Mighty Little Dollars.
Gastonia Gazette.
In reference to the Business Agen-
cy fund, the Progressive Farmer
talks back at the Gazette as follows:
"Ihe fund is right where it has
been all the time and will stay there.
A few small politicians tried to get
the contributors to withdraw their
voluntary contributions, but it did
not work. Contributors to the mum.
Der OF thirteen Q3) is an unlucky
number, you know applied for their
little dollars right away and then
(sad isn't it) they stopped. Since
that terrible unlucky number of
patriots spoiled the game, few
others have ventured forward and
claimed their little share, until the
total sum called for amounts to the
magnificent, gorgeous, gigantic
amount of $3.50. It is plain that the
great number of "dissatisfed" AL
liancemen "swunk up awfully" some
how. Several times that much has
been pledged to replace what is
withdrawn.
We intended to publish the names
OF the so-called Alliancemen who
withdrew the funds as fast as thew
applied, but in order that no one
should have chance to complain
that we tried to intimidate those
who might be small enough to ap-
ply for their funds, we have waited
patiently until they could put in
their claims. As they have had
ample time, we will begin publish
ing the names and amounts that
each one withdrew, probably next
week. The people want to see who
they are and all about them.
$50 the Gazette may rest assured
that most OF the fund is here to stay.
1t is properly invested and deposit
ed, part of it drawing per cent in
terest, and all of it doing the mem
bers Of the Alliance ten times as
much good as if it were in their
pockets. The State agency is doing
more and more business, and so far
as we can learn is entirely satisfac-
tory to all who take advantage of
the system. If any more informa-
tion is wanted by the Gazette we
will cheerfully give it. Now will the
Gazette publish this?"
Yes, we'll print it. Here's some
thing else we'll print, too. 1t ex.
plains why the Progressive Farmer
speaks SO cynically of 'little dol
lars" Leaving name blank, it is
true copy of the trustees letter:

sure enough, haven't they? One
dollar drawing 6 per cent. interest
for three or four years, doing the
depositor ten times as much good
as it could do in his pocket, and
worth at the end of that time just
eighty-fve cents is bully specimen
of Third party fnanciering. That
being "entirely sat isfactory to all
who take advantage of the system"
is good as sentiment worthy OF
the veriest highway robber.

A snake.charmer can, by simple
motion of his hand, make a moving
snake stop instantly.
The reason is this A snake is
most timid animal. His eyes, as has
been said before, while dull to color
and form, arc quick 10 motion, espec.
tally if it is rapid. If any large thing
moves very quickly too near hm, he
gets frightened and scurrics off;
while al certain distances the motion
stops him if he be moving. lie stops
from astonishmcnt, fear, or the wist
to see what it is that moves. Hence
ho glidcs on, unconscious of the
charmer's presence near him so long
as the latter remains perfectly quiet;
the snake doesn't know him from
tree or rock. But when he gives a
sudden evidence of life, the snake Is
astonished, aud Immediately remains
stock-still.
In India and Africa the charmers
pretend the snakes dance to the music,
but they do not, for they never hear
it. A snake has no external ears, and
perhaps gets evidence of sound only
through his skin, when sound causes
bodies in contact with him to vibrale.
They hear also through the nerves of
the tongue, but do not at all cOmpre-
hend sound as we do. But the snakes
eyes are very much alive to the motions
of the charmer, or TO the moving drum-
sticks of his confederate; and being
alarmed he prepares to strike. A
dancing cobra (and no other snakes
dance) is simply cobra alarmed and
in posture of attack. lie is not dane
ing to the music, but is making ready
10 strike the charmer. -[St. Nicholas.

hastily. For the colonel was well-lo.

had always entertained proper def

Though Miss Barbara's opinion was
not of much weigh; in this instance ;
f,r if the colonel had announced his
Intention Of marrying the broomstick,
Miss Barbara would have observed
that it had a fine figure. and would
probably make itself useful about the
house.
When tie colonel signifed his sover-

ever, he was amazed to encounter
obstacles. She dropped pretty little

sweetest way conceivable.
