A Business Parable.

Once farmer had 1900 bushels OF
wheat, which he sold not to single
grain merchant but to 1900 different
men a bushel each. A few of them
paid him in cash, but far the greater
number said it was not convenient;
they would pay later. "A few months
passed and the mans bank account
ran low. ssHow is this,'' he said,
''my 1900 bushels of grain should
have kept me in affiuence until anoth-
er crop is raised, but I have parted
with the grain and have but vast
number of accounts SO small and
scattered that cannot get round and
collect fast enough to pay expenses.
So he posted up public notice
and asked all them to pay him quick
ly. But few came. The rest said:
"Mine is only small matter and
will 60 and pay one of these days.
forgetting that though each account
was very small when all were put to-
gether they meant large sum to the
man. Things went on thus. The
man got to feeling SO badly that he
II
got out OF bed and running to the
granary found his 1900 bushels of
wheat still there. He had only been
dreaming.
Moral-The next day the man
went to the publisher Of his paper
saying:
Here sir, is the pay for my paper
and when next years subscription is
due you can depend on me to pay it
promptly. I stood in the position Of
an editor last night and I know how
it feels to have ones honestly earned
money scattered all over the country
in small amounts. Exchange.

A recent remark Of the Chattanoo-
ga Times is very pertinent. That
paper says that lawlessness has been
the curse Of Kentucky for years, and
that the bulk of her crime has been
committed by her ''best people. :"
This condition of affairs is deplora-
Bile. Violence Of this character is
out of date, in this the last year of
the nineteenth century. Human SYM
pathies go instantly and without re-
serve to the human being who falls
the victim of an assassin.
The manhood of Kentucky should,
even though the action bring about
civil war, see to it that the man who
was sworn in as her governor be
wrested from his high seat. This is
the first step toward the doing justice
to manhood and the government.

The Five Toasts.

Five prominent gentlemen of for
eign birth chanced to meet in Los
Angeles; one Russian, one an
American, one Frenchman, one a
Turk and the other an Englishman.
The gentlemen became bosom friends
and finally champagne supper was
proposed. Each was to give toast
to his native country, the one giving
the best toast being at no expense for
the wine.
Here are the toasts given:
Russian Here's to the stars and
bars of Russia that were never pull

The liberality of the government has
endowed Sydney with an extent of
parks, public gardens and recreation
reserves which few even of the great
European cities can equal. In the met
ropolitan area there are 5,3S7 acres set
apart for such purposes. In addition,
q magnificent reserve, situated 16 miles
south of the city, but accessible by rail
way, has been dedicated to the public
as national park. Its area is 36.320
acres, and it surrounds the picturesque
bay of Port Hacking. 1t is covered
with splendid virgin forest, and the
scenery is charming. Another large
park, situated ten miles to the north of
Sydney and known as Ku-ring gal
Chase, is also dedicated to the public.
Its area Is $4,000 acres. The Sydney
botanical gardens are much the Oldest
and finest in the British colonies. They
are 40 acres in extent, situated within
the Domain, surrounding Farm Cove.

GREAT IRON MARKET.
Natural Advantages Made the Most
Of In Cleveland.

Cleveland ranks as the greatest iron
ore market in the world. sixty per
cent of the Lake Superior output Is re-.
celved in the port of this district, and
it is the center to which manufacturers
who do not not own mines look for
their supplies. BY reason Of her fame
as an ore market the city's iron inter
ests are conspicuous. There are large
blast furnaces here which roll steel and
structural material and produce rods
and wire. Steel rails are made here,
and the big rudder frames for the lat
est and best battleships were construct
ed in Cleveland.
Practically all the best sugar ma
chinery of the country is made here.
Twist drills of the best quality are
among the iron products. Nut and bolt
works, steel bridge plants and iron and
steel shaping concerns are common.
Andrew Carnegie once stated that this
city was the ideal location for the
greatest iron and steel producing re-
gion in the world. Immense forgings
are made here, and electrical equip
ment constructed in this city is sent
into all parts of the world. Metrical
instruments of the best kind are made
here. The superiority of the city as an
iron center is due to both natural and
acquired advantages. Cleveland is the
greatest receiving and distributing
point on the great lakes, and its rail
road facilities are the best.
