Balfour and the Caddies.

Many stories have been told about
MIR. Balfour and the caddies. On one
occasion, when about to engage in q
game, Mr.. Balfour, recognizing in an
opponents caddie former club bearer
OF his own, gave him nod of recoenf.
ton. Thereupon the caddie, with q sat.
isfied smirk, turned to his neighbor and
remarked, eye see hoo we Conservatives
ken ane anither -
MIR. Balfour does not object to COM
ments from a shrewd caddie, and ha
tells with great relish a story Of one at
Pau: An English player who knew no
French, having made fine shot, turned
round to his French attendant for an
plause. The latter described the shot in
the only English words which he had
heard habitually associated with any
remarkably successful stroke in the
game. Looking full in his employers
face, and with his most winning and
sympathetic smile, he uttered the words,
"Beastly fluke Woman at Home.

Legend of the Pansy,

A pretty fable about the pansy is cur
rent among French and German chill
dren. The flower has five petals and five
sepals. In most pansies, especially of
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two of the petals are plain in
color and three are gay. The two plain
petals have single sepal, two of the
gray petals have sepal each, and the
third, which is the largest of all, has
two sepals.
The fable is that the pansy represents
a family, consisting of husband and
wife and four daughters, two of the lat
ter being stepchildren Of the wife The
plain petals are the stepchildren, with
only one chair; the two small, gay pet
ais are the daughters, with chair each,
and the large gay petal is the wife, with
two chairs.
To find the father one must strip away
the petals until the stamens and pistils
are bare. They have fanciful resem-
blance to an old man, with a flannel
wrap about his neck, his shoulders up
raised and his feet in bathtub. The
story is probably of French origin, be-
cause the French call the pansy the STEP
mother. er.-Household Magazine.

TOINVENTORS.

If you have made an invention you want a
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to lightning rod without ground con-
nection. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specifca-
tions, or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.
Do you want to know what the Press Claims
Company is? 1t is a syndicate of hundreds OF
the leading papers of the United States, or

Not Disturbed by Trifies.

Twas walking up the village, when ]
saw, to my dismay, that the entire gable
end of one of the cottages had fallen
bodily out, of course exposing the rooms,
both up stairs and down stairs. My first
thought was naturally for the safety of
the family, young agricultural labor
er and his wife. But there were my
friends just returning from an errand,
and this was the conversation which fol-
lowed:
so. B., what has happened to your
cottage?"
cts only the end have a-fallen out,
sir" cheerfully.
"Only the end, but when did it hap
penn"
Last night about 1 O'Clock. My
misses and I were s1eepin in one of
those bedrooms, when she suddenly heard
a noise. do sleep very hard, sir, but at
last she woke me and said, What be
that, Bill? Oh, says 1, it be this ere
blessed end of t. house have a-fallen
out. And, sure enough, so 'twere. But
then we'd been expectin of it some
time We know he wer'n't very SAFE. -
''But what did you do?''
"Well, tried to light candle, but
'twere BLOWN and rainin very hard, and
the wind blew her out every time ]
lighted i'm. So we just lay quiet till 3
O'Clock, and then we got up, for 'twere
gettin bit publiclike. -
Weren't you frightened?'
ooh, no, sir. You see we'd been ex-
pectin of it.
"But what are you going to dor"
"Oh, Mr.. - will send some bricks,
and he'll be built up again in day or
two"
.''But you're surely not going to stay
here tonight?'
"Oh, yes, sir (from the woman). Bill
says he don't want to move. I could go
down to my fathers, but may just as
we'll sleep along with Bill" F"
And so they did. A friendly neighbor
nailed up sailcloth to make their rooms
a little less ''publiclike' and to afford
some protection from the weather, and
there they staid one more night at least,
after which some of US succeeded in in
ducing them to move until the wall of
their home was rebuilt. Spec

