the necessalies of lifo by which hundreds OF
millions Of dollars are gathered into the

ALEX ANDRIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER =.

BARRING THE Presidents persistence in
his continued support OF his un American
civil service policy, his leaning towards Pa
ciGc railroads and mail subsidies, and his
recommendation for coast defenses, his ideas
as expressed in the message he sent to Con-
gress yesterday are correct, to be commend
ed, and, if adopted, must rebound to the ad
vantage Of the country. He condemns the
cruel treatment to which the Chinese have
been subjected in this country, and recon-
mends that provision be made for the per-
sonal safety Of those who remain here; he
asks that closer and better relations be es
tablished with Canada; that the Hawaiian
treaty by which sugar is imported free from
the Sandwich Islands be extended; that
more Intimate and more unrestricted com.
mercial relations be established with Mex
leo, and that that government be requested
to amend its laws by which citizens of this
country are arrested for Offences committed
within the limits Of the United States. He
recommends that q copyright law be passed,
and that the discriminating duty on the
works of foreign artists and American art.
lists abroad be repealed; that consuls bepad
salaries instead Of Fees that the tariff shall
be revised and the duties reduced to the
necessary expenses of an economically ad
ministcred government, so that the price OF
the necessaries of lie may be reduced. He
recommends the suspension Of the silver
coinage; that the T. S. court officials be paid
salaries instead of fees, and that something
be done by which the dockets of the l. S.
Supreme and other Z. s. courts shall be re-
lieved, and that the poor negroes who were
induced BY their faith in the government to
put their money in the Freedmen's bank be
reimbursel. Each and all these recon-
mendatioGs are good, and if Congress should
be wise enough to enact them into laws the
members thereof will merit and receive the
praise not only Of their immediate consiitu
ants, but that of the people Of the whole
country.

Returned the Money.

Another story about Charlie Ransom,
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT New York gam
bier: "About twelve years ago q young
fellow came down from Litchfield,
Conn, with $4,000 in his pocket. 1t
was his entire fortune, and with it he
was going to buy dairy farm out in
Orange County, and then get married
to girl he left behind him in Litchfeld.
The first night he was in the city he
happened to stumble into Charles
house. The next morning he came out
with just enough to buy his ticket back
to Litchfield. He bought it, went back,
saw his girl, told her the story, and then
babe her goodbye. He was going, he
said. to California, and would never re-
turn until he had got together again the
$4,000. The girl was one Of those
women who will do ANYTHING for the
man they love. She told him to wait
there in Litchfeld for two DAYS before
starting for California a. Then she put
on her cloak and G. u ON alone here to
New York and wen straight TO Ransom.
In a few quiet yn i she told him the
story. Charlie ok her hand, said he
wouldn't part from her lover for the
world, asked ho,, much had been lost,
took $4,000 out of the safe and gave it
to her, together with valuable diamond
pin to fasten the baby's bonnet-strings
together She blushed and went back
home. They got married, bought a
farm, and haven't been in the city since:
but the happy husband always sent a
brace of big turkeys to Charlie every
Christmas and Thanksgiving.

The Day-Book and Ledger.

The day-book and ledger are the
businessman guide to success 1t is
by these he knows day by day and year
by year his exact balance of profit or
loss, and by these he so arranges his
business as to keep out of lines that do
not pay profit, or at least that is his in
tention and desire How many farmers
keep even the simplest regular books?
Not one in hundred probably. Why
notp Does not the farmer want to
know just what his farm pays. and
what crops pay best year by year? Is
there farmer who cannot keep in
parallel columns what is received for
produce and what is paid and how? If
not, the sooner he educates his boys and
girls in this direction the better it will
be all round.
The new year is a good time to turn
over a new leaf. Begin by taking an
account of the value of the farm, stock,
implements, and produce on hand.
Give each price of some kind and let
that price be rs near as you can judge
what you would ask if You were going
to sell. This is your stock-in-trade
your capital. Then, if YOU have any
W Du1s Bub IL uOnl III NOul llOlii-
orandum-book, and transfer it at night
or at some regular time to your perma-
nent account-book. You will soon come
to be ashamed, perhaps, of many items
of foolish expenditure, and here will be-
gin great saving. If you have any
thing TO sell, fix its real market value
and sell it when the price suits. Get
out of the habit of asking the dealer
''What will you giveP"
Keep yourself posted on market values
of the property you have to sell, and
never carry load to a market when you
must come under the thumb of any one
ruling man in trade or any set of men
who monopolize the making of prices in
a town. Go further, or else organize in
a neighborhood to cooperate and ship
to more distant and better market,
where there is direct competition in
buying and selling. 1t is not a good
plan in any business TO let somebody
else set the price both ways. Ii always
operates in favor of the man who sets
the price. 1t is enough that the owner
sets the price on goods he has to sell.
When YOU make sale the casn Is to be
carried to the credit of the seller. II
you seek to buy and the price is beyond
your views, wait, but when you do buy
let the price go down in black and
white to your debit Then at the end
of any week. month, or year you may
know just how you stand as compared
with any other week, month, or year.
You may know what is the gain in live
stock, implements, buildings, acreage,
or crops-what arc the depreciation
wear and tear, and at the end of The
year what the profit or loss
Thus you may change your line O
crops from non-paying to paying ones
You may find certain classes of stocE
pay better than others. If so, increase
those that pay and lessen those that dc
not. Yes, the new year is a good time
TO improve your system of doing bust
ness. but the improvement must be II
action as well as in thought.

