A Meagre Breakfast.

A man who had every appearance Of
being well fed and in good health saun-
tered into q fashionable uptown cafe
few mornings ago, and, after deliberately
divesting himself Of hat, coat and gloves,
seated himself in cozy corner and be-
gan 70 read a newspaper. A polite waiter
put a napkin and glass Of water on the
table and waited for an order. He must
have known his customer, for he waited
patiently for nearly ten minutes Then
the deliberate man ordered q cup Of hot
water. "Have it boiling hot" said he
The water was soon brought, and the
gentleman slipped it as rapidly as pos
sible. When the cup was empty he said:
"Bring me another one and some celery"
The second cup of hot water was slipped
more leisurely, and the eating Of the eel
cry occupied about half an hours time
When the check was brought it read
two cups hot water, so cents; one pOr-
ton celery, 40 eents' It was paid with
out q nurInur, and after the man had
departed the waiter communicated to
a curious observer at the next table the
fact that "a great many gentlemen come
here and breakfast that Way T.

The Silk Threads In Paper
Money,

In spite Of the skill and industry Of
counterfeiters, they have never made
bill which did not have one or more vul-
nerable spots Some Of the products Of
their handicraft may seem perfect to the
unframed eve, but will find that each
one, like Achilles, has something lacking
in its armor. Perhaps the features Of
good treasury notes which counterfeiters
have found it most difficult to initiate
sre the two blue silk threads which run
lengthwise through them. They are
little over an inch a part, and though
sometimes almost invisible, they form
part of every bill issued by the govern
ment bureau Of printing and engraving.
A. L Drummond, chief of the secret ser
vice Of the treasury department, who has
had q long experience with counterfeit
ers and their wares, explained recently
whyi was so difficult to copy good bills
in this respect.
q In the first place he said, 'the silk
threads are put in the paper when it is
made at the factory. To make paper Of
this kind used by the government
requires big plant and lots of capital,
50 oounterfeiters are kept out Of it. Even
if they had the necessary money, they
wouldn't be fools enough to risk it all
for the chance Of making bogus bills. 1t
would be exceeding improbable for 3
paper manufacturer who already has a
factory to make the paper because TO do
so is a penitentisry offence"
Doctor Drummond then showed the
reporter a counterfeit two dollar bill
which had a single thread running
lengthwise through its centre.
"This is the only bad bill that ever
saw with silk thread in it. Even this
has only one thread in it, instead of two
so It would not be dangerous to q skilled
teller. / have never heard OF more than
two other bills Ike this cne. It is easy
to see that the oounterfeiter split this note
put in this thread and then pasted the
two parts together again The frayed
edges showed that. The fellow must
have been very stupid not to know that
genuine money has two threads instead
of one. An expert can easily tell when
a bill has been split in two and pasted
together again, 50 the silk threads
would not deceive him.

Once upon time peasant went to
sage who was celebrated for his wisdom
and said:

to do me personal injury"
"Haye you ever injured him."

Editor AnannIas.

A California exchange editor had be-
gun to think lying was played out in the
Pacific slope press until he encountered
the following;
A couple Of weeks ago Mono county
farmer had 5000 barrels Of popcorn in a
barn. The barn caught FIRE and the air
was iiIled with dense showers Of pop
corn. This extraordinary exhibition
caused an old mare in the adjoining field
to think that winter was at hand. So
she lay down under three feet Of pop
corn and froze to death.
Eureka he murmured, 'the country
is safe. Afterward followed in quick
succession, veritable accounts that during
the past week have varied the mOnotony
of the country crop reports, and divided
the honors of public attention with the
grssshopper Of the San Joaquin and the
San Jose scale. There was the Winters
woman whose turkeys got drunk on
branded cherries thrown out as waste,
and who, thinking them dead, plucked
those misguided birds, as many another
bOozy bird has been plucked, and was
filed with horror, sometime later. to see
them recovered from their spree, walk
ing about clad only in their own mani
fest embarrassment
There was thepetrifed girl from France
found after many years with her feet
grown fast to the solid rock, of which she
had become a part, and who still main
tains a stony silence as to how she came
so. There was the man who crawled
into hollow log to escape storm, and
who was wedged tight by the swelling Of
the wood upon being wet. There was
the tree cut by loggers up on the COlum-
bia, the trunk Of which wss found to be
so full of bears, and which was headed
up and rolled down 10 town with its
overload of Ephraim in good shape. In
fact, enough evidence passed before the
exchange editors searching eyes to dem
onstrate clearly that the journalistic An
annias Of the Pacific coast is doing bust
ness at the old stand.

A Mistake in Cattle Breeding.


One of the most damaging practices
INDUCED in by many Of our farmers and
beef producers is allowing the local
butcher OF shipper to select from time to
time for slaughter or for shipment such
COWS and heifers as are in the best con-
dition and the retention for breeding
purposes Of such as are in poor condi-
tion, where all have had the same care.
And vet it is q much too general a prac-
tice among those not particularly engaged
in the improvement and building up Of
high class herd, pure bred or otherwise.
The animals in good condition are so
simply because they possess the natural
hsrdihood, constitutional vigor and feed
ing quality to lay on flesh and excel in
beef production under the same condi-
tions that other animals in the herd will
retrograde or barely exist.
How many men at the approach OF
winter, with a surplus Of cows and heifers
that have all had the same care and been
surrounded by the same opportunities
for improvement, will select such as are
already in shipping condition and let
them 60 in preference to selecting the
slow feeders, the inferior individuals,
and even at some expense shaping them
up for shipment, and thereby enabling
themselves to retain the best, TO raise
their standard of excellence and increase
the money making power of the herd ?
Unless this is done even the use Of the
best bulls will accomplish little but by
continued use Of the best bulls Tested
bulls if possible), by persistent reten-
ton Of the sappiest, beefest heifer, and
the exclusion Of the slow feeders and
harsh handlers, we can eliminate our
selves from competition with cattle rails
ed under conditions and at prices with
which we cannot compete.-BrsedsrS

THE OLD FOLKS LONGING.

Don't 60 to the theatre. lecture or ball,
But stay IN your room tonight.
Deny yourself 70 the friends that call,
And good, long letter write
Write te the sad old folks a. home
Who sit. when the day is done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes.
And think Of the absent one.
Don't selfshly seribble. a. Excuse my haste,
I've scarcely the time 20 write"
Lest their broodine thoughts wander back
To many bygone night,
When they lost.their needed sleep and rest,
And every breath was prayer
That God would leave their little babe
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel that you've no more need
Oftheir love and counsel wise,
For the heart grows strongly sensitive
When age has dimmed the eyes.
1t might be well 10 make them believe
You never forget them quite
That you deem il pleasure when far away
Long letter sh0sne 10 write
Don't think that the young and giddy friends
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thoughts for you
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty Of writing do not put OF;
Let sleep OF pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they waited long,
Be day or an hour too late.
For the sad old folks at home,
With locks fast turning white,
Are longing TO hear from the absent one,
So write them q letter tonight
