On one occasion Sims Reeves, the
famous tenor, was stranded at a coun-
try junction waiting for a train. 1t
was cold and miserable, and the singer
was naturally not in the best of tenn
pers. While chewing the cud of disap-
pointment an old railway porter who
recognized him from the published por-
traits entered the waiting room.
Good evening, Mr.. Sims Reeves" he
said.
Good evening. my man." replied the
vocalist, getting ready the necessary
tip. But the man sought for informa-
ton rather than tips.
"They tell me you earn a heap Of
money" he remarked.
"Ohr' murmured Mr.. Reeves.
'And yet" pursued the porter, you
don't work hard Not so hard as do,
for instance. But dessay you earn
p'raps ten times what | do-eh?"
''What do you earnY asked the
singer.
Eighteen shillings a week all the
year round" said the porter.
Sims Reeves opened his chest. "Do,
re, mi-do." he sang. the last note be
ing a ringing top one. There, my
man: there's your years salary gone"
The amazed railway man gazed won
deringly at the singer for a full min

An old globe circler says that In
going around the world there is scarce
ly one traveller In a hundred who re
members that In going from east to
west q day is gained and that in going
from west to east a day Is lost. Many
of those who come into contact with
this truth knew all about it when they
were at school. but never think of it
on the high sees. In Illustration Of
the point he tells this story:
my first trip around the world was
from England to Australia. Out in
the middle Of the Pacific sign was
put announcing that the date was
Thursday. July II. This was all right,
but the next day the same sign was
put up again. This was an oppor-
tunity for those of us who thought we
were real wise to show the ships
officers that they were not infallible.
After we had expended our choicest
sarcasm and had been rebuffed by va
rious officers the captain set US
straight.
ION my way back one day the card
went up announcing that 1t was Satur-
day. Aug. 10. The next day the sign
said Monday, Aug. 10. Two ministers
on board thought the captain a some
what profane old salt. who had skip
ped a day to avoid the religious serv-
ices which they had prepared. He
convinced them that 1t was a mere
coincidence that on that particular
date the lost day was Sunday. Since

the ships navigator his business. and

In Georgia there Is farm devoted to
mistletoe and holly growing. 1t is
owned by the CARTRIDGE family, consist
Ing of mother and two daughters, but
the daughters do the farming. 1t all
began through the failure of the elder
sister to make an immediate triumph
In art, to study which she went to New
York. She realized In the great city,
as she never could have in her rural
Southern home, that talent for art is
too general to leave much hope for spe-
cial distinction, and wisely concluded
to turn to something that would bring
more speedy results. Being an OBJ
servant young woman, Miss CARTRIDGE
noticed that holly and mistletoe brought
extremely high prices. and bethought
her that on the 500 acres at home In
Georgia both grew In wild abundance.
She returned home, and she and her
sister began to prepare for making the
neglected luxuriance of marketable
value. In the months of January and
February following they set out ten
acres of young holly trees with their
own hands. Their colored farm-hands
would not plant holly tree for worlds,
as they believe that II they did they
would die as soon as the tree became
tall enough to cast shadow the meas
ure of their graves. Last Christmas
the sisters found the trees so grown
that they required thinning out, and
the trees that were removed were sent
north for Christmas trees and brought
high prices, as they were symmetrical
and covered with large. rich berries.

First Emancipation Decree.

The first emancipation proclamation
Is said to be ON the gravestone at Con
cord OF John Jack, native of Africa,
who died In 1878, aged 60. 1t begins:
God wills us free; man wills us slaves.
| Will as God wills; Gods will be done.
Though born in land of slavery, he
was born free. Though he lived In a
land of liberty. he lived slave. till by
his honest though stolen labor he ac-

gave him his freedom" The rest of the

It is wonderful how things have changed during the past ten years. Only few years ago it was the excep- ton to find a man who made it his rule to pay cash for his purchases. Everything was charged and settled for about once year. and sometimes never This system was ruinous for the merchant. who was always deeply in debt and badly worried. It was disastrous for the customer because he had to pay more for everything and. besides, it developed the shiftlessness in him. Did you ever notice the fel- low that owes everybody, has every thing charged and never pays bill the first time it is presented? He doesn't get along half so well and isn't respected as much as the man who pays cash for what he buys. Cash stores are up to date and the most prosperous people patronize them. That is why so many people are buy ing their hardware, steel ranges, tin- ware, guns. cutlery and other useful things at Davidson's Cash Store. The business growth of this concern is as- tonishing. It is true they have adver- tsed considerably, but the main req son why the people are trading at Davldson's more and more is that there is a saving that averages from 15 to 20 per cent, and that they have a great variety of useful articles, be- sides making your money back if you are not suited" the rule They are To- cated IA to IF West Washington St., Phoenix.
