an up town hotel lobby and an elderly
man, whom he had introduced to the
party, made bold to tell q story about
the departed.
81 have known him." he said, ever
since he was a boy, and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth-
er to become a lawyer and politician or
60 to q theological seminary and be-
come q clergyman. He was fond Of
politics anG thought that with little
law and more religion on the side he
might become a great moral reformer.
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time.
"However, before he had had time to
determine finally what he would do,
his friends came after him to run for
the legislature, as he had the availa-
bility and a pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought him face to face with
the question he had been much dis
turbed over, and he went to Judge
Blank, a veteran in politics and man
Of the higi EST character, for assistance
in solving The problem. He stated his
case in full to the judge, and the grand
old man put his hand on the young
mans shoulder.
"'My boy he said as only ne could
say it, it can't be politics and religion.
1t must be one or the other. You can't
fit yourself for heaven and for the leg
islature at the same time, and there's
no use trying. That is all can say,
and you will have to make your own
choice. "-Washington Star

IL Alaska Growing Warmera

Prospective visitors and gold seekers
in the klondike region may extract
some comfort from the discovery, made
by the Hartman Alaska expedition,
that most Of the glaciers which abound
in that territory are receding. The
fact is an indication that the average
weather there is growing warmer. If
it were growing colder the glaciers
would be advancing, while If it were
about the same one year with another
they would maintain the same general
position, neither creeping nearer to the
sea nor melting away from their termi-
nal moraines. The rate Of glacial re-
cession is so slow, however, that fur
overcoats and warm sleeping bags are
likely to remain as part Of the neces-
sary equipment Of Alaskan travel for
some years to come.-Leslie's Weekly.

A STORY OF DAN RICE.
The Great Clown Did Not Forget the
Tent Mans Bill.


One story of Dan Rice, the veteran
circus clown, illustrates his strict sense
of honesty and gratitude for favors.
Once he was stranded in Cincinnati,
the story goes, and was unable to start
a show on the road because he had no
tent and could not raise money to buy
one. The tent Rice needed would be
worth $1,000. The manager Of a tent
concern sent for the clown one morn
ing and, taking him to his factory,
showed a big tent that was just finish
ed. Rice looked at it with hungry eyes.
He turned away, with a sigh.
Zine tent, don't You Think" asked
the canvas maker.
Rice looked back at it over his shoul-
der, with another deep sigh.
Its yours" said the tent man.
Rice was like 4 playful kitten in an
instant.
Il believe there is q lot of money in
you yet" said the canvas man. You
take that tent and start your show,
and if you ever get money enough to
pay me for it the price is $1,000"
Within two weeks Rice was on the
road with show and began 4 success
full career. For Is years he never re-
ferred to the tent, although he often
met the man who made it. One after
noon he asked the tent man to he his
guest at one of his shows, then in Gin
cinnati. The two sat looking on, and
Rice remarked:
"Fine show, don't you Think
The canvas man declared that it GER
tainly was.
"By the way" added Rice, there's
that $4,000 I owe you" He took roll
of bills out Of his pocket and handed it
to the tentmaker, who pocketed it with
out unrolling it. The old tent man lov-
ed to relate this story and always de-
clared that the great men Of this coun-
try were P. T. Barnum, John Robinson
and Dan Rice.-New York Mail and

Epitaphs In q Tyro1ean churchyard

Epitaphs In q Tyrolean Churchyard.
A German traveller has discovered
some quaint epitaphs in a Tyrolean
cemetery.
On tombstone in the valley Of Tux
was this inscription, 'In pious remem-
brance Of the honest widow Anna
Kriedl, 40 years long," a miller is
thus remembered, "In Christian mem
ory Of -, who departed this life with
out human assistance"
A farmer whose initials only are
given and appears to have been the
author Of his own epitaph has this
memorial: "Here rests in God +. &.
He lived 26 years as man and 81 years
as husband"
On the tomb Of q man who fell from
q roof and was Killed are these words,
"Here fell Jacob Hosenknopf from the
roof into eternity"
This wall Of a desolate husband caps
the climax, Tears cannot bring thee
back to life, therefore weep"

Wonders of New Hampshire.

The average reader will be amazed
to learn that little New Hampshire,
with less than 10000 square miles, has
no less than 4OG lakes and ponds, 154
brooks, IS rivers and 294 mountains.
This makes Iowa look small. Colora-
do, a big state, has $50 creeks. Texas
has comparatively few rivers, lakes
and creeks. Alabama has 663 creeks
and 81 rivers. Iowa cannot approach
that record. Minnesota has 222 lakes
and 40 riyers.-New York Press.

The Savannah morning news., 1900-07-16

The reimbursement in general business lines
has lately been viewed in a rather TOO
pessimistic way by many people. The
enormous demand of the last two years
inevitably resulted in an overproduction,
which must await gradual consumption,
hence the shading in prices, and the slack
ing off in sales, but the fact remains that
the great mass of the people is upon a
larger income basis; wage scales still rule
materially higher than for many PIE
Vious years and hence very large pur-
chasing power still remains to stimulate
business. This fact alone should be
enough to confound the alarmists. More
favorable weather conditions in both wheat
and cotton growing districts have caused
a more hopeful feeling and bid fair to re-
suit in a better crop showing.
