There were just Il dozen boys in the
gang. The oldest of them was not
over fourteen, the youngest was about
ten.
They tumbled over each other In a
heap, rushing into the store of james
NJ. Kane at Fort Wayne, Ind. In
chorus they asked for a base ball. The
store-keeper sized them up and got out
Il 25-cent ball. James Kane has lived
in Fort Wayne for quite a number OF
years. He has store that is known
all around that neighborhod, and does
good business in notions, fancy and
sporting goods. His experience led him
to believe that he had sized up the
boys and judged correctly what was
wanted.
But he was surprised when the small
lest fellow of the group piped out: I'VE
want better ball than that. We want
q good league ball.
Kane got down the $1.50 balls. which
were eagerly handled by the sports.
who took three Spalding balls. Kane
thought they We're guying him. but not
bit of it, The next thing they want
ed was some bats. And they wanted
the best bats. Then they bought
bases. Then they bought masks. And
so they went on until they had secured
a complete baseball outfit, which cost
them $500. Kane was puzzled. But
the little fellows were not. The small
est chap in the crowd coughed up the
money and paid the $3.50 like a man.
The stOre-keeper Kane staggered
back against the showcase Never In
all his business career had he seen a
day, as he tells the story, when mere
babies, you might say, could at one
time rake up $3.50 for base balls, or
any other kind Of sporting goods"

CORN EXPORTS EXPAND.
An Increase of Many Hundred Per Cent
During Prosperity.

An Increase of Many Hundred Per Cent
Durin < Prosperity.
Corn is having splendid demand in
many European markets. Its eXporta-
ton has been especially fostered by the
Mckinley administration and there is
reason to believe that what is being
sent out now is but a beginning to what
will be exported few years hence. if
the present policies of the government
are persisted in. The exports of corn
and corn meal during 1895 fiscal year,
and the fiscal year ending June Both,
1900, compare as follows:
1895. 1900

1t is doubtful if any single article of
export shows a better gain.
Glucose is a direct product of corn.
Not to mention the domestic consump-
ton, which is surprisingly large. there
is rapidly developing export business,
which BODIES good for the corn pro-
ducers. How this export business has
developed under the Republican admin
istration of affairs this table strikingly
shows:

What is most encouraging is that the

can prosperity are nearly equal to those
of four years of Democratic adversely.

and offered to trade wheat for it, as he
had done the year before.

He starts from the centre Of the city with
a carload of women There are all

the common laborer dressed in prints with
a dollar hat on her head, TO the woman

stops and he is off holding out his hand

the woman with the baby and paroles
gets UP to leave, but the conductor has
something to interest him on the opposite
side Of the street and he does not see her
until she is nearly OFF the car, but he
pulls the bell rope just as one foot
reaches the ground and looks complacent-
ly back at her gathering her parcels out
of the mud. The poorly dressed woman
signals for the nearby crossing, but the
conductor pulls the rope when the car
is in the middle Of the street and Of
course the car comes 10 a standstiIl at
the far crossing. Does he get off to
help her? Not he; but he stands with
the bell rope in his hand ready to pull as
quickly as she reaches the ground. The
well dressed woman'S turn now comes.
She has several large parcels and a child
to take care of. The conductor is off the
car in a jiffy; helps the child and mother
off and carries the former to the walk
before the car proceeds. When the old
lady arises he helps her down the steps
without leaving the car, and gives tbs
rope a vicious jerk a moment later.

Suthin' Was Wrong

He had been in the city but a few days.
He was from the south, and this was his
first visit His girl cousin, at whose home
he was staying, had enveigled him into
accompanying her shopping. While she
was looking at some goods he stood be-
side her, but directly over the hot air reg
lister.
A flush crept over his face and his hands
twitched nervously. He stood first on one
loot and then on the other. while his
eyes nearly burst from their sockets.
At last he could stand it no longer.
Bending toward her he said, in hoarse
whisper:

home! There's suthin' wrong There
suthin wrong with me, sure. I feel sutf-

The Enchanter.

The sails we see on the ocean
Are as white as sails can be,
But never a sail in the harbOr
Is as white as the sails at sea.
The mountain wears robes of splendor
Only when seen from afar,
And the sail loses all its whiteness
Inside the harbOr bar.
OH distance, thou dear enchanter!
Hide with thy magic veil
The sheen of the far-off mountain
The CLEAN Of the far-off sail.
