Ann Arbor boasted of a boom and the supervisors tucked the Uxes on to make lt seem real. What a board of supervisors dou't know is hard to flnd out.- Manchester buterprlse. There was once on a time a Manchester gentleman who taught the board of supervisors a lesson they did not appear to know, about paying legitimate bilis. By the way, a good story is told of another oflicer of that place. He came over to the county seat with a nicelv , made out bilí against the county. Being presen ted to the couimlttee, the chairtnan glanced it over and shook Iiis head ; the blll was nrrongj the supervisors never paid for horse hire. " All rlght," said the onicial, "I desire to conform to the law, of course," and so about one-thlrd of the bill was cut off. The next member took it for exsmination. "I see you have f 2 a day charged for your time! That will never do! $1.50 is all the law allows," said he. "Very well," replied the offlcer, and one-foijrth of the balance was quickly amputated. As the bill was beirijr puMd to the next member the offlcer made a desperate divo for lt, and gruplng it, by a quick move llung it on the fire of the open grate, where the flamea saved the supervisors further trouble. A silence somewhat embarrassing fullowed, when the chairman ventured to speak : " I don't understand your action, sir; why dld you destroy that bill?'' he said. The offlcer put bis hand In hls pocket and pulled out two or three ooln, and reinarked : "Qentlemen, there ií all the money I have (cot. Just enougli to tuke me home. Now if I bad allowed that bill to have gone to the next member of the committeo he would have brouglit me in debt to the county, and as you see 1 urn not In conditlon to stand it."
