There is a certain sameness about wealth, but poverty is never twice alike. One day you go without butter. the next you have butter on your bread, but no sugar in your tea or maybe you have the sugar and no tea to put 1t in.
 Of course poverty has its drawbacks. The poor man hasn't as much time as the rich one in which to make love to his neighbor's wife, nor do the married couples among the poor find 1t easy to secure leisure In which to learn that their tempers are incompatible. It may occur to them sometimes that the domestic machinery doesn't run as smoothly as it might, but they are too busy to take 1t to pieces to see where the trouble lies, so they just pour on a little of the oil of forbearance and let it go at that; conse- quently their lives are apt to lack the eclat furnished by divorce.
 The rich on the other hand, have plenty of time to watch the wheels go round" and the minute there's anything wrong with the mechanism of their do- nestle happiness they straightway set to work to get at the why and the where fore. But, as every one who has experi- mented with clocks knows, 1t is easier to take a machine apart than it is to get 1t together again.
 After all Is said 1t remains that poverty Is neither a crime nor a credit. neither a curse nor an unmitigated blessing, while wealth, on the other hand, Is monotonous but convenient, and enervating but pleas ant-Ina Brevoort Roberts, in Brandurs Magazine.

POVERTY AND RICHES.
Each Condition Has It's Advantages
 and Its Drawbacks.

Poverty has its good points. In the first can read that Labor, all labor Is noble and holy without feeling any desire to leave his hammock He can peruse all the volumes ever written about the blessing of work without being impelled to move from his easy chair before the library fire. It's the empty dinner pail and the yawning coal scuttle that incite to &C., tivity.
 Poverty Is not a crime; put, then neither is it anything of which to be proud although we hear 1t boasted of so often that we are In danger of forgetting that poverty Is not the badge of honesty any more than wealth is the seal of cor ruption.
 Poverty is sometimes a blessing since 1t enables a man to tell who his friends are. It Is also a blessing because 1t serves to make wealth endurable to those who possess 1t. Where would be the fun for rich people in making a splurge if they hadn't any poorer friends to watch the show? What should we do with our old ball gowns if we hadn't any poor re- lations who never go to balls? How else could we secure the ten-dollar glow that comes as the result of five cents worth of charity if we had not the poor always with us?
 Poverty Is never monotonous. The man who does not know where his next meal Is to come from may suffer the bangs of hunger, but he will not be victim to ennui And of the two. hunger Is to be chosen.
 Above all else poverty is interesting

BLAINE AND HORSES.
The Brilliant Maine Man Always In
 Dread of RunaWays.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
 Had James c. Blaine been alive and a member of President Roosevelt's party at Pittsheld recently" remarked Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor. nthe disaster by which Craig lost his life would not have occurred. l don't think I ever met any one who was in such mortal fear of being in a runaway as was the brilliant Maine statesman. He would take absolutely no risKs with horses and required the most extreme precautions to be observed before he would submit himself to carriage ride
 T remember many years ago that MT. Blaine was to visit our city of Milwaukee and I was in charge of the arrangements for his reception and entertainment. one of the prominent liverymen or the town came 10 me and offered free or charge the services of magnificent team of six white horses to draw the carriage of MT. Blaine. I accepted the offer ana when the statesman arrived at the depot escorted him to the street where the team and carriage were waiting. l was about to hand MT. Blaine into the ve- hice when he suddenly drew back. There is nc one at the head of the horses he said, and I would prefer that you get some men to guard them before we proceed
 T told the driver what he said, and the latter insisted that he had absolute control over his animals; that they were used to bands and other noises, and that there was not the slightest danger. re-

No Infringement of It's Trade Mark

Special to the Louisville Times.
 Washington. October 23-The examiner of interferences in the United States pat ent office has decided the case of George B. Myers versus The Paracamph Com pany of Louisville, in which the plaintiff attempted to procure the right to use the word ''Paracamphor' as a trade mark. The examiner held that the use of this word was an infringement on the already well-known and registered trade mark "Paracamph," the property of The -Paracamph Company of Louisville. Ow- Ing to the notoriety attained by the prod uet Paracamph the case has attracted wide interest, many of the most promi- nent business men of Louisville, as we'll as hundreds of druggists throughout the United States, being interested in it's out come. The case has been fin litigation Tor some months, The Paracamph Company being represented by the law firms of Leopold & Pennebaker of Louisville and Hervey s. Knight of Knight Bros.

Opium Curse In China.

The statement that a German firm has offered the Chinese government s15,O0O, 0)O annually for the exclusive rights to sell opium throughout the empire Is sigaifi- cent for the evidence it affords of the hold which the opium curse has upon the Chinese people. It is quite as consistent for the Germans to secure a monopoly of this miserable stuff in the future as 1t was for England to force 1t upon China in the first place, but in neither case is the transaction credtable to professedly Christian nation. says Les lies Weekly. The use of $l50OO,0OO worth of opium per year will go, far toward offsetting all the good that all the mis- sicnary forces of other nations can do in China, and the fact that a traffic in the drug of such dimensions can be car ried on successfully is not a hopeful em- nirc

New Real Estate Company.

A new real estate office has been open ed by T. M. Bradley & Co.,, at No. 21l North Twentyfirst street, in the Colonial building. This company will conduct a general real estate and rental business.
 They have exclusive sale of the beau tiful property on the South Highlands now being opened and improved by the Highland Park company, of which MT. T. M. Bradley Is president. This is the choicest residence property on the South Highlands.
 The new company is managed by Mir T. M. Bradley, who is an old resident and prominent business man of Birmingham Mir. Bradley is emnenty well qualified for this business, having been intimate ly identified with the business interests of this community for nearly twenty years. He has been frequently called upon by the courts in important cases to appraise the value of property on account of his familiarity with real estate values in this community.
 Mr. Bradley's past record as a business man is too we'll and favorably known to need comment.
