No Place for Extreme SeIf-DeniaI In
Large Cities, However.
There was, once an altruist who had
an important engagement in distant
town. Accordingly he went to the rail-
way station to buy his ticket; passen-
gers were not allowed to pay on the
train.
This man possessed an athletic and
sharp-eyed conscience, which he took
along with him because he never could
succeed in leaving it behind.
Arrived at the station he found sever
al other people waiting to buy tickets;
so he took his place at the end of the
line. When he got to the window he
was just about to ask for a ticket to
-, when he glanced over his shoulder
and saw another man waiting. Prefer
ring others to himself, the altruist
stepped aside, and the other man
bought his ticket. The altruist was
again about to buy when he observed a
woman waiting, and again made way
After her came a number of men,
women and children, who crowded so
closely together that the altruist could
not get into line again and had to GO to
the foot. Even here fresh people were
constantly coming in at the door and
he made way for each of them, and held
their bundles while they went up to
buy their tickets, so that night came
before he had got his own at all.
"But there is just time now," said the
altruist. So he made a dash for the
ticket window, but his conscience
caught him by the collar.
"How selfish" it said, severely. "You
are going to take the last chance; there
is another man who wants it." So the
other man bought the ticket, and the
window was closed for the night.
'sT'll manage better tomorrow said
the altruist. So the next day he came
early and headed the line. But just a:
the ticket window was opened the mar
behind him said: "Just let me ahead
won't you? I'm in a hurry" So the al

AUSTRIA'S GRAIN CROP.
American Wheat Being Imported in
Quantity by Way of Hamburg.
Large Purchase Also Made Through tho
Vienna Produce Exchange-A Report
Prepared by Frank III. Hitchcock,
Chief of the Section OF Markets.

WASHINGTON, Nov. L-Secretary
Wilson, of the department Of agricul-
ture, has issued a report, prepared un-
der his direction by Frank II. Hitch
cock, chief the section of foreign mar
kets, that gives some interesting facts
relative to the present wheat shortage
in Austria-Hungary and the consequent
importation into that country of Amer
lean grain. According to the United
States consul at Reichenberg, Austria,
an importation of 400 carloads OF
American wheat was made as early
as August, coming by way of Hamburg.
Other importations were reported,
among them one of Sc, 700 buShels~of
red winte- No. 2 and Kansas wheat,
purchased through the Vienna produce
exchange After recounting these un-
usual importations of the present sea-
son, the bulletin presents careful
review of the grain situation in
Austria-Hungary during the past ten
years. The crops of the present
season are remarkably small If the
official estimates quoted are fulfilled,
the combined wheat production of
Austria and Hungary will amount to
little more than 100, 600, 900 bushels, or
$4,000, 900 bushels short of the crop
harvested in 1896; which was estimated
at about 19O,OOO,0OO bushels. Aside
from the abnormal conditions of the
present year, annual statistics of pro-
duction, importation and expOrta-
ton during the decade make
it apparent that marked
change has occurred in the last few
years as regards the grain situation in
Austria Hungary. The tendency of
the various cereals has been towards
larger home consumption of the ma
tional product and consequent reduc-
ton of the surplus availa BILE for ship
ment to other lands. Most of the
cereals are now brought into the
country in larger quantities than they
are exported. Barley is the only
grain of which any considerable
amount continues to be shipped
abroad In respect to other cereals
the status of the monarchy is apparent
ly that of transition from an exporting
into an importing country. While it
| is hardly to be expected that these
| changed conditions will to any con-
siderable extent create on enlarged
demand for American cereals, the
| facts set forth are certainly
of interest as indicating the lessened
Importance of Austria-Hungary among
the countries with which the United
States is obliged to compete in the
grain marts of the world. The -four
trade with Brazil is large and increas-
| ing, reaching 11O,9S4 barrels per an
mum during 1S91-95. This increasing
hold upon the markets should be con-
trolled exclusively by United States

Dickens as Critic.

Charles Dickens had a great love for
music, and particularly enjoyed songs
and ballads, anything pathetic in the
strains of which quickly moved him.
He had his own ideas of the way in
which songs should be rendered, and
when occasion offered he made them
known. One day a member of his
household was singing ballad, when
suddenly the novelist, who had appar-
emily been deep in book at the farther
end of the room, got up, saying: You
don't make enough OF that word" He
seated himself at the piano and illus
trated his idea of the way in which the
word to which he referred should be
emphasized, and did not rise until the
phrase had been sung to his satisfac-
ton. After that whenever the song,
which became favorite with him, was
sung, he listened with his head little
to one side until he had made sure that
his instructions had not been forgotten
that time.-Y Youths Companion.

to the mouth of the slope. Charlci
Ziegler, superintendent of the mine,
and number of the miners started
down the slope to attempt to rescue

rescuers had to drop the hose and run
for their lives. Councilman Patrick

DOWN in FAIRY DELL

Little Dottie Daniels, wait a bit and tell
All the pretty tales you heard down in fairy
dell;
All the little whisperings and the trilling
words
Gargled in the cricket's throat and the
meadow birds.
Tell us how the birds themselves know the
days to sing,
Know the frosty winter days from the
days of spring;
How the leaves OF summertime, when the
summers old,
Turn from deepest green, my dear, to
crimson and TO gold.
Tell us nov the angels come, tripping
through the blue,
To tip their tiny dippers up brimming full
of dew;
And how the dewy showers look, twinkling
from the skies,
When a body takes them in through a
fairy's eyes.
Tell us. Dottie, did you see in your fairy
grot
All the eerie little caves that the imps
have got,
All the homes the bats have found, and
the naughty notes
That lodge at night in peoples eyes and
tickle peoples threats?
Did you see the spinning shop where the
spider sits
And weaves his gauzy web about and knits
and knits and knits-
See him wink his wicked eyes and lick his
fuzzy jaws,
All because a butterfly was coming toward
his claws?
What a host Of pretty sights must have
met your eyes,
When you dwelt in fairy dell under starry
skies!
