student
of Lincolns Inn and then joining the
Quakers he abandoned the law and
preached along Avith George Fox in a
meeting house off Lombard street He
once occupied a house In Norfolk
street Strand chosen on account of its
closeness to the river which facilitat
ed escape from duns and he was im
prisoned both at Newgate and in the
Fleet So Penn was after all very
much a Londoner London Standard

The W 0 T U Convention
It is hardly probable that the

siderable numbers haAre escaped
the inspiration and impulse of tin

prayerfully planning for the ad
vancement of temperance and pu
ity or as their emblazoned ban
ner puts it For God and Home
and Native Land
The convention being held in
the extreme soutlnvestem part of
the state it was hardly to be ex
pected that the convention at
tendance or interest or enthusi
asm could attain such proportion
as the annual state gatherings
held in the eastern part of the
state but the convention has
reached an altitude and exhibit
ed a A igor and poAver beyond the
most roseate expectations of the
most optimistic indeed it has
duite equaled any yet held under
the most favorable auspices ThisH
fact redounds to the glory of the
membership of the W C T U of
Nebraska avIio are undaunted by
distance not discouraged by un
favorable circumstances and sur
roundings and to the devotion
and labor of the local union in
attempting so large an undertak
ing and in carrying it thru to
success
The sessions have croAvdcd the
First Methodist church to over
fknving and the interest has been
deep as the enthusiasm has been
spontaneous and lively
