President Mckinley used to tell with
a good deal of amusement a STORY
which related to his early days in the
law, says the Youths Companion. On
the way to and from his office he was
accustomed to pass a butchers shop,
and for a long time was puzzled by a
certain notice which he saw there.
In the morning he would read, Good
pork sausages 20 cents" On his re-
turn in the evening he would sometimes
find those sausages still 20 cents a
pound, but more often the notice was
changed and the sign read: Fine pork
sausages 12"-or sometimes 10-"cents" +"
The matter. he said, used to worry
him. Sausages were not of so perisha-
bic j nature that they would not keep
till the next day, and he could not
understand it. So one evening, he
stopped at the shop, made some casual
remark, and then inquired the price of
sausages.
Ten cents" said the shopkeeper.
But" replied Mr. Mckinley, "they
were 20 cents this morning"
So they were, Mr.. Mckinley" re-
p,!ed the butcher. $50 they were
Then / had EN-, now I haven't. Sau-
saees at 10 cents is simply to get me
a reputation for cheapness. See?''
The future President saw, and was in
the habit of saying that a great many
regulations were made in that way.

Here is the story, says the Washing
ton Post, of the sailor who did not
want to be drowned in fresh water as
spoken into the Capital Chat graphic
phone by Senator George C. Perkins,
of California, in the marble room of
the Capitol, Washington, D. c.
Il had quit the sea and was mining
and merchandising up in the noun
tains of California. One day, while
was navigating a mule down narrow
trail, l met man and a mule COM
ing up 'Luff there I said, shouting
out nautical term for a clear road.

We became great friends, the love
OF the sea making up shipmates on
land. Well, in course of time there
came a great flood and our camp was
isolated. The water flowed all around
our butte. Provisions-fiour, bacon.

came necessary to get to the nearest
civilization. So Downs and l made a
punt-a little fiat-bottomed boat with
hlgh sides to keep out the swash-and
we started out upon the raging cur
rent We took some thing to eat and a
demiJohn of whisky. 1 didn't drink
anything and Downs drank enough for
two. By the time we had run down the
river some five or six miles Downs
was in an unmanageable condition. He
sat up in the bow of the little craft
and declared he would be drowned.
Keep quiet I shouted to him.

peated, and 1 don't want to be

Secretary Shaw will be the story
teller of the administration as soon as
he gets into harness. He illustrates
most Of his propositions by anecdotes,
says the Washington correspondence
of the Philadelphia North American.
To-day a visitor was complaining of
man out West who had made a
lot of money by accident and at the
expense of worthier men.
1T seems shame that such an ass
should get so rich" said the visitor.
THAT reminds me-" said Secretary
Shaw, 'of man / heard of out in
Iowa. He was playing seven-up one
night with some friends, and although
he was a good seven-up player he
could not win a game.

Drifting With the Tide

from the Denver Post,
drifting, drifting with the tide down
the stream of life,
some days peaceful as a dream. some
with troubles rife,
Pleasures ripple DER the breast of the
waters deep,
storms of pain stir up the waves +,n
they wildly leap;
Skies to-day are fair and blue. smiling
Ger our heads.
stars at night peep forth as gems
from their azure beds.
On the morrow threatening clouds loose
the tempest's breath
AS we drift adown the stream to the
port of Death.
Drifting, drifting with the tide. down
the stream of life,
Some days cloudless and serene. Others
rent with strife:
Often song and laughter blend as we
float along.
Then the moaning notes of pain drown
the notes of song;
storm and sunshine, gale and calm,
thus the story goes,
Pleasures cheer us for day but to end
in woes.
Sorrow blights the flowers of 10Y with
its withering breath.
AS we drift adown the stream to the
port of Death.
When we sight the harbor lights of the
port below,
Some will welcome them with Joy, some
with trembling woe;
Some Will see a haven Of rest, free from
sigh or tear,
some will gaze into the past thrilled
with nameless fear:
Visions of a misspent life, broken laws
of God.
VIII before full many rise DER the path
they've trod.
Others will review their lives as n
pleasant dream,
As we near the beacon lights twinklinR
down the stream.

1yDEPENDENCE FOR FILIPINos.

The question has been raised as to
whether Secretary Long spoke for the
President and the Republican party
in his speech at Boston on Wednesday
night in what he said about the Phil
ippines. The sum and substance of
his remarks on that subject were that
the Philippines We're now a trust, which
would be executed by the United States
when a stable government had been
established in the islands and the ma
tives taught to govern themselves.
When that time comes it would be for
the Filipinos to decide whether they
would be an independent people or oc-
cupy such relation to the United
States as Canada occupies to Great
Britain.
President Roosevelt said almost as
much as that in his message to Con-
gress. He said. in effect, that it was
our purpose to help the Fillpinos along
the stony and difficult path to self
government-to make them fit for self
government after the fashion of really
free nations.
II IL pIObdDIt lndt the HepuDl1Can
party hasn't decided upon a policy yet
in respect to the Philippines, except
that the Filipinos must accept Ameri-
can rule before anything is determined
in regard to their future status. Some
of the Republican leaders favor holding
The Islands as permanent possession,
and others think the Filipinos should be
given their independence as soon rs
they have been prepared for it. 1t may
turn out that the Republican party will
not have the deciding of the question
as to what shall be done with the ISL
ands. In view of the fact that neither
paAy wants independence granted to
the Filiptnos at once. and neither party
would vote to withdraw our troops
and leave the islands in their present
condition, much of the talk in the SEN
ate on the Philippine question is point
less and useless.

