A Suggestion.

If you want TO sell list your prop
erty with the agent whom you
think will do business for you most
satisfactorily-one to whom peo-
pie come to buy-one who adver-
tises liberally, far and wide. for
customers, and treats them right
when they come, and one who will
show your property to the custom
ers.
If you want to buy, go to the
same one-he knows titles. You
want clear title.
If your property or life is not
insured you are taking chances
long ones Most of us can't af-
ford to take them If you can't,
go to the agent who knows the in
surance business and is response
BILE citizen. Don't fear you won't
get the lowest rate8-he don't let
business get away from him by
charging more than others that

Prayer Oh a sonhrette,

The people who live in stageland
have the strangest ways. / sat in a
box in one of the theaters one evening
and I could see into the wings on the
prompt" side of the stage. A comic
opera was on. and saw one Of the
leading women come and take her
stand there In the wings, waiting for
her cue. could see her quite plainly,
and / watched her with curiosity, Won
der1ng IL she were not cold In the tights
and thin gauze Of her scant costume.
The comedian began the long speech.
the last word Of which was to call her
on. She bowed her head. her lips moved,
and thrice she made the sign of the
cross with devoutness which left no
room for doubt that she was actually
praying. An instant later she had
frisked out on the stage with laugh
and dance step and wink that was
anything but pious. Nobody seeing
her could have dreamed that Just the
moment before she was actually pray
ing-praying for guidance in her work,
praying for strength to succeed, as
earnestly and with Just as much faith
and reverence as II she-Yell, as If she
were anything In the world but dane

A Hint to Letter Writers.

The practice Of writing private let.
tiers from the first 10 the third page Of
a letter sheet and then going back to
the second page Is matter Of taste,
but it will not do to follow that course
Of procedure in writing legal docu-
ments.
The New York courts have disallow-
ed the provisions of a will written in
this way. The testator wrote the will
on three sides of a folded paper, COM
mencing on the first page and eontinu-
ing on the third page, at the top Of
which was written second page" and
completing and signing the instrument
on page marked third page" which,
In fact, was the second page of the
sheet.
The court held that the will was not
signed at the physical end, as required
by the statute. The law does not con-
template going backward in order to
get forward, and the will was refused
probate. The New York court Of ap-
peals sustained the decision throwing
out this form of will.-Boston Herald.

The Kentuoky Mountaineer..

There are no more strikingly inter-
esting people in America than these
isolated mountaineers, who make their
among the Businesses of the eastern
section of the dark and bloody
ground" The waves Of civilization
which swept westward along the St.
Lawrence, the Erie canal and dozen
other routes seem to have found at this
point in the Appalachians an insur-
mountable barrier and rolled back,
leaving the descendants of the pioneers
of a century and half ago with many
Of the same habits and customs and
traditions dear to the hearts of their
forefathers.
A man who knows the whole country
as child does his first picture book
told me that If any person took the
trouble to go through copy Of Shakes
peare and pick out all the obsolete
words he would find nearly all Of them
in common use among these mountain
folk. In their phraseology we find
''holp" for help" 'hit" for "it" and
other words which, far from being cor
ruptions. are the pure old Anglo-Saxon.
Even their ballads are memories of
ages gone by, and know of one man
who. after riding 200 miles through the
mountains for the purpose, finally pick
ed up. from hearing the women sing
them, the. full 13 verses Of an old
Scotch ballad which proved to be iden-
teal with those recorded in diary
bearing the date 1e65.-1nternational

Value of consulship..

Young man." said a noted Illinois
congressman In the house restaurant
at the capitol, when you get a chance
to be a consul for the United States
select a smoky city, one where there
are many factory chimneys. Do not
try for the fashionable capitals. Leave
them for the ambassadors. Go where
the air is murky, for there business is
lively, and many consignment is sent
to the United States. This means fees,
and fees mean good income for the
consult
In the course Of his chat the con-
gresham made the general statement
that consuls who are making the most
money from fees are the quietest, most
unassuming, uncomplaining employees
OF the government. "They do not set
up claims for salary instead of fees"
he said. "oh, no; but like the wise
boy where the raspberries are thick
they let the world forget, so far as pos
sible, that they are on earth. Let q
consular Office be changed from the fee
to the salary system, and it at once
becomes alluring to voracious lot Of
aspirants. Some one finds out per-
haps that the political support of this
particular consul Is weak, and then in
1uence is used, and soon there is a
change.
zone Of the most profitable consul
ships Is that Of Liverpool. The salary
is $4,000, but the fees bring the emolu-
ments up to several times that amount,
and generation ago the income of the
consul at Liverpool was $4,000 year.
This has been reduced by abolishing
fees" ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

WHICH WOULD BE MASTER?

If Mr.. Bryan were to be elected presi-
dent it would be by grace of Boss Croker
and with the aid Of Tammany hall.
Without New York Mr., Bryan can not
by any possibility be elected and he can
not by any possibility capture New
York without the aid of Tammany
and its boss
Boss Croker has testified in open
court, or, to speak with more exactness,
IN an open session Of an investigating
committee, that he is in politics for
what he can make out Of it.
Mr.. Bryan's champions claim for him
the highest political ideals. They re.
gard him as single minded patriot
who would scorn to do evil that good
might come of it.
Mr.. Bryan and the unspeakable Boss
Croker have entered into political rela-
tions, the one with the other, and the
closeness of that relation may be in
ferred from the fact that Mr.. Bryan, at
Lincoln, Nebraska, felt called upon to
wire to Boss Croker at Kansas City the
friendly words; "My greetings to Tam
nanny on this anniversary of the ma
tion's birthday"
The crucial question is: In the event
of Mr.. Bryan's election to the presi-
dency which influence will be para
mount in the nations councils that of
Mr.. Bryan, the untutored idealist, or
that of Mr.. Croker, the grand sachem
Of the most corrup political organiza.
tion on earth?
What does the common experience of
mankind say of the results of co-part.
nerships between good Intentions, left
weak by want of worldly wisdom, and
the incarnate soul of mammon steeped
In craft and reinforced by perfected
mechanism for working in iniquity?
That combination was not fit to be
made and the voter can rest assured
that it was not made without guaran-
teeing beyond peradventure, in the
event of victory, to Tammany and it's
chief, all the spoil which inordinate
greed and low cunning could prompt
Boss Croker to demand.
