Why He Quit.

A professional gentleman, who was
accustomed to take his morning glass,
stepped into a saloon, and going up TO
the bar called for whisky. A seedy
individual stepped up to him and said:
81 say, squire, can't you ask an un-
fortunate fellow to join You p
He was annoyed by the mans famil-
iarity, and roughly told him
81 am not in the habit of drinking
with tramps"
The tramp replied
you need not be so cranky and
high-minded, my friend. ] venture
to say that am Of just as good fam
lily as you are, nave just as good an
education, and before took 10 drink
was just as resi- ectable as you are.
What is more, always knew how to
act the gentleman. Take my word
for 1t, you stick to John BarleycOrn
and be will bring you to just the same
place | am. )"
Struck with his words, the gentle
man set down his glass and turned to
look at him. His eyes were bloodsbot,
his face bloated, his boots mismated,
his clothing filthy. Then was it
drinking that made you like this 2"
"Yes, it was, and it will bring you
to the same if you stick to it.
Picking up his untouched glass, he
poured the contents upon the floor
and said:
"Then it's time quit, and left the
saloon never 10 enter it again.

The young lady in the sable cloak

fectly lovely in acknowledging the re-

"No, ma am" said the clerk, as he
handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy
lines beneath the words, and said
"It's awfully good Of you to let me
do that. 1t will please Charlie 50

Don't mention it. said the clerk.
"If you would like, will put few

Prepared to Swim the Ditch.

A short time ago a man put in his
appearance in an Oregon city and se-
cured a stopping place in the country
a short distance from town. He stat
ed he was from Chicago and had come
to Oregon for his health. One morning
after he had been at his stopping place
a few days he asked farm hand how
far it was to the foot OF the mountain.
The distance did not look more than
two miles, and on receiving the reply
that it was fifteen miles he smiled and
said he would walk over and back be-
fore breakfast, and he believed it would
give him an appetite, and accordingly
set out across the bottom. After break
fast the farm hand and another man,
who was stopping at the place, started
out on horseback in the direction he
had taken. After they had gone about
three miles they came upon him taking
off his clothes and standing beside a
little ditch about three feet across,
which was running full of water. On
being asked what he meant, he said
that he had been fooled and was not
going to be fooled again. On being
told that they could not understand
what he meant, he replied: "Well, l
started out to walk over to that noun.
tain, thinking it was not more than
two miles distant, and have got fooled,
as 1t looks as far off as ever, and I'm
not going to be fooled again. | am
going to swim this ditch.

A Story of General Shelby.

An old comrade of General Joe
Shelby SAYS of him: Shelby was es-
sentially military. He loved the life.
It's dangers. labors, rough living and
brilliant successes suited him down to
the ground. If he bad been so placed
that all of his years could have been
spent in war he would have been the
happiest man on earth. To him the
soldiers life was the happiest Of lives;
the soldiers death the death of deaths.
He was fond of his men, but he did
not spare them. In his four years of
campaigning many, very many OF them
were killed. He was not sentimental
about it. They took their chances,
he used to say. He exposed them to
no dangers that he did not share him.
self. He, too, took his chances.
HE was mOrbidly sensitive about
the conduct of his men-the more so
that they bore the reputation of'raid-
ers, which. it must be confessed, they
earned. Hard riding and fighting
make hard appetite, and they were
no respecters of other peoples pigs
and poultry. Once when we were half
starved in Arkansas, Shelby and |
rode down to the White river to water
our horses. A detachment of the
troops was doing the same thing just
below us. Among them was Dick
Gentry, now Of Kansas City. He was
a gallant private and a good fellow.
Slung across his saddle was sack,
carefully tied and bleeding at one
end.
"'What you got there2' demanded
Shelby.
"'Been havin' my clothes washed,
said Gentry.
"'Youd better get back to camp,
said the General, or your clothes will
bleed to death.
Gentry was put in the guard-house.
That night quarter of fresh pork
found its way to Shelby's tent. Il
haven't on idea where this came from,
he said, as he looked at it hungrily,
but 60 round 10 the guard-house,
orderly, and tell EN- to turn Gentry
loose. There's no use in keeping a
man shut up all of his life for a little
laundry "

His Was Only a Dream.

Once man had 1900 bushels OF
wheat which he sold, not to a single
merchant, but to 1900 different deal
ers. A few of these paid him cash,
but far the greater number said 1t was
not convenient then, but would pay
later. A few months passed and the
man S bank account ran low. "How
is this ?" he said. my 1900 bushels
of wheat should have kept me in afiiu-
ence till another crop Is raised, but 10 J
I have parted with the grain and have
in its stead only large amount OF
small accounts, so small and numer-
Gus and scattering that | cannot get
around and collect fast enough 10 pay
expenses" So he posted a public
notice, and asked all who owed him to
come and pay quickly. But only a
few came. The rest said F: Mine IS
only a little matter and | will 90 and
pay one of these days" forgetting that
though each account was very small,
when all were put together 1t meant a
very large sum to the man. Things
went on thus till the man got to feel
ing so badly and rolled and tossed
about so in bis efforts to collect that he
fell out of bed and awoke, and quickly
running to the granary found his 800
bushels of grain still safe. He had
only been dreaming and had not sold
his wheat at all.
MoRAL-The next day the man
went to the publisher Of the country
paper and said: Here, cir, is the pay
for your paper, and when next year .
subscription is due you can depend
upon me to pay promptly. | stood
in the position Of the editor last night
and know now how it feels to have
ones hard-earned dollars scattered
over the country in small accounts.
And the editor smiled and said: "Hos
strange. You are the first man who
ever seemed to look at this mattel
from my standpoint.
Is your subscription due?

