It is so fresh, simple in narration, and yet so free from any pretentions to greatness that one is charmed from the start. It makes wholesome reading for all classes.

In neither instance has his bill been paid. In response to the last bill that he sent in he was informed that there was no "available appro priation" to draw on.for payment of tHis claim. The bill was not denied and will likely be paid later, but Mr. Wells can hardly figure out why there are no funds at present, especially in the face of the fact that tax money is going into the state treasury all the time.
