addition to tho cordiality between tho
two nations."

up for revision in 1909,-but that it
was not expected that America would

A PIOUS HOPE
Forty yrs ago he wickedest per
son in Allen county, O., was old man
Ellison. He was a well to do farmer
with ason, wife and daughter, who
were highly esteemed. The deprav-.
ity of tho family was confined exclu
sively to the old man. He worked
out his full limit of toughness. Fights
at political meetings and in the bar
rooms of Findlay were his choicest
diversions. When he was 60 years
old he was at his best. Not until
he approached three score and Jen
did he mellow down, and then but a
little. Once when attending a rais
ing, he participated in the cheer to
such an extent as to become melan
choly. As he sat at tho dinner table
he soliloquized thus on his own decadence:
"The ole man's been putty tuff,
boys. He's rassled. with some mighty
hard cases, the ole man has. But
it's about over. The ole devil is after
him hard an' fas', the ole devil is,
an' by 'n' by he'll get him. But he
won't keep him long, the ole devil
won't. By 'n' by he'll be glad to
fetch the ole man back."
"Well," spoke up Bill Petit, his
fiercest foe, "all I hope is when he
does, he'll forget where ho found
you." Now York World.
