COMMENCE, TODAY

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state, 1t Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVfLLE ENQUIRER should also be
one OF the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire 4 as regu.
Lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford It, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconven:
ience Of writing letters. sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for US, just at this time, TO
secure the services Of large number OF intel.
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make IT
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of q single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to q clubmaker
but sends 1t direct to this office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENfY-FIYE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he is expected to pay us. Now 10 our
propositions:

HIRED HIM OVER AGA1N.-The fol.
lowing story from the St. Louis Globe
Democrat illustrates several things:
When J. w. Sherwood, now general
superintendent of the Glover Leaf, was
superintendent of the Big Four, he had
to discharge brakeman for the viola
ton of the rules. The man hung
about the Office, asking for a letter OF
recommendation. To get rid Of him,
Mr.. Sherwood told w. A. Sullivan,
who was his chief clerk, to write the
letter. This Mr.. Sullivan did. The
man went out, and returned in half
hour.
"What's the matter now? ?" asked
Mr.. Sherwood.
"The letter you gave me is all right,
isn't it?"
"Of course it is. That ought to get
you a job anywhere"
"Well, wish you would read this
letter of recommendation I've got, Mr..
Sherwood, and give me job"
Sherwood took the letter on which
his own name was hardly dry, read it
carefully, and remarked:
~ am well acquainted with Sher-
wood, and any one he recommends
must be all right. You report to the
trainmaster, and tell him to put you
to work."

ALL OXEN LOOKED ALIKE TO HIM.

An ambitious young lawyer paid bis
first visit to country court holding
its session not very far from New Or
leans not long since. He went to rep.
resent a big railroad in a suit brought
by a countryman to recover the value
of an OK which departed this life in a
vain attempt to hold up the limited
mail. The question before the court
was one of Identification, and the
countryman had testified that he knew
the OK by his color and the flesh
marks. The young lawyer rose, and
with dignity said:
eff your honor please, there can be
no question that this witness has sworn
falsely when he testified that an OK
can be recognized by his color. 1 was
a stenographer before I became law
yer, and for two days, your honor
drawing out his notebook), I have
taken a detailed description of every
OK that passed the hotel, and l am
prepared to swear as an expert that
all oxen look alike to me-"
"You are trifling with the dignity OF
this court, sir!" sternly said the judge,
ssand will fine"
"Hold on, judge" said the clerk.
"there hain't been but one yoke OF
oxen in this town in a week. Old
Man Henley's been a-haulin' wood
and the lawyers been counting the
oopoo ovap over and over "
Judgment for the plaintiff" said
the Judge, and the city lawyer, glad
to escape the wrath of his honor, took
his departure, sadder but wiser man.

TRUE HosPITAL1TY.-The Wash
ington Post prints "true story" told
by a retired army officer. The occur
renee happened in New Mexico. Co
lionel x. was making long march
and the provisions-wagons had gone
astray. He was hot and tired anC
hungry, when he met Major B., who
invited him home-presumably to some
fort-to breakfast.
The majors fortunes were at low
ebb, and when the breakfast was
brought on it proved to consist entire
" of rice-rice cooked in the wonder
full southern fashion, with every ker'
mel perfect. The hungry guest ate
spoonful. He detests rice. Then he
waited for second course.
"Have some rice colonel" said the
major, whom nothing ever disconcerts
quite as if the rice had but that mo-
ment appeared.
"No!" snapped the colonel. "I'm
Kentuckian, sir, and I don't eat rice
I don't eat rice, sir. Give me some
thing else."
"Why, certainly, colonel, certain
ly," said the host. "Try come of the
mustard ; it's very fine, sir, very fne.'

