left on a week's visit to souio distant
relatives, and a day later the village
constable was standing at nis aoor

tho rusty, cannon I'lnnnlgau had
mounted on his front hedge.
An Instant later a brick whizzed
pnst tho constable's car and sninshcd

The Indignant officer, followed by
the populace, rushed to i'lunnlgan's

Why Hals Would Not Do.
When N. O. Nelson, tho profit sharer,
decided to transfer his cooperative
business from St. Louis to tho country
ho looked about carefully for a fuvor
ablo locntlou. Ills personal friend
Dr. Edward Everett Halo accom
panied him on ouo of his tours In
search of this. A slto was chosen, and
a nnmo for it wus then In order.
Among others, Halo was considered,
but rejected because, as Mr. Nelson
said, "tho name differs from Its dis
tinguished owner in being only four
letters long, while ho wns six feet four
or thereabouts." So Leclnlro was
chosen In honor of tho pioneer French
profit sharer. World's Work.
