HIS LAUGH WAS HIS FORTUNE.

ssEyer hear of a man who made a fortune out of his laugh?" said a guest at the St. Charles as he looked over the register. 'I have heard of girls whose faces were their fortunes, but I knew a man whose laugh was positively his fortune. That man Sam B. .Adams-on the register there reminds me of man who made a for tune out of his laugh. His name was John D. Adams, and he was the fath- CT of Sam, the gentleman registered there. John D. Adams was typical steamboatman of Arkansas, and in addition to his steaInboating was planter of extensive interests, and was connected with other business enterprises He was the first man to run steamboat up the Arkansas river, and his name in that state to- day is a synonym for geniality, cour- age and business success. He was very successful, and his friends used to attribute his success to his won drous laugh. It was not boistrous, yet loud, and was so musical and jolly that one could imagine old Kris Kringle was personi6ed in him. 9th
 
 laugh got him all the government mail contracts. He would go to Washington, get acquainted with the man who had charge of the contracts, and he, like all of Adams's new ac- uuaintances, would soon come under the infection of his magnetic laugh, and form a genuine admiration for the grizzled old steamboatman He was known at the hotel by everybody and was pointed out for years by a negro porter, to whom he once gave a $5 gold piece as a tip in a it of jollifcation over the closing of a big contract in his favor.
 Amazing tales were told of his courage and his steamboat eXperi- ences. On one occasion when an ac- cident happened to his boat and the passengers became panicstricken, he calmed them as if by magic by call ing them children, and laughing at their fears-H1is famous laugh impel- ling confidence and mirth by it's very melody ard jollity. He even used his laugh when very much angered; but it was of a different character, and death lurked behind it.

FARMING.
TIE Use of the Dynamo on Hi
Country Farms,

Country Farms.
Great strides are being made in Ger.
many in the way of applying machinery
to many lines of industry.
But perhaps most remarkable of all is
the application of dynamos to agricul.
ture, supplying the three elements of
heat, light and productive energy, as
well as labor.
On one of the new electric farms a
turbine drives a dynamo which lights
the barns, yards and dwellings, and fur
nishes a current of low tension to work
pumps, run straw cutter, lathe, grind
stone, large handsaw and thrashing ma.
chine. One machinist attends to the
entire plant, which experience proves
has reduced the expenses of the farm | n
considerable degree.
This new method Of farming has al
ready displaced labor to an extent that
Is making farm laborers very anxious.
Not only does the electric farmer"
compete disastrously with the old.
timer, but the electricity so stimulates
the growth of his crops by night that he
reaps a double advantage.
When II reflects to what a vast ex.
tent Germany is agricultural the intro
duction of an invention that is to make
thousands of farm laborers unneces-
sary seems fraught with serious conse.
