A Reliable Barometer.

Here is a homemade barometer
with which anybody can be his own
weather prophet. 1t is used largely
in England, and it's success in herald
ing the approach Of storms is vouched
for. Here is the way to make 1t:
Get a common glass pickle bottle
and fill it with water to within two
inches of the top. Then place an emp
ty salad oil flask mouth downward in
to the bottle. Nothing could be more
simple. The water in the neck Of the
flask will rise or fall according to the
state of the weather.
Should the water rise in the flask 1t
is an indication of fine weather. When
the water is entirely out Of the flask
one may we'll look for very wet wealth
er, and when the water in the neck Of
the flask rises above the water in the
bottle it indicates "set fair" A man
who made some of these barometers
for himself says:

Al ADinal Story For
Little Folks
- Why the
Little Pig Was Whipped

Did you ever hear the story about
the little pig who ate his big sisters
dinner? I know you have not. for the
story has never been told.
Well. there was a little pig who loved
to tease his sister, just as many and
many q boy loves to tease his sisters.
Now, this little pig had one sister
who was very particular about her
manners. which, you will admit was
an excellent trait. She wouldn't think
Of sitting down to meal without a
nice clean apron on. At the dinner
hour she would hurry to her room,
fasten on her apron and then 60 to the
trough in which her food was served.
"Why is it that you only half fill my
trough" asked she Of her mother.
II always fill it." was the reply.
"But 1t is always only half full" de-
clared the little pigs sister.
And the little pig laughed, for he
knew very well why the trough was
only half full. Whenever he saw bis
sister start of to get her apron he

Now, Would You?

If you were figuring on entering
business contract with a man Whom
you had known for years, and in whom
you had the utmost confidence, and the
contract was to- cover period or
years, would you allow him to prepare
the contract without any suggestions
from you and sign 1t without knowing
what 1t contained? Now, would you?
Life insurance companies write their
contracts without a. word of sugges-
ton from the man who becomes the
party of the second part" The man,
however, has the privilege Of reading
them before he gives up his cash" If
he so desires, but most men, strange
to say, accept them without knowing
whether or not they are so written as
to meet every condition likely to arise
In a manner favorable to the insured.
Some contracts are LIBERAL some more
so, while others, when analyzed, are
found not to mean what the agent told
me-" It has always, since the first
contract was written in 1S45, been the
creed Of the Mutual Benefit Life In
surance Company not to issue any
contract that did not mean exactly
what it appeared to the layman to
mean and to protect every interest of
the insured under any and all circum-
stances, consistent with the pany's
fixed determination to do exact justice
to every member, whether he knew his
rights or not. Don't you believe, In
fact, don't you know, that II Is to your
interest to Investigate the contracts of
such company?

AS Now PRESENTED In WASHING
roN.-Committeeman Robinson OF
North Carolina, who refused to sit at
Senator Hanna's dinner Saturday
evening because a negro committee
man was also one Of the guests, used
to be a Judge Of the Tar Heel state.
Cope Elias, an attorney Of considera-
BILE reputation in those parts, once ap-
peared in a case before him.
Robinson's mind was fully made up
concerning the judgment to be render
ed, and he accordingly informed Elias
that no argument was necessary.
Notwithstanding this, Elias began to
argue. Judge Robinson again inform
ed him that he need not continue, but
again his word was not needed.
Sheriff." said the judge, calling that
official to his desk, have you any cot
ton hereabouts?"
The sheriff allowed that there were
several bales Of cotton outside the
court house, and, complying with in
structions, he brought the judge a
handful of the fluffy staple. The judge
stuffed a wad of it in each Of his ears,
gathered up the legal papers on his
desk, and beginning to carefully read
them, observed:

When the subject Of these water

will be weighed down by the weight OF
a column Of atmosphere, and, Of course,
the water will be forced up in the neck
