perience of mine when | was a boy. An
old fellow caught me lifting a water
melon in his patch one afternoon, and

led me home by the ear to my ma and
told her what had been up to-
Your grandma had been raised on the
old fashioned plan, and she had never
heard of these newfangled theories of
reasoning gently with a child till its
under lip begins to stick out and its
eyes to fill with tears as it sees the err
ror of its ways. She fetched the tears
all right, but she did it with a trunk
strap or slipper. And your grandma
was pretty substantial woman. Moth

through | knew that I'd been licked
polished right off to a point-and then
she sent me to my room and told me
not TO poke my nose out of it till |

and the Sunday school lesson by heart.
There was whole chapter of it, and
an Old Testament chapter at that, but

TALK
Have Something to Say, Say 1t.
Then Stop
From Letters From Self Made Mer-
chant to His SON." by George
Horace L0rimer

Dear Pierrcpont-YOurs of the 4th
has the right ring, and it says more to
the number of words used than any
letter that | have ever received from
some fellows use language to conceal
thought, but it's been my experience
that a good many more use it instead
of thought.
A business mans converse ton should
be regulated by fewer and simpler
rules than any other function of the
human animal. They are:
Have something to say.
Say it.
Stop talking
Beginning before you know what you
want to say and keeping on after you
have said it lands a merchant in a law
suit or the poorhouse, and the first is a
short cut to the second. | maintain a

ner to run conversation like Sunday
school excursion, with stops to pick
flowers, but in the office your sentences
should be the shortest distance possible
between periods. Cut out the introduce
ton and the peroration and stop be-
fore you get to secondly. You've got to
preach short sermons to catch sinners,
and deacons won't believe they need
long ones themselves. Give fools the
first and women the last word. The
meats always in the middle of the
sandwich OF course little butter ON
either side OF it doesn't do any harm if
it's intended for man who likes but

Remember, too, that it's easier to
look wise than to talk wisdom. Say
less than the other fellow and listen
more than you talk, for when a mans
listening he isn't telling on himself and
he's flattering the fellow who is. Give
most men a good listener and most wo.
men enough note paper and they'll tell
all they know.

Russia continues to be deeply
panied that her benevolent intentions
i'll Manchuria' should have been so bad
ly misunderstood, and Secretary Hay
has assured Count Lamsdorff, the Rus
sian foreign minister, of his great
regret that the mistake should have
occurred. This is quite according to
the rules of the game and deceives no
one, least of all the players concerned.
Meanwhile, China has refused to grant
the concessions which Russia did not
ask" At any rate, Russia may con-
graduate herself on having discovered
the feeling of the powers toward her
permanent occupation of Manchuria.
Nevertheless the paw of the bear that
walks like man" continues to rest
heavily upon portion of the Celestial
empire, and there are no apparent in
dications of its removal either in the
near or distant future.

The Salonika Bank Explosion.

An interesting and significant phase
Of the Balkan question was the recent
outbreak in Salonika, in which the OF
toman bank, post Office and other build
lngs were blown up by explosives. The
event recalls similar affair in Con-
stantinople in 1895. On Aug. 20 Of that
year a number Of men entered the Of
toman bank, carrying sacks which ap-
peared to contain coin for deposit.
When twenty-six Of them had assem-
bled they began to fire revolvsrs and
explode hand grenades. They We're
members of an Armenian secret society
which had planned this demonstration
as means of arousing the interference
of the powers for the settlement Of the
entire Armenian problem. officials of
the bank fed to an upper room and bar
ricaded themselves. The revolutionists
held the building till the following day,
when, through the mediation of the
British ambassador, they surrendered
OH condition that they be escort y. on
board ship and permitted to leave the
country in safety. They did not dis
turb any of the treasure in the bank.
While the plot was in itself remark
ably successful, the penalty paid for it
was a terrible one. No sooner had the
news Of the attack spread through the
city than enraged mobs of Mussulmans
began to hunt down Armenians wher-
ever they could be found. Rioting and
disorders continued for~three days, the
military and police joining in the mas
sacre of innocent Armenians. The for
fully 1900 Armenians were killed,
while other estimates placed the num-
Der as high as 10000.
The Salonika outbreak was unques-
tionably planned by Macedonian revo-
lutionists in imitation of the CONSTANT
nOple demonstration AS in that in
stance, no treasure was taken from the
exploded bank. The recognized pur-
pose Of the Macedonian revolutionists
at Salonika, like the Armenians in Con-
stantinople in 1895, was to arouse the
European powers to the point of inter-
vention. AS the Constantinople affair
failed to stir the powers to action, SO II

will not produce the desired interven-

leaders, while shedding an interesting

while he was in New York few days
ago Mr. Farson, the Chicago banker, cas-
ually said that he would give Sl.UOOOO Tor
q model servant girl. His remark was
quoted in a New York paper, and It is re-
ported that Mr.. Farson is now in hiding.
But this may be mere rumor.I
From north. east, south and west they
came,
The lean, the stout, the blind, the lame;
Their query always was the same,
where, oh, where's John FarsonT'
A stately dame, whose face was fair,
Who wore a rosebud in her hair,
Cried out in accents rich and rare:
"Where, oh, where's John Farson?
eve never cooked a meal, but l. y
she said "am here prepared to try"
Then rose once more her plaintiVe cry
where, oh. where is Farson?'
A stoutish maid whose hair was red
In tones that were decisive said:
"In cook his meat and bake his bread!
Where is Mr.. Farson?
81 want that million, so I do;
/ need the job; I'll have it tool
I'm here to sign with him, hooroo!
-. Where is Mr.. Farson?'
A maiden who was tall and slim
And who had little corkscrew curls
Cried out: 1--WE come to work for him!
III be the modelest Of girls!
Where Is Mr.. Farson2
'T'n make his home so glad, so bright:
III bring him back his appetite;
His meals shall fill him with delight;
Where. oh, where is Farson|'
A dainty, modest little miss,
The kind a man would fight to kiss,
Said sweetly: kindly tell me this:
Where Is Mr. Farson?
'Tve left my happy home" said she.
i've given up society
And come in answer to his plea.
Where 10 Mr.. Farson?"
A deep brunette from Tennessee
Cried: I'm his honey! Sholy he
Won't take no othah gal but me.
Whah is Mistah Fahson?
81 wants dat million mighty bad,
Glory halleluia o!
De way / cook will make him glad:
Go home; yo' all don stand no show;
Whah is Mistah Fahson?"
A South Dakota widow sighed
And said: THE meals that I'll provide
Will fill the dear mans soul with pride;
Where, oh, where's John Farson2
with dainty hands I'll broil his steak.
III make him glad with jelly cake,
And, oh, the pies that shall bake!
Where is Mr.. Farson2'
All, where, oh, where was Farson while
They madly surged around the door
That he saw not the widows smile
The frown the red haired lady wore?
Where, oh, where was Farson?
Lean and stout and white and black
They waited there all day, alack
And always echo answered back,
"Where. oh, where is Farson?"
