LETT THE OPTION ALosn.

The story is going the rounds Of the
press that man who invested 500 in
wheat option and reinvested the
proceeds as wheat went up in price
last June was able to clean up the sum
Of $4,000. In the first place, we be-
lieve this yarn to be a lie out of whole
cloth; In the next place, il it were true,
the money will do him no good. for we
never knew case where a man had
sweetened up on lucky option that he
did not put 1t all back in the hole in
side of a year and usually twice as
much as his winnings with it. 1t is a
far safer business to go surety for
your neighbor, invest in a Colorado
gold mine or even buy gold brick
than to take whirl at options on the
board of trade. In the cases named
you know when you are through; with
options, never as long as money and
credit hold out.

The Scheme Failed.

In Under Three Flags In Cuba" by
Musgrave, the author tells how a
scheme was Matched to capture the no
torious General Weyler:
General Weyler walked nightly down
the Prado with only an aid and three
secret police sauntering behind. Some
Cubans often debated with me the
feasibility Of selling him there one
night, dragging him down the steps to
the Punta beach and shipping him
down the coast to Gomez, to be held as
hostage for all Cuban prisoners. This
would have been easy in the darkness
with launch and tug in the ot1ing
that could race the obsolete boats in
the harbor
We worked persisently in planning
this. The guards were to be overpow-
cred by sudden onslaught from the
rear, the general seized, pinioned and
embarked. Lack Of funds delayed the
attempt. Finally we chartered tug
in Key West, but the owner drew back
at the last, and just as another boat
was offered Weyler was recalled.

A WORKER AND THINKER.

If the American citizen is to be identi-
fed by some one national trait of char
acter more than any other we think it
should be as an inventor of labor saw
ing machinery. A very large proper
ton of all the labor saving machinery
in use in the world today is the result
of the dislike which the American citi-
zen has for hard manual labor. Give an
Irishman. German or an Englishman
a hard job of manual labor to perform
and each will dig away at it stolidly,
persistently and patiently, just as his
father always did; while an Amerl-
can, given the same work to do, will be
studying all the time he works to in
vent some other and easier way in
which to accomplish the same results,
and he generally succeeds. In en-
gineering problems-earth and rock ex-
cavating and handling. in all forms of
transportation, In mining and the
handling Of the products of the .mine,
in manufacturing of all kinds and in
the use of machinery for agricultural
purposes. the inventive genius of the
American has wrought out miracle
of economy and effectiveness 1t Is
difficult to estimate what the world
owes to this man who thinks while he
works

Little Jerry Solves a DimcuIt Prob-

A lady who takes great interest in
ragged-school work tells this excellent
anecdote, says Pearson's Weekly.
The other day the lesson was on the
peculiarities of our language. Words
that are pronounced alike and spelt
differently and words that are pro-
nounced differently and spelt alike
were discussed at length.
She explained the difference between
lead the metal and led the verb, and
the children quite understood.
Then she took the two words week"
and weak" She explained the differ
ence in the meaning and use, and then
called up little fellow, aged five, to use
the word, weak" in sentence.
The little fellow thought moment.
then answered.:
"a weak old woman"
The teacher nodded her approval.
"Now, jerry" she said, turning to-
another little boy, 'you take the word
week and use it in sentence"
Jerry thought a minute. ndJthen hes
too, replied:

DON'T TRY 1T.

We never knew a man who was n
patron of creamery or cheese factory
to make real success of watering or
skimming his milk. 1t looks as though
1t might be very easy thing to beat
the creamery man, but all known
methods Of SO doing are SO well under
stood that fraudulent practices are
soon detected. No amount of money
which man is likely to make, even
If he is successful for a time, is any
sort Of compensation for the awful
cheap and meachy feeling that comes
over him when he is found out. Don't
try it. 1t doesn't pay. The dirt of
such a trick will stick to you as long
as you live.

Washington,

He didn't mention just what the nd

Gus reason.
Thus they went on. Three or four:
times a day the male person of the
couple would dwell with great Gf care

