THEY BENEFIT A TOWN.

At a meeting of the manufacturers in
Memphis last week one of the speakers
set forth clearly those who are most bene-
ted by the development of manufacture
ing interests. The grocer gets more out
of it than the manufacturer. I'VE would
make just as much if we did not make u
shoe in this town. We would even make
more if we sent East and bought our
shoes. But now we have some 80 EN-
ployes to whom we pay $500 to $500 a
week. Now, all this goes out to the mer-
chant for dry goods, groceries and house
rent. What is true of our factroy is true
of others. The wholesale and retail gro

There are at least 5000 operatives. which
means at least 10. 900 mouths to fill. Now,

BOARD OF EOUAIJZATION

The State board of equalization was
in session yesterday considering an appeal
from, ruling made by Comptroller Fin
ley fixing the value of lands in UPTON
county owned by the Milburn Wagon
company and J. A. Ely at $1.50 per acre.
The board, after careful consideration,
sustained the appeal and reduced the
valuation to 81 per acre. About $4,000
acres are involved.

pale, silent, her eyes intent upon him
with an expression that he could not
then understand, but that he afterward
construed into shrinking horror of
the wreck he had become. A crowd
of people had surged in between
them-neigh friends, Indifferent
acquaintances, the majority with
hearty words of sympathy on their
lips; few moved by idle curiosity to
see how foully the accidents of fortune
had plundered him. Ono old woman
whose son had fallen on the battle
field had cried over him in the place of
his own mother, whose frail thread of
life had snapped in the tension of the
first few months after he had gone to
the front
In the midst of this tumult of pity
and sorrow he had again had glimpse
of Hetty, her gaze withdrawn from
him, calmly penciling some memoranda
in a little silk-bound book that she
carried, and he had wondered If she
were making note of some finery she
intended to wear at the next party
or church festival or was taking down
the date of an engagement she had
made for boat ride or dance, bitterly
contrasting her gay life of pleasure
with the heavy burden of care and per-
plex'ty that had descended upon him.
Yet few seconds later there had been
a moment, strange, bewildering mo-
ment when she had paused before him,
looking into his eyes again with a
mute, beseeching look, striving to
speak, her trembling voice dying away
in broken utterances. One instant she
had put up her little hand to re-
arrange some trifling disorder in his
dress, as loving woman might have
done for her disabled hero; in the next
she had slipped away out of his life
forever
He had taken his place with his COM
rades, behind the whcezy string band
that led the procession, preceded only
by the high dignitaries of the village
and the carriage containing the orator
of the day. Citizens were grouped on
the platform, watching the line form
while waiting for their carriages. For
the instant, the old soldiers, whose
services were forgotten for the rest of
the year, were the center OF attention.
John Sexton saw Miss Mehitable
Plympton standing on the church
steps. He lifted his hat courteously,
albeit somewhat awkwardly, with his
left hand, and calmly regarded her.
She was really very well-preserved
woman for her age, but there was
wrinkle forming on her forehead, be-
tween her eyebrows, and her hair was
getting grayer on the temples The

and He Did SO.


and He Did So.
When the conductor had looked at
the ticket and punched 1t he stopped
over and stuck it in the hatband of the
dignifled fat man, at which the fat
man became enraged.
"How dare you take such liberties
with mel" he shouted. "Who told you
to stick that ticket in my hat? Don't
you see that I'm man of importance
and very sensitive? It's all very well
to be fresh with the jays, but you
haven't any right to insult me-"
He took off his hat, removed the
ticket and continued: you think be-
cause you're a conductor on this road
that you can get as gay as you like,
but I'll teach you that you've got me TO
deal with, and I'm taxpayer, at that.
You can't stick tickets in my hatband,
even if we are strangers and you aren't
aware of my social position"
He fumed for about an hour. Then
the train passed Albany, and the con-
ductor came around again. He took
the ticket from the hand of the digni-
fed fat man, punched it again and
once more put it in his hatband, alb
sent-mindedly.
"See here" the fat man roared.
Didn't tell you before not to stick
thai ticket thereP That's a piece of
gayness wouldn't stand from my own
father, and he's been dead five years.
I'll report you to the boss of the whole
road, and If he doesn't help me I'll
gamble in the stock of the company
and hammer it down so that they'll
beg for mercy"
After they passed Utica the con-
ductor repeated the performance with
the ticket and the hatband. This was
more than the dignified fat man could
put up with. He jumped to his feet,
grabbed the conductor by the collar
and said he'd be blamed If he'd stand
it any longer.
That's all right" replied the con-
ductor, "but it's rule of the company.
You've either got to keep it in your
hatband or in your mouth. There is
no alternative. If you prefer it you
can put it in your mouth, leaving the
end in full view, so that can see 1t as
1 pass by"
WELL" said the fat man, stoutly-
there is nothing strange in a fat man
speaking stoutly, is there? We'll,
then, prefer to keep the ticket in my
mouth. Being free American citizen,
/ am determined to do as l blamed
please" and he kept it in his mouth
and preserved his Americanism.-N.Y Y.

was held. Sexton watched the growth
of this tendency as dispassionately as
youthful bloom.
''She has rounded forty now," he
said to himself. "Soon her eyesight

The graveyard was on little knoll,
crowned with naples, which were be-

long avenue the sun broke through the
Clouds sitting down through the deli

ters of seed pods, heightening the brill

marked the soldiers graves, and kiss

crept close to the mounds. The warmth
and rejoicing of n northern spring lift
ed the pail from each heart. Neighbor
looked kindly sympathy to neighbor.
The tragedy and woe of the great con-
flict were put resolutely from sight.
Valor and glory became the topic of
the hour.
John Sexton remained silent and pre-
occupied. A slight incident had dis
turbed him and aroused in him sense
of anxiety and discomfort which he did
not attempt to analyze. Toiling up
the steep ascent, Mohitable Plympton
had stumbled, and his arm had saved
her from falling. How thin and wasted
the hand that had clung to him for a
moment; how slight the weight that
he had sustained. With grim satisfac
ton he had watched the tokens of fail
ing youth in her keep pace with his
own accommodating infirmities. Beyond
this he had never looked until now.
She had seated herself upon the bank
and insisted that he should go on. Her
painting breath as she leaned against a
tree told how her frail strength was
exhausted. A nameless foreboding OPP
pressed him as he left her.
A comrade observed his depression
and approached him, addressing him
genially, touching the burnt hole in
his sleeve, in mute recognition of its
import, then lifting his hand to smooth
down the pocket lapel on the breast of
his old military coat. paper rustled

into the pocket and wondering what
