Col. Dupree, The intelligent edi
Tor OF The Copidh Signal realizes
The difficulties OF the pr%oprielorl
of The newspapers in Mississippi.
He says I'VE have learned that
the rrohl of any business consists
mme IN the dlminution of expense
to a minlmum than IN an enlarge
ment Of The amount done. Leaks
in a large business are rapidly wld .
ened and deepened, Like II Gre
vase when the levee breaks, il is
impossible, such is the flood, to
'retrench." Every old newspaper.
man soon learns not to enlarge too
rapidly. The larger The newspi.
per and the more men employed,
the harder to keep even and out Of
the clutches of the conSlabIeS.
But the facts pertain to all other
money getting pursuits. Run close
to shore aud be content with Ger,
tain, and don't strain alter huge
priits."

4 NOTORIOUS LIAR.

Burrows Wa, without doubt, the
most notorious liar Nevada will
ever shelter, says the New York
San. His fame rs a lilr spread
for a hundred miles around, and
men used to stop AT our camp t.
get a look nj him.
lie wasn't a wicked man. but he
was a natural born liar. lie lied
about his father, his mother, his
wife, his brothers, sisters and
everybody else, and for every hour
in the day he had new falsehood
One day n 10, OF earth caved in
on him and indicted fatal injuries.
and a number of Us Knocked of
work to be with him in his last
moments. Lying there with only
an hours lie left IN him. he Told
MS he had been a pirate on the
Pacific, and where be had buried
a large amount of plumber. We
all knew he was from OHIO, and
had never seen an ocean.
One of The men finally felt II his
duty to say:
Burrows you have only Il short
time to hive. You had better
spend that in preparing for e'er
mtv.

ly replied.
"Yes, but you are onawf"l liar,
you know"
Il suppose so. I've told a mil
lion, haven. "
"No doubt Of it,"
"Anl every one has been laid
up agin.' me!'
''Verv likely"

Just as that cave in came | struck
a nugget as big as my head. 1t
would value at a clean $4,000 If
you'll be kind enough t. pull il
out and sell il and send the cash
To my vile IN ono, II die leellng
better"
He went off S on after that, and
we said to each other he had given
us The greatest yaIa o! all. No
ore took his claim, which WAS
accounted poor one, and Il lay
for three months before one Of the
boys du2in!o it one day for the
pickax, buried and forgotten. He
hadn't got the pick when he came
across d lump OF gold WHICH Dal:
anced thirteen thousand two hun
dred and eighty dollars in coin.
and every shilling of the money
was sent ON TO the widow.
1t got TO Ohio TO find there WAS
no widow.
In his dying hour Burrows told
the truth about his find, but re-
pented Of it, ard he'd about having
wife.

Connecticut farmers, who continually
bemoan that the old state is used up for
farming, may learn something to their
advantage by consulting pretty Miss
Bertha E. Weed, who makes money till
ing tough little farm in the town of
North Canton. Miss Weed superin-
tends all the operations on her place, is
up with the sun every day, raises stock,
sells milk and butter and has big yard
full of some of the best fowls in the
state. What is still more wonderful,
she has learned how to make money in
the risky business of raising spring
chickens for market. She makes a
small fortune yearly selling eggs. Some
of them are extraordinarily large. She
presented a couple of them to the editor
of the Hartford Courant this week.
They weighed half pound apiece, and
are the biggest hens eggs reported in
the state this seasnn---New York Sun.

Yale KicKers to Train Mar1y.

William B. Moffitt, manager of the Yale
foot ball eleven for the coming year, has
Just completed arrangements for carry
ing out a movement which bids fair to
revolutionize foot ball training at Yale.
This fall Yale teams are to begin training
a month before college opens. This may
seem like carrying athletics to an ex-
treme, but the measure seems necessary
to insure a winning eleven at Yale this
year. Mr.. Moffitt has been looking about
for several weeks for suitable place to
take the Yale eleven about the middle OF
August. He has decided upon Newport
and has just returned from making full
arrangements for the Yale team while in
that city.

names in chronological order we find
among our Great Ten Thousand only six

was supreme court justice, and an
other his grandnephew, George c., who
represented Maryland in congress. The
remaining three are Peter g., a native
