ton and planning; nor is there the
chance of large profits to cover short
comings. But few of these farmers Co
operative stores ever rad such managers
at the head of them. Inferior men had
to be selected as the salaries offered were
not enough to attract others. The farm
ers apparently thought that what was
saved in that item was so much clear
gain. As an illustration, at the forma-
ton of one of these companies the prop
osition was made to pay the manager a
thousand dollars a year; but the major
ity of the stockholders insisted that such
a sum was more money than they made
themselves, was more than it was worth,
and so they fixed it at seven hundred
dollars. As result they got a seven
hundred dollar man. Again, in most
cases the stores are poorly organized.
The farmers are made the victims of
''sharpers' really, if not literally. With
out experience in trade themselves and
without the foresight to put their enter
prise into the hands of an expert, their
want of success was foregone matter.
Cooperation has proven a success in
England and France where the same tai
ent has been given to it that has been
given to other great corporations. 1t has
been a failure among American farmers
for the lack of that.

OnFFEE. ANn CnFFEEl

Many who talk learnedly about coffee

more or less strong infusion of chickory,
adultered with a portion of coffee.
heard of cOnnOisseur one day who made
the lives of his wife and cock q burden
to them by reason of the coffee brought
to him in his own house. In spite of the
most careful making and the most ALSO
lutte purity his Mocha was never right.
At last. in desperation, his wife asked
him if he ever got his coffee to his taste.
'Oh, yes; az the club. They make it
there right enough" was the answer
Driven to her wits end, the lady con-
suited with her cook and finally sent the
latter to the club to learn the ''proper
way to make coffee" As the absolute
purity of the coffee was one of the points
insisted on as essential by her master,
the cook studied the coffee used in pre-
pairing her masters infusion, and her
sense of smell speedily taught her that
his sO-called 'pure coffee" was largely
mixed with chickory The chef con-
firmed her opinion and she went home
The coffee was made and for the first
time gave perfect satisfaction. She was
sent for by her master and congratulated
on the change in the preparation, where
upon she answered quietly: "Please, sir,
it is not the making l have changed, but
the coffee. You require chicory with
your coffee, that's ALL" l believe moth
ing short of ocular demonstration salts
fed her master that it was actually the
purity of his homemade coffee that dis
gusted him.-LOndOn Queen.

HOW JOURNALISM PAYS.

1t is now going on to ten months since

about to engage myself to farmer, to

tragedy, based on eating lobster salad
and ice cream for supper the night of its

by ROxanna, my wife. / lacked the
courage to go myself, the postmaster has
such searching eye. Roxanna, who is
nervy, asked the postmaster how many
stamps we're needed for the first edition
of her husbands brains. The post
master replied only one. He grinneS
sarcastically as he answered.
The story was declined.
NY next attempt was a humorous
sketch on The milkman, who, mistaking
Saturday for Sunday, left honest milk on
the wrong day. This had great run
through the mails. | sent it to a dozen
papers. l was somewhat comfOrted,
hnwerer, by the note one editor sent me.
uO SaIu me would nave accepted the aTJi-
Gle with pleasure; the only thing that
hindered him was the thought that his
nilkman might take offence.
Then l tried writing for the agricul-
tural press. l wrote lengthy and learned
essays on how to become a successful
farmer, based on my experience Of a
summer on Cape Cod, where raise done

of seed, and other articles of like ma

These articles were accepted and
printed and copied; here was my forte, l

to write. In six months my stamps

co-oPERArIoN AMONG FARMERs.

Cooperation appears to have proven
failure with the farmers of North Caro-
lima. A dispatch from Raleigh announces
the collapse of large number of the
stores which we're established in that
State by the Alliance, and the loss of the
funds invested in them. These stores
we're started few years ago, when the
cooperative movement was strong, and
we're owned by stock companies of farm
ers. Their purpose was to sell all
kinds of goods to the members of the
Alliance for less than the same articles
could be purchased of other merchants.
1t is said that they generally did that;
but the bottom of the treasury has been
reached, and failures are now reported
all over the STATE. In some cases there
appears to be difficulty in fixing the liza
bility of the stockholders and of the pro-
motors, and the tangle which will follow
IS likely to be an expensive one TO the
farmers.
without doubt there are those who
will regard this as a fresh proof Of the
inadequacy of the principle of cO-Opera-
ton. Certainly cooperation does have
its limitations, but the collapse of
those stores does not mark them. The
whole experiment was doomed to
failure from the start The farmers of
New England have been through with it
and they know the defects of the scheme.
A few years ago every rural community
had its "grange" store, but il is with
difficulty that one is to be found now.
In the first place, in order to succeed the
managers of these enterprises must be
men Of more than average ability. They
do not have the elements of personal in
terest TO stimulate them to close calcula-

