Whenever cum akrost an old phellow
who remembers everything that haz
happened since 1912, and insists upon
telling it, ifeel glad on his ackount, but
sorry upon mi own.
Money only makes a spendthrift
poorer.
As a general thing, obstinacy IL the
growth ov ignorance, but have seen
obstinacy that was backed hi wisdum; ;
then it adds power to wisdum.
Order IL the very fust law Ov biz

A conservative person IL most gener-
ally one who liz willing to sell out emmy

Thoze who understand how to admin

Col. r. d. Curtis holds that the COWS
we have are better than We give them
credit for; that proper feed and care
will greatly improve the quantity and
quality Of their product. To allow "a
COW to fall off in flesh, while giving milk
for butter making, is erroneous in the
highest degree, and will he quickly de
tected by the expert i'll the butter-trade,
when the butter product is placed upon
the market. The better the COW, the
more danger of this error, for the reason
that her nature works to milk-forming,
and, if her system is not provided with
proper nutriment, the result Is, first. hen
fat. and then her lean meat or muscle,
are gradually transformed int" milk, and
the butter from such milk will he def
Gent in flavor, aroma, texture and color,
whatever the season of the year, or how
ever we'll made. In short, it will be a
fair competitor with the oleomargarine
or tallow product of the present day

THE Cincinnati Times, as an indepen.
dent newspaper, has ceased to exist. IT
has been transferred to its younger and
more vigorous rival, the Star, which,
selling at lower rate, was able to cut
the ground from under it. The Times
was founded about 1888 or 1889 by Cal
vim w. Starbuck on capital of few
hundred dollars. By great self-denial
and untiring industry he managed to
tuild up large property. His paper
had one of the best weekly circulations
in the country, years ago. He was
offered 5000, 900 for the Times just after
the civil war, but demanded S225, 900,
and would not sell for less. The intend
ing purchasers established rival news
paper called the Chronicle, and spent, it
is said, nearly S35O,OOO in striving to
supplant the Times. About 1871, Star
buck died, and the two papers were con-
solidated under one management, Sl75,-
600 having been paid for the Times to
the Starbuck heirs. Meanwhile, the
Star came into being, and, while it
made little or no money for itself, it
prevented the Chronicle-7smes from
making any. 1t has been an open secret
for year or more that the Times has
been losing money at the rate of Sl5, 900
to $40, 900 a year, and, of course, its
winding up, under the circumstances,
was mere question of time.

A SAD story comes from Dresden. A
little girl, between 6 and years of age,
was picking flowers in a cemetery at
Halle. The sexton of the churchyard
seized upon little offender, and, for a
punishment, shut her up in a dead
house, where there were two or three
bodies lying in open coffins awaiting
their burial. Theman went about his bust
ness, and soon forgot the occurrence !;
he went to his home and his bed, never
once remembering the poor little terri
fed prisoner pent up in the mortuary,
with no company save the inmates of the
collins. On unlocking the deadhouse
the next morning, the little creature was
found dead, With her face all lacerated,
where she had dug her nails into her
aesh in her agony of terror. The poor
parents had searched all night for their
child. On the occurrence becoming
known to the public the sexton would
have been torn to pieces by the infuriat-
ed populace had he not placed himself
under the protection of the police.

1916. The day after his arrival stran-
ger called upon him, and represented
himself as brother artist in distress.
having expended all his means IN an I'M
successful lawsuit, and solicited aid to
enable him to return to Nuremberg, his
place OF residence. Liszt gave him
hearty reception, and opened his desk to
get some money, but found he possessed
only three ducats.
"You see" said the generous artist,
"that 1 am as poor as yourself. How
ever, 1 have credit, and l can coin more
money with my piano. l have here
miniature given me by the Emperor
of Austria; the painting is of little
value, but the diamonds are fine;
take it, sell the diamonds, and keep the
money"
The stranger refused the rich gift, but
Liszt compelled him to take it, and he
carried it to q jcweler, who, snspectmg
from his miserable appearance that he
had stolen it, had him arrested and
thrown into prison. The stranger sent
for his generous benefactor, who I'M
mediately called upon the jeweler, and
told him that the man was innocent, that
he had given him the diamonds"
"But who are you?" said the jeweler.
"My name is Liszt," he replied.
II know Of no financier of that name, y
said the jeweler.
Every possible" said List.
"But do you know that these dia-
monds are worth 5000 FORMS"
$50 much the better for him to whom
gave them"
"But you must be very rich to make
such presents.
INV sole fortune consists of three
ducats," said Liszt.
"Then you are fool, said the jew
sler.
"No," said Liszt. 81 have only to
move the ends of my fingers to get as
much money as want"
"Then you are sorcerer," said the
jeweler.
81 will show you the kind of sorcery
that employ" said List.
Seeing piano in the back par,Or of
the jewelers. shop, the eccentric artist
sat down to it, and began to improvise a
ravishing air. A beautiful young lady
made her appearance, and at the close of
the performance exclaimed: "Bravo,
Listz u
"You know him, them" said the jew
eler to his daughter.
81 have never seen him BEFORE" she
said, "but there is no one in the world
hut List who can produce such sounds
from q piano."
The jeweler was satisfied, the stranger
was released and relieved, the report of
Lisxt being in the city few, and he was
waited upon and feted by the mobiles,
Who besought him to give q concert in
their city. The jeweler, seeing the
homage that was paid to the man OF
genius, was ambitious of forming an al
lance with him, and said to him:
"How do you find my daughter?"
Adorable !" was the reply.
"What do you think of marriage 2
continued the jeweler. =
"Well enough to try it" said List.
"What do you say to a dowry Of
100000 OF francs?" he was next
asked. -.t ..
~ will accept it," was the reply,
land thank you, too"
"Well, my daughter likes you and
YOU like her." said the jeweler; "the
dowry is ready. Will you be my son-in-
law?"
"GladlyT replied Liszt, and the mar
riage was celebrated the week following.
