The Lead.Pencil Thief.

There is no meaner thief than the
lead pencil thief. He takes rank below
the umbrella snatcher. He never has a
pencil, in sight. He asks for yours,
''just minute to sign telegraph
book, address a card, and then with a
business-like air sticks it into his pocket,
knowing that nine times out of ten you
will never think of the pencil until you
want to use it yourself, and then he will
be far away, playing his game on some
one else. They are shameless fellows,
proud of their petty thieving. They
throw back their coats to show YOU the
spoils nesting in vest pocket, and
they tell you from whom they stole
each pencil. We lost the last pencil we
had in this world, not ten minutes ago,
by the hands of the pencil thief. A
man who makes business of stealing
pencils, ought to be burned at the stake,
boiled in oil, beheaded at the block,
hung, drawn and quartered, and buried
without benefit of clergy, al the solemn
hour of midnight, in the dark of the
moon, at a lonely place in an awful
forest where two roads meet, with q
lead pencil thrust through his heart.
Here we are, robbed by a soulless vii
lain, not a lead pencil to our back, and
it may be half day before we meet a
man from whose confding hands we
can lift a pencil to make good the one
we lost. We played poor old Prof.
Sayitslow for that one, he is so absent
minded anybody can get away with his
lead pencil. but then he's out of town.
The stars in their courses seem to be
fighting against us to-day. A plague
on all pencil thieves, still we say. -

The United States Governments
owes the State of New Jersey seventy
three cents, with interest thereon, since
1861, the State having paid an excess
OF the amount assessed upon it for di-
rect taxes to carry on the war in 1861.
The interest amounts to 81 cents and
six mills, and at the present time the
sum of S1.0706 stands to the credit of
the State on this account on the books
of the Treasury. An act of Congress
would be necessary, however, in order
to have the debt paid off.-Newar6

Besides the United States, the chief
countries for the production of cotton
are the East Indies, Egypt, Brazil, the
West Indies and Guiana. India con
tributes a supply of cotton next in i'm
portance to that of the United States.
Their total production was estimated as
far back as 1858 at 100000 bales of
375 pounds each. Ceylon, Borneo and
other islands of the Indian archipelago
have long produced cotton. Japan
produces it. A portion of Australia is
well adapted to ii, but no country,
either in the Old or New World, is prob
ably to be compared to America for the
adaptation of its soil and climate to this
cultivation. The principal cotton-pro-
ducing district of Africa is Egypt,
where its culture was introduced in
1921.
