Once a farmer had 1,800 bushels of wheat, which he sold notto a single grain merchant, but to 1,800 different dealers, a bushel each. A few of them paid him in cash, but far the greater number said it was not convenient then; they would pay later. A few months passed and the man’s bank account ran low. “How is this?” he said. ““My 1,800 bushels of grain should have kept me in affluence until another crop is raised, but I have parted with the grain and have instead only a vast number of accounts, so small and scattered that I cannot get around and collect fast enough to pay -expenses.” So he posted up a public notice and asked all those who owed him to pay quickly. But few came. The rest said, ‘‘Mine is only a small matter, and I will go and pay one of these days,” forgetting that, though each account was very small when all were put together they meant a large sum to the man. Things went on thus. The man got to feeling so bad that he fell out of bed and awoke and, running to his granary, found his 1,800 bushels of wheat still safe there. He had only been dreaming. Moral.—The next day the man went to the publisher of his paper and said: “Here, sir, is the pay for your paper, and when next year’s subscription is due you can depend on me to pay it promptly. I stood in the position of an editor last night, and I know how it feels to have one’s honestly earned money scattered all over the country in small amounts.” —Exchange.

At dinner during the voyage to Cor- slea, to which my father invited the passengers who included some officers of his regiment and the two Corsicans, he requested an officer, M. de Belloc, to call a young man who was wearing the uniform of the military school and reading at the end of the boat. The young man refused. M. de Belloc came back irritated and sald to my father: “I should like to throw the unsociable little fellow into the sea. He has an unpleasant face. WIill you grant me permission, colonel?” “No,” sald my father, laughing, “and I am not of your opinion. His face shows character, and I am sure that he will be heard of some day.” The unsoclable fellow was the future Bmperor Napoleon. Belloc has related this scene to me at least ten times, adding, with a sigh, “Ab, If the colonel had only allowed me to throw him into the sea he would not be turning the world upside down today.”’—From Memolrs of Comtesse de Boigne. Time to Quit. A newly enlisted fireman of only average pluck was serving at his first fire, and the chief rushed up to him and shouted: “Shin up that ladder to the elghth story, crawl along the cor- nice to the fourth window, drop down three storles and catch that wooden sign you see smoking there, swing ‘yourself along to the second window that the red glare 1s coming from, break the glass and go in and rescue those three old ladfes. Well, what the deuce are you walting for?’ “For pen and Ink, sir,” sald the new man. “I want to hand in my resignation,’— ‘Argonant. i3, g oy Ry Toads’ Hatching Places. Every tiny toad lays a stupendous number of eggs. A sclentlst recelved 11,540 eggs from one toad, a necessary fertility, since the chances of an egg developing Into a toad are less than one In a thousand, Within two weeks after the eggs are lald the young taud- poles begin to appear and feed first on thelr gelatinous euvelope. Next the slimy deposits common to ponds and swamps are attacked. Steadily grow the young wrigglers until their bodies enlarge to the slze of thumb nails by the end of June. The long tail now Is absorbed and the legs develop. They begin to hop on the bank and disperse, never to return save in the breeding geason. It Is at the spring of the year that the toads awake from thelr win- ter sleep below the rocks and scrub. They often have been literally frozen stiff, but they return to life as healthy as ever and on the first balmy night migrate toward the nearest breeding pond. Usually this Is the old home- stead where they were born, for the toad 18 a domestlc animal and will travel a mile or more for the sake of returning to the place of Its hatching. —Chicago Tribune. #Trying on” Furniture. When you go_to buy a sult of furni- ture nowadays in one of our depart. ment stores you don't have to specu- late as to how it will look In yeur room nor whether it will fit In or not, As soon as the salesman sees that a par- ticular suit has met your fancy he calls for a porter or two and turns them loose In one of several rooms fitted up around the main showroom, setting them at work removing all the furni- ture in it. Then the suit that you seem fo be hankering after Is placed in ap- propridte positions in this room, and you can see gt a glance just how the bedroom or parler or {(ining room will look if you buy that particulgr suit. There are a dozen of these smaller rooms around the main showroom, and as each one s decorated In & different manner it is easy to pick one out that approximates the scheme of your room at home. Like many modern ways of selling goods It Is expensive In the be- glnning, but it pays in the end, for this plan of showing goods seldom fails of its intended effect.—New York Press. A Widow Who Was Calm. ™ A lawyer was entertalning dinner guests recently with stories from his personal experiences. “A woman came Into my office one afternoon and said she wanted to see a lawyer on a rather Important mat- ter,” he sald. “She was very prim and self possessed.”” “‘What can I do for you? I asked. “‘Well," she said In an easy tone, ‘my husband was hurt in the wreck the other day.” “I noticed she was dressed In mourn- Ing, but from her Indifferent tone I gathered that it had no connection with her husband’s accident. ““Was your husband badly injured? I asked, “‘Yes,’ she angwered In the same quiet voice. ‘He got his head cut off.’ ”—Kansas City Times. The Talmud. The Jewish Talmud has come down to us only through the heroic efforts of the Jews themselves and the In- trepld service of John Reuchlin. Its readlng was condemned by various edicts of emperors and kings; its clr- culation was prohibited by popes and theologians. Twelve thousand coples of this monumental work were burned at Cremona in 1569, and a similar. fate befell 5,000 coples of the Koran by or- der of Cardinal Ximines on the taking of Grenada by Ferdinand and Isabella. —Boston Post. Conquered St. Peter. A Boston clergyman tells how a wit- ty Irishman stood before the gate of the other world, asking for admission, says Lippincott’s Magazine. St. Peter refused him, however, tellilng him he was too great a sinner to enter there, and bade him go away. The man went a llttle distance from the gate and then crowed three times lke a rooster. St. Peter at once threw open the gate and crled out: “Come in, Pat! We'll let bygones be bygones!” Don’t Wabble. There Is one sort of man that there i8 Ho place for In the unlverse, and that 1s the wabbler—the man on the fence, who never knows where he stands, who is always slipping about, dreaming, apologizing, never daring to take a firm stand on anything.

