1T il not true" says President With
am, "that farmers cannot buy goods
nor borrow money unless they plant
cotton. The farmer who plants corn,
OatS. wheat, peas, potatnes, cane and
hay is the man who comes first with us
lenders of money another year.
"In all parts Of the United States
have seen OF read of there is nnprece-
dentcd prosperity except in the cotton
belt. Railroads can hardly move the
freights. Mills and manufactures are
working night and day, banks in all
the cities are loaded up with more
money than they have had since
the civil war. Not SO in country banks
through this section, because there has
been so much cotton raised that the
world can't use over One-half of the
product, hence the low price. They
forget that other countries are now
raising cotton which Il few years ago
knew nothing Of the plant. If this
were not true they cannot compete
with Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana,
which States can raise the cotton ut
three cents per pound and make mon
ey.
Next year will be one demanding
closer economy. good Judgment and
more personal elbow grease. Pursue
this line and he banks and merchants

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if YOU
can not get better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits mny
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
Your make is the best?
II both articles are brought promi-
ncntly before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and tho pu blio will
very quickly pass Judgment on them
and use ouly the better one.

The Alpine Good Night.

Among the lofty mountains and ele-
waited valleys Of switzerland the Alpine
horn has another use besides that of
sounding the farfamed "Ranz des
Naches, " or COW song, and this is of a
very solemn and impressive nature.
When the sun has set in the valley
and the snowy SUBMITS of the noun
tains CLEAN with golden light, the herds
man who dwells upon the highest haE-
liable spot takes his horn and pro-
nounces clearly and loudly through it,
as through a speaking trumpet, Praise
the Lord God. AS soon as the sound is
heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same words.
This frequently lasts quarter of an
hour, and the call resounds from all the
mountains and rocky cliffs around.
When silence again reigns, the herds
men kneel and pray with uncovered
heads. Meantime it has become quite
dark. Good nightu' at last calls the
highest herdsman through his horn.
The words resound from all the noun
tains, the horns of the herdsmen and
the cliffs, and the mountaineers then re-
tire to their dwellings. -Pittsburg Dis

OLD SMOKESTACKS.
An Article For Which There Is Always
Demand.

Among the very great variety OF
things that may be bought at second
hand are smokestacks of iron or of
steel. 1t may be that an establishment
puts in bigger boiler and wants big
ger stack. If it is using a stee! or an
iron stack, the old one is taken down
carefully and new one set up. The old
stack may be sold to dealer in second
hand boilers and machinery, or the
owner may keep it and sell it himself
to somebody that wants a secondhand
smokestack. If it is sold to dealer, he
may remove it to his own yard, or ii
may be that the original owner keeps it
on his premises until the dealer has
sold it. a manufacturer may move from
one place to another and sell the old
plant, or parts of it. Here would be Il
secondhand smokestack. Secondhand
stacks are bought by various users. 1t
may be that the smokestack of an estab
lishment is worn out and that the boiler
is not and that secondhand stack
would last out the life of the boiler. In
such case the user would get Il second
hand stack if he could find one suitable.
Secondhand stacks may be used with
various temporary plants set up by con-
tractors and others. A smokestack may
be blown down in a windstorm and the
user supply tho place of it with one
bought secondhand.
A steel or iron stack costs about half
as much as brick stack A secondhand
iron stack costs about half as much as a
new one Stacks of metal are made now
usually of steel. The steel used costs
now less than wrought iron. There is
an increasing use of steel instead of
brick stacks. Steel stacks up to and Z
feet in diameter would be classed as
portable stacks; larger stacks would be
of more or less permanent chiA%cter,
Steel smokestacks are now made up to
IS feet in diameter Very large smoke
stacks may be lined with brick.
Secondhand smokestacks up to 2 feet
in diameter are likely to be found i'll

One Woman's Cheerful Method of Deny

Men have something to learn from
women in the art of warding off
"touches" for coin. Women respond to
sand times, but they are scientific in
their refusals. A Washington woman

other morning with much done over
story about a persistent and threatening
dressmaker and the usual request for
the loan-'pay it back tomorrow, Ger
tain''-of So.
"Why, my dear, certainly" was the
pleasant response to her carefully re-
hearsed little yarn. "You poor thing,
you! Just wait till I run up stairs and
get my purse.
She ran up stairs. The male head of
the house happened to be in the room
where she kept her purse. He saw her
dig the purse out of chitfonier drawer
and deliberately remove wad of bills
from it, leaving about 81 cents in silver
and copper in the change receptacle.
The man was mean enough to lean over
the stair railing when his wife Went
down stairs to the parlor with her fiat
tened pocketbook in her hand.

heard her say, "but l really thought l
had the money. 1 find, though, that
