(in a Standard Man by Sheriff Mer
- rlon, Wer Boguit.
tL,
A Standard reporter, as mentioned
some time ago, went with Sheriff
Morrison to the meeting of the
County Alliance at St. John's. The
information given ns by the High
sheriff worked all right down there,
but at a meeting held here the same
signs, signals and grip would not
work. There may be a general change
in these things since the Alliance
met at St. John's ; but be it as it
may. Sheriff Morrison is behind
time, to.i, and he is not anybe'tersp
in the signs, &c, than the Standard
man. i'he Alliance had better not
give Morrison the new pass-word,
for he'll tell it, sure. It is said that
the sheriff tried to get iu at the
meeting here and failed.
M'hat 1'eople Do on a Rainy Day.
What people do on a rainy day,
offered itself to us for a few thoughts
and a little meditating.
The teacher generally has about
three cases of tight to investigate and
administer the proper remedy, in the
degree corresponding with the grav
ity of the offence. On such a day
the teacher has a pretty tough time
in the management of the young
Americans w ho are seeking the cul
tivation of the young idea. They
get into more quarrels, lights and
knock-downs than usually happen
on other days.
The .street loafer has an unpleas
ant job; in it he has ther rofoundest
sympathy of the entire community.
The poor fellow has the rain to bat
tle With and the difficult task of
keeping his feet dry. His work has
to be done, and no one knows it bet
ter than he does, and like a hero he
goes about it in a manly way. The
ornament is a necessity, and a town
could not well dispense with a sin
gle professional.
The merchant spends the day in
looking over his ledger and notes;
he calculates the probable amount he
will lose, and he sometimes spends
a little time in regrets for the ab
sence of customers.
The clerks, if they have an eye to
the interest of their employers,
put in the day in making old goods
look new, in answering numerous
questions and killing a little time.
It is said that a good, handsome and
enterprising clerk will not sit down
during the entire day, but that may
be an exaggerated statement At any
rate the clerk's wage3 go on during
a rainy day as well as any time.
The farmer sits around the fire
usually and plays with the babies.
He sometimes makes calculations on
future operations and otherwise
amuses himself. Though a rainy
day is usually a holiday with him,
he oftentimes spends the day in
hauling wood, arranging matters
around the barn, putting old plows
into a good repair, goes to mill and
sometimes to town.
The painter is a glad man when a
rainy day comes to his relief and al
lows him time to rest himself, and
otherwise avoid a bai siege of paint
er's colic.
The doctor gets no rest, regardless
of the sttite of the weather, and is
called on to make pills, feel pulse?,
cut off arms and sew up wounds on
a rainy day as well as any other day
in the" year. lint :ts all right any
way. for he gets well paid for hie
work and of course he, like other
men, likes that.
The editor gets no rest, of course,
and he doe3 not need any ; he re
ceives just a? much glory, joy, expe
rience and honor on a rainy day as
he does on a bright and lovely tla'j
So it goes with all the world every
body is hustling along after the same
thing, and if he obtains what he de
sires and has no bad luck he's happy
Put if he fails in his efforts and does
not realize the fullest met sure of his
hopes, then he's mad, very mad, and
gour sometimes with mankind and
all the world.
A rainy day is a good thing in its
it is a blessing in disguise and
serves to keep us from getting too
rich, and teaches us how to appre
ciate a beautifully clear day (how to
properly admire good pavements and
Streets.)

Some stuff, supposed to be sand.
was thrown in front ot tu. i.t-.
From the rains t.iat. have been fall
ing the stuff has gotten soft, and is
now several feet deep, more or Jess.
The worst feature about it is the
generation of alligatois. The stuff is
turning to them. It is supposed to
be full of alligator eggs, and they are
botching out and growing right off.
Several have been seen. The strange
thins about this breed of animal is
that they have made no attacks on
any one except our "devil." lie is
thoroughly hated, and when he goes
out some one has to accompany him.
Latkk: When James C. Fink, the
treasurer of the town, and Father

Father Wadsworth succeeded in
getting to his store. Little boys and
men, too, go round the mud pond, as
there are other alligators in it. In
formation conies to this office that
Fink escaped, but not without losing
his coat.
The mayor, the policeman and
everybody stays away f ro-n it. Iu A.
Brown's store, which faces the pond
of alligators, has been deserted all
day.
This pond must be drained before
the alligator eggs all hatch.