good thing to reduce acreage and di-
versify the crops, still statistics prove
that this has not been the reason for
depression in prices, for the visible
supply is now less than any year at
the same time since 1890, and this year
the worlds visible supply at one time
was under 100000 bales. I quote
the figures of The Financial Chronicle,
the highest authority, showing the
visible supply for the same week dur
ing the past six years
Visible supply, 1891, 1927 ,721 1892,
4,192, ,652; 1898, 4,163 ,024; 1894, A.
S99, ,O32; 1895, 3,9OS, 500; 1896, $685.
716; 1897, 3,s67,757.
And though the total European
stocks are from 100000 to 100000
bales less than at the same time for
several years, look at the price. By
holding off and keeping the contract
markets depressed, they know that on
account of your poverty, they will get
your cotton at the price they care to
fix. You see the visible supply is
less you see the European stocks are
less, and yet in the face of it all, the
price of cotton is less.
1t may take several years for you to
decide to protect yourselves but driV'
en- to desperation, as you will be, you
will do something, unless you are salts
fed to remain in the depths of power
ty, and bring your children up with
no more ambition.
Very respectfully,

p6r Every since the late cold snap
in Nevada the Indians there have been
selling jack rabbits in great numbers
and at low prices. 1t turns out that
they have not shot them, but that the
animals have been frozen to death.
The Indians prod around in the snow
for them, and pick them up by the
score frozen hard as stone. A hunter
saws that he saw hundreds of the lit
fellows huddled together in Kings
Canon just after the blizzard, and was
surprised that they should allow hin
to approach without stirring. de
blazed away into the bunch, but the
rabbits did not run, and when he came
up to them he found that they were
all frozen stiff.

"Well, Arabella, you'd never guess

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE.-Doctor

AN INTELLIGENT HoRsE.-Doctor
Watkins, of New Orleans, tells this
story: When he was studying veteri-
nary science it was customary for the
students to wear a distinctive badge.
One day while he was out walking
with some friends, and wearing his
badge, a horse limped toward them
and, singing him out as the only
wearer Of the badge in the party,
stuck it's nose against his breast and
held up it's foreleg. On examination
he found a large nail embedded in the
frog of the horses foot. The animal
had previously been under treatment
at the veterinary hospital.

WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN.-Prof. Sir

WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN.-Prof. Sir
William Turner, in an address at the
recent meeting of the British Associa'
ton for the Advancement of Science
in Toronto, reciSed some interesting
facts about the human brain. The
average brain weight in man, he said,
is from 40 to 80 ounces. In woman
the weight is from A to As ounces
A few men, including the great natu-
ralist, Cuvier, have had brains exceed
ing so ounces in weight; but equally
heavy brains have occasionally been
obtained from persons who had shown
no sign of intellectual eminence'
Among infant children the average
brain weight is for girls 10, and for
boys 11.67 ounces.

about the coming local election. Said
he: "Gibbs is a good man; he is capa-

sentative we need. He once saved my

THE SIN OF FRETTING.-There is
one sin which, it seems to me, is every
where and by everybody underestima.
ted, and quite too much overlooked in
valuation of character. 1t is the sin
of fretting. 1t is common as air, as
speech-so common that, unless it
rises above its usual monotone, we do
not even observe it. Watch any ordi.
nary coming together of people, and
see how many minutes it will be before
somebody frets-that is, makes more
or less complaining statements Of
something or other, which probably
every one in the room, or in the car,
or on the street corner, it may be,
knew before, and probably nobody can
help. Why say anything about itt
1t is cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry,
somebody has broken an appointment.
illcooked a meal stupidity or bad
faith somewhere has resulted in dis
comfort. There are plenty of things
to fret about. 1t is simply astonishing
how much annoyance may be found
in the course of every days living,
even of the simplest, if one keeps
sharp eye on that side of things
Even Holy Writ says we are prone to
"trouble as sparks fly upward" But
even to the sparks flying upward, in
the blackest of smoke there is q blue
sky above, and the less time they waste
on the road the sooner they will reach
lit. Fretting is all time wasted on the
road.-Helen Hunt in Womankind.
