CREDIT SHE DIDN'T SEEK.
Embarrassing Position of nm Absent
Minded Woman Who Had Made
Mistake.

A lady who keeps a summer boarding
house at the seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house over
and find out what must be renewed. She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
TO Boston TO have them repaired. She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for
got her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the coun-
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started off.
Then the owner of the umbrella, wom-
an standing next her, seized her and said
very sharply: You have taken my UNI
brella!" OF course she apologized, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget
ting in her fluster her own bundle of UNI
brellas. The next day, on her way to Cam
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package of umbrellas,
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed lady cycling her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant en-
phass:
you seem to have been more fortunate
today"
1t was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.

cHOATE AND THE BABY.
The American Amba doris Nail
Head Wit In an Address In
England.

Lately, at the opening Of free library at
Acton. England, Hon, Joseph III. Choate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to a
baby who persisted in distracting the at
tention Of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most inconvenient moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first
Interruption occurred early in the speech.
Mr.. Choate was saying: "There is a spe-
cial provision for children in your library,
and | think when men come to make a
choice of a residence in Acton they will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such manner as to drown the
words of the speaker. There was some dis
turbance, but Mr.. Choate said: Don't be
disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows bet
ter than my Lord Bishop that out of the
mouths of babes and sucklngs cometh wis
DOM Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Choate was saying:
There is book with which all of you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos
sibly, the baby-are familiar" the ambassa-
dor went on sit is Ecclesastes, and it says

Twain Mt the Telephone.

While living at his home at Hartford
Conn, Mark Twain was one morning deep
in the composition of some humorism from
which he expected good deal, when heswas
to receive the message and bring il to him,
but in few moments was informed that the
party at the other end OF the wire wanted
him. Provoked at the interruption, Mark
went to the telephone and after "hellong"
for some time without an answer, he used
some language not generally seen in print,
but which was certainly picturesque While
thus engaged he heard an answer in aston
ished tones and recognized the voice of an

Great prosperity has visited Mis-
souri, and Kansas during the last three

the citizens during the whirl and ex-
element of the democratic conven-
ton.
Missouri has gained SIPS, COO in
wealth under this republican admins
tration.
The state of Kansas has gained al
most $1O0,O00,0o0 in wealth under this
republican administration.
The democratic party is notoriously
an anti-prosperous party. and the
farmers and wage earners in Kansas
and Missouri must not allow them
selves to be led away by the false prom
ises and calamity bowling of their
friends who are assembling to-day in
national convention. Our statements
are from official figures and show the

r.ina More Cotton.

In 1894, during democratic admins
tration, the cotton mills of the United
States consumed only 16 per cent. OF
the entire average cotton crop. Last
year they used over 81 per cent. and
this year they will use about one-shird
of the whole crop: more than twice as
much as in 1894. Workersin the cotton

OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Great Increase I'm Values This Year
Over Democratic
Times.

Never in American history was the
situation of the American farmer as
distressing as when the republican
party met in convention in June,
1876. Business confidence was gone,
labor was idle, capital retired, farm
values shrunken, and the sheriff with
ms foreclosed mortgage sales the only
active man in rural communities.
That convention, planting itself
squarely upon the side of national
honor and business integrity, nomi-
mated a man whose whole life work
was summed up in his trenchant dec
laration: open American mills to
American workmen." With Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination the issue was square
ly joined and presented to the Amer
lean farmer for settlement, one can
didate offering a debased currency,
cheap dollar; the other standing
for sound money, protection to Amer
lean industries, and full employment
for labor at American wages.
The vote Of the great farming states
of the west elected Mckinley, and the
statistics already presented prove that
rural prosperity followed. The best
showing of the change in the condi-
ton of the American farmer, between
the first nomination of Mr.. Mckinley
and his denomination, is q simple
statement of the prices ruling for
farm staples at each date. 1t is an
argument against the abandonment
of republican policies which cannot

the largest gains in both states. While
wool is not so much grown here as in
the farwestern states, still the increase

Lastly, an explanation of the num-
Der of bank depositors in Kansas and
Missouri is full of facts upon which our
citizens can congratulate themselves.
The figures are taken from the last
annual report. of the comptroller of
the currency:
In the state of Kansas there were
53,151 people who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were 1OO,s4o
bank accounts in that state.
In 1894 the total deposits in Kansas
amounted to $17,147160; last year the
total amount of the deposits was $685.
505.101.
There has been an icrease of prac-
tically 100 per cent, both in the num-
Der of people who had money TO deposit
in the banks, and in the total amount
of money on deposit in Kansas.
In the state of Missouri there were
117,367 persons who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were $4,000
bank accounts. In 1894 the total
amount of deposits in Missouri was
$53,912,953. In 1899 che deposits in all
the banks Of Missouri had increased to
$141, re, 449.
While the number of depositors in
Missouri had increased by 90 per cent,
the total amount of money deposited
had increased by 100 per cent.
These facts and figures do not show
the increase in the business done at
, the stores, mines and factories, nor the
larger amount Of wages paid to the
thousands of people who earn their
livelihood in these two states.

panies repeat that there is nothing to

James B. Post, Of B. H. Howell, Son

"You may say emphatically," Mr..
Post said, that there is nothing in the
report. There is no settlement of the
war, nor can we see when there will be
any. These people who argue because
of the recent advances in refined sugar
prices that these signify a settlement
simply do not understand what they
are talking about. The advance in raw
