All through that part Of the country
(Northern Ohio there is a discount OF
20 cents on every Canadian dollar. OF
course, Canadian money is not as
much in circulation as is the legal ten
der of the United States, but there
was enough for this purpose. A man
advertised in all surrounding country
towns that he would redeem Canadian
money for 80 cents on the dollar. It
was some time before be- had any re-
suits from this advertising. 1t was
like the man who stood on London
bridge at midnight and offered to give
away sovereigns. People laughed at
him. The farmers were shy They
:theHght it was sWindling game Of
some kind and left him severely alone.
One day a man came in with $40 in
Canadian money. 1t was of all shapes
and sizes from the 5-cent piece that
looks like dime to dollar bill drawn
on the Bank of Montreal. If he had
spent it he could have secured So
worth Of goods for it, My man gave
States money for it,
Before the week was out he had ex-
changed United States dollars for $3.50
worth cf Canadian money. This
would give him a profit Of $25 wher-
ever Canada money is as good as our
own. From that time on the business
gradually increased until to-day he
averages about $3.50 per week. In
stead of having farmers come to him
he goes to them and buys their accu-
mulated savings Of Canada coin. They
are all his customers and know him
well in the five years they have done
business together
Are you not afraid Of competition
In your business in case it becomes
generally known?' 1 asked" said the
drummer.
No. said he. you see, it requires
a comparatively large amount of
money as starting capital Then l
have to have men in the frontier cities
who will give me United States money
for my Canada currency. l generally
take a trip twice a year to Detroit,
Cleveland, Chicago and Buffalo, where
L make these exchanges. All this re-
quires years of preparation, and no
outsider could step in and make ex-
changes with my patrons. as they
have all the money they can handle
now, even at a per cent commission

Paper Pulp for Leaks.

Paper pulp is one Of the most useful
articles in the reach Of mankind. Mix
ed with glue and plaster Of paris or
Portland cement, it is the best thing
to stop cracks and breaks in wood,
Tie pulp must be kept in close STOP
pered bottle, in order that the mois-
ture may rot evaporate. When re-
Quired for use, make it of the con-
sistency Of thin Cruel with hot water,
add plaster of paris to make it slightly
pasty, and use it at once. For leak
age around pipes, to stop the over
flow of water in stationary wash
stands, where the bowl and the upper
slab join. it is invaluable. Used with
care, it will stop leaks in iron pipes.
provided the water can be shut or
long enough to allow it to set. Around
the empty pipe wrap a single thick
ness ar two or cheese cloth just wide
enough to cover the break, then apply
the compound, pressing it in place and
making an oval of it somewhat after
the fashion of lead pipe joining, only
larger. The strength Of this paste,
when once it is thoroughly hardened,
is almost beyond belief. The bit Of
cheese cloth prevents any clogg1ng OF
the pipe by the paste working through
the cracks Paper zip and fine saw
dust boiled together for hours, and
mixed with glue dissolved in linseed
oil, makes perfect filling for cracks
in floors. It may be put on and left
until partly dry, then covered with
paratiine and smoothed with a hot
iron.

LAssOING a DROWNING MAN.
A Hint to the Life Saving Service on
the Value Of the Lariat

"A h1nt TO the Lie saving service on
the Value Of the Lariat.
"You were asking me awhile ago
about the lariat and it's uses," he
said, ''and it reminds me of time on
one occasion when it served an excel
lent purpose IS life preserver'
1T is isn't always used for that, is
it!' Quericd the writer.
"Well, no." laughed the westerner,
I've seen it do prompt service when
there was no other rope handy and
the hoss thief was But this time was
different" he went on. 81 know, be-
cause l was the one preserved. We
We're up in the canyon country looking
for some cattle, and one Of the boys
and I had gone off the trail, to Il
stream to take a bath, as you might
call it in the east, for it was hotter
than blaZes and shade was not plenti-
full. We went into the water some dis
tance above 2 turbulent rapid and 4
waterfall of 25 or 80 feet, and as we
didn't go to swim so much as to get
cool, all we needed was enough water
to cover us, and that's all my COM
panion took.
Il was, however. more ambitious,
and having been a fine swimmer when
l was in the east, l thought I would
branch out bit. I was soon branch
ing out extensively, and the first
thing I knew, the swift water caught
me and down l went toward the fall
l tried to pull for the shore, but it
was no good, and then set up a yell
that made the canyon echo. and my
partner came after me along the shore.

turned upside down and fired around
| promiscuously. until, about a hundred
yards above the final fall. I caught
on a rock. 1t was just high enough to
keep my head out Of water and I hung
to it till my finger nails seemed to be
imbedded in it. My partner at this
juncture showed the kind Of fellow
he was in an emergency, for he ap-
peared on shore with our two lariats
tied together, and just as I was about
to let go and be smashed on the rocks
below, he swung that lariat as cool as
he ever did from the back of his mus
tang and it dropped square over my
! head. The rest of it I am not very
conscious Of, because by the time he
had pulled me ashore by the neck l
was about as near hung as l ever
want to be, but he brought me around
all right in the course of half an hour
or so, and was quite as good as new
again"
THAT was a narrow escape" re-
marked the writer.
"And that was an old fellow who
saved me- added the Westerner. "for
he was so mad about the scare I had
| given him that I'll be blamed if he
didn't turn to before the day was over
and give me the worst licking I ever
got in my life for soaring him so.''

place to black night. The stars shone

the wind and had to be dragged back

Chicago Times under the Harrison
regime, were both opposed to an
nexation, but Mr.. Kohlsaat, who is
now proprietor of both papers, has
views directly opposite, and Ha-
waii is not the only land he would
see joined to the United States. He
favors the annexation of Cuba as
well, and will use his columns to
aid the cause of the annexationists
of both countries.
Kate Field, one of the Times
Herald's most noted writers, is
now on her way to San Francisco,
whence she will sail for Honolulu
on September 18th. Miss Field
has been commissioned by Mr..
Kohlsast to make a thorough study
of Hawaii and its people; not a
superficial one, such as is made by
English and French journalists
who visit American shores, for
few weeks in order to enlighten
their countrymen of our way, but a
thorough, concise and intelligent
study.
She will seek out all the advan-
tages that will accrue by annexa-
ton, both to the United States and
Hawaii. Then she will undertake
to learn the exact feeling on the
stands regarding the subject.
Both sides of the question have
been treated TO some extent in
American newspapers, but none
have been complete enough to Mr..
Kohlsaat's mind. 1t is his purpose
to have an unabridged review of
the entire subject. When this is
done, and by so intelligent and
clever a writer as Miss Field. he is
confident that the feeling in Amer
lea favorable to annexation will be
increased vastly.
When Miss Field has finished
her series of letters, the Times
Herald editorial columns will be
used to aid the cause of annexa-
ton with the next Congress. Miss
Field has not been limited as to the
time she will spend in her
searches. She will remain in
Hawaii as long as necessary to
fulfill her mission, be it six weeks
or year.