About Rubber.

Since the bicycle became ''indispen-
sable to every family" more interest is
taken in the production and manufac-
ture of rubber than ever before. Crude
rubber comes from Asia, Africa and
Central America, bat The finest grades
those always used for the best bicy-
Gle tires-are brought from the forests
of the Para district of Brazil. Fine
Para" brings so cents pound, and
comes in big biscuits" weighing from
20 to IS pounds each. Lower grades
of South American and African rubber
are sold for so, 40 and 80 cents,
The dark swamps and jungles of
Para, where the rubber tree is found
in its greatest luxuriance, are reached
by Journey up the Amazon. In these
forests lurk the germs of malignant
malarial fevers, which claim thousands
of victims among the rubber gather
ers, weakened, as they usually are, by
exposure, poor food and rum, of which
last enormous quantities are sent to the
workers. Large numbers of men an
nually seek the forests, in spite of ter
rible conditions, and are not infre-
quently accompanied by their wives,
who 90 to share the fate of their hus-
bands.
The Para rubber is believed to owe
its excellence in part to the methods OF
gathering and curing followed in that
region. The rubber sap from the big
trees is received in buckets, much IN
the same way that maple sap is pro-
cured in this country. Then the gath
erers take long stakes of hard wood
about an inch in diameter and pointed
at the end and dip them again and
again into the sap buckets. After each
dipping the stakes are held over fires
until the successive films of rubber
solidifv around them. Thus each of
the big "biscuits" is the result of hum
dreds and hundreds of slow dipplngs.
A recent writer says that when lot
of crude rubber is taken to the rubber
mill it is first thrown into vats OF hot
water to be steamed and softened for
two or three hours. Then after being
sawed into small chunks, it Is thrown
into the washers, which are massive
iron rolls with corrugated surfaces.
As a load of rubber is caught between
the two turning surfaces streams OF
water play down into it from above,
washing out all sand and impurities.
Five minutes in the washers transforms
a basketful Of rubber chunks into a
sheet of rubber ten or twelve feet long
and several feet wide, which is carried
to the drying-roOm aud hung on racks
till the moisture has thoroughly evap-
grated. After being left for a long
period in the drying-room the rubber
sheets are taken back to the mill-room,
crushed between heavier rollers, aud
finally compounded with the various
powdered substances necessary for
proper vulcanization.

I ONLY ASK.

| ask not, Lord, for wealth that |
Might live in ease and free from pain,
/ only ask
For charity, that eases grief
And heals the pain.
To raise the fallen,
Aid the weak, oppressed,
| only ask,
To give unto the sin-sick soul,
Not stone, but bread.
For grace to walk upright,
And SO to live,
only ask
For faith to keep thy laws,
And in Eternal Life to live.
For hope that gives me joy,
Inspires my soul,
| only ask
For Wisdom's touch to guide my feet
Alright,
To heavenly goal.
For strength that might bear,
My cross in life,
only ask
For patience to await thy summons, Lord,
To free me from the strife.

Hiram Darts Refusal.

When old Hiram Dart was IN MS
seventy-ffth year, the faithful old wife
who had been his companion for full
half century sickened and died, and
to the surprise and amusement OF his
rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth
in search of another wife before Han
nah, his first spouse, had been SIX weeks
in her grave.
He made no secret of the fact that
he was ain the market and seemed
surprised that the bidders were so few.
He attributed this fact to the general
lack of taste and judgment in the
"wimmen folks" of the present day.
"They'r fnicky lot anyhow, said
old Hiram, IAN it comes o this fool
new wimmen idee."
One day old Hiram drove by a
neighbor's house all rugged up" in his
Sunday best and with a blue satin
necktie forming marked contrast to
the big red geranium in his buttonhOle.
He tarried for a moment at his neigh
bor's gate and frankly confessed that
he was "goin a sparkin.'
The object of this amatory visitation
was the Widow Breese, who lived
lover Hebron way" and with whom
old Hiram was wholly unacquainted.
Some one had, in a spirit of either
malice or mischief, made old Hiram
believe that the Widow Breese, robust,
weil-to-do woman of about 60, would
be inclined to look with favor on Hi
rams suit.
"An' it won't be no harm done to go
an see her, anyway, said Hiram, as he
drove away.
1t was nearly dark when Hiram re-
appeared, far less buoyant than when
he went away. His neighbor was on
the lookout, and, hailing the old man,
he said
"Well, Uncle Hiram, did the Widow
Breese refuse you?"
Not much she didn't, retorted Hi
ram spiritedly. 81 refused her.
"You refused her? Why, what do
you mean, Uncle Hiram ?"
Mean jess what l say. l refused
the old-old-cattymountT
why, Uncle Hiram, is that re-
spectful way to speak about lady ?"
"a LADY, Humph, great lady old
Jane Breese Isl You call a woman
lady who sails into feller with
broomstick an calls i'm an ole fool an
sich like names ?"
Did Mrs. Breese do that ?"
"She jess did. l guess she'd got
wind that l was comm, for I'd hardly
interdoosed myself and begun to state
my bizness when she flew at me with
a broomst.ck an drenched me with hot
water an sicked her dog on me an jaw
ed the worst ever heerd. l jess wait
ed till she got through, and then | up
an told her pint blank that | wouldn't
have her if she was the last woman on
top of the earth. Yes, sir; | refused
her jess that pint blank.
