it is not an uncommon practice with
him to give an employee an order for
q new suit of clothes. He called one
of the young men aside one day and
said: 81 want to make you little
present. You wouldn't object to
some new clothes, would you? Here
is an order for suit Please accept
it as a token of my recognition Of
your service. .
The young man was very much
pleased. But when he came to think
the matter over he said to himself:
1.-THE chances are that I'll never get
this opportunity again. Mr.. Armour
has an army of employees, and it is
altogether unlikely that my turn
will ever come around again. I need
a business suit, but can buy itwith
my own money. I'll do the smart
thing and get dress suit on this or
der And the young man chuckled
to think what real shrewd game
he was playing
When Mr.. Armour got the bill for
$50 for that dress suit, he was consid-
erably surprised. He leaned his head
upon his hand and considered the af-
fair calmly Then he sent for the
young man.
my young friend, Z said Mr.. Ar
mour to the fellow, is this bill cor

The young man looked at the bill
and said, Eyes

a comparatively humble position
would be contented with moderate

inexpensive clothing. Forty dollars
would, 7 think, have purchased as
fine suit of clothes as you should
have. I am not finding fault with
you. I shall pay this bill and shall
never allude to itagain. But have
called you in here to ask you, as a
business man, whether you really
think it was a smart business pro-
cedure upon your part to practice
that which might be construed as an
imposition upon kindly disposed
employer? Do you not think that
would naturally have been more
pleasantly disposed toward you had
you been as generous in your use OF

The young man was greatly abash

Senator A. G. FOrney read paper
before the state board of agriculture
last week Of which the Press saws:
Among the papers read before the
session yesterday afternoon was one
by Senator A. G. FOrney, Of Belle
PLANE, who was really scheduled for
tOnight's meeting. His subject was
1.-THE Necessity for Cheaper Trans
pOrtation," and he made strong ar.
gument for more stringent govern
ernmental and state control of freight
and passenger tariffs and deplored
the practice of paying exOrbitant sal
aries to railroad officials. He called
attention to some of the inconsist-
'encies of freight rates in Kansas and
showed that the people of the state
are paying a great deal higher trans
portation charges than are the people
of neighboring states. He claimed
that Kansas is annually robbed of
s25, a'0cO0 through unjust tariff rates.

The treasury department officials
at Washington estimate that the per
capita circulation Of money in the
United States is $3.50. The Chicago
Express takes the figures given and
then shows by the ComptrOller's re-
port that the National bank reserve
amounts to 1913, 100000 and other bank
reserves $2O5, 645, 1903. The samereport
estimate tie population at G7,02l. 900.
Deducting the above sums brings the
per capita down to $l4.75. Then the
shipments of gold reduce it to $3.50.
Then count the millions that are lay.
ing idle in safety vaults and such
places and we probably have seven Oh
eight dollars per capita.

1'ige Retrieved the Bomb

'The hero of my story" he began,
according to the st. Louis Republic,
"and he was hero Of the first water,
was an Arkansas farmer who sailed
under the honorable name Of Miller.
Of course, you all know that in Ar
kansas it is against the law of the
commonwealth to use dynamite in the
public waters. Well, to hurry through
the statement of the case, a lot of us
came to the conclusion that if We
wanted to make a big haul Of fish it
would be necessary to use little
force. Accordingly, dynamite bombs
were secured anu we asked Miller to
go up stream and throw the bombs in,
while we, his guests, woald gather at
ford few rods down and secure the
floating fish. Miller, accompanied by
highly educated water spaniel, went
up the bank and prepared for his at
tack upon the denizens of the water.
He hurled one missile, fuse attached,
into the stream. An instant later his
dog was in the water, and in moment
he had the bomb in his mouth, swim
for the shore.
"Drap it, Tigel" shouted the farm
er, "Drap it, I Isay!'
"But the dog would not obey. He
swan wildly forward and in twenty
seconds had landed. Miller started to
run, the dog coming after him at a
break-neck gait. Miller ran toward
the fisherman below. They realized
the situation in an instant, and leveling
their guns warned the farmer to head
in another direction. The situation
for all it's seriousness, was the funni-
est that ever saw. Miller ran down
the hill, yelling at the dog to go back.
'stopr he yelled, fDrapit, Tige.
Go homer' but the dog only in
creased his efforts to reach his master s
side.
"But the end soon came, The fuse
burned it's length and then-Miller
never recovered even the collar Of poor
Tige."

Eighteen Hundred Million.

"Goodby, 1893, and better times
next year, is the universal sentiment
in trade, manufacturing and financial
circles.
The depression in business, shrink
age in values and general poverty that
have followed the panic are without
precedent. The panic of 1873, which
was the reaction from the imitation of
the war period, sinks into insignif-
cance in comparison with the record
of the year which closes to-day.
Liabilities of commercial, banking
and railroad concerns that failed dur
ing the twelve months aggregate near
ly 81 300, ,OOO,O 900. These stupendous
figures are unparalleled. The pheno-
mcna of this remarkable panic, occur
ring in a time of profound peace, and
with good harvests and an unprcce-
dcntcd abundance of all the raw mate
rial of wealth and in the absence Of
any physical disaster or destruction of
property, will remain subject for the
curious study Of political economists
for many generations to come.-Ney
