you are ignorant of. For instance. you
tell him you are stenographer or
stone mason or something of that kind,
and he will say: "You don't know any
thing about astronomical instruments
do you?" You confess your want of
knowledge, and he goes on:
"That's pity, great pity; because I
know of fellow who wants a man in
that line, and wants him bad: pays big
money, too, if you knew something
about astronomical clocks now, you
could make fortune"
l met man of this kind one day.
He knew another man who wanted
some one to do abstract work; that is
make out abstracts of land titles from
the records. Now 1 know little about
this line of business, but I thought
would bluff him out; so told him I
was one of the greatest abstractors in
the State of Texas; that my family
were all abstractors, and had been
for generatiOnsU might have added
that 1 had been in the penitentiary
for abstracting, but l didn't want to
overdo the thing), and that 1 would
like to have the job right away. Then
he began to get curious, and wanted to
know in what state [ had worked. AT.
ter he had found out that was famil-
lar with abstract work in every state
in the Union except Maine, he was sor-
ry to say that his friend lived in PEN
ObscOt, Maine, and of course if 1 was
not acquainted with the legal forms of
the state there was no chance for me,
Very sorry etc." and we parted.
A much more difficult man to deal
with is the inquisitive man. He wants
to know everything-where you were
born and raised, the quality and price
of land in that section, what your
grandmother died of, and what induced
your great-grandfather to belong to
the Episcopal Church. He is firmly
convinced that you are holding some
thing back, (which is perfectly true(
and wont be satisfied with anything
you tell him. The best thing to do is
to quit him and go somewhere else.
1t is an interesting experience, but 1
do not want to 60 through it very often.
1t is very trying to the nerves.-T., in

Ulu tuosuppIy otwater was short ened by taking out so many big canals, the amount of fwheat harvest ed by the Pimag aid Maricopas was considerable. True, they use crude methods of threshing, tramp out the grain with horses and goats, but it is thoroughly cleaned in the wind, after which the squaws wash the grain and dryit in the sunshine. The grain is cut with a knife or reaping hook, and the squaws go all over the valley to glean where
 the white men have harvested. By gleaning the Indians partially make
 up the loss of crops for lack of water .-En5eTprjse.

THE PREsEpEET AT ATLANTA.

Last Thursday, the first day of the Atlanta peace jubilee, was made memorable by the following utter anccs made in speech by Presi- dent Mckinley before Q joint session of the Georgia legislature:
 "It is an uncommon pleasure to be greeted by the people of the State of Georgia, and it affords me much qualification to rejoice with you over the signing of the treaty of peace with Spain. Sectional feeling no longer holds back the love we bear each other. The Union is once more the common atlas of our love and loyalty, our devotion and sac rifce. The old flag again waves over us in peace with new glories, which your sons and ours this year have added to it's folds. What cause we have for rejoicing, sad dened only by the fact that so many ofcur brave men fell on the field or sickened and died from the hard ships and exposure. and others re- turning, bring wounds and disease
 ''The memory of of the dead will be a precious legacy, and the dis abled will be the nations care. A nation which cares for It's disabled soldiers as we have always done will never lack defenders. The national cemeteries for those whC fell in battle, are proof that the dead, as well as the living, have our love, What an army of silent sentinels and with what loving cart their graves are kept. Every sol dier's grave made during our un- fortunate civil war is a tribute tC American valor, and while wher these graves were made, we differed widely about the future of thi; government, these differences were long ago settled by the arbitramen of arms-and the time has now come in the evolution of sentimen and feeling, under the providence of God, when in the spirit of fFater nity we should share with you il the care of. the graves of the Con federate soldiers.
 "The cordial feeling now happil, existing between the North anC South prompts this gracious act and fit needed further justification it is found in the gallantry to tn
 Union and flag, so conspicuousl, shown in the year just passed b, the sons and grandsons of thes dead. What 6 glorious futureawait

TIE home merchant is the man who gives you credit when you have no cash to buy the necessaries of life.

IT is reported that Roberts, re gently elected to congress from Utah, has three wives, and that on that account he will be refused seat in the house of representatives. Well if he really has three wives he has all the troubles he needs without trying to get into congress, where his cares would be increased.

THE attorney fer the defendant in a ease in an Indiana circut court served a notice that he would pres ent his argument in poetry. The attorneys for the plaintiff protested, and the court arose iR dignity and said he would not permit poeticaI arguments. The postieal lawyer insisted that there was no law for bidding him doing so and desired to proceed. The judge then post poned the case till Jan. 2. This only enables the rhymster to get his argument in better shape, and that he will present it there is no doubt. fit should happen to con- tain more truth than poetry" it may be an improvement on the ordinary rattling ofthe legal law.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge 80 often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp. Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in
relieving pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol.
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nec-
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free
by mail, upon receipt of three two
cent stamps to cover cost of postage
on the bottle. Mention INDEpEN-
DENT and send your address to DIR.