THEY ARE COMING no GEoRcIA,

The- marked increase in the popu-
iation of Lower Georgia during the
past ten years. as shown by the cen
sus' IS one of the most encouraging
signs OF the times 1t shows that
there is stream of new -comers pour
ing into this favored section where
balmy weather characterizes all of the
seasons and where Mother Earth
yields her plenty with the least hu-
man labor. The flow having set this
way strongly, there is reason for think
ing it will continue indefinitely. to the
very great advantage of all con-
cerned.
The railroads, turpentine farms and
saw-mills have been the pioneers that
nave opened up the rich lands for ag-
ricultural purposes, and wealth-pro-
ducing crops of cotton, corn, sugar
cane, rice, fruits and so on. in almost
endless variety. now reward the till
ers of the acres that a few years ago
We're covered with forest growths.
Farms and fruit orchards on what
were formerly pine barrens' and low
lands in Lower Georgia are now max
ing their intelligent and thrifty hus-
bandmen dependent. Should the new
corners follow the example of those
settlers to whom we refer, and no
doubt they WILL another decade will
see Lower Georgia among the most
prosperous parts of the great republic.
II not indeed the most prosperous of
them all. The towns that have already
felt the benefits of the increase in
population of the past ten years will
become cities. and the centers of large
and productive populations. Their
commerce will be made great and
profitable by the trade that will come
from the fruitful fields and humming
factories.
In the coming good times of in
creased population, increased busi-
ness and increased prosperity the ma
tive Georglans will have large share
of the profit. 1t should be their pleas
ure, therefore. to help the movement
along whenever it is possible for them
to do so. Many of them are land
owners with acres they would like
to SELL The prices of the lands
should be kept within reason; no fancy
prices should be charged. No doubt
there are great many instances in
which merely nominal price put upon
lands, for the purpose of attracting
honest, thrifty white settlers, would
be in the nature Of a good investment,
since well TILED and profitable farms
inevitably increase values in their
community Land owners should
meet home seekers half way" or a
little better. BY doing so they will
serve their state and themselves at
the same time.

COTTONSEEU PRODUCTS

me cottonSeed manufacturing busi-
ness, which now annually turns out
products worth upwards of $42. 900, 600
is practically the growth of about
thirty years. 1t is true that an At
tempt at extracting oil from cot
tonseed was made at Natchez. Miss.
as far back as 1884, but hardly more
than promises ever came of it. There
were desultory efforts in the same
direction for many years, but it was
not until 1S71-72 that a profitable
method of extracting the oil began to
attract attention. Since that time the
production has steadily increased un-
til now we are manufacturing more
than 53 per cent. of the cottonseed
crop into oil and the various by-pro>
ducts. And it is interesting to note
how numerous the products and bv-
products of the cottonseed have be-
come. The four main products of the
seed are meats, hulls, linters and
waste. From the meats are derived
crude oil, cake and meal and from
these latter two, fertilizers and cattle
mer yellow oil, soap stock, soap, cot
tonseed stearin, butter a., salad oil,
lard and cottolene, summer white oil
and miners OIL From the hulls are
derived fuel, ashes, fertilizer, fiber.
paper and cattle feed: from the lint
ers, cotton batting. the variety of
these products bids fair to be extend
ed, since number of chemists are
experimenting for the purpose of ex>
tracing the gummy substance from
the crude oil. Should they succeed in
doing so, it is said. they would procure
probably a substitute for India rubber
and make the cottonseeo oil valuable
for lubricating purposes.
The census bureau has just issued
a bulletin showing that in 1900 nearly
$500, 900 tons of cottonseed were man
ufactured. The cost of the seed. at an
average of $11.55 per ton, was $2S, 6s2,-
GIG, while the value of the products
was $42, All 1886. The value of the seed
had been increased 4S.1 per cent by
manufacture. Following the calcula-
ton further, it As shown that the value
of the entire seed crop at the average
price stated was $54, 677, or 1873 per
cent. of the total value of the cotton
crop, including the value of the seed.
Had all of the seed been manufac-
tured the products would have been
equal in value to 20.4 per cent. of the
total value of the cotton crop, and
more than s3S, 900 would have been
added to the wealth of the South. In
all probability the time is not far dis
tant when pretty nearly the entire cot
tonseed crop will find its way to the
mill.
1t is rather surprising to note that
France, which is really the home of
the olive grove. is our best customer
for cottonseed oil. During the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1900, she took
from us nearly 1860 900 gall
Ions of oil, worth more than
A075,OO0. The next best buy
ers of cottonseed oil. i'm the order
named, are the Netherlands. Austria
Hungary, Mexico and Italy-the latter
also a great olive oil country. Consul
Skinner at Marseilles, France, some
months ago wrote to the State Depart
ment that refined cottonseed oil was
rapidly gaining in favor in France and
threatened seriously the olive oil busi-
ness.
