BLIND AS A BAT.
But That Fact Wasn't Mentioned
When the Horse Was Sold.

But That Fact Wasn't Mentioned
When the Horse Was Sold.
David Harum was a good horse trad
er, but a recent transaction in horse
flesh which was made by well known
Memphian shows that there are others
who know how to get the long end Of
horse trade. Several weeks ago this
Memphis man saw a fine buggy horse,
which he thought he wanted. He To-
Gated the owner and asked the price.
Zone fifty" was the reply. After look
ing the animal over closely and trying
her speed he concluded it was a good
trade and without more ado wrote a
check for the amount. The next day
he found that the mare was as blind as
bat, but this did not hinder her speed
or detract from her general appear
ance. He drove the animal for several
weeks and succeeded in attracting the
admiration of another lover of horse
flesh, who made a proposal to pur-
chase.
"Well," said the Memphian, 81 gave
$3.50 for her, but 1 will let you have
her for $165"
The prospective owner looked the
animal over and concluded he had a
bargain. He paid over the money and
took the mare. When the animal was
unhitched, the first thing she did was
to run against post and then by way
of emphasizing the fact that she was
blind fell over a barrel. The next day
the buyer came back to the Memphian
with blood in his eye.
Colonel, you know that mare you
sold me-" he began. "Well, she's stone
blind"
81 know it." replied the colonel, with
an easy air.
"You didn't say anything to me
about It," said the purchaser, his face
reddening with anger.
"Well, I'll tell you," replied the colo
mel. "That fellow who sold her to me
didn't tell me about it, and just con-
cluded that he didn't want it known"
The newcomer took his medicine and
is now on the lookout for a friend on
whom he can even things.-Memphis

why So Many Young Men Fail,

"One trouble with many young men
who start out In business is they try to
do too many things at once" says Het-
ty Green. "The result is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about any one thing, and they natural
ly fail. The trouble with young men
who work on salaries is that they're
always afraid of doing more than
they're paid for. They don't enter into
their work with the right spirit. To
get on and be appreciated young man
must do more than he's paid to do.
When he does something that his en-
ployer has not thought Of, he shows
that he is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries to people
who will think of things for them.
The man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another is moth
ing more than a mere tool. Men who
can be relied upon are always in de-
mand. The scarcest thing in the world
today is thoroughly reliable man."
Amador ledger., 1900-08-17
Cards on the Cars.

Cards are not played as much on
the cars as they used to be-" said the
commercial traveller "a few years
ago it was common sight to see three
or four games, whist, euchre, poker or
seven up, going on In car, and wher-
ever four or five drummers were gath
cred together there was sure to be a
lively game Of draw in progress. Sub
urban trains were turned into whist
clubs, and morning and night the COM
muters were engaged in rubber.
"But all this has been changed. Now
adays it is the hardest thing In the
world to get up game of any kind in a
train. Ask stranger If he would like
to take hand at whist or euchre, and
he will freeze you with suspicious
look. And, what is worse, he is entire
ly justified in his suspicious.
'In the last ten years the railroads of
this country have been the harvest for
gamblers, bunko men and short card
experts. They have worked the field to
the limit, from New York to California
and from Vermont to Florida. They
have worked all kinds of fiimf1am
games, until now 1t is almost impossi-
BILE for man to flash q deck Of cards
in the smoking compartment of Pull
man without the atmosphere growing a
dozen degrees colder. A man who has
been bitten once doesn't care to have
the experience repeated. Rochester

Magnetic Clay.

Most kinds of clay contain a consid-
cradle proportion Of iron The red col
or of bricks, for example, is due to the
presence of oxides of iron. Whenever
an object nodded Of clay Is baked at
the temperature of the potter's furnace
in the presence Of magnetic field or
influence, the otherwise homogeneous
clay shows when cooled traces of mag
netism In definite direction. This in
herent magnetism is sufficient to show
the direction and give an idea as to the
intensity Of the magnetizing force that
acted while the clay was in the fur
mace.
This peculiar property has been used
to solve some questions of great inter-
est to scientific people IN general An
accurate knowledge of the direction of
the earth's magnetic force in early his
torical times has been deduced by sew
erai Italian physicists from study of
the traces of magnetism shown by Etru-
rian vases and other objects of clay
exhumed from old tombs. The con-
clusion reached is that the direction of
the earth's magnetic field has varied
very greatly in the 5000 or 5000 years
represented by the age of the objects
examined.

said Tennessee newspaper man, "and