existence in New York as compared
with nothing more'n Information,
Id call it, said he-in Washington,
and on each occasion she would fall in
line with a "ye-es" that reallyappeared
to proceed from q point not much
nearer her heart than her throat.
It SO happened that one evening not
long ago, as they sat by the front VIM
dows Of their abiding places in New
York-he dwelling with his usual in
sistence upon the joys of life on Man
haitian island as compared with "rust-
ing away in Washington, and she re-
plying with only an occasional "ye-es"
"a band of six or eight colofed mem
some of them with guitars and banjos
and mouth organs, wentby singing. and
playing. The two young persons from
Washington, man and wife, remained
very quiet until the last echo of the
music had died away far up the street.
Sounds like" the man started to
say, turning sheepishly to the wife OF
his bosom, and then he observed that
she had her handkerchief folded up
into wad about an inch In diameter,
and that she was dabbing first one eye
and then the other with the wad.
Sounds like Washington on summer
nights, doesn't it?" said the male per-
son, with sort of vacuous grin on his
face. "Kind o. restful and familiar,
eho"
very" replied the wife of his
bosom, continuing to dab at her eyes
with her wad of handkerchief.
Then they were silent for a little
while.
Come to think of it, Washington
isn't such a bad old place, after all,
is it?" said he, pulling at an ear, re-
flectively.
"No, it isn't" she replied, decisively.
"Dear old Washington"
| THAT'S right, said he. Dear old
Washington's what say too"
They were silent again for awhile.
Wouldn't mind going ack to the. lit-
tie old place, would you?" said he,
breaking the pause, and, looking out of
the window SO as not to have to face
her.
I'D just love to, and that's the
TRUTH" said she, shut we can't go back
yet awhile, can we?-you know how
everybody said we wouldn't stay more
than six weeks in New York, although
we declared we were going to remain
forever, and-and-they'd just guy US
awfully if we went back now, wouldn't
they?"
yep, that's fact" said the man,

One Of the most aggravating things

One Of the most aggravating things
connected with horticulture is the get
ting hold of trees not true to name.
We have made the unpleasant discov-
cry during the past year or two that
trees which we had bought In good
faith as Of certain varieties and which
have been carefully tended for four or
five years are not of the kinds ordered
and In some cases are utterly worth
less. This sort Of thing makes man
who Is not a good Christian feel as
though he would like to bury the seller
of such trees in the hole made by the
removal OF the fraud.

THE SAFEST INVESTMENT.

We are in receipt of two or three in
Gniries as to the best investment for a
little surplus money. There has never
been time in the past when so many
of the common people We're confronted
with this problem of how best to in
vest money. Sound securities, wheth-
err government, municipal or corporate,
ms well as farm loans, are all bearing a
very low rate of interest-from 21a to
8 per cent-and are not easy to get hold
of even at these low interest rates.
There are thousand and one wildcat
mining, Improvement and corporate
schemes inviting investment. Better
let all these alone. AS it looks. to us,
money invested in good land - now
mind, good land-land where grass will
grow, where the average rainfall is. not
less than so inches per annum for q Sc
ries Of years and where the climate is
not too rigorous = at prices ranging
from $50 to $50 per acre, according to
location, improvement, ETC., is the very
best and safest investment for surplus
savings which there is to be had today.
Such lands will pay more than 5 per
cent net on the Investment for a series
of years whether they are operated by
the owner or just leased. The security
is perfect, for the land can neither
blow away, burn up nor you be
dispossessed of it unless you mortgage
it. There are thousands of we'll i'm
proved and productive farms in the
western states which can be bought at
prices varying from $40 to $50 per
acre. Then there are other thousands
of acres in the newer sections which
can be got at SIS to $25 per acre-this
the best of land, but only slightly i'm
proved. Then there are large tracts of
land in state of nature, at present re-
mote from railways and markets,
which can be got at from S. to $40 per
acre. Either one of these three classes
of lands at the prices named is bet
| ter investment than what are known
as gilt edged 4 and per cent securi.
| ties. The probable advance in value of
| the two last named classes of land will
| of itself amount to more than good
| interest return on the investment. Put
that surplus into good piece Of land.

Augustus Van Wyck Of New York

His Lie Tor n Hand.

In a little town or village in Glouces-|
tershire there is q church which
contains the mortal remains Of one of
the old Crusaders. In moldering eff
figy he is depleted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold eloquence is imagedl
the form of his wife. 1t will be noticed
by even the casual observer that thel
female image is bereft Of one of the
hands, and the story runs that the
Crusader, while fighting in the east,
was made a prisoner of war andi
brought before Saladin, who, before
executing Judgment upon him, asked
him If there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave a newly welded!
wife, who would bitterly mourn his
loss.
'"Ihe love Of woman is as a fleeing,
BREATH" retorted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. well, then"
replied Saladin, II will promise on my
oath as a soldier that If this mans
wife win cut Off one of her hands and
send it to me l will set him free to-
go to her" By tedious and slow jour
neyings the message came, and She I'M

If you expect your wife to get bet
ter, dinner for Sunday than she does
for other days. you should help her in
the preparation of it on Saturday SO
that Sunday is not made the hardest
day of all the week for her. And
right here we will just remark that
while it is very pleasant to have your
friends call and see you on Sunday
afternoon, and all right, they should
have sense and courtesy enough to get
their own dinners before they come.
