The quantity of gold it takes to make
dollar is surprising to one not accus-
toned to handling the metal. So much
dust as you can hold on the largest blade
of OF In 70 i.,x -, - c- rN
says ito San Francisco Chronicle. Whon
you consider that this small quantity is
the yield of thirty to forty pars, you can
imagine how little bulk there ia to the
gold saved In one pan. A coined rold
dollar is smaller than silver dime. Now,
If mine. can save in one pRn:u! of dirt
the tenth part of gold dollar he is maxi
ing fair wages.
Little Alfred LOTUS, aged five, of
Cold Springs. Ind, is the hero of q mis-
adventure which came near proving

over, anu it was so warm and nice he
went to sioep. When he awoke the
porker had become cold and stin, and

Here's q mathematical problem which
the boston Post observer heard bank
messenger putting TO a man of figures
the other day: "a banker found $40 bill.
AT home he gave 1t to his wife, who paid
the butcher in settlement Of his account.
The butcher paid IL 20 the farmer for a
calf, and the farmer paid it to the mer-
chant, who in tur,. paid it to the washer
woman, s::a she. owing ihe banker a note
cs S!", =Gs.. ;o tho banker AMI Dai,i the
note. The banker recognized the bill as
the ono he had fnnna and which up to
that time had paid $50 worth OF debt On
a careful examination he found the bill
was counterfeit" OF fcourse the problem
is. Who lost in the transaction?
Mr.. Sheppersop says: "Unless prices
advance materially by January Ia there
will, of necessity, be a very large reduc-
ton in the acreage OF the next cotton crop.
AS soon as snch an intended cnrtailment
OF acreage is perfectly evident, the spin
ners will undoubtedly buy SO freely as to
speedily absorb the G75, 900 bales Of indi-
Gated surplus and to advance prices to
much higher plane. In the meantime.
whether prices advance or not between
now and the time for making prepara-
tions for the new crop, tho experience of
this fall should make it perfectly clear to
southern farmers that they should next
year give less acreage to cotton and more
to food and forage crops" Therefore.
there is money to be made this very
winter by tho very resolution to reform.
Good intentions will bring two dividends
in 1905 If firmly held.
