"We seldom have any calls for it. But you live in the country, don't yo?" "So you can dell, I see yaw dat's right. I lift in de coundry." "Well rabbits are plenty out there why don't you shoot one and get bis grease ?" "Show! a rabbit mit a gun? Ha, ha ! not some more. Off I could shood one mit a clup or a dornicks, I not so mncb care. But off you blease, geep de guns for de vors. My frent, I tell you a faict ; I not could shood a honze !

And the honrst Teuton walked out, wagging his head and making a deprecatory motion with his hand.

The Building Associations of our town have been the direct cause of scores of the people owning their own homes. The 50 ct. association has just paid out, and the managers state that the interest was about eleven per cent, on each dollar invested.
