THE TARIFF.
Cojigressman O'JJeill says, in the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, there
was i well-to do Irishman up on
O'Fii lloa street, near Biddle inar
Ket, n St. Louis, who found him
self i.bout to pass away, H.is name
was Maloney. He sent for hia old
friend O'Connor to come and make
hi.s t ill. Everything was in readi
ness and the dying man said:
'Put down 300 for masses up at
St. Lanrence O'Toole's for the re
pose of toy soul.' j
The ren scratched away and
then Mr. O'Connor said :
'What next, vir. Malone t'
'Put down $500 for the Little
Sisters of the Poor. Have ye that
down, Mr. O'Connor!'

So the work went on solemnly
and slowly, the dying man bringing

task, aud ir. O'Connor stopping
now and then ta draw his finger

OVoanor footed up the Perns,
looked arthe balance in tbe little
old bank book, and said:
'No, Mr. Maloney, there's tin

The dying man lay absorbed in
thought for a, lew moments and
then he said :
'O'Connor, put down that tin
oliars to .piud with the byes at

O'Connor began to write ; then
he s;oppeu, looked toward the bed
with a puzzled expression, and ask
ed softly : I
'Mr. Maloney, shall I put it down
to sotud going to the funeral or

The dying man lay very quiet for
few mom nts as he studied the
I'oli'em, and then, with an effort,
replied :
O'Connor, put down tm dollars
to spind goin' to the funeral, for
then I'll be wid ye.'