induced you to accept him? And surely
it is not yet too late to break off the en-
gagement. -
She wiped the tears aside and looked
up at him once more.
1t is not too late,' she said, "but
what am I to do? Mr.. Hartley offers me
a home, and my marriage will relieve
Mr.. Leyton of heavy incubus. What
am to do?''
1T is difficult question to decide, :"
he replied, the kind face growing very
grave, ''and it is not for me who am,
after all, a comparative stranger, to bias
your decision in any way But cannot
help thinking you are too good for Mr..
Hartley-much too good for him-and,
if you will permit me to say it, am
sure girl like you suffers from no lack
of suitors. Why not wait until better
man comes along?"
Her hands met behind her back in a
clasp that drew blood.
''Thank you, Mr. Grover, 1 will abide
by my choice" :"
''Miss Newman is certainly acting
very foolishly in this matter" Mr.. Gro
yer said to himself a few hours later,
"but of course she knows her own busi-
ness best. After all, I dare say she does
not mind so very much. Girls always
rant bit about marrying men ten years
older than themselves, but they have
rarely any deep feeling one way or the
other as long as there are good settle
ments. An awfully nice girl, Miss New

will be happy"

HEN DOTTED VEIL.

Her dotted veil doth emphasize
The tender splendor of her eyes.
Its crisscross meshes are snare
The stoutest heart must needs beware.
And safest le who swiftly flies
Her dotted veil.
A patch of plaster here and there
Did ladies of the court devise
To make compilations still more fair,
But now my lady multiples
This fancy and, forsooth, must wear
Her dotted veil.
And once her veil she pins and ties
The winds may mad1y veer and tear.
She steps a maiden debonair
Without Il thought, without care.
'Twixt her and fair or cloudy skies
Her dotted veil.
Yet all's not said, for some declare
mine of untold wealth there lies
In this extensive dotted snare,
For most the oculist doth prize
The thing that spoils my dear's sweet eyes
Her dotted veil.

calities, notably California, and some
Of the more southern and western
states will enjoy decided natural ad-
vantages over all the beet-producing
countries of Europe. Four elements
enter into the competition-climate
cost and fertility of land, cost of la
Dor and the effective economy of the
machinery and methods of cultiva-
tion and sugar manufacture. In all
but one-cost of labor-the United
States has the advantage. An Eng
lish correspondent shows that whereas
beet growing in Germany, notwith-
standing the cheapness of labor, costs
on an average of $50 per acre, in Cali
fornia, in spite of high wages, the net
cost does not exceed $l7 per acre, a
difference Of S33 per acre in favor of
the Pacific coast. Land is also
cheaper, and the California farmer
works rich virgin soil, while the Ger
man rival is restricted to old worn-out
land, which must be sustained by the
constant use Of fertilizers. These
facts awakened apprehension among
European economists and sugar pro-
ducers, and have greatly depressed
the movement in England to plant
| beets instead of wheat.

NOT so BAD AFTER ALL.
State Treasurer Phillips Says that South
Dakota IL D. X.

A telegram to the Minneapolis
Tribune states that Treasurer Phillips
feels jubilant over the condition of
South Dakota finances. His state
ment is as follows:
"Owing to the constitutional pro-
vision limiting the states debt to
81 ,O00, 900, and the rate as taxation to
? mills, the emptying of the treasury
seemed at first to cause some embar-
rassment. This has passed away and
there will be no further trouble what
ever, not only in meeting the states
obligations, but in paying all of the
appropriations in cash. The condition
which might have caused most en-
barrassment was the existence of $780,
200 In funding warrants, held by the
Chase National Bank, Of New York,
the Albany City Savings Bank, and
the Albany Savings Institution.
These were due in December, and
Taylor had collected sufficient money
to pay them. The three inititutions
have promptly extended the warrants
one year.
This leaves us in excellent shape.
The total expenditures between now
and July lst amount to $265, 900, $i75,-
600 under the general appropriation
bill and $4,000 for the session of the
legislature and incidental expenses.
Against this the state has cash re-
sources amounting to. $3.50, 900. There
are outstanding in uncollected taxes
$560,0OO. The counties will pay for
the maintenance of the insane during
the time specified 100000. The in
surance companies will pay $4,000,
and from other sources we shall get
$4,000, making total of $650,0OO
There was on hand $4,000 in cash left
by Taylor. We have therefore $780,
600 to pay $3.50, 1000 with. A law just
passed permits the treasurer to float
anticipation warrants against the
assessed but uncollected taxes and for
the amount required we have offers
from many sources. The legislature
will also undoubtedly authorize the
levy Of deficiency tax to wipe out the
default. The state is therefore in the
very best financial condition and there
will hereafter be plenty of money for
the demand"
