Governors retired to the shade of the
long back porch, where corncob pipes,
with long twists of homegrown to-
bacco, awaited them.
There, in the long, soft afternoon,
reclining on easy bottom rockers, they
lolled and smoked and talked the hours
away. Betwixt the twain, on the floor,
sat a trimming pitcher of apple toddy,
with the mellow, roasted fruit impu-
IDENTIFY floating on the surface of the
divine tipple. From time to time this
aided and enlivened the conversation.
They talked of the comparative ex-
cellences and advantages of their re-
spective States, of the price of cotton,
OF horse raising and runaway negroes;
as they talked they smoked, and as
lated on the coming glories of the
country; they pledged eternal friend

vowed to preserve all neigh borly cour-

CHARACTER AZ CAPITAL
The Money Lender :; -.rd for the Good

The Money Lender :; -srd for the Good
Name of tlI. borrower.
When King Soloman long ago wrote
that good name is better than riches,
1t is dou btful whether he meant that
reputation for honesty could be made
TO serve in lieu of moneyed capital Yet
this Is what often proves to be the
fact II will lend you money at legal
rates on your own note" used to be
the remark of an old and wealthy man,
who had much practical experience, to
young mon. active, industrious and
economical, Who wero just engaging in
business When told that he ought to
exact security. he replied: The char
scter of q young man who is doing his
best to accumulate q competence hon
Setly is all the curity 1 need. I have
dost much from the decline in securities
wasted by the improvident. So long
as young man continues in good
health and is industrious and frugal
what l lend him will only help him to
accumulate money faster and thus each
year make my security better"
There is much in this, and especially
in cases of loans on farm property.
Whether such loans are safe or liza BILE
to loss depends less on present value of
the land than it does on the way it is
being managed. The good farmer is
constantly aiming to make his soil more
Fertile and productive This makes the
Becurity better. If, on the other hand,
money loaned is used for unnecessary
hI1i 20 - l..
1t may easily prove the burden that will
finally over weigh the farmer, and pos
sibly make it impossible for him to
pay. The interest account alone Of
such an indie will usually pre-
vent the owner of farm that is en-
cum bered for unproductive improve
ments from making those that would
pay. All the property he holds is,
therefore only SO much dead weight
that must constantly decline in value.
We believe the time is coming and in
many sections has already come when
the money lender will take account,
not merely of the present value of
farm property, but of what the farmer
is doing with it, and espe cially whe Their
ut is growing richer or growing poorer.
Bad crops and seasons may put even
the best farmer behind for year or
: two; but if he has set out to improve
the productive capacity of his land,
he has in that fact an assurance that
the burden of debt will each year grow
smaller by increasing his ability to
pay. Thus young men not afraid Of
work, who set out to improve their farms
in ways that are pretty sure to bring
returns within year, can usually bor-
row all the money they need if they go
to those familiar with their modes of
working Their available assets may
not be much if any more than enough
to pay present indie btedness, but in
their industry and knowledge of farm
ing there is assurance of increasing
wealth which needs only little en-
couragement at first TO make a great
success
This is practically lending money on
the character of the borrower, and
thus making it a substitute for capital
This is more frequently done. even
now, than is generally supposed, and
is likely to be still more common in the
future. Boston Budget.

Two Kinds of Astrologists-

There are two kinds of astrologists-
those who are intuitive and those who rely
solely on mathematical calculations. The
latter meet with the greater favor among
educated and thoughtful people, while the
superstitious and uneasoning have as
much, if not more, respect for the seer who
knows 1t simply because he knows it.
Ruthiel of Baltimore, who has been con-
suited by so many in this community, be
longs to the mathematical class. He will
not give names, but says he is being con
stantly consulted by men who rank high
in business, political and social life. While
he does not say that astrology is n science,
he allows 1t hits entirely too often to be a
mere guess or coincidence.-Edgar Lee in

Defects In Statistics.

The census of 1850 tells US that there was
one criminal in that year to o.ery $500 of
the population of the United .-tates. The
census of 1890 declares the ratio to have
risen to one in every $50. The tabulators of
1880 are silent upon three important points
having vital bearing on their figures.
They do not say whether the vigilance of
the police and the efficiency of the courts
had during 10 years changed for the better
or the worse, or how far Ire drift of popula-
tion to the cities had made it easier to de
tect crime in 1890 than in 1850 or to what
extent crimes in 1890 were so considered in
1850. To come to the case of honest labor
we are told by the census returns, and tr,I-
ly, that wages are higher now than a gen
Grafton ago, while in the main a dollar
buys as much as it did then But as to
how much more the workman wants today
than he did 80 or 20 years ago we are unin-
formed.-New York Sun.

Great Rock Island Route
TO THE last.

Best Dining Car Service in the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
is thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining
ears. sleepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite. honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
a task difficult of accomplis hment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station, close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and YOU can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.
