THE TALE OF THREE PAINTERS.

How They Got . Separate Compartment
on English Train.
In his life of Charles Keene, Mr.. Lay
ard remarks that Keene was once stay
ing with very famous painter, whose
country house was near Godalming
Another painter was Of the party, and
al three were going up to London by
an early train. They were discussing
over the breakfast table the probability
of getting room in the same carriage,
when Keene announced that he would
promise them q compartment TO them
selves. No guard was TO be bribed. no
porter was to be tempered with. no con-
siderstion was TO move from customer
to compsny-the thing was to Be done.

made. for the feat to those who knew

bility. The three painters were early
at the station. before the customary pas

compartment.
Then Keene gave his instructions TO
his friends. The brother artists painted
his face brown and yellow and red. and
muffied him in coats and gave him the
corner seat near the window. When
the other passengers arrived they avoid
I'd that carriage. They were business
men. grave. solid. careful Of their CON-

were 10 return in that very compart-
mens without knowing 1t. The thing
was too horrible. The guard Wa sent
for and instant action in the matter

for that fever stricken patient, and

He a. born in Utica, N. T., In 1850,

Gus parts Of New York. His health
failed by reason OF hard work, but he
lad earned enough to 60 to Rome, and
still refusing to follow the merely COM
mercial line he developed his peculiar
genius. Such success has recently
crowned his efforts that he is in fair
way to reach the highest rank.

Speaking Of James H. Miller. post
master at Gsuley Bridge. WA. New
York paper says he was appointed by
President William Henry Harrisoo over
fifty years ago, and is probably the old
est postmaster In the country. He has
retained his Office through all the politi-
cal changes Of the past half century, aud
at the age OF eighty-six years Is as
prompt and efficient as any postmaster
in the state. During the late war Mr..
Miller's Office was several times within
the Confederate lines, but he was never
disturbed or annoyed in any way.

10 II More Expensivs to Run Then o.
Account Of Our Higher Wages.
At q hearing before the senate COM
mittee on commerce recently, Mr.. Viii
liam NJ. WINS. president Of the United
States and Brazilian Steamship COM
pany, gave some interesting testimony
ON the comparative cost Of running and
operating American and British ships.
American ships, in the opinion Of Mr..
WINS. are more strongly built, moro
durable and in every way better than
English ships. Yet in the course OF
the hearing it came out that his COM
pany, which has been running both Brit.
ish and American vessels, has decided
to lay up. two Of its American ships on
their return from their present voyage.
In reply to questions from members Of
the committee asking the reason for this,
Mr.. WINS declared that they could not
afford to run these ships. 1t was not
because it cost any moro to build them,
for there was scarcely any difference In
the cost of building, but because wages
and the cost Of maintenance Of the crew
on an American vessel were so much
higher that his company could not run
them and still make profit. Going
into details, Mr.. WINS showed tho COM
parative monthly wages and the cost OF
maintaining the crew on two Of their
ships, one American and the other Brit
ish, and both Of about equal capacity,
to Be ss follows:

In other words, it cost g, 172 moro per
month, or over $26. 900 more per year, to
operate an American than . correspond
ing British vessel in the Brazilian Amer.
lean trade. Here we have presented the
essence of the whole shipping question.
Not because American vessels are moro
expensive is it impossible for our steam
ship lines to compete with those Of Great
Britain. 1t is because American wages
are higher, because the American sailor
is accustomed to better mode Of living
than the British that the cost Of main
tanning an American vessel Is 90 much
greater. There are, then. three methods
in which this problem can be dealt with.
Either we can lower the wages and de-
grade the condition Of the American
sailor to the level Of this foreign COM
petitor or we can allow Great Britain to
do all Of our carrying trade, and Thus
drive the American flag from the ocean,
or, thirdly, we can grant an adequate
subsidy, 80 as to cover the difference in
wages and cost Of maintenance ON Amer
lean and British ships, and thus resur.
rect the American merchant marine
without debasing either our sailors on
ourselves. The course which should be
preferred by every patriotic citizen il
evident.

Profits of Farming.

h P. Churchill of Phillipsburg
township. came to Phillips county in
1872, with wife and four children,
drove from Doniphan county, Kansas.
with team, settled on a $50 acres of
land four miles from what Is now
Phillipsburg. Mr.. Churchill, as well
as all the residents at that time, went
to what is known as Old Fort Kearn-
ey, distance of seventy-five miles,
from which point all products were
marketed, and all provisions purchas-
elk, except an occasional buffalo steak.
This is a brief sketch of what farm
life was in the seventies. Nothing
but raw prairie, 1nterspersed with
streams of pure water fringed with
timber along the banks, with nothing
but muscle and the earth as God has
nodded it for the use and develop
ment of man. Mr.. Churchill with a
pioneers grit has stuck to this same
piece of land for the past 20 years,
has purchased another $50 acres close
by and has had good independent
living for all this time; has now Is
head of horses, 20 head of cattle and
As head of hogs, quite an amount of
old corn, and 125 acres of corn that
Will make sixty bushels per acre;
over 1000 bushels of wheat, 80 acres

been the experience of every settler
who has stuck to his lands and not
ventured too far in visionary specula-
TONS
Mr. Corridan Ellis is a young sin
gle man, resident of Mound town
ship, came to this county three years
ago with an old team that had been
railroaded with all summer and fall.
He rented farm and the next year
he purchased two teams. Last year
he sold 5000 bushels of corn that he
raised with the aid of boy Is years
old, which he hired for two months.
This year he has over 1000 bushels
of wheat now threshed and marketed,
the proceeds of which he has applied
on the payment of 240 acres of land
which he has purchased at $3.50 per
acre, and has now over 5000 bushels
of corn standing in the field. He has
actually purchased the land he first
rented and will be able to pay every
dollar for it as soon as this crop is
marketed. Made in three years; this
Is only an illustration of what any
energetic, good farmer can do in g
country where lands are cheap and
rents low.