Kipling's Response. The Cantab, the Cambridge univer- #lty weekly, once asked Rudyard Kip- ling to contribute to its columns.

A fashionably dressed foung woman came hurrying into a bookstore re- cently and approached a salesman with the statement: “I want to get a book— It's a red book—nmot very thitk! No, I'| don’t know thename of it or what it 1s about, because'I haven’t read it. It has'a picture in, the middle ot the cover —at least I think It Is a plcture—It is something round, done in gilt. .It may be the name. & “I wish you woyld hurry and hunt up the book, becaus® I.am taking a'train the trip. _one reading t to New York and I want it to read on{ on the train the ofher day and laugh- lug ower it, am@ that's why I want It “Ot course I am not expected to knowwhat It 4s, but I should think any one whe knew books and was handling them alli thes time ought to know! “No, I'dom’t {think It was elther of those books—it \was thicker than that one and mare om the cerise shade than that one. “Well, I/can’t\walt any longer for you to hunt it wp?* As the young woman passed out of the shop she turned to her companion and remarked audibly: “Strange how stupld some of fthese clerks are! Well, I wasn’t golng tto really get it anyway. I just wanted to find out what it was!” —Youth’s Companion. Cakes and Sausages In Germany. “Germany I8 the land of varlety In sausages and cakes,” sald William George Bruce. “When I made my visit to that country recently I took occa- slon to eat at restaurants in practleal- ly every city I came to. I am not stretching It a bit when I say that In one restaurant in Dresden there were 200 varleties of sausages on the bill of fare. The same holds good of cakes. You enter a restaurant or a bakery in which coffee 1s served. The obliging waiter ‘will set before you a spectally designed cake holder on which the several va- rleties are placed In convenient tiers, 80 that you plck out any kind you ‘want without disarranging the whole. “There is another feature of restau- rant customs In Germany that struck me as out of the ordinary. While per- haps a dozen cakes are set before you to choose from, you only pay for the exact number you eat. When you are done with your luncheon the waiter will count up what Is remaining and charge you for the difference,’—MIl- waukee Sentinel. “hea s Incidental Musie. One afternoon a couple from an ad- Joining town presented themselves to a Boston divine and asked to be mar- ried just as he was about to enter the pulpit tp conduct an afternoon service, The minister repjied that he regretted that he could not at that moment com- ply with thelr wish, but that immedi- ately upon the conclusion of the serv- lce he would take pleasuro In perform- Ing the ceremony.

He divided two transversely and created one with two heads. He pushed one down the throat of another, a third down the throat of the second, and thus formed a creature with three heads. Paternal Duties. Modern life with its haste and hustle leaves too little time for the Joys of fatherhood. One father comes home late from business, tired and peevish, and cannot devote much time to his children, even if he would. An- other has had enough of the cares and worrles of the day and seeks dissipa- tion outside the home. Yet fathers can give their children something bet~ ter than money; they can give them- selves.—Deutsche Monatschrift. A Little Mixed. Sportsman—I wonder what's become of Mike?

