Sincere Hand Shake.

1t was years since in the Ozark
region, where [ saw minister en-
Joy most substantial hand-shak-
ing, says a writer in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Shaking hands
was his peculiarly. He believed
in a potency of a cordial grasp to
win men to the church, and
though successful in winning souls
he was very unfortunate in the
matter of getting dollars. In fact,
proverty continually stared him in
the face. He owned a little farm
and mortgaged it as long as it
would yield dollar. The mort
cages we're falling due, but there
was no prospect of paying them.
But it did not bother him bit.
He shook hands more heartily
than ever.

Misunderstanding to bring everybody
out right he often said, until his
penchant came to be the talk of
the town. At last came the day
when the mortgages must be fore
closed that would deprive him of
the little home that sheltered his
family.
On the eve of that day a knock
at the door of his house. which was
a little way from town, called him.
When he opened the door whole
crowd rushed in, and, without say
ing a word, commenced shaking
hands. He felt something cold in
the palm of the first man, and |
when the hand was Withdrawn it |
stuck to his own. "That is the
most substantial shake 1 ever ex-
perienced. he said, as he held
up a S. gold piece. But the next
man stepped up and a silver dol
was left in the preachers palm.
No one would say a word in expla-
but pressed in on him as
fast as he could stick the metal
and bills into his pockets. The
house was not large enough for
the visitors, each one of whom de-
posted from 81 to SO in the out
hand. Each left the
moment his little errand was ac-
eomplished, and not word could
be had in explanation except the
last one. who, as he turned to 90,

The several Jokes" Melted just
1911. His home was saved and
neat balances was left besides. The
minister maintained that he had
contracted a habit that night that
for a year afterward, when he
shook hand, prompted him to
look into his own palm, half expec-
ting to see a piece of metal there.

One of the largest contracts for
furnishing paper for the use OF
the census Office is the one for
MANILA tabulating cards. The
number of cards that will be used
is estimated to be 100000, and
it is said that it will require 26O
tons of MANILA paper to furnish
these cards. Under a former
contract 100000 sheets for the
population schedule will be fur
nished, which is said to be the lar
gest single order for writing paper
ever given. No single mill IN this
country could meet the demand.
and the order is now being filled
by two of the largest paper mills
in the country. Already orders
have been sent out for 1860
reams of paper, which will weigh
$4,000 pounds, and at the con.
tract price, 9 cents per pound, vii
cost S52.56O.

Great will be the blessedness of
those who have not to weep over
harsh words, bitter expressions, or
wanton neglect to those who ought
never to have been subject to such
things. None will ever regret

hasty ones which made the heart
ache, and perhaps fastened the
death we had to mourn. If, there

Judging from the ponderously dull
remarks of ex-President Cleveland at the
Thurman banquet, his conception of ''true
Americanism" is to sacrifice the business,
manufacturing and labor interests of ones
own country so that ''cheap coatsp and
''enforced economy" may be common.
When the American workingman buys
coat two or three dollars less than now,
and gets fifty cents or one dollar less a
day for his labor, he will not think sten-
forced economy" is so pretty an American
characteristic as the ''stuffed prophet of
William street," who has managed thus
far in life, by good luck, to grow fat and
rich without the use of either muscle or
brain.
If Cleyeland's remarks mean ANYTHING
and that is open to question-they mean
that the American people are better off
when they are compelled to be frugal and
economical that having your nose to
the grindstone, causing ''cheap and care
full living" is a benefit to the country.
The farmers of this country have had a
taste OF this for some years past, and they
will appreciate Growers idea for what it
Is worth.
For our part, we like better that
"Americanlsm" which does not grind
down prices for labor or manufactures to
anywhere near the point of ''self-denial, y
but which rather encourages good wages
to the workingman and good profits to the
manufacturer

The financial furry originated in Eng
land and was due to the too wide and in
discriminate expansion of British enter
prise, typified in the wholesale purchase
of various manufacturing and other inter
ests in this country by syndicates of Eng

financial dough too thin, and it was badly
burnt in places. The trouble did not
arise, however, from their investments in
this country. These are generally sound
