PUN TljA1. WON.
ALHe Insurance Agent to Whom Time
i Mas No Object.

u
a life insurance agent who re-
sides in this place deserves great
credit not only for the energy and
persistence with which be pushes
his business, but for his punctuality
in keeping engagements. He had
been after a man who resides in
Anita for the past two years and
had received some encouragement.
He called one day last week, and
when the man saw the insurance
agent approaching he ran and hid.
But the insurance agent had caught
a glimpse of his feeting form and
was not to be foiled. He finally
smoked his man out and told him
he had come to talk insurance.
Il am too busy, said, the man.
."Call again when / have more time, =
when may / call, then? Set
your own time, and I'll be there"
The man thought moment, then
made reply:
You may call next Friday morn
ing at 8 o'clock"
E1 will be on time"
Vixen the appointed day; arrived,
our interchangeable insurance man
arose at 1 80 o'clock and walked to
Anita, a distance of nearly five
miles, arriving there at 2:55. He
sat down on the porch and waited
until precisely 8 o'clock, then rang
the doorbell.
"What's wanted?" inquired a fe-
male voice from an upstairs vim
dow.
tIs Mr.. Jones at home?''
"He is"
'STell him to come down right
away. I have some very important.
business with him."
Mr.. Jones hustled down stairs in
his nightshirt, and there was the
life insurance agent!
81 have called, " he began, Gas you
requested, to talk life insurance"
Jones was somewhat astonished
and bewildered, but, realizing that
he was up against it, said:
"Such punctuality deserves to be
rewarded. I surrender"
And he gave him his application
for policy. Punxsutawney Spirit.

Counsel 70 smokers.

From the Royal academy Of Bel
GUM comes the following advice to
smokers:
"Do not use moist tobacco, since
nicotine then escapes with the va
por and is not decomposed.
DO not smoke either while fast
ing or a short time before meals.
5sWhen smoking cigars or ciga-
rettes, always use an amber, meer-
schaum, horn or cherry holder.
Nicotine vaporizes at $50 de-
grees, and that portion Of it which
is not decomposed in the center is
attracted toward the tip and ac-.
cumulates there. It is therefore
prudent to throw away the last
quarter of cigar.
do not smoke pipe which has
q short STEM"

A pulling phenomenon has been
the blackening Of fields of buck

An explanation is suggested BY the
researches Of Lemstroem, German
electrician, who has caused water to
be sucked up through capillary
tubes when an electric influence ma

away. AS the fluids Of plants rise

Curious Korean Custom.

A very curious custom in Seoul,
Korea, is the law which makes it
obligatory for every man to retire
to his home when the huge bronze
bell Of the city has proclaimed it to
be the hour Of sunset and the time
for closing the gates. No man is
allowed in the streets after that
hour under pain of flogging, but the
women are allowed to go about and
visit their friends. 80 >-..------..
