Looking for Green.

traveller fir vi ,lssale De- troit house was waiting in the de- not at Pontiac the other day when a stranger approached him ani asked
 "Isu't yoar name Green, ot Grand RapidsT
 "No, sir"
 "Ah! beg your pardon. l never saw him. hut expected him here 10 meet me. Green is going to travel with circus this year, and was U give me S25 to post him up on sone new ratchcs.T
 "So you've got something newP' uneried the oetSoiter.
 "Ycs, few things. There is one little trick l gave to drummer a few weeks ago, and he's made s'j on it already"
 "Maybe you'd be kin enough to give it away to ne. Im one oi the boys. you know"
 "Certainlv. The trick is 10 tell the date of any cpin a man may have in his poc,set without you looking at ii.'
 "Bnt you can't do that"
 "Oh, yes, can. Have you got any coins in yonr pockett"
 "Yes, twenty of them."
 "Well. 1 can write down the date of each and every oao them."
 Say, I'll bet you sloyou can't" exclaimed the drummer.
 "Donor' said the other, as ht pulled ont q bill.
 A very respectable looking man was standing by, and the money was placed in hi. hands.
 "Now,r said the sharper, "yon turn your face to the wall anu fold your arms. l will write down the dates, and we will compare them" At the end of three minutes he had twenty dates, and they put the coins on the seat to make com parison. The man had hit only two dates out of the lot.
 ''I'll take that tenner," said the Detroiter, as he rose up and look cd around.
 Bat he never did. The stake holder had slid out, and the man with the trick was a bigger chap than he cared to tackie.-Detroit Free Press.

A reporter called upon a prom inent citizen and said: Il would like to interview you with regard to tho strike"
 The prominent citizen frowned, reflected moment d.replied:
 "No, sir. no. It is.a rule ot my life never to be interviewed, but l don't mind telling you privately what l think"
 "All right"
 "But, mind. no, you must prom ise not to print word l say nor an idea I advance"
 Il pronise.n
 The prominent citizen freely ex- pressed himself. And tue repor- tor after again promising that he would make no note ofths couver. sation, departed. Early the next morning the prominent citizen seiz' ed the paper and eagerly looked for the interview.
 "What are you looking for9" his wife asked.
 "Nothing," he replied as he tarew down the paper. You can not place any confidence in those confouuded reporters"
 "Has he printed what you saidf'
 "So."
 Then it's all rightp
 No, it's not all right, Do you reckou l want to talk two hours and then be treated with cou ,smpt. He ought to have said refused to be interviewed and thoi to have stated what l said. A re porter is a nuisance."-ArkansaW Traveller.

AGRICULTURAL.
Why FaIauiny Doa't Pay.

One of the reasons, and the most
 potent of all others is, perhaps the
 disposition to contract debts There seems to be with many ol Ithis class, no such question ever EupperuIost in thcSr thoughts, as how 10 economize. It has been well and truly said of this very
 large class of agriculturists, "that they seem to be really unhappy if
 perchnnce they get ont of debt,
 and are not content until again in volved.r Will the farmer ever learn the lesson of economy Will
 he ever lose his affection for pay ing interest? It is this misman- agement and proacnesS to debt aud extravaganza that place him.
 self and his products at the mercy
 of the buyer. He generally has a debt falling due when his wheat Ia threshed or his corn and cotton Is gathered, CT payment to make when his hogs are ready for mar kct. He is always pressed and forced to accept prevailing prices. Make expenses always le-s than the income, even though thsfs should be a sacrifice of comfort. Stay more at home and be in town less. Avoid buying things, sspec- inly at public sales, that you are not in need of. The frequent at tendance upon public sales, whore a credit of nine months to Q year is given to purchasers, is gouorally Q bad practice for farmers. The tiule given makes the fsrmcr abuse his credit and tempt. him to buy things that he is not actually Ill need of, and generally at price much beyond their value. Learn to pcy as you go and then you eau come when you please, aud in q short lime yon will be better pleas ed with yourself, with your nsigh- b1rs and with your business." Then again, there is lack of unity of action and continent for the better protection of their interests. All other Industries are protected by uniform prices, while the farm' er by reason of the lack of some sort of unity of action iu th!s mat ter, is at the mercy of hL creditor or tie purchaser. Cloud friends bow long are you goiu. to permit
 this state of things to exist!--Ru' ral & Workmnu,

LABOR INTERESTS.
The Bates Mil Trouble.

LEWISTON, Feb. 24.-Regarding the trouble
at the Bates mill, a prominent member OF the
knights of Labor organization says tnat the
knights repudiate all responsibility 1or tne
continuance of the strike, and the entlre
blame rests upon the loom fixers, who, when
the matter was referred to the Knights re-
fused to accept their decision and return 10
work. This result was unexpected, as IL
was understood that the loom fxers would
abide by the decision of the knights, TO
whom the matter was referred. This is an
nounced as the true situation, and IS one
which has not appeared to be understood by
the public. The statement published by the
Knights few days ago was intended to in
form the public of their true position in the
matter, but in reality it failed to make this
point clear. Since the trouble began the
Knights have used their best endeayors to
prevent any outbreak, and to this end have
endeavored to suppress the sale of iRtoxicat-
ing liquors to the idle workmen. As there
seems to be no immediate prospect OF
settlement of the trouble feeling OF un-
easiness is beginning to appear among the
business men. Grocery dealers are especially
interested, as many of them now have pretty
long accounts with the idle workmen. The
Knight spoke very pleasantly of Mir. Pratt,
agent of the Bates Mill, and said that
large part of the present feeling against him
by the laboring men was caused by certain
circumstances that occurred when he first
came to this city, and over which Mr.. Pratt
had no control
At the Arnoskeag Mills.
~ mn. IL
tion of affairs at the Amoskeag Mills to-day
is little changed from the last few days. and
what change has taken place, the companys
representatives say, is for the better. An
Improvement is shown in coarse work but
none in fine work such as ginghams. Some
of the weaving rooms have had less than
yesterday and others more so that the gen.
eral average shows an increase. From the
company's standpoint this Is regarded as
favorable indication and a forerunner OF
that the mills will continue to run as long as
they can, and that the schedules OF prices
first offered by the company will not be
changed.
At a mass meeting Of the weayers this
afternoon the sentiment was in favor OF
return to work with the understanding
given out by the speaker that Agent Straw
had promised that If they would return to
work he would satisfy their demands. Ihey
will hold a meeting tomorrow and vote on
the question. Agent Straw states he has
made no offers whatever to do differently
than was stated at the first conference with
the weavers' committee and that the COM
pany had no other offer to make
