Another Discouraged Man.

He waded through the snow up the
front steps and rang the door bell. And
when the servant girl answered his ring,
he said
al must see the lady herself on very
important business"
The lady appeared, and he continued.
Madam, "a 1 contract with you to
clean off this snow?'
"Why-I-how much do you want?'
"Only twenty cents"
"Well you may clean it off,"
Thanks. Have you a snow shovel"
"There's n in the shed 1 believe"
Thanks. Is there n boy in the neigh
borhood whose services 1 could secure?"
"For WHAT"
"To clean off the snow, ma'am. lam
northumberland a laborer. And, ma'am,
it is my rule to begin bossing only in the
morning. If you can wait until to-mor-
row I'll be around at an early hour. Ny
rule is to collect in advance, ma'am, and
if you happen to have a bit of cold tur-
key and a cup of coffee and an old suit
of clothes 1 shall feel under many obliga-
tons"
She shut the door on him and he went
off declaring that it was another evil

His daughter was going to Europe.
He is a very rich man, but a millionaire
will always make up a telegraphic code
TO save money. 1t would be nothing to
him if she sent q hundred words, but he
will always get as much as he can for
nothing any way and he will have a
telegraph code. 1 don't know, though.
Perhaps he thought she might take as
many words to say a thing by telegraph
as ladies ordinarily do in conversation,
and that would bankrupt a millionaire.
Let us acquit him of economy. Let us
say that by combining her to one word he
would understand what she telegraphed,
whereas if he left her to express 1t her
own way he might never have found out
what she meant. He left her to make
out the code. She made one quite to the
point on all important matters. She Sc
lected the words herself, wrote it all out
and handed it to him when she left. He
locked it in his desk and it was all right.
Last week he got q telegram from her.
1t consisted of one word-''Laugh." He
laughed. 1t seemed to be something
quitea pleasant. His code was 1T the
house. He went up there in the best of
humor. He got out the code and he
read: "Laugh-Send me S500."-Sa San

"No matter how expert q bank teller
may become in detecting bad money,
there are counterfeits extant which will
stump the besS of them. I was for many
years a United States treasury expert,
and have handled all the famous counter
feits ever made. I have in this roll of
bills S., 200, about one-half of which Is
good and the rest worthless. I often test
bank tellers by offering this money for
deposit, and you would be astonished to
learn how large a proportion Of the
counterfeits are passed by some of them
as genuine. In fact 1 have never found
one who rejected every bad bill, some of
them accepting as much as 81, 700 of it,
and from that down. I have been testing
some Kansas City bank men today, with
varying results. Four hundred dollars
was the least counterfeit passed by any
of them, and one bank, If it had taken
the ~teller's decision ON the money, would
have been stuck for more han 81 ,000."-

The western farmer, with his hun
dreds of acres of new and fertile soil,
looks with contempt upon the small and
often sterile farms hat are to be found
In some parts Of New England.
The owner of a western farm of 800
acres, nearly all of it under cultivation,
who was visiting in Maine, sent a letter
home in which he expressed his mind
freely as follows:
Here in this country they call two
acres of ground, six hens and an old
rooster a farm, and half the time one
acre of the ground is graveyard. Give
me old Kansas every time. youths

rroublesome Telephones.

While the telephone in the drug store
Is a useful and essential feature of the
business, it is placed there more as an
accommodation to the public than as an
aid to the druggist. Like the Directory,
the telephone has become q pharmaceuti-
cal fixture, and no drug store is consid-
cred complete without both a telephone
and a City Directory. The Directory
usually speaks for itself, but not o the
telephone. The average lady who comes
in to use the instrument is ignorant OF
its mechanism, and courtesy compels
the druggist to assist her il not to do the
talking. / never saw a lady yet who
could walk in and work the telephone
without some assistance.
1t is really funny to observe how a
lady goes to work at the instrument. II
she can call up the party she wishes to
talk to, she usually does 1t in this way,
after the connection has been made: "Is
that Mr.. So and So? No. Won't you
please tell him to come to the telephone,
l would like to see him a minuteY' The
lady always wants to 'tsee" the person
she desires to talk to, although the per-
son may be miles away. Really, the
public has no idea of the time and pa
thence it requires from a druggist to at
tend to the telephone in his store. Not
only does he have to answer thousands
of questions for those who come in to use
it, but he is expected to receive messages
and deliver them to neighbors in his To-
cality. Oh, the telephone is a great in
stitution, but it often makes the druggist
wish it had Rever been invented.-Drug-
gist in Globe-Democrat.

A Danger Peculiar to csIden in Flat

A Danger Peculiar to Residence in Flats.
The Lancet Qondon) raises its voice
of warning to apartment house occu-
pants, which is worth considering. An
ordinary householder has access to every
portion of the building in which he lives,
and should he suspect n defect, he can

and remedy it. But in the case of flats,
while the actual apartments rented may
be free from all risk of evil, the tenant

of cases have come under our notice in

payments of laborers employed by cor

that the limit be 10 per cent; calls at

lief for the people; refers to the peni-
Tertiary as having been managed in a

SPEAKING of the prohibitory law.
Governor Humphrey in his message
says: "The growth of public senti-
ment in supports of constitutional pro-
hibition in Kansas is steady, healthy,
and unmistakable. In the last cam
paign no political party had the temer-
ity to demand a resubmission of the
question to the people. in the face of a
popular verdict that has been repeated
and emphasized every time the popu-
lar sense has been taken. As an issue
in Kansas politics, resubmissiou is as
dead as slavery. The saloon as a fac
tor in politics. as moral iniquity, has
been outlawed and made Fugitive
and vagabond on the face of the
earth," or that part of it within the
territorial limits of Kansas"
