Two Fig Customers.

Frank Cox, salesman employed by the George H. Dittmann Shoe Co.,. was probably the first person in St. Louis to feel the effect of Mckinley s election.
 Those who made him feel it were a close second.
 Mir. Cox is a Democrat and worked aud voted for Bryan.
 His employers favored Mckinley They were elated over the result and celebrated it by discharging Cox and applying insulting and opprobrious terms to men who held views con- trary to theirs.
 Then couple of Democratic eusto- mers did little celebrating by ean- ceiling orders they had placed with the house.
 Mir. Cox tells thestory in this wise: 'I had been employed by the Ditt- mann Shoe Co. for fifteen months 9 a salesman. My contract has until January to run. This morning 1 re ported for business as usual. As entered the office William Dittmann, secretary of the company, approached me. He had copy of the Globe Democrat in his hand and he was indignant. He slammed the paper down on my desk, and hammering on the rooster pictures, said:
 Here, you go eat these birds; you and your - hoodlums You, and every man who voted for Bryan arc - fools. You are the man who led that hoodlum parade Saturday You can take your -- hoodlums and get out of my house.
 ''I told Dittmanh l had right tc vote for whom pleased and parade for whom l pleased, and expected to keep right on doing it.
 Mir. Graham, of Denton, Texas who owns seven big stores in his State, heard what Dittmann said tc me, and it made him hot. He had just given an order for big bill He walked up to Dittmann and said I am one of those ~ hoodlums too. Cancel my order. You are toe nice for Democratic hoodlum to trade with
 Later Mir. Shudder, of Shudder X Smith, Tennessee merchants, went to Dittmann and said practically the same thing. He canceled au order he had given, and said he would hunt up house where Democratic hoodlums' were thought more of
 'I can live without Dittmann, and am not particularly sorry to lost my place, but l intend to see if there is any law to cover his case. Post Dispatch.

ton. After many years of investigation
and observation | can give but an or
acular answer. If pecuniary return be
the chief motive for sending a girl to
college, | should say the venture is as
risky as any other business investment.
The necessary expenses at woman's
college are about $500 year. The
charges for board and tuition at Vassar
and Wellesley are $500 year; at Smith
and Bryn Mawr. where there is greater
variety in the accommodations, the
average price is about the same. One
hundred dollars is a reasonable sum for

STOCK.

Many calf keeps poor because lice
are eating it up. Have you examined
yours? A kerosine emulsion, we'll ap-
piled, will kill vermin on any stock.
If the animal is ready and the pric Q
good, sell it. II you wait longer that
this good price become what you think
proper" one, the chances are that the
animal will not go up with it.
Feed the stock with view to getting
some good fertilizer, and you may be
pretty sure OF getting some profit from
the pork or beef. Be watching and work.
ing in all directions.
Sell all the stock ready for market be-
fore going into winter quarters and win
ter feeding. 1t will be folly to carry
over any it will not pay to feed for grain
as they will be none the better after
long months of care and feeding.
1t is calculated that one acre of clover
will produce 300 pounds of pork if
properly pastured with eight good,
thrifty growing shoats. 10 what other
way could it be made to pay better, and
how could pork be made more cheaply {?
Much more and very much better
class of live stock could be kept with
profit by the majority of our farmers,
and the system Of cropping and selling
off the grain, straw and hay and putting
back nothing is entirely wrong; it il
only question of time when farms thus
treated will not produce enough to pay
the taxes thereon, Not one reason can
be given why the breeding OF live stock
should not be encouraged.
Small farms near the cities can usual
ly be put to better use than growing
stock as the main business, but the fruit
grower or market gardener will be sur
prised to see how much stock he can run
in as a side issue il he really gives it his
attention. The stock will be an aid
rather than a detriment, consuming
much which would otherwise go to
waste, and providing much to enrich
the soil from which 30 much has been
taken.
II you have not succeeded in getting
an old animal ready for market on pas
ture, you can not do SO with profit any
other way. To stable it and feed it
grain would cost more than you would
gain, for its teeth and digestive appara.
tus are defective. Give it away. Bestow
your winter feed only upon young and
thrifty stock which can pay you good

HOW THE BODY GROWS.

A writer in the Leisure Hour says:
"The human body does not grow at an
equal rate in all parts. Roughly speak
ing, the head and neck from birth to
maturity double in length, the trunk in
creases three times. the arms increase
four times. the legs five times. And
these increases are not uniform. The
arm. for instance, doubles in length be-
fore the fifth year, and trebles before the
fourteenth; the hand doubles before the
seventh. and trebles at maturity; the
leg doubles in length before the third
year, and increases fourfold before the
twelfth; the thigh shows the greatest
increase in the body, being from five to
seven times what it was at birth. The
foot grows at only half the rate, being at
maturity three and half times what it
was at birth-in short, the thigh grows
more than the leg, and the leg more than
the foot. The foot is said to be as long
as the head is high, but that is only true
at about the tenth year, and after that
the head is the shorter. The foot can
be more easily compared with the hard
for it is generally as long as the circum-
ference of the fist"
