Down in Florida a few years ago
at one of the famous summer resorts
was a small street railroad-a little
affair that cid not amount to much,
but was supposed by its prOprietors
to be sufficient for all ordinary pur-
poses. One day in the course OF a
discussion the owners were accused
Of being old fogies and behind the
times. why don't you get together
and be up to date?" they were asked.
"You really ought to have a modern
equipment for place of this charac-
ter. instead Of an old road of mule
drawn cars that date back to the
food"
After considerable deep meditation
and with many misgivings the read
was ordered changed to an electric
line, and an S0-horse power equipment
was ordered. The outfit arrived and
vas installed, but for some reason
failed to operate properly. An out
SIDE expert was then called in to ex-
anime the plant and locate the trou.
bic. At special directors meeting
ne reported that the rated efficiency
Of the plant was S0-horse power. and
that so horse power were being used
for the actual operation of the road.
At this one Of the directors jumped
I'D and exclaimed excitedly: Eighty
lorse power for what we used to do
with six mules? l guess we had bet
ter 20 back to the mules. "-Electrical

SIMPKINS'S HOROSCOPE.

Simpkins had ideas, but none Of
them seemed to be worth much. At
least they had brought him in very
.,ttle revenue, and if rev. nuc is not The
test OF value what is?
Every now and then Simpkins would
not happen to be supplanted in his
mind by something newer he would
exploit it. He had exhibited good
deal. off and On, and yet success seem
ed to elude him.
Unlike most persons who have ideas
Simpkins was never discouraged Pro-
badly that was because his ideas were
not grand, al!-absorbing ones, such
as occur only once or twice in life
'Ame, but simply-well, notions that
come and go like waves tapping on
beach,
Simpkins was not rich, but he had
desires that way. That was one of the
reason why he bad SO many ideas. He
was always planning schemes which
seemed to hold out possibilities OF
wealth, and the ideas were notions in
tended to help him along.
Reading some country papers one
day-which hal been brought back by
the boarder who had been away on his
holidays-Simpk,n was struck by the
number of advertisements of persons
who dealt in the future-readers of
horoscopes, interpreters Of signs, de-
cipherers Of palms. The advertise
ments generally read something like
this:

Here seemed to be something new,
and Simpkirs determined to look into
it. Not that he wished his own future
told, interesting as that might be, but
he thought that perhaps he could make
something out Of telling others. Evi-
IDENTIFY there was money in it, else why
wo.ld SO many be engaged in the busi-
ness? True, the fees looked little
small. Still, in the aggregate, they
might mount up, and anyway he must
take conditions as he found them.
So Simpkins set himself to the study
Of the occult. He paid daily visits to
the Astor Library and searched
through old tones on the influences Of
the heavens For he was honest in
a way-was Simpkins, and he had no
notion of taking money without CIV
ing some return.
Having thus at length versed him
self in the science of horoscopy, Simp-
kins inserted advertisements in the
rural papers. They were very much
like those which had attracted his own
attention. and offered to answer three
questions for 10 cents, an unlimited
number for a collar, and soon Simp-
kins was doing brisk business. From
the data in the letters he was casting
horoscopes and reading futures with
a zeal and an enthusiasm proportioned
to the prospect of much wealth and
the temporary rovelty of the occupa-
tion. Incidentally Simpkins was be-
coming interested in his correspond
particularly those Of the fair
and gentle sex. They wrote such con-
fiding, candid letters, full of little con-
fidences and tender pleadings, that the
sympathetic heart of Simpkins was
touched. Here was one. for instance.
which reached him on the very first
day of his new enterprise:
My Dear Mr.. Simpkins: I enclose
you at once 81 for complete reading,
not waiting to test your abilities, of
which I have every confidence, by a
preliminary three questions. have
for some time been contemplating the
subject of matrlmony. Let ME hasten
to add that as yet my affections are
