Fortune in the AIistIetoe.

In Georgia there IS farm devoted to
mistletoe and holly growing. 1t is owned
by the CARTRIDGE family, consisting 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 special distinction, and
wisely concluded to turn to something
that would bring more speedy results.
Being an observant young woman, Miss
CARTRIDGE noticed that holly and mis-
tletoe brought extremely high prices and
bethought her that on the 500 acres at
home in Georgia both grew in wild ab-
undance. She returned home and she
and her sister began to prepare for max
ing the neglected luxuriance of market
able 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 a holly tree for worlds,
as they believe that if they did they
would die as soon as the tree became tall
enough to cast a shadow the measure OF
their graves. Last Christmas the sisters
found the trees so grown that they re-
quired thinning out and the trees that
were removed were sent north for Christ
mas trees and brought high prices, as
they were symmetrical and covered with
large, rich berries. They plant the mis-
tletOe berries under the bark of old oak
get hold as they terminate.

KILLED Her Poor Pnnnr.

The question was put to Gen. Wheeler.
General, what was the most fool
hardy thing you ever saw on the field Of
battle?"
81 didn't see it on the field of battle, E"
replied Gen. Wheeler. 81 saw it yester-
day, when a young woman tried to enter
a revolving storm door leading a dog by
a very long string. She passed through
in safety, but not so the dog. The rush
ing public came along, and the dog was
ground both ways and chopped up as
though he were in a sausage machine.
Each time he escaped his mistress tug
ged madly on the string and pulled him
into if again. She got him through at
last, being a very determined girl. The
jan1tor of the building wrapped him up
in a newspaper for her, so that she could
carry him home. The way she chung to
that string was the most foolhardy thing
I ever aw."-New York Times.

THE sCHLEY CONTROVERSY CLOSED

THE SCHLEY CONTROVERSY CLOSED.
A sad chapter in American naval
history has closed. Admiral Winfield
Scott SchIey has been condemned by
the majority report of the court, and
although Admiral Dewey's report ex-
honerated SchIey, Secretary Long has
approved the verdict of Admirals Ben
ham and Ramsey's finding against
Schley on IL points.
Even Admiral Dewey, the hero of
Manila bay, has been reproved for find
ing for the hero Of Santiago, that he
was in command and entitled to the
credit of that great victory; and Sec
rotary Of War Root has reprimanded
Lieut.. Gen. Miles, commander Of the
army, for commencing the minority
report of Admiral Dewey.
The court has been dissolved and
Admiral Schley has been refused a
hearing in protest against the findings
Of the majority Of the court, and thus
the matter closes. 1t is not probable
that congress will take the matter up
and order a hearing or investigation
or pass any resolution commanding OF
generating Schley. 1t is a condition
deplorable in the extreme.
The two members of the court find
ing against Schley seem to have ig
nored the testimony of the admiral in
his own behalf, and also the testimony
of all his witnesses, and to have found
for the naval department on every
count excepting the charge Of coward
ice. It makes the hearts of patriotic
Americans ache to think of these
things.

Gen. Chaffee, military commander in
the Philippines, does not agree with
the roseate view of the Taft commits
sion as to the progress and possibilities
of civil government in the islands. In
his report he says, in substance, that
the talent for secrecy and concealment
of all the Filipino people is simply
phenomenal; and that duplicity, trea-
cherry, treason and hate of Americans
is universal throughout the islands.
In his opinion, upon such elements it
is impossible to establish popular gov
eminent. This is bad enough.

You can't be happy unless you try to
make others happy.
Love and a good dinner are great
workers in the field of charity.
In order to love, a man must have
something to put his arms around.
A woman never tries to hirt with a
married man who loves his wife.
The worst thing a mother can say of
her bad boy is that he's mischievOus.
The tramp never looks for a job, yet
be often steps into another mans shoes.
With the exception OF the reason it.
self, a woman has a reason for every
thing.
the poor expect the Lord to credit it as
cream.
Unless his wife's relations are rich and
distinguished the average man is never
interested In them.
1t matters not how graceful a girl may
be, she simply can't enact the part while
trying to climb out Of a hammock.
A woman may be a friend to the nan
she has never loved, but she VIII always
be an enemy OF the man she has loved in

Many young man imagines that a
girl takes an interest Ia his welfare.
when IN reality she Is interested only In

WAITING, STILL WAITING.
Fancy Asking Day After Day for a
Letter That Has Never
Yet Come.
From Detroit Free Press. ]

From Detroit Free Press
at must have been quite a year ago."
said the general delivery clerk at the
post Office, chat man came in one day
and inquired for a letter In his name,
and he looked much disappointed when
1 could find none to hand out. Since
that day, up to a week ago, he has been
coming twice a week, most always when
I was on duty, and as no letter for him
ever arrived, 1 had considerable curio-
sity regarding his case. In fact. l built
up a romance around him. I took it
that he might have separated from his
wife in some distant town, and was
hoping to hear from her and make up
the quarrel, and 1 actually came to feel
hard toward her because she refused to
write. 1t seemed to me that the man
was failing in health as he lost hope,
and now and then 1 gave him cheerful
word to brace him up. A week ago
saw his name on a letter, and next time
he called gladly passed it out with tho
remark:
Here is your long expected letter at
last, and hope it contuins good news.
HE stepped away from the window to
read it, and after few minutes he came
back TO say:
I didn't get it
"'What was it?'
Why, I sent to my brother -in-law in
Pittsburg almost a year ago to borrow a
dollar to buy some porous plasters, and
he writes me that he can't very well
spare it, and that I'd better use mustard
| insteadp"

A groan burst from the young mans
pallid lips.
"AlOne in a great city! Ha! That re-

With feverish haste he rushed to the
nearest pawnbrokers.
How much on this?" he asked, breath
lessly, thrusting his overcoat at the pro
prietor.

He grabbed the money and the pawn
check and rushed forth into the open
air again.

One of the things that need regulat-
ing, along the line of interstate COM
merce. are the express companies, both
as to rates charged and the money ex-
press order business. The express
companies are doing a banking bust
ness, in one of its features, the receiv-
ing and sending of money; and, out
side of the big cities, without assets
and capital commensurate to such
transactions. A man gets an express
money order and goes to the express
Office for his money. He is told that
there is no money on hand to pay the
order, as the company requires daily
remittances to the central office of all
receipts and that be can get it cashed
at the bank. Perhaps it is not bank
ing hours; then he must hunt up some
merchant or individual to cash 1t.
Banks cannot be compelled to cash
the express order as they have no de-
posits with the bank, and if cashed at
all it is only through courtesy to indi-
viduals. This system is in competition
both with bank drafts and post office
money orders. 1t should be required
of express companies to have funds on
hand to cash all demands or let the
express money orders go to protest the
same as bank paper unhonored. It is
an imposition on the public and abuse
Of this privilege by express companies
should be prohibited by law.
