The Driver Knew Him.

1t Is related Of the late Bret Harte
that he was once travelling through a
mountainous region by coach. His seat
was next to the drivers, and 1t &C.
CURED to him to entertain that func-
tionary and incidentally his fellow
passengers by narrating a series of
hair raising episodes in. the coaching
history Of the wild west.
With mischievous ingenuity he cal
culated each tale SO cleverly that its
bloodcurdling climax was reached at
q particularly bad bit of road, thus
forcing present peril to heighten the
effect of imagined adventure. At first
the adventures were not imagined; they
were true stories, but the widening
eyes and breathless interest of his au-
dience was too great a temptation, and
he soon began to improvise his own
fictitious hero, Yuba Bill, and other
wondrous whips of equal power were
pressed into service; Indians, land
slides, holdups, billiards, broken
bridges. forest fires and runaways were
sprinkled in to taste, and the result

Too Long.

An old lady of his flock once called
upon DR.. Gill with a grievance. The
doctors neckbapds were too long for
her ideas of ministerial humility, and
after a long harangue on the sin of
pride she intimated that she had
brought a pair of scissors with her
and would be pleased if her dear pas
tor would permit her 10 cut them down
to her notions of propriety.
The doctor not only listened patient
ly, but handed over the offending white
bands to be operated upon. When she
had cut them to her satisfaction and
returned the bibs. it was the doctor
turn.
Now" said he, you must do me a
good turn Also"
''Yes, that will. doctor. What can
1t beY'
well, you have something about
you which Is deal too long and which
causes me no end of trouble, and l
should like to see it shorter"
Indeed, dear sir, will not hesitate.
What is It? Here are the scissors.
Use them as you please"
Come. then" said the sturdy divine,

A Little S.rmOn to Business Girls

A Little St rmOn to Business Girls.
Time is another thing the business
girl must learn the value Of Five
minutes is but small fraction of an
hour, but suppose dozen employees
in an establishment lose five minutes
every morning. 1t amounts for the
employer to the loss of nearly a days
time of one clerk every week. These
matters of service and time are errors
into which young employees are apt
to fall before they learn better
Another is an inharmonions relation
ship among each other. 1t is COM
mon saying among business men that
where number of girls are employed
there is sure to be quarrelling, and I
am forced tn admit that my expert
ence confirms the assertion. The ex-
plaDation of this is not that women
are more quarrelsome than men, but
women have been so long isolated in
their individual homes from constant
everyday association with one another
that they have not yet learned to bear
and forbear in a crowd as they do at
home. This explanation is borne out
by the fact that women who have long
been in public life, who have seen
the world and mingled with many
people habitually work together quite
as harmoniously as do men.-House-

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years 1t has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re.
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

How the American Interests May
BE Safeguarded.
How the commercial interests Of the
United States in Manchuria may be
safeguarded against future interna-
tional complications and orr trade fl
that country maintained and increased
Is told In a report received ut the state
department in Washington from Unit
ed States Consul Miller at Newchwang.
He says that Russia IN the end will
practically dominate the commercial
and Industrial affairs Of Manchuria IN
less other countries have in every way
equal facilities. American trade In
Manchurla today consists principally Of
cotton goods, kerosene and flour and
largely in excess Of that Of any other
country 1t Is estimated that our ex-
ports to Manchuria will equal 100000
taels, or 50 per cent Of all foreign inn
ports. In order that this commercial
supremacy may be maintained Consul
Miller has made the following recon-
mendation to the department:

Second. That the Washington gov

Third.-That new consul general be
added to the American consular sery-
ice, its head to be known as the Unit

ria.
Foreign imports into Manchuria have
increased during the past ten years at
a rate ranging from 100 to 500 per cent
