An Ax to Grind.
The familiar expression , "An ax to
gr'oid , " frequently attributed to Benja
min Franklin , originated with Charles
Miner , "svlio introduced the following
tale of AVOC in a short , pithy essay pub
lished in a country newspaper of Penn
sylvania during the year 1S11 : A little
boy is asked by a man wfth an ax and
an engaging smile if his father has a
grindstone , and , the family being in
proud possession of that implement of
welfare , the youngster leads the way
Into the back yard.
"What a fine little fellow you are : "
exclaims the stranger , quite casually ,
as though scarcely conscious of speak *
Ing loud. Of course the boy becomes
at once his most obedient servant and ,
by more well directed praise , brings
water to whet the wheel and heroic
ally turns the grindstone until his
small hands sting with blisters. But
the moment the ax is ground its owner
calls his little fetch and carry slave
"rascal. " crushes his newborn manly
pride by bidding him hurry off to
school. Los Angeles Times.
An Auction Room Incident.
It was an auction sale on Market
street , and the auctioneer was disgust
ed. He had offered a watch and chain
\vhich he claimed to be worth $22. The
first bid was § 1. and he could not get
a second. "I'll find out if there is an
ounce of nerve in this crowd. " said he.
and , taking a one dollar note from his
wallet , he held it up and asked for
bids. A laugh went through the
crowd , but for a couple of minutes no
one bid on the note. "Come on , " said
the auctioneer. "What is the matter ?
Don't you think the bill is good ? "
After another moment the voice of a
small boy was heard. "Five cents , "
he said. "That's the game , " said the
auctioneer. "Who'll make it 10 ? " A
mail in the crowd bid 10 cents , and the
boy raised it to 15. The bidding went
on until the little fellow had got to
93 cents , when the auctioneer handed
him the note. lie gave the auctioneer
another note and got a nickel change.
The auctioneer then treated the crowd
to a lecture on courage. Philadelphia

Some time ajjo the wife of Judge
Blank lost her cook. and. since she had
no other resource , she rolled up her
sieeves ; md for a week provided nidi
meals as the judge had not enjo.ved
fiucc thee happy days when the
III sinks did not keep a cook. The
judge's delight was so great that by
way of appreciative acknowledgment
he presented Mrs. Blank with a beau
tiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally the
incident was a good deal noised about
among the social acquaintances of the
Blanks ami a spirit of envious emula
tion was developed in certain quarters.
It was in this mood tliat Mrs. Jerome
recited the story to her husband.
"What do I get , Jerry. " she asked ,
"if I will do ( lie cooking for a week : "
"Well. " said Mr. Jerome , "at the end
of a week , my dear , you'll get one of
those long ertipe veils. " Argonaut.

unless he told tle : truth.
"Won't there 1 y anybody in heave ! )

If an Englishman wants to feel at