| the Pennsylvania were coming to take
| definite form. The spirit of combination
was in the air. From the first DR.. Green
was a firm believer in the practical util-
| ity of Prof. MorSe's invention. But the
manner in which it was handled practi-
cally destroyed all OF its chances of COM
mercial success. The patents were scat
tered. The lines were poorly constructed
and the telegraph system was without
any unity. Messages which were to go
beyond the initial line were delayed,
| until the public lost faith in the eff
cheney. of the service. 1t was then that
DR.. Green organized syndicate and
bought the Morse Line between Cincin-
natl and New Orleans, and the rival line
known as the Peoples. This was the
! beginning of the elimination of cOmpeti-
ton from the telegraph business. These
lines were combiucd into the Southwest
ern Telegraph Company, This move was
carried another stage, when, through the
ihcluence of DR.. Green, an offensive and
defensive alliance was formed amsng the
leading telegraph companies. Those in
the compact were 10 exchange but were
to handle the messages of no lines out
side the membership. The territory was
to avoid encrOachmeHt. The final stage
was the consolidation of all these into
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
the greatest corporation of the kind in
the world. From the figures of the last
report it appears that the Western Union
has one third of all the telegraph mileage
in the world and andes one-fourth of
all the telegraph traffic.
"The telegraph certainly is one of the
lines of business in which unity of man
agement and service has proved great
advantage, so far as public convenience
is concerned. 1t is almost of necessity
monopoly, and therein lies one of the
strongest arguments urged for the Gov
eminent control of it. The Western
Union managers have used their control
to reap large profits. Telegraph tolls
here are in excess of those in the leading
countries of Europe. At the same time,
the responsibilities involved in the Gov
ernment's taking control of the tele
graph are so serious, the diffiulty in
drawing the line when a step in that di.
rection is taken is so great, that those
who urge it must show that it is the only
course open for the protection of the
interests and convenience of the public"

The death of DR.. Marvin Green, Presi-
dent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, leads the Boston journal to
epitonize his life and the steps taken to
build up the great monopoly of which he
was the head. 1t begins by saying that
DIR. Green represented a peculiar type
of organizer of which the business an
nails OF this country now contain so
many conspicuous examples. He came
into activity just alb ut the time the
movement toward consolidation was be-
ginning to make itself felt among the
railroads. Old Commodore Vanderbilt
had quit the water and was trying his
hand at the creation of the New York
Central out of the dozen links which
made up the line between New York

This IL Meant for Won.

1t has been truly said that half the
world does not know how the other half
lives. Comparatively few of us have
perfect health, owing to the impure con
dition of our blood. But we rub along
from day to day, with scarcely thought
unless forced to our attention, of the
thousands all about us who are suffering
from scrOfula. salt rheum and other seri-
GUS blood disorders, and whose agonies
can only be imagined. The marked sue
cess of Hoods Sarsaparilla for these
troubles, as shown in our advertising
columns frequently, certainly seems to
justify urging the use of this excellent
medicine by all who know that their
blood is disordered. Every claim in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparilla is fully backed
up by what the medicine has done and is
still doing, and when its proprietors urge
its merits and it's use upon all who suf-
fer from impure blood, in great OF small
degrees, they certainly mean to include
YOU.

MILLIONAIRE AND BILLIONAIRE.

The millionaire has given us great tel
egraph, railway and newspaper systems:
we now want the Millionaire to harness
electricity to our productive machinery,
which shall still further lessen the cost
of production and transportation, so that
we may have still further advance in
wages, reduction in prices and larger re-
sources to call upon for public improve
ments; that laboIers may work fewer
hours day, and live forty miles from
their work. The social city, with its
theatres, libraries and cultivating in
huence shall be removed from the din
and dirt and humdrum of the CONNER
cial and workshop city; and this ad-
vance will necessitate the replacing of
the tenement rookeries by profitable
business structures, and thus abolish ex-
listing tenement-houses conditions, which
are the great stigma upon modern city
life. This process has already begun.
Millionaire capitalists are building
houses, and everyone is built on an i'm
proved plan, SO that the new tenement
nous has more improvements than did
the houses of the wealthy fifty years ago.
