"Well, I guess thu bull hat somo right In
the field," said tho fanner.

Mr. O'Conor turned In his chair nndaald;
"Well, Conkling, I liavo no doubt that you

where It la all rocks and bowlders and
abandoned farms tho old farmhouses go
lug to ruin saw n lwy of twelvo or four
teen hoeing In n cornfield on tho side of
what would be pasture land on anybody
else's farm. The corn was rather poor
looking. Tho traveler reined in his horse
and spoke to the boy. Heisald to him,
"Your corn looks rather smalv"
"Well," sold tho boy, "wo planted dwarf
com."
"Well, It looka yellow, poor nnd thin."
"Well, wo planted yellow corn."
"Well," said tho traveler, "I don't mean
that. It doi.'t look as If you would get
more than half a crop."
"I don't expect to. I planted it on shares."
A DEMAND roll QUICK ACTION.
A man waa working In a field with two

TIIK rOWKll or DISCIPLINE.
Tula la historical and Illustrates the devo
tion of Sheridan to Graut,
Sheridan and Grant were traveling on a
steamboat together with other officers.
Among the passcugors was a young Eng
lishman who used to tako a hand nt poker
with them. Tho usual limit was llity
cents. The Eugllshmnu one day wanted
to go out and light n cigar and asked Gen
eral Sheridan to play his baud while ho
was gone. It was four Jacks pat. Tho
EnglUhmnn when hu returned asked Gen
eral Sheridan how It hnd punned out.
"Oh, tho general bet mo fifty cents," sold
Sheridan, "and I called him and won the
pot"
Tho Englishman looked In amazement
"Well," he ald, "I have heard of military
discipline, but I never heard of It going
that far."
Mr. Howland has a knack of hinting at a
story by giving tho point of one, leaving
the hearer to fill out tho rest Somo exam
ples of that follow:
To censorious critics wo reply In the lan
guage of tho old verger of St. Mary's, Ox
ford, who on being congratulated by his
rector on his constant attention to duty
replied, "I have heard every sermon that
has been preached from this pulpit for fifty
years, and, thank God, I am a Christian
till."
The comments and advice of outsiders
we never particularly appreciated, nnd re
mind one of tho toast given at a village
firemen's ball by a crusty old bachelor,
"Our brave firemen may they be llko our
old maids, ever ready, yet novcr wanted."
If I should assumo to Interpose my ideas
I should be like the gentleman who met a
friend and was asked what he had boeu do

plied. "I am glad of It," said his friend.
"1 always did hate those Bostonlans."

Speaking of a temperance lecture: "It
