Changed Their Drinks.

"A number of yearss ago." said a temperance advocate, "the Rev. Thom- as Colson was out west. He stopped off at a town which was the loafing place of a large number of cowboys when they were off duty. These rough looking fellows, with revolvers strap ped to their sides and wearing belts filled with cartridges, met Mir. Colson and asked him to take drink. He declined at first, but they insisted, and he went along with them. When the party reached the saloon, the biggest of the three called out, What are you going to have? The other two said, Whisky
 "'Give me whisky, too,' he said.
 "'What's yours? he added to MT. Colson.
 "'Water'
 "'Water, chr exclaimed the big fel- low. See here, stranger, you drinks what them other gents drinks CT I'll spring a few leaks in your swallow
 "He drew out his revolver and han dled it menacingly.
 "'You didn't dictate to these gentle men what they should call for, did your said MT. Colson.
 "No.'
 "'Wcll, you can't dictate to me, either. My drink is water. I always thought you would be too much of a gentleman, Dave, to question mans right to choose his own drink when he was your guest
 "'Well, string me up if it ain't Tom Colson!' exclaimed the man, who had recognized his boyhood friend. Me and Tom used to go to school together, fellers. Well, if I ain't glad to see von, ! want to apologize to you. Tom,

 The seventh year was drawing to close when old John was caught up. A stranger presented a check which he hesitated to pay and about which he consulted the cashier. Later on the cashier stated that he had ordered 1t to be held pending examination. Old John said &at he had been ordered to pay it at once. The check was paid, and, being spurious, the bank was $500 out of pocket. It was a question of

 For seven years old John Fosdick had been paying teller of the First Ma tional bank in a western town. Pre- vious to his taking the place he had been a private banker and merchant and had played in hard luck. He had secured the place through having the friendship of the president, but there had been a ring" against him in the bank. The place had been promised to a relative of the cashiers, and old John was looked upon as an intruder. Without the president behind him, even after he had held the place for three or four years, he would have been fired by those in authority. He was man who said but little and rendered faithful service. As he grew old they tried to make his age point against him, and, not succeeding in that, it was hoped that he might get caught

farmers foe 1000. In 1895, when the
price of wheat was disagreeably low,
the assertion was made that the farm
ere OF the west were losing money on
every bushel Of wheat they sold. Many
elaborate calculations of the exact
COST Of wheat raising were made and
printed at that time. But they did not
agree, and varied greatly. After
the advance in the price of groin no
more was written about the cost of pro-
duction. Reasonably accurate inform@
saon on this subject would be valuable
and interesting. but the difficulties in
she way OF getting such information
Ane perhaps insurmountable,
