WHAT A BILLION MEANS.

So glibly, indeed, do we use the
word "billion" tnat few of us pause
to consider the immensity Of the
sum. How long would it take to
count a billion? A few years per-
haps. Well, yes. At the rate of
100 minute-a very liberal allow
ance of speed - and calling eight
hours days work, $4,000 would
be counted day. In year of 800
working days the score would be
14,40O,000, and it would require
SO 1-3 years to count the full bill
lion. The prophets span of three
score and ten, minus few months,
would be consumed in the simple
counting of the sum that trips SO
lightly from the tongue these days.

a BIT OF BUSINESS.
Turned His Rivars Purchase to
His Own Account.

A short time ago the manager of
one of the big stores in this city
found that rival establishment had
just received large consignment of
a very fine quality of lace. Needless
tc say, that lace was also very ex-
pensive.
He Immediately sent one of his
subordinates over to the rival store
with instructions to buy half yard
OF the aforesaid lace. This he hung
up in a conspicuous position with a
very iogible price mark attached,
and the price marked was very rea-
sonable. Then he gave some in
structions to the girls behind the
counter and retired to await dcvel-
opmcnts.
Two shoppers soon happened
along that way, and the piece of
lace caught their attention.
Isn't that just too bcautiful!'
exclaimed one Of them.
But instead of answering her di-
rectly her companion graspcd her
by the arm and whispered cxcitedly,
Look at the price''
In answer to their eager questions
the shopgirl answered nonchalant-
ly:
"That there lace? don't think
we've got any more. Wait a min
L.e."
The two women waited while the
girl consulted long and seriously
with one of her fellows. The con-
sultation was about dance which
was to take place that evening, but
the would be customers never knew
the difference. When it was over.
the girl returned and informed
them:
''Sorry, but we're all out of that
lace. Guess you can get some over in
Blanks, though" mentioning the
rival establishment. The two women
hurried away, fearing that the sup
ply in the other store might also be
exhausted before their arrival. 1t
wasn't, but they did not buy any
lace, and, furthermore, they advised
all their friends to shop at Dash's,
because the prices there are SO rea-
sonable. "But," they added, syou'vc
got to get there early or the incest
things will be all sold out."- New

A.. IL was piece OF wnaC Iluu Deeu
her great-grandmother's wedding
gown.
Brie had made the FIRST of oil the
many balsam pillows. 1t was meant
for a goodby gift to Hiss Morgan.
Your cushion is the Joy of my
life" wrote that lady to her month
after she went home. every one
who sees it falls in love with it.
Half q dozen people have asked me
how they could get one like it, and,
Brie, this has given me an idea.
Why should you not niakc them for
eale?. l will send you up some pref
ty silk for the covers, and you might
cross stitch a little motto if you
like I'll copy some for you. Two
people have given me an order al
ready: They will pay 81 apiece if
you like to try"
This suggestion was the small
wedge of the new industry. Brie lost
no time in making the two pillows,
grandmother's gown Fortunately
holding out for their covers. Then
came some pretty red silk from Miss
Morgan, with yellow filoselle for
the notices, and more orders. Rrie
worked busily that winter, for her
balsam pillows had to be made in
spare moments when other work
permitted. The grove on the hill
was her unfailing treasury of sup
ply. The thickset twigs bent them
to her will, the upper branches
seemed to her to rustic as with sat
isfaction at the aid they were Civ
ing In the spring the old trees re-
newed their foliage with vigorous
purpose, as if resolved not to balk
her in her work.
The fir grove paid Reuben's wages
that winter. Hiss Morgan came
back the following June, and by
that time balsam pillows were estab-
lished as articles of commerce, and
Brie had munifcent offer from q
recently established decorative art
society for supply Of the needles
at So pound. It was hard, dirty
work to prepare such a quantity,
but she did not mind.
AS l have said, this was some
years ago. Rrie nc longer lives in
the old home. Her mother died the
third year after Miss Morgan came
to them, the farm is sold and Brie
married. She lives now on ranch
in Colorado, but she has never for
gotten the fir grove, and the memo
ry of it is. help often in the de-
spending moments that come at
times to all lives.

There is no truer friendship than
that of the boy and the dog. There
are no happier days to which the
grown man may look back with a
tender regret for their passing than
the days spent in the old home

companion Of youth. Confidence be-
tween boy and dog was perfect. The
dog perhaps was not a thorough

minus Il pedigree, but the boy &c:

than that he should condescend to
make Of himself a demigod for un-
stinted confidence, affection and
worship. If the scientists would de-
