and said he would write Mr. Eubank’s 
name in it, so that when he returned home 
he could tell his neighbors that he had the 
pleasure of stopping with their old friend 
and brother in the church, and what a 
pleasant time he spent with him and his 
family. After making a few marks on the 
paper he complained that he could not 
write very well, when Mr. Eubank sugges¬ 
ted that he would write his name for him. 
This offer was accepted, and Mr. Eubank, 
without the least thought of what advan¬ 
tage might be taken of it, wrote his signa¬ 
ture in the book where directed. The fellow 
availed himself of the hospitalities of Mr. 
and Mrs. Eubank’s home until the next 
morning after breakfast, when he departed 
without offering to pay for the accommoda¬ 
tions he had received, or even thanking his 
host.” 
After he had disappeard Mr. Eubank 
got uneasy about signing his name, and 
hitched up and drove to town to notify the 
banks and business men to look out for a 
bogus note or check. He thus probably 
saved himself,though the signature may yet 
turn up in the form of a note.

* Cooperation is the latest organ- 
30 * ization that we are asked to 
express an opinion about. As stated in 
its circular, the objects of this cooperation 
are:— 
FIRST.—To Inculcate the principles of Honor, 
Economy and Friendship. 
SECOND —To provide a sick or accident benefit 
after 8u days’ membership, not to exceed $5 per 
week. 
THIRD.-To pay $100 to each member who holds a 
continuous membership six months. 
The “working plan” is very simple. No 
secrecy, no medical examinations, every¬ 
body over 10 years can join. The estimated 
cost is given as follows: 
Initiation fee. $8 00 
Certificate fee. 2 00 
Contribution to relief fund (to be deducted 
from final payment). 10 00 
Expense dues (50c. monthly) total. 8 00 
Weekly dues, 26 weeks. 26 00 
$44 00 
In order to get $100 in five months you 
must obtain one good member in three 
weeks. If you obtain two members you 
draw $100 in four months, or in three 
months if you obtain three members. 
Would we have anything to do with such 
a scheme ? No, not under any circum¬ 
stances. Suppose you do get three mem¬ 
bers. They would put into the concern 
$132 in six months. You in the meantime 
have put iu $44. The concern can afford to 
pay you $56 in addition to what you have 
put in, just as long as two or more new 
members are admitted for every loan that 
is made. It is absurd to suppose that such 
a state of things can long exist, and the 
latest members are pretty sure to lose all 
they put iu. That is the history of hun¬ 
dreds of similar organizations.

From the snow-

tains and burning 
deserts of 
Wyoming, 
As one travels through New Eng- 
• ^ land he is compelled to notice the 
3* miles of great, gray stone walls 
that stretch in every direction, up and 
down the hills and across the fields. Many 
of them are now tumbling down, others 
are being removed—sunk beneath the 
ground—put out of sight because they 
steal valuable land away from the plow. 
Does it ever occur to you how hard our an¬ 
cestors must have worked to build those 
walls ? They toiled day after day, hoping, 
doubtless, that coming generations would 
bless their work. The generations are 
here, disappointed and provoked at the 
work, anxious to put the stones, like the 
“ancestors,” under ground, and have “no 
fence 1” Lookout that your work is just 
and right. Be true to yourself and to your 
own times. Don’t worry about “ coming 
generations.” Make to-day’s work com¬ 
plete.

Saturday Look out for creamery “sharps” 
J who are now at work in the 
4 * West. Prof. Henry tells the 
Breeders’ Gazette about the methods em¬ 
ployed by a dairy supply house in Chicago. 
Unfortunately he does not give the name : 
“ This company sends its slick-tongued 
agents to the business men of small cities 
and villages of the West, who convince 
them that a creamery is essential to the 
success of the town. Those approached 
often profess ignorance as to how to pro¬ 
ceed, but the agent has knowledge to sup¬ 
ply the whole party and is free to give it. 
Plans and equipment for a factory are 
shown and described. While a first-class 
creamery can be built for two or three 
thousand dollars, many towns have been 
taken in to the tune of six, eight, and ten 
thousand. Usually there is a little cold 
storage annex to the scheme, which serves 
as a blind and helps cover up the fraud. 
To conceal the hook on which the gudge¬ 
ons are caught it is covered with what 
seems business like sagacity by the com¬ 
pany taking five hundred or a thousand 
dollars of stock in the concern. There can 
be found in the West to-day elaborate 
creameries built by these parties, that have 
never run six months. They are built In 
sections where there are few dairy cows, 
and the people have no dairy education or 
training whatever. The company has 
made two profits in the price for building 
and equipment, and can well afford to lose 
the stock it took in the concern.”

The “ Kunger ” men (conjurors) reap rich 
harvests, but of late two smart colored 
scamps have started on a new “ science.” 
They advertised a method of taking the 
“ kinks ” out of the hair of a negro. It 
was worth $100 they said, and they ob¬ 
tained several patients before they were 
forced to run away. Another scamp 
claimed to be able to change the color of 
the negro’s skin by grafting on to his body a 
piece of skin from a white person. This 
fraud, ioo, made considerable money be¬ 
fore he was exposed.

• eyes wide open. Wny April 
* • should have been selected for 
the month in which to try to “fool” or joke 
people is beyond ordinary comprehension. 
A fair sample of an “ April fool” joke was 
played on an editor over in Connecticut 
last week. A young woman came to the 
office and told the editor a story of a poor 
old lady who was trying to collect 1,000,000 
canceled postage stamps. If she could 
only collect the stamps, she could get a 
comfortable resting place in an Old Wo¬ 
man’s Home where her life would be made 
easy. The kind-hearted editor advertised 
and boomed the thing so well that old 
stamps came pouring in from all sides. 
After the post-office had been nearly filled 
with these stamps, it was found that the 
whole thing was a “joke.” There was no 
old lady at all I This is a fair sample of 
the average “ April fool.” As to which is 
the greater fool—the one who originates 
such a “joke” or the victim, we vote for 
the former 1 There is absolutely nothing 
to be gained by a collection of ordinary 
postage stamps; and that editor ought to 
have known that the representations made 
were false.
