HE GOT A PANAMA.

"I made up my mind before I went
away" said the Cincinatian who had
been down to the Isthmus, "that when
I got to Panama I'd have a genuine
panama hat at any cost. That was the
only thing I cared to buy, and visited
the store having the largest stock and
took my time about the purchase.
"I planked down SIS for the hat and
was assured by the merchant that 1t
was one Of the finest ever made. 1t
was overhauled by dozen different
people on the steamer, much admired
in New York, and it was rakishly cock
ed on my ear when arrived home.
II hadn't yet reached my house when
I met a Florida friend Of mine, and af-
ter little he said:
"'Been laying yourself on a new hat
I see.'
"'Yes. How do you like tt?'
"'Oh, so so. Buy it in New York"
"'No, sir. I got this right down
where they CROWN Panama
"I see. + believe they do sell some
of our goods down there, but Of course
they add so per cent. to the price
What do you mean" asked, as I
felt my heart thump my ribs.
"'Oh, nothing much he replied with
a. laugh and, running his fingers be-
hind the band, he turned up the trade
mark Of a Florida straw hat maker"

1.-THE mysterious workings Of a wo-
mans mind are unfathomable," re-
marked the auctioneer. II don't claim
any originality in the remark, but
merely put it forward as an observa-
ton. 1 was engaged last week by
woman to auction off her household
goods, neighbors turning out IN force
fawning and handling the goods In a
way that always reminds me Of ghouls
in a graveyard. There is something ir-
resistible to the average woman IN De-
ing allowed to rumage the goods be-
longing to a neighbor.
1.-The bidding started off briskly, but
I soon noticed that a certain man was
getting everything that was put up. l
thought nothing of it at the time, tax
ing it for granted that he was some
one desirous Of furnishing house and
thought the opportunity good one to
do II cheap. When the sale ended, ne
had bought everything in sight, and
congratulated the lady Of the house on
having sold all her goods to one man
and thus simplified closing matters up,
"I hired him to do the bidding she
answered calmly.
"'You hired him. I gasped. Wasn't
the biding satisfactory"
"I hadn't the slightest idea of SELL
ing my goods by auction she answer
ed serenely.
"I looked at her in blank amaze
ment and then asked her what she In
tended to do.
"Well, you see,' she said, when
moved here the neighbors completely
ignored me, and not one Of them called
to see all the beautiful things that
had filled my house with, so made up
my mind that they would see them II

of holding an auction occurred to me-

some large island, with fine soil and
climate, provide them with free pas

BLUE PREDoMINANT.-He was from
the country and stood helplessly be-
fore the naughty young lady clerk OF
the downtown store.
What do you want, please?" she de-
manded icily.
He gulped down his embarrassment,
for he was hopelessly young and shy
and awkward, and she was most supe-
rior looking.
"I want twelve yards of blue predom-
inant," he finally said.
WHAT" demanded the startled
clerk.
"T-twelve yards Of b-b-b-blue pre-
dominant" he stammered again.
I'm sure I don't know what that
means" said the clerk. Then, woman
ly kindness and intuition getting the
better Of her hauteur, she said: Tell
me just what it was that your mother
or your sister told you to bring"
He gave a sigh of relief and said:,
They wanted some wash goods for
my little sisters dress. They said they
were not so particular as to quality
and color, just so 1 got blue predom-
1nant. Can I get it here?"

THE JOB He PREFERRED.-Just after
the fall of Bloemfontein, soldiers were
called upon, owing to the scarcity of
civilians, to work the railway. The
weary men were lying in camp one
night after hard days work when a
sergeant called out:
Amy of you men want to put your
names down as railway porters, driv-
ers. stokers or for any other appoint
ments connected with the railway?
The silence was broken only by
snores. Then one Tommy slowly rails
ed his head and drowsily muttered:

MEcKLENBURa MAKING PROGRESS
The corn shredder is a new thing In
this section of the country and Is
arousing. almost as much interest
among the farmers as did the appear
ance of the perambulating thresher,
some years ago. Two Of these shred
ders are being operated in Mecklenburg
county, one by Mr.. Robert Wallace, of
Eastfield, and the other by Mr.. Oscar
Hunter of Sharon. The shredders are
run by steam power and are moved
from farm to farm, like wheat thresh-
ers. Mr.. Wallace's shredder Is now at
work on the farm of Mr.. John Sims,
about three miles north Of the city, and
its operations are being watched with
much interest by the neighboring far
mers.
The introduction Of the shredder
marks a new era in agricultural opera
tions Of Mecklenburg. The shredder
takes the corn as it was cut from the
field, shucks the ear and by means of
a belt elevator sends the grain to the
bins. The stalks, shucks and fodder
are cut to shreds and by means OF an
other elevator are conveyed to the barn
loft. The farmers who have had their
corn crop handled by the shredder are
delighted with the result. Every par
tical Of the crop is saved, and at the
same time stored away, saving a great
deal Of labor, time and expense In the
handling. The appearance of the
shredder on the Mecklenburg farms
means the passing Of the old system OF
harvesting the corn crop.-Charlotte

REMEMBER THE DEAD
THE LIVING CARE EOR
THEMSELVES.

wv HEN you remember the dead Of
w your family, you show to the
world that your love for them is not
buried with the body. It Is duty you
owe yourself and to the one that Is
gone, to place a neat Monument or
Tombstone over the last resting place
Of departed loved ones. To do this the
expense is not great, and 1t shows to
the world that your love for the dead is
as lasting as stone. If you have rela-
tives buried in unmarked graves do not
let it remain so, when the expense OF
marking the grave properly is so small.
Get my prices and see the styles Of
work have to offer you.
