Then we'll blast away Goat island, Turn it into building blocks, Put a turbine In the whirlpool, Build shot towers down the rocks. How we'll pity our poor forebears, Prating of aesthetic taste, While allowing, floughtless fellows, All those kilowatts to waste! Forward, Spirit of Progression! Nature's still a giddy shirk. Tear away her fancy toggings, Get her into trim for work. Turn the Adirondack forest Into neat and useful planks; Straighten out the crooked Hudson, Line with piéfs her grassy banks. Crush the Dunderberg for pavements, Make the Palisades cement, Fill the Catskills up with signboards— Lots of good rock space to rent. Rip the redwoods into shingles, Sow the Yellowstone to wheat, Turn the geysers into laundries And the bear and deer to meat, What are mere aesthetic fancies, Hill or vale or wood or vine, To the graceful curves and meaning Of the pleasing dollar sign? —N. Y. Tribune, A Disputed 2 a& Remnant RS. TRYON’S keen appreciation for a bargain wen it came under her observation did not always lead her into final happiness, Some things she bought just because they were cheap led her to the necessity of other pur- chases to go with them. And so her bargains were sometimes the cause of expenditures that she could not well afford. This was the case with a yard of lace she found downtown at a remnant sale one morning. of work and she had often desired It was a beautiful piece something like it, but the cost, §2 a yard, was prohibitive, This morning, however, it was only a remnant and the price was 75 cents a yard. Mrs. “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?” Tryon did not hesitate. The coveted fabric was in her possession when she arrived at home. “What are you going to do with it?” her husband asked, after he had ad- mired the lace in his clumsy way. “There don’t seem to be much to do with.” Mrs. Tryon smiled condescendingly. “Why, I'll make a waist of it, of course.” “Of that?” her husband asked, in astonishment, as he noticed the flimsy character of the lace. “Not exactly, you goos, ” she replied. “I mean I'll trim a waist with it.” “Huh,” responded the husband, “I guess it isn’t such a bargain after all if you’ve got to buy something more to go with it.” “Well,” pouted the lady. nice waist, anyway.” A few days later she came home om_a_strenuous—morning—in—a—s department with three yards of waist material. R had cost her $3 a yard, but as she explained to her lord and provider, “I couldn’t get anything cheap that would look well with that fine lace.” For several days she planned and planned how she would make up the new waist, and when she finally made up her mind she called in her neighbors and had an exhibition of “I need a the goods and a descriptive lecture on} how it was to be transformed into the dearest waist that ever was. To all of which the neighboring women agreed and each showed the proper degree of envy over the bargain. Shortly after the women had gone, a carriage drove up to the Tryon mansion and a styl ishly dressed woman alighted. Mrs. Tryoh met her at the door. “Ig this where Mrs. Tryon lives?” the wonian inquired. “T am Mrs, Tryon.” “Oh, I’m so glad to have found you,” the visitor went on with a sigh of re- lief. “I’ve been searching for you for 1 days. There has been an awk- ward mistake made, but I’m sure it can be straightened out now.” “Indeed,” hummed Mrs. Tryon, ut- terly at a loss to fathom her visitor. ving an ex- ‘pa sae roy mei “When I went to the store to see about it,” continued the visitor, “I was told that the lace had been sent to me, dfit that it was returned, and the driver told them that I did not want it. Of course that was one of those silly mis- takes they are always making. They probably took it to the wrong house and the driver was told that the lace had never been ordered. Anyway, when they looked for the remnant it was gone—sold, they said, on a bar gain counter for 75 cents a yard. [ paid $2 for mine. The clerk remem- bered that you had bought it, but they did not know your address, I went to where the directory said, but you had moved.” There was a pause for a moment and the visitor looked inquiringly at Mrs. Tryon, “Weill.” slowly inquired Mrs. Tryon. “Well,” echoed the visitor, “I've come for the lace.” Mrs. Tryon, with great calmness and a keen appreciation of the situation, replied: “Indeed.” There was another awkward pause. “Why, of course,” the visitor went on, a trifle nettled by the seeming in- Notice to Contractors.

Just to get acquainted with you?” “Whatever your object,” Mrs. Tryon responded, a bit nettled herself, “your trouble was useless.” “Do you mean to say that you won't give me the lace?’ The visitor was on her feet and her eyes were flashing. “You certainly have grasped my meaning,” retorted Mrs. Tryon. “But it’s mine, I can’t finish my dress without it. Why, it will ruin everything. The dress cost me $200, I tell you. Surely you'll be lady enough to sell it to me. It only cost you 75 cents.” “I couldn’t think of parting with it,” Mrs, Tryon interrupted. “Besides, I'm just ready to make it into a waist.” “I'll give you $2 for it,” the thor- oughly excited woman went on. “T’'ve already spent $9 for material to go with it.” grees east, Seventeen hundred (1,700). feet to @ ” the Main Ditch.

' “I'd haye let her have it for $15,” Mrs, Tryon said as she was telling her husband about it that evening, “if she had only been decent about it. But the hussy insulted me by her superior manner.

That'll .cost her $20 or $30.” So that now there are two very un happy women in town, all because a driver made a little mistake.— Kansas City Star. {enau] of the County Court of Bates County, Missouri, this second day of April, 1906, Ixy.
