LAND SALES When you have offered
to sell your land at a certain price, stick
to it. When your neighbor has sold his
land at good figure, don't take it for
granted that there is going to be great
rush for land and raise City per ceut upon
yours. 1t is important just at this time
not to discourage land-buyers on the
contrary every inducemeut should be of

inevitable appreciation Of all property

THE OLD MANS WILL.

Old Oliver Smith, in his threadbare suit,
Hears the boys of the village laugh and boot,
81 There goes the miser, so poor and old
Starving and scrimping to heap up gold"
But the old man thinks with quiet smile,
So Let these idle scOffers wait awhile,
Till time, which sifts the wheat from chat,
May show that the poor have cause to laugh"
The old man goes to the promise sure,
'' Who feeds the hungry and clothes the poor.
To the very least of them all, shall see
He has done it also unto me-"
The years roll by; the will is read,
And blessings descend on the giver's head
For many farmer of wealth and skill
Owes his start in life to the old mans will.
1t hears the orphaned children's cry,
And the blushing maiden's modest sigh,
And it smooths the poor mans dying bed.
For it gives to his starving children bread.
And it claims its share of the perfect bliss
Which crowns the lovers ecstatic kiss;
For it furnishes gold for the golden band
Which binds them together in heart and hand,
'' God help the widcwf so poor and old"
And He dss-' $50 the miser's boarded gold,
rUr his perfect love to the old man gave
Both the wish TO give, and the power to save.
Ye sordid slaves of the shining pelf,
Who love the gold for its own poor self,
whe know that the cash you love so well
Is dragging you down to the depths Of hell
If how to leave it you'd like to know,
Yet take it with you when you go,
To the bank which seven-fOld interest pays,
Where no thieves can steal; and no rust decays
SO that riches take wings and upward fly,
And the camel springs through the needles eye,
Go clothe the poor and the hungry fill,
And follow the text of the Old Mans Will

THE TIN SAVINGS BANK.
A Tale for Hard Times.
BY HoRATIo ALGIER, JR.

Charles Lynford was young me-
chanic in good business. At the age
of twenty-six he had taken to himself as
a wife Caroline Eustis, the daughter of
neighbor, who had nothing to bring
him but her own personal merits.
which were many, and habits of thrift,
learned in an economical household
under the stern teaching of necessity.
1t was well, perhaps, that Charles
Lynford should obtain a wife of this
character, since he himself found it
very difficult to save anything from his
income.
1t was not long before Caroline be-
came acquainted with her husbands
failing. She could not feel quite easy
in the knowledge that they we're living
fully upon their income, foreseeing that
time would come when their family
would grow more expensive, and her
husbands business, now hourishing,
might become less SO.
Accordingly one day she purchased
of tin-peddler, who came to the door,
little tin safe, such as children fire.
quently use as savings bank. This
she placed conspicuously on the man
tie piece so that her husband might be
sure to see it on entering.
"Hallo, Carrie, what's that?" he
asked curiously.
"Only little purchase l made to-
day." said his wife.
"But what is it meant for?" he ask
ed again.
"Let me illustrate" said his wife,
playfully. "Have you a ten cent
piece about you?"
Charles drew a dime from his waist
coat pocket. His wife taking it from
his hand. dropped it into the box
through little slit at the top.
Charles laughed.
$50 you have taken to boarding,
Carrie? My little wife become mi
ser!"
'No, only little prudent. But Sc
riously, Charles, that is the way
want you to do every night"
"What--drop dime into this new
tangled arrangement of yours"
Exactly"
"Well, well, that will be easy enough.
A dime is not great sum. But may
| know what you are going to DO with
this newly commenced hoard!
clay it by for rainy day." an
swered Caroline.
Charles laughed merrily.
"And what will dime day amount
to?" he inquired. /.
"In year it will amount" recon-
menced his wife seriously
1 30, never mind-spsrs me the cal
culationl 1t sounds too much like bu
siness, and have enough of that dur

REMAINS OF AN ANCIENT CRY IN
CABELL COUNTY, WEST VA.-This
county is situated on the Ohio river,
Immediately south of Mason county,
and was settled at a comparatively
late date, and the county was formed
from Kanawha in 1909. A portion
of the beautiful fat land of what is
called Green Bottom, lying partly in
Mason county, few years since be-
fore the plough of civilization had
disturbed the soil, presented one Of
those vestiges Of city which are
met with in Central America, and oc-
casienally in the Southern and West
ern parts of the United States.
The traces Of regular compact
aud populous city, with streets run
ming parallel with the Ohio river,
and crossing and intersecting each
other at right angles, covering 8
space of nearly half mile, as well as
the superficial dimensions of many
of the houses are apparent and well
defined. Axes and saws of an unique
form-the former of iron, the latter
of copper, as well as other imple-
ments of the mechanic arts have been
found.
These remains betoken q state of
comparative civilization, attained by
no race of the abOrigines of this
country now known to have existed.
Who they were or where they sprung
tradition has lost in the long lapse
of ages. 1t is a singular fact that
these remains are rarely if ever
found elsewhere, than upon the river
bottoms or fiat level lands.

One Week from my Diares.
BY JOSH BlLL1Nes.

Monday-Had suckers for breakfast.
Suckers and sassidges are the 9 luxu-
rvs ov life; the other luxury is easy
boots.
Tuesday-Awoke with a splendid
hedake, caused by drinking too much
water the evening previously and goin
to bed at nine O'Clock precisely
Breakfasted on the butt end of sas-
sidge and felt like dorg.
Wednesday-Rekolected of asking a
man in Misseory if beans was sure
krop in his parts. He said they wuz
'az sertain as a revolver" Reflekted
on the danger of carrying couceled
weepins. Rekolekted agin ov bein in
M Hamshire durin severe sno storm,
and innocently enough remarked that
1 never see ennything like it, and waz
told by one of the barroom boarders
that it warn't nothin; he he'd seen it
fall, over thousand feet. "What?"
sed l, ga thousand feet on the leyel?"
NO. sed he, "but a thousand feet
from on high."-s refekted how easy
it waz for sum folks to lie and tell the
truth at the same time.
Thursday--Rekolekted once more ov
bein on Red river, in Arkinsaw, and
seeih large piece of frame work by
the side of the road; inquired ov. a
private citizen who was leadin a blind
mul by l ov his ears, what the frame
work mought be. He sed it was ga
big fidle, and took 3 Yok ov oxen to
draw the bow, and they had tu haw
and gee to change the tune" Reflect
ed on that passage in the poet which
sez "man is fearfully and wonderfully
made" and thort the remark might
apply to fdles in Arkinsaw without
spiling the remark.
Friday-Vizited my washwoman and
blowed her up for sewing rufies and
tuks on the bottom of my drawers.
She was thunderstruk az first, but ex-
planned the mystery by saying she had
sent me, by mistake, a pair that be-
longed to -. | blushed like billed
Holsters, and told her she must be
more keerful about such things; 1
might have bin ruined for life.
Saturday--Writ this diaree for the
week from memry, and l am satisfied
I've got good memry. Refeckted
upon the vanity of human wishes, re-
flekted how often I'd wished to be rich,
and how seldom my wishes had bin
gratifed. Resolved in the future not
to wish for ennything until had it 3
weeks and see how l liked it.
