THE LAST LAUGH.

There's another case Of the man who
laughs last" remarked practical Joker
the other day, pointing to turnip patch
in front of private residence.
II don't understand where the laugh
comes in,'' admitted the listener.
"Of course, you don't. but do, and the
laugh is on me. 1 thought I was playing
a joke on my friend. who occupies the
house. but he has the turnips and have to
buy mine. Some time ago he wanted grass
and clover seed to plant in front Of his
house. and like many other people he
thought the Agricultural Department sup
ply would make better showing than any
he could buy in a store. 1 volunteered to
get the seed. and 1 concluded l would put
up job on him..
And couldn't he tell the difference be-
tween seed for turnips and seed for
grass?" interrupted the hearer.
HE thought there was something about
the seed that was not exactly right, but.
not being farmer, he was not certain. I
told him the seed had been brought from
the Philippines, and he expected to see
something In the grass line different from
any he had ever seen before. Soon after
the seed had sprouted and the little leaves
showed themselves my friends suspicious
were aroused. and he made inquiries about
the neighborhood None Of his neighbors
could tell what was growing on his park
ing and I persisted in telling him what a
beautiful grass plot he would have some
day The time finally came when the tur-
nips could be seen, and my friend enjoyed
the Joke"
"And. of course, you also enjoyed it?'
the joker was asked.

FUEL FOR THE WINTER.
The Poor Find 1t a Hard Problem to
Solve.

Speaking of the disposition shown by 30
many persons to steal coal. prominent
dealer In that article remarked during
conversation with a Star reporter: The
cost Of living in this country Is much
greater than in the old world, and the mat
ter Of fuel alone is appalling to some poor
families. Aside from the cooking fuel.
which is a necessity all the year round. 1t
Is also imperative that the home, no matter
how small 1t Is, should be heated for nearly
four months in the year. To the rich man
this is simple thing. He learns that coal
Is needed, and all he does Is to order 1t in
any quantity he desires. To the man on a
salary it is not quite so easy. The coal bill
is hing which has to be provided for
in the yearly expenses, and it eats large
hole In any salary.
ITO many of the very poor the problem OF
how to provide necessary fuel Is bitter
one During the summer the deadly gaSO-
line is used, often with fatal effect to the
careless and ignorant. This material does
fairly well for cooking purposes. but when
the cold blasts Of winter come, then 1t be-
comes all-important to have something
more substantial in the way Of fuel. When
coal can be afforded 1t Is bought, but when
1t cannot be bought 1t must be had by a
laborious method. Out along the railway
tracks for three or four miles in every di-
rection may be seen from now until next
spring scores Of people. from the very
coal which have fallen from the cars in
transit. These people generally use big
basket. into which they drop the coal as
they find 1t. The cars come in sometimes
overloaded, and the motion Of the train
shakes of considerable coal as 1t goes
These particles are eagerly picked up by
the coal gatherers, to whom every bit SO
found is that much saved. 1t Is in the rail-
way yards. however. that the largest guam
titles are found. When the coal wagons are
being loaded from the cars there Is a con-
siderable quantity dropped upon the ground.
and there is always scramble for this
Sometimes the gatherers cluster in such
numbers that they interfere with the work
of unloading the, cars and then they are

ENCOURAGING THRIFT,
A Business Man Who Has Found That
1t Pays.

Il always have confidence In people who
save little money out Of their salaries"
said prominent western merchant, "and
1 do what I can to encourage habits of
thrift. employ about seventy-five clerks
IN my establishment to whom pay weekly
salaries ranging from $40 to $40. Naturally
enough more Of them get the former than
the latter amount, but they are none the
less worthy on that account. In the begin
ming. when I employed only two people,
lived pretty close to them, and l knew
how thriftless they could be when they
were not encouraged to be otherwise I
have discharged more clerks for that sort
OF thing than for any other cause. They
spent their salaries large or small as might
be, In reckless fashion and let debt accu-
mulate quite regardless Of the rights of
creditors. As my~busiuess increased and
with 1t my profits and my force of people 1
began to give the matter more study, and
in the end. when L felt able to be of ma
terial assistance in encouraging thrift and
honesty. l proposed a yearly recognition to
those who would save something out Of
their salaries. 1t small at first, but
was SO successful that today l haven't a
clerk who has not some kind Of bank
account and not one who willfully refuses
to pay his debts. When we get a new one
who refuses to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities afforded we let him go at the end Of
his first year.
MY present plan Is to double the savings
of all clerks who receive SO. $12 and s15 a
week; to add 25 per cent to all who receive
from SIS to s25, and 10 for those over s25.
A clerk on $15 a week or under cannot save
much but as a rule that class of clerks
have no one to maintain but themselves,
and II one cannot save more than $25 out of
his years labor. it is rather pleasant for
him to get $25 clear profit. Those who re-
ceive the larger amounts usually have fami-
lies and their savings are not large, but what
ever they are they are comfortably increas-
ed. One of my 81, 200 a year clerks, with a
wife and two small children, saved 800 last
year. and my check for hundred additional
was deposited to his account the day after
New Year. A young woman in charge of
department at 800 a year has almost
paid for a nice little cottage In the suburbs
out Of her extra, and so the list runs on
through every branch Of the business I
make 1t a condition that all current obliga.
tions must be met at the end Of the year 30
that the savings are actual net profit. Every
year some Of the clerks are not entitled to
any extra, but II this Is the result of sick
ness / assume a part or all of the doctors
bills. You may say 1t costs something for
me to do this. and 1 am under no obliga-
ton to do 1t, and you right. But I
have the best class of clerks In the city
and a result / have the best class Of
custom in the city, sand / guess 1 don't lose
enough by 1t to necessitate assignment
at an early date" and the merchant smiled
with very evident satisfaction.

Big Prices for Mules.

L have just returned from Kentucky"
said an official Of the Department of Jus
tice, "and they tell me In that state that
there Is great scarcity OF mules, probably
Que to the South African war. 1 remem-
Der that in one county I saw a notice
posted on the court house door saying that
at a certain date the writer would be In
town for the purpose of buying mules and
mule colts. He especially desired mule
colts. AT the time set there was a great
Influx Of farmers with mules and mule
colts. The purchasers bought all the mule
colts that were brought In, paying good
prices; in fact the best prices offered in
years. The calculation Of the buyers is
now on and that the colts will be worth
good money when they grow to their full
size"
