1T is very clear to my mind" came
the ready answer. lit seems to me
that II any business on earth requires
the thorough knowledge and practice
of good business principles, that bust
ness is farming. Agriculture is not
what IL used to be. When farmers went
to the blacksmith shop TO have their
plows made; when they raised nearly
all they ate. and ate nearly all
they raised; when they made their
own clothes from wool that was grown
on their Sleeps back; when they man
ufactured their own farm machinery,
and their greatest social event wac TO
20 TO the circus once Il year, there
was then not so much need OF n BUSH
ness education except n a stepping
stone to getting into some other EN-
plovment. But now things have rad
icallv changed. Every successful
farmer is. 70 Il certain extent. a mer-
chant. He has much buying to do in
order 10 equip his farm with the tools
and machinery necessary for success
full farming. Then he must sell his
products and he must know how TO
sell to the best advantage. He must
know what kind of farming is the
most profitable. and to know this III
must have an exact system OF ac-
counts. He must know how TO protect
himself against the tricks and traps oi
sharpers by a familiarity with all
kinds OF business forms and CONNER
cial papers, and n fair understanding Of
the laws OF business will come very

The burning of the steamboat
John H. Hanna last night near
Plaquemine was one of the most
terrible river disasters that has ever
happened IN Southern waters. The
loss of life was heavy, nearly thirty
persons perishlng in the flames and
IN the river. At the time the fire
was discovered the crew we're at
their posts. Capt Jolles was at
the wheel, and in the pilot house
with him was Bob Smith, a famous
Mississippi river pilot, who was one
of the men on the Robert E Lee

some years ago Second Engineer
Merriman was in the room on duty,
and Capt. j. S. Holmes, one of the
finest steamboatmen on the river,
was in command of the steamer
The boat had left Monroe Sunday
morning well laden with cotton.
She picked up freight all along, and
when she got out of the Ouachata
and in the Mississippi she had over
| 23,00 bales of cotton. II was just
before Christmas day was being
ushered in when the fine steamer
was coming down the river. Several
of the passengers, gentlemen on the
boat, were seated in the cabin max
ing merry and with no thought of
the impending catastrophe. Many
of the crew and passengers we're
asleep.
There were deck-hands on the
boat busy with freight, and the fire.
man and others were near the
boilers. The boat was booked to
land near Plaquemine.
The flames spread with indescrib-
able rapidity, and the details of how
some of the lost died are narrowing
in the extreme.
She had reached a point just a
short distance above the town when
a negro rouster near the boilers ran
Quito the after end and cried out
that the boat was all fire. John
Cullen, striker, was near the place
at the time and seeing the flames
bursting forth from the big tiers OF
cotton near the boiler ran hastily to
the engine room and gave the alarm
at once.
Engineer Merriman took in the
situation at a glance and at once
sounded the alarm by blowing the
steam whistle and ringing the bells.
In an instant, certainly in a shorter
time than it takes to explain, the
flames shot through the cabin and
over the sides Of the cotton, wrapp-
ing the entire boat in fire. Top
Clerk Powell was up stairs at the
time and when he saw he flames he
heroieally ran through the smoke

doors and in q short while everybody
almost was awake Then there was

frantic people ran to the different
exits to make their escape. But
the boat was piled high with cotton
and the passageways were filed with
binding smoke. Many dropped be-
fore they were able to get to the
forward part OF the boat and were
dead when the steamer went down.
AS soon as the fire was discovered,
Engineer Merriman set the steam
pumps working and tried to battle

SCHEMES OF WEALTHY WOMEN
Their Utilization of the Credit System

From the Ne,c York Press
There is a scheme now being operated in
New York and Brooklyn dry goods stores
that cannot very well be suppresse 1,
although known to the proprietors. 1t is
operated by the credit customers, who, after
looking at every article in stock, finally
make a selection, and order the articles
sent home and charged to their account
The goods are returned next day, as the
customer does not want them, and desires
them credited to their account.

toner came here and selected $50 fan,
and ordered it sent to her house, and 1t was

was that it did not match her dress
She had used that fan for some enter
tainment and not having any further use
for it returned it, The lady who made the
purchase could well afford to buy a fan
every day in the week, if she desired to do
so.
Another lady well-known in society cir

of which was $ll. and left orders that it
must be delivered that day. One of the
customers of the house told me next day
that she saw the purchaser at the Lieder-

her neck as being similar to those sold in

necklace was returned. and as an excuse for
returning it the person said; My husband
