The Story of a Ham.

Young man, take my advice and pay for
things as you go. Do not run up bills. "
This was the sage advice a well-known BUSH
ness man gave a Washington Star reporter yes
terday. "Why?" continued he. Because in
the end you will have to pay for it all and there
is no telling for how much else beside. l will
tell you of little incident that came under my
observation recently, and you will see why
say so. The proprietor of a large provision store
in this city made a credit sale of a fine ham to
one of his customers, but much to his surprise
he found out a little later that he had forgotten
to whom he sold it, and failed to make any note
of it.
This bothered him somewhat until happy
thought struck him. He cudge ed the gray
matter in his brain and recalled the names of
thirteen men who had happened to be in the
store at the time the transaction took place,
though for the life of him he could not think
who had gone off with that piece of swine.
But, nothing daunted, he went back and told
his bookkeeper to charge up one ham to each of
those thirteen different accounts telling him at
the same time that when twelve Of the men OBJ
jected to paying for it to explain to them that
it was mistake that would not occur again.
What happened? Why, twelve of that party
paid their bh!s without q question, and only one
raised any objection on account of the pork
item. So at least eleven. and very likely all
twelve, had paid for something they had not
bought and that some one else had disposed of,

parents live on one OF the fashionable avenues,

peanuts?"

But where did you get the money!"

The New Brnzil.

Brazil, under a republican form of gov
eminent, is showing much more energy and
enterprise than it did when it was a mon
archy. The spirit of enterprise AMI
Improvement is cropping out. and if it shall
be we'll directed Brazil will be soon vastly
differ emit country from what it is at present.
Our dispatches contained q statement the
other day that a company had been formed
with a capital of $25, 00O, 900, much of which
was subscribed in Europe for the purpose
Of developing the country. The main feat
ure of the company's plans is to
establish twenty agricultural settlements
on public lands. Five thousand farms
ers, mechanics and shopkeepers are
to be brought from Europe. They are TO
be supplied with all the implements and
tools they may need, and supported
until they are able to support themselves.
Mines are also to be worked, manufactures
established and railroads built.
If this undertaking is well managed it
will be successful. Any amount of good
land can be had for the asking, and there
are rich mines and great forests which can
be made the source of boundless wealth.
If the undertaking OF this company is
successful other companies will be formed,
and the movement of emigrants from
Europe to Brazil will become very large.
This Brazilian company sets an example
to capitalists in this country who are seek
ing ways in which to invest their money
profitably. There are millions of acres of
unoccupied lands in every southern state
good lands-which can be obtained for a
very small price per acre. Why would it
not be profitable undertaking for syndi-
Gates to purchase them and settle upon them
immigrants from Europe, or from the
the northern states The improvement Of
the lands would make them very valuable,
and, besides, they would yield enough to
pay big interest on the money invested
IN them.
Brazil should be encouraged and assisted
in every possible way. The scheme to settle
her public lands is an excellent one, and
doubtless will be a profitable one. The re-
public will soon be firmly established, and
when it is Brazil will enter upon an era Of
remarkable prosperity.

The age Of Senator-Elect Irby, of South
Carolina, has been the subject of great
deal of comment since his election to
the Senate. He will be the youngest men,
Der of that body, and surprise has been ex-
pressed that one SO young should succeed in
getting into the Senate. But Mr.. Irby Is
SO, and there have been much younger SEN
ators, though not recently. Rufus King,
of New York, was not 81 when he was elected
senator. Benjamin Hawkins, of North Car
DINA, was barely 35, David Stone of the
same state was about 81, and Henry Clay
was not so. Mr.. Irby is old enough. He
illustrates the fact that man can get into
the Senate before he has used up the best
part of his life in making himself million
aire.

/ VIII the ''Sockless Jerry Simpson" be
Ingalls, successor in the Senatel What a
revolution that would bel 'Sockless Jerry"
was elected 70 congress by the political
/ cyclone which struck Kansas last Novem-
Der. He is ambitious 10 90 to the Senate
There is no limit 10 the ambition of this
/ sockless man. II elected 10 the Senate he
would aim at the presidency.
! And this ''Sockless Jerry" is not a man
Of extraordinary ability. He doesn't pre-
, tend 70 be a scholar nor an intellectual
giant. His stock N trade is that he doesn't
wear socks. Cowhide boots is all the cover
ing he wants for his feet
And this man has captured the good will
Of the Kansas farmers. OF course he is
shrewd, very shrewd. He is a frst-class
politician. His Abandonment Of socks was
not matter of choice, but matter Of
policy. He could not have adopted more
effective way TO bring himself to the notice
of the farmers and win their approval.
The struggling and mortgsge-burdened
farmers Of Kansas who have seen ingalls,
know that he is great stickler in the mat
ter of dress. His coat is of the finest cloth
his scarf is Of the richest silk aud is notice
able for Its bright colors. His shoes are Of
the best quality and his socks ART. doubtless,
silk A striking contrast is the superbly
dressed ingalls, to "Sockless Jerryr'
The hard-headed alliancemen who are
members Of the legislature will notice this
contrast when they see the two candidates
at Topeka, and it will not be remarkable if
''Socklees Jerry" wins their sympathies at
the start.
An eastern manufacturing establishment
sent Jerry" box Of socks few days ago.
He got a copy of the Mckinley tariff and
figured out the extra price the manufactur-
ers were able to put upon them on
account OF that tariff. He then
returned them with the statement
that he couldn't afford to wear socks
that cost the people So much more than they
were worth. OF course. that was an adver-
tisement for Jerry, and. though he gaveup
the socks, he advanced a step nearer the
United States Senate.
What figure ''Socltless jerry would cut
in the Senate And he may get there He
would never tire of referring to his sockless
condition. II Ingalls, were beaten by him,
his worst enemies would feel that at least
they had got even with him.
IT ingalls, had the courage, he might adopt
Jerry's tactics. He might abandon not only
socks, but also shoes. But he hasn't the
courage

1t looks as if Postmaster General Wanna
maker and the civil service commissioners
were about to have big row. The COM
missioners have published two-coloumn
article, in which they charge that the
Postmaster General has obstructed the
work of the commission, and has not shown
disposition to obey the civil service law.
On the other hand, it is understood that the
Postmaster General does not think that all
the patriotism and purity of the country
are confined to the civil service commission.

saying that challenge for another race for

that the clause would be waived If the
