Mixed Tallow With His Lard.

A former Akron butcher who now resides in Oregon has had a touch of the Holy Ghost, and as a result is repenting for having sold his customers lard in which he had mixed up a little tallow. The penitent chap's name is Frank Spera, and he wrote the Akron News this letter: "Dear Editor Shesler: 1 want to make restitution and beg pardon of people through your paper that I have wronged. When I was in the butcher business in Akron, 1 mixed tallow with my lard and sold it to my customers. I ask all of these people in Jesus' name to forgive me of the offense; and if there are any who are not satisfied with just forgiving me if they will send me a statement of the amount that they think they were wronged, honestly, between God and man, I will make all wrongs right” Ts it wasn’t for the happening of the unexpected, life would be awfully monotonous. - l ■ - ‘ir Hope deferred is apt to give the promoter cold feet