Petroleum Exchanges.

In the early days trading was done
wherever men congregated in the oil
regions-at the wells, on railway trains,
in telegraph offices, hotels, streets. and
public places As early as November,
1868, an exchange was organized at
Petroleum Centre. In lS69-70 there
were common market-places. though
not regularly organized exchanges, in
Oil City and Pittsburg. In 1871 an ex-
change was established at Titusyille.
The first successful Petroleum Exchange
was created in Oil City on February Z,
1874, New York followed in 1877, Pitts
burg in 1878, and Bradford in 1879.
Until within two years Oil City exercised
an autocratic influence in fixing the
price of oil. and its quotations were the
standard of value. 1t is singular and
unique fact that an interior town, with
small population, moderate banking
facilities, and no longer the centre of
any important producing interests,
should so long have held its command
ing position. As rural speculative
centre it is positively without parallel.
Virginia City, Nevada, located inn
mediately above the colossal silver mines
of the Comstock lode, and four or five
times as large as Oil City, never aspired
TO any pretensions as market-place
for shares.
Up to the winter of 1928 the origin
al New York Petroleum Exchange was
of no influence in the oil trade. 1t then
moved to enlarged quarters, and trebled
its membership to GOO. At this time
the National Petroleum Exchange was
organized, with 500 members, and stimuli
taneously the New York Mining Stock
Exchange, with nearly 500 members,
began trading in petroleum. In April,
SS3, the latter two exchanges were con-
.0lidated, and on May l, 1885, the old
Petroleum Exchange was merged with
the conso dated board, forming the
Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Ex-
change. The present organization has
ally members, pays $4,000 upon the
death of each as life-insurance, has cash
reserves of over half million dollars,
and now establishes the market price
for petroleum. The clearanccs in the
New York market in 1884 aggregated
over 5.500,000O0o barrels about $50
times the total product aboye-ground.-

"And here is the change from the
check in the desk $1,000. Ii is a pity
you opened your desk, J to Walter
Il never wrote that | never saw that
change said Walter, boldly.
Give me the memorandum, said his
father. '.Great God! it Is his writing.
Uncle George leaned forward to look
at it. A sudden flash of intelligence
came into his face. Give me that lot
of paperr' he shouted He held it up,
smclled of it, ..My nose never deceived
me yet! It's the perfume that fellow
yonder carries about him. | Thought as
much. And before anyone had caught
his meaning he crossed the room, hurled
Leslie aside with one hand, and threw
open his desk with the other.
''It's time to look into your papers
now, young man. This is deep-laid
plan of yours to thrust Wally into the
street while you sneaked into his place!
But I've got you. I'll not let you 90 in
a hurryr' holding him by the neckcloth
and shaking him breathless, while Mr..
Ewalt and the officer examined the
desk
Criminals always leave some tell-tale
witness against themselves. There was
sheet of paper on which the memo
randum had been written several times
in imitation of Walters hand. At the
back of the desk were couple of forged
checks in Mr.. Ewalt's name to large
amount
THE fellow was preparing for flight
in case he Was found out, said Uncle
George, with shake to emphasize each
sentence. Bring in apoliceman. Oh,
you're a cool handin
Leslie Crawford was tried and sent to
the state prison. The day afterthe trial
Uncle George had an earnest conference
with Walters father.
81 think you are making a mistake
with the boy" he said. '.He is fit for
an outdoor life. Give him to me for
two years. I'll give him hard work, and
buy meadows and herds of cattle to deal
with, instead of eases apd ginghams.
He'll find hunting and fishing more
wholesome excitement than the theater
and neutrality-suspicious.. Many a boy
would be tired of sowing wild oats if
you gave him real oats to sow
Walter Ewalt is now one of the largest
cattle-raisers of the west His father has
given up business and lives with him,
and Uncle George comes up weekly
from his ranch.

take with this lad of ours, Andrew he
