Madson®& One Priced Clothiers Women ‘and Stocks. z ‘Women speculators have a habit of glving to brokers orders with a string attached to them. A woman who * | owned some bank stock asked a broker to sell it at 250 if he thought ghe | be could not get any more for it. ‘The ‘market in this stock had been inactive for months, and 250 was the highest price ever recorded- for it. The next 'day the broker had a chance to’sell the stock at 200. It so bappened: that on the same day a lively demand for this bank stock developed, and before the day was over it was selling at 800. The broker wrote to his woman customer that he had sold her stock for $250 a share and would she send her certificate to him for delivery to the purchaser? She refused to deliver the stock. “You ought to have known ' better than to sell it for 250, she remon- strated.” “I am going to sell it today myself for 300.” It was not until the broker appealed to the courts that he succeeded in get- ting the stock from the woman.— Strand Magazine. Pretty Fine Scratches. Most people consider a polished sur- face as something absolutely smooth— that is, something with no scratches on it whatever. To polish a thing, however, the very reverse is done to it. It is filled with very fine scratches. All eyeglass lenses, glass for mirrors, furniture, etc., are rubbed with fine emery paper and later with an ex- tremely fine powder which gives the finishing touches in the shape of very fine scratches. Now the question arises as to just how fine the scratches must be—that is. how far apart they must be, for big scratches a good distance apart give anything but a polished sur- face. The answer is that the scratches or ridges between must be less than one-quarter the wave length of the light that falls on the surface for the light to be reflected and thus give the effect of a polished surface. This is less than one two-hundred-thousandth of an inch for light waves. No break- ing up of the waves is caused. and they consequently are reflected in their original form.—New York Tribune. The Offense Defined. General Craft, an attorney of Terre Haute, Ind. was once called into a Jewelry store in the town to settle a dispute. “See here, general,” explained the proprietor, “if I take a watch from Mr. Smith here and make repairs that cost me 10 cents and then keep it hanging up for a week and charge him $6 when he comes to get it, what per- centage do | make? We have been figuring for half an hour and only get up to 900 per cent, and that is but a dollar, so we decided to leave it to you.” “Well,” said the general gravely, “you must know that it is‘a fact, and it has been demonstrated by calculat- ing machines, that at certain points in progressive numbers the law govern- ing them changes. In your case the law would change long before it reach- ed the $6 and would run out of per- centage and into what is known and designated as larceny.” Open Door and a Light. The wives of north country colliers observe a very touching and pathetic custom when an accident occurs in the pit. Directly it is known to the wife of a collier that an accident has happened in the pit where her hus- bénd works and that his fate is un- certain she throws open the house door. and, however inclement t' weather may be, she keeps the door open and a candle burning in the win- dow night and day till the man is brought home, dead or alive. In some cases the door has remained open and the candle alight during sever weeks.—London Graphic. A Curious Superstition. The anclents believed that the mar- row of the human backbone often transformed itself into a serpent. Pliny (“Natural History,” volume 10, page 66) says that' the marrow of a man’s backbone will breed to a snake. The Chinese (Worde’s “Eastern Travels”) burned the backbone to “destroy ser pents that mlght hatch therefrom.” Amending Dickens. Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires and a touch that never hurts.—Charles Dickens. Dear, dear! How long Dickens has been dead! Writing for our day he would have said: Have a lver thar never hardens, a tire that never punc- tures and a touch that never fails to | land somethmg.—mw He Was a Stayer. She (desperately)—Don’t you believe they will worry over your absence if you fail to return home until such a late hour? He (carelessly)~There’s nobody to worry except the landlady, and I make a point to keep her wor rying by always owing her a month’s board.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Complex Accomplishment. *I understand you speak French Hke a native.” *No,” replied the student. “I’ve got the grammar and the accent down pretty fine, but it's hard to learn the gestures.”—Exchange. The Cutthroat Game. “What 1s the greatest get-rich-quick Scheme you know of?” asked the film- 8y financier of his partner. “Taking money away from other people who want to get rich quick."— ‘Wilmington Star. To please, one must make up his mind to be taught many things which he already knows by people who do ot know them.—Chamfort, PEOPLE—APPENDICITIS A TR “Many Bemidji neople have wind or €as in the stomach. or l.mwaaa stomach “or constipation and o . not know that these are symptoms of chron- ic Appendicitis which may any minute come: acute. ‘They should try simple buckthorn bark, glycerine etc.;| as com- pounded in Adler-i-ka, the new Germ Appendicitis remefly—-A SINGLE DOsE will bring relief.