On the ninth day of the ninth month, according to the Chinese calendar, all the Celestials; old a#d young alike, be- take themselves to the hills behind thelr towns and amuse themselves by flying kites. . But amusement is not the sole reason for this ceremony. It comes from an old Chinese legend, and if a Chinaman did not fly his kite on the given day he would rest uneas- ily for the remainder of his life in fear that misfortune -would overtake his family. The legend runs that many years ago a certain Chinaman wag warned in a dream that a misfortune ‘would come to his home on a certain day. Accordingly on that day he re- paired’ to an adjacent hill. and amused himeelf and bis family by flying a kite while he was waiting for the dis- aster. In the evening, upon returning to the valley in which his house was situated, he found that it had fallen in and burled his pigs beneath it. He and his neighbors joined in thanksgiv- ing for his narrow escape, and in memory. of -the eyent every year sees the flight of millions of kites in China. ~—New York Tribune.

Cummins of Jowa welcomed the title of agitator in a Chautauqua. lec- ture here, declaring that Noah also was an agitator and that he was will- Ing to take_ his r!;\ce with the com- mander of the ark. I~ “There are distinguished politicians in these parts whi proelaim that every man who dares not stand pat on the tariff is an agitater and a demagogue,” red. “I am willing to be called an agitator. Noah was one. He went around predicting the flood end his frisnds laughed at him and called him a demagogue. Had they listened to him ‘hey might have heeh saved.” . The governor condemned the over- capitalization of | railroads strongly. He placed the Chicago and Alton and the Rock Island railroads in the class with Standard Oil for questionable business dealings, declaring that the manner in which' the. stock of these reads was watered was no less than a crimé. e & “Four years ago the capital stock of the Rock Island was $75,000,000,” said Governor Cummins. “Since that time earnings have increased and instead of giving the publlc the benefit of the profits which it had heaped up for the road the capital stock was watered until today it has reached the glgantio sum of $412,000,000, In the sani¢ man: ner the Alton stock has been Watered from $33,000,000 to $113,000,000. When we learn of such business tactics it does not take any great mental acu- men to see that we must call a halt.” IRIBESMEN HAVE RETIRED Defeated In Bloody Fight With Na- tives at Casa Blanca. Tangier, Morocco, Aug. .—The lat- est advices from Casa Blanca say that most of the hostile Moorish tribesmen surrounding the town have retired after a bloody fight with the natives inside. Signals have been arranged by whick the French cruiser Galilee will bombard the native quarter of Casa Blanca in the event of a renewal of the attacks on Europeans. The French cruiser Du Chayla has gone to. Mazagan, off the west coast of Morocco, in answer to the appeals of Europeans there, who reported that the natives were greatly excited and that it was feared thal there would be duplication of the recent massacre at Casa Blanca. 4 Advices from Rabat, west coast of Morocco, under the date of Aug. 1, were received here during the day and reported the situation there as being disquietening. The neighboring tribes were moving around the town and the French residents declared that unless a warship -was sent to Rebat they would leave that place, as the number of troops guarding the town was inadequate. .

The customs officlals, who then were also immigra- tion . Inspectors, carefully took the names and count of the local Chinese as they went on board. This precau- tlon was to prevent some’ deported or otherwise not welcome Celestial from effecting a landing by joining the mer- chants as they came ashore after tak- ing a ceremonious farewell of their dis- tinguished countryman. Half an hour or so after Wu and his friends had gone on board one of Wu's secretaries arrived on the dock and was hurrying up the gangplank when & customs in- spector seized him by the arm and pulled him back on the wharf. “Washamalla you, John? I no takee name, you no can come back., Who you belong?”’ said the inspector, smil- ing at some girls with whom he had been talking.

Where Hat Straw Comes From. In Italy to raise straw employed in making hats the wheat is sown as thickly as possible in order that the growth of the plant may be impover- ished as well' as to produce a thin stalk having toward the end from the last knot the lightest and longest straw. The wheat blooms at the be- ginning of June and is pulled up by the roots ‘by hand when the grain s half developed. If allowed to remain in the ground a longer time the straw would become brittle. About five doz- en pprooted branches the size of the compass of two hands are firmly tled together into little sheaves and stowed away ‘in barns. Then -the straw i§ again spread out to catch the heavy summer dews and to bleach in the sun, After additional bleaching the straw is put into gmall bundles and classified, Finally it is cut close abave the first Joint from the top and again tled up in small bundles containing about six- ty stalks each and delivered to women in almost every private dwelling of the poorer classes. John Was Huffed. In the olden time a woman in the north of Scotland went to visit her husband, who was condemned to be hanged upon the following day. The man began to give his last instructions to his wife preparatory to bidding her farewell, when all at once she broke fn on the conversation and exclaimed, “By the bye, John, whaur will I plant the tatties this year?' The untor- tunate man, as may be linagined, grew exceedingly’ indignant at the indiffer- ence of his wife and e=clalmed angri- ly: “What need I care whaur ye plant them? T'm no likely to need ony o' them.” “Hech,” replied the woman, turning to the warder, with a wag of the head, “poor John’s huffed because he’s gaun to be hanged in the morn!” and marched out of the cell, Didn't Irritate Him.
