They Poster House Agents.

"You would not think that we came
much in contact with sentimentality in
our business, but | can assure you that
we do, ;" said very well known house
agent.
1--WE are often a great deal bothered
by people, most of whom are women,
who desire that we will hand over to
them the keys of houses empty just at
the time, III which they formerly lived
and in which some relative, dearly be-
loved and much mourned, died. | have
known even men who would take a
camp stool into house in this way and
sit for hours in the bare and deserted
rooms
"But the worst nuisance is when peo-
pie to whom we have let houses COM
plain that some former tenant posters
them with applications, in respect of
some particular birthday or otherwise
to sit for awhile i'll some room that is
hallowed by associations. The COM
plants as to such applications are by
no means rare in "a business OF the ex-
tent of ours, and the sentimental people
often turn very nasty when they are de-
MED.
Last summer lady committed sui
eide near very valuable country hos
telry a few miles out Of London, and
the proprietor Of the hostelry gave evil
dence to the effect that the lady often
called and asked that she might sit for
hours in silence i'll the same corner as
she and her husband, when the latter
was alive, used to occupy every Sunday
at tea time. This is just the sort of
ultrasentimental person we have pretty
commonly to deal with as the applicant
for the keys of empty houses. Pear

Agricultural Education.

Professor Henry p. Armsby, dean OF
the School of Agriculture of Pennsylva-
MIA State college, says that the agricul-
tural products of Pennsylvania exceed
the total iron ore, coal and oil products
of the state by S3.000,000. He also
makes a strong plea for agricultural ed
ucation. whether we like it or not, y
he says, 1--WE are face to face with new
problems and new conditions. In this
process of evolution, by which agricul-
ture is adjusting itself to its new envi-
ronment, as in every other process OF
evolution, the fittest will survive. The
community or the individual farmer
that can successfully readjust its agri-
culture to these new conditions Will
continue to prosper, while the farmer
or the community which fails to do this
will be borne down by forces as pitiless
and as irresistible as gravitation.

GOVERNORS, PAY.
From $1,000 to $4,000 Is the Range Of
Their Salaries.

lnefI o0iaTitbs
Three states of the 45 pay SO, 900 a
year each TO their chief executives, or
81, more than is paid cabinet
officer. These three states are New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
All three states have increased the COM
pensation of their governors within re-
cent years. Until the present constitu-
ton was amended some years ago the
salary of the governor Of New York was
$4,000, and the governors of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey received $4,000
each. At the same time the governor of
Nevada received $4,000 and the gov
ernor of Louisiana IS, 900.
In recent years there has been an at
tempt at adjustment of the salaries Of
many governors so that these may con-
form as far as possible to the impor-
lance of the duties of the Office. The
governor of Massachusetts, for whose
Office there is an election each year, for
merly received 50, 900 salary and now
gets IS, 600. The governor of Louisiana,
for whose Office there is an election ev-
cry fourth year. formerly received 49,
900 and now gets $4,000. The govern
or of Indiana gets So, 600 year for a
four years term, or 500, 600. The gov
ernor of Ohio gets So, 600 a year for a
two years term. Connecticut pays her
governor $4,000, and little Rhode Is
land pays $1,000
The New England states of the north
border are not very liberal in the COM
pensation of their governors. The gov
ernor of Maine gets 81, 500 year The
governor of New Hampshire receives
$4,000, and formerly got only $1,000.
The governor of Vermont has 81 800 a
year. Now 81, 800 is not large salary
for the governor of Il sovereign Ameri-
can state but it is as much as Vermont
pays or Oregon either But the govern
or of Oregon has four years term,
whereas the governor of Vermont has q
term Of only two years 1t has never
been established officially what, on 6
certain memorable occasion, the govern
| or of North Carolina said TO the govern
or of South Carolina. 1t is supposed by
many persons that this mysterious al
fusion bore some reference to liquid in
| toAlCuitS, DuI a lilOlS plOpdpiC tApldhd
ton of the conversation is, perhaps, t.
be found in the fact that the governor
of North Carolina, one of the oldes
and largest of the original states, get
only $4,000 salary, while the governor
of South Carolina, smaller and les
important commonwealth, receives So,
500. The governor of Georgia receives
$4,000; the governor of Florida, So, 500
Michigan pays "a governor "a, 900; Mon
tana, state of much smaller popula
ton, $4,000. In Kentucky the rate il
$4,000; in Missouri, $4,000; in Nebras
ka, 81, 900; in Kansas, SO, 900. Mary
land pays 81, 800; Texas, $4,000; Ida
no, $4,000; West Virginia. 50, 700 Del
aware and Utah have the same stand
ard of compensation for their govern
ors, So, 500. The governor of Alabam;
receives the same salary as the govern
or of Alaska. So, 0O0 Wisconsin pay

Does any one know wherefore the
heart OF woman clings to fat MANI"
asks waiter in transatlantic paper
In an article on the Fat Mans Apoth-
sosls. Nature scarcely offers any
oDJect IN the whole range of her at
fractions less heart stirring than he.
And yet / have seen wives, sweethearts
ana sisters-mothers, of course do not
count-who became the most abject
slaves, mere odalisques, in the presence
OF man whose 300 pounds of adipose
tissue was all compressed into paltry
teet inches, heels inclusive And
these were not i'll favored women in
point of culture either; far from it. /
can recall quite readily a score or so of
such amiable and devoted spouses who
were among the shrewdest, most pol
ltic and brainiest women / ever met,
and who certainly knew what they
liked and were well fitted by nature to
get it,
1t is time to idealize the fat man
to stop ridiculing him. The artist who
caricatures him in the comic weeklies,
the Photographer who pokes sly fun at
him III his daily column, the dude who
puts up his monocle at him with IA
smile, are not in it with the fat man
where the women are concerned. He
may not be their Adonis, nor yet their
Apollo But he is their beau ideal Of
ponderous and gentle magnanimity.
And he never stays single-he cannot.
He is not allowed to. If he-from mis-
taken public policy-tries to be an old
bachelor, some devoted woman Will sim
gle him out in his oleaginous obscurity
and fall TO worshiping him in wistful
way that his comfort loving heart can
not withstand And he marries her
And she straightway puts him up on a
pedestal and worships him to the end
And from this height he can afford to
look down benignly on Adonis and
Apollo, unwedded and unworshiped. "

A Humorous Tramp.

The tramp III real life, bereft of the
picturesque atmosphere with which the
comic papers surround him, is by 10
means hideous creature, but sub
urban resident claims to have discovered
one with "a vein of humor which would
bring Joy to the heart of the comic par
agrapher 1.-THE fellow stopped at my
residence, remarked the suburbanite,
"and asked for something to eat My
wife CHANGED to be in the kitchen, and
she told him he could have some dinner
if he would first saw some wood. This
the tramp agreed to do and repaired
with the saw to the wood shed. After
half an hour had elapsed and the hobo
had not come to claim his reward my
wife determined to investigate. Going
to the shed, she saw that both tramp and
saw had disappeared, while the wood
pile was undisturbed. A piece of dirty
paper pinned to the door caught her at
tention, and after considerable difficulty
she deciphered the message, which read
as follows: Just tell them that you saw
me, but you did not see me saw. -
