The Secret OF Success.

Signor Scarem, the noted wild ami
NAL tanner, had put his trained tigers
through their tricks. He had driven
them round and round their cage,
and they had crouched in q corner
at the word Of command, though he
was but a weak human being, and
they were mighty wild beasts, and
could have torn him limb from limb
had they realized their power.
He had no weapon in his hand, II
we except a short whip which he oc-
casionally cracked over the tigers
heads. His performance being end
ed, amid breathless silence on the
part of the spectators, Signor Scarem
stepped from the cage unframed, and
then the tumultnous applause broke
forth.
People crowded about him to praise
his courage, and one man said:
4Don't you regard that as very dan
gerous2"
Not at ALL" replied the trainer.
~Tigers are not dangerous as long as
you keep on the right side Of them. "
(Which is the right side?" asked
the Questicner, quizzlngly.
"The outside, replied the trainer
as he strobe away to the dressing
room.

Rearda.

The Moors hold by their boards
when they swear, in order to give
weight to their oath, which after this
formality they rarely violate. The
length of beard seems to weigh with
them more than the stock Of brains.
Admiral Keppel was sent to AL
giers to demand satisfaction for the
injuries done 60 His Britannia Maj
esty's subjects by their corsairs; the
dey, enraged at the boldness Of the
ambassador, exclaimed shat he won
dered at the insolence Of the English
monarch in sending him message
by a foolish, beardless boy"
The admiral, somewhat nettled, re-
piled that "if his master had sup
posed wisdom was to be measured by
the length Of the beard, he would
doubtless have sent the dey a
he-goat."
This answer so enraged the dey
that he ordered his mutes to attend
with the bow-strings, saying that the
admiral should pay for his boldness
with his life, Nothing daunted by
this threat the ambassador took the
dey to the window, and showing him
the English feet said, III 1T was his
pleasure to put him to death, there
we're Engllshmen enough in that feet
to make him a glorious funeral pile
The dey, who wore a long beard, took
the hint from the man who had none.

Surprising Results Obtained by Irrigation
In the Southwest.
We have vast domain Of arid

tlon, will some day support a great
population. The Mormons have com
PEELED the desert to produce fruits,
grasses, and cereals in abundance,
and Joseph Smiths followers may
Justly claim to be the pioneers In the
practice Of that sort OF agriculture on
a large scale In this country, though
the ancient mission farms and vlLe-
yards Of Southern California were
irrigated In a crude way. What the
Mormons did half century ago and
the Spanish missionaries more than a
century earlier still, the modern
farmers of California, Colorado, Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, and half dozen
other States and Territories are now
repeating with profit and on rapidly
increasing scale, until 5000, 900 acres
of land, comprising $4,000 farms, are
now undGr irrigation and the average
value of their products ranges from
1926 to $40 per acre.
Surprising results are obtained on
these lands where man is his own
rainmaker, for the soil Is Of the
richest, and once the irrigation sys-
tenn is in operation there is no inter
ruptIon by drought The magnili-
cent crops OF corn, alfalfa, wheat,
and hay obtained, the wonderful
yields OF fruit and the possibility of
uninterrupted pasturage for cattle
have given a great impetus to irrlga-
tion In the far West and the next
few years will witness rapid ex-
pansion OF the productive area of
that region. Less than One-half of
one per cent. Of the total arid region
of the country is now under irriga-
tion, and of the SS3, 900, 900 acres so
classified there are $40, 900, 900 acres

NEW YoRK, December Ar. @. Dun a

II cannot be said that business Is growing

While the demand for speculative uses APP

The railroad earnings for the last week Of
November show larger decrease than for
either Of the preceding weeks, but In freight
traffic alone tho business was about the same
as for the first half Of the month. Wheat Ia
slightly stronger, western receipts being
considerably smaller than in recent weeks.
Corn 10 unchanged In prlcs, with heavy west
ern receipts and largo exports, and pork, hog
products and oil nre practically unchanged.
Cotton 10 shade lower, os receipts from
plantations continue to exceed those Of last
year, in spite of the very positive estimates
OF short yield and the average guesses Of
the operators IN the New Orleans exchange
10 over 100000 bales greater than the govern
ment estimate.
The iron industry shows no gain on tho
whole, with bessemer n little lower at Pitts
burg, with no sales Of rails ut combination

some finished products and rather scanty
demand for any.
The cotton manufacturer enjoys decided
