A family In the southern part of the
city employed what they believed to be
household jewel" For a few days
she proved to be all that they had an
ticipated, and everything went smooth
ly. One day, however, the husband
came down to breakfast and made the
announcement that they must get rid
Of the new girl.
"Why, John, you must be crazy" said
his wife with amazement. "She's the
best girl we ever had, so respectful and
q fine cook"
"That makes no difference. She isn't
honest"
"Oh, well, We'll never miss loaf of
bread once in awhile. Her folks may
need it more than we do.'
"That isn't it. Early this morning l
saw her creep into our room, go to my
pocket, take my pocketbook and empty
it,
"Oh, well, dear, perhaps it's force Of
habit; you know she's been married.

Valuable Special knowledge.


The unique botanical knowledge OF
Sir George Birdwood, one of the most
erudite men in the India service, once
enabled him to perform almost uncon-
sciously a neat bit of detective work.
He was in Bombay when he was
asked to investigate the case or
young nobleman who in applying to
the governor for an appointment repre-
scented that he was just out from Eng
land and that his letters Of introduce
ton had been lost on the voyage.
A few days after DR.. Birdwood, as he
then was, had undertaken the investi-
cation he met the young nobleman at
dinner at the governors house. The ia
BILE decorations of orchids suggested d
conversational opening. and DR.. Bird
woods praise drew from the young no.
bleman standing opposite:
"You should see the Amherstia nobi-
lis in its native woods, sir"
1t was a fatal remark.
"You come from Rangoon, thenv' in
stantly exclaimed DR.. Birdwood.
The pale face, the silence that could
be felt, the request of the young man
that he might leave the table, all pre-
pared the governor and the company
for the subsequent discovery that he
had absconded from Rangoon with
some public funds

How Bright Joined Golden

John Bright's account of how he
and Richard Golden came to join
forces against the corn laws early in
the last century is as follows: II was
in the depths of grief, 1 might also say
of despair, for the light and sunshine
of my house had been extinguished.
All that was left on earth of my life
and of too brief happiness was lying
still and cold in the chamber above us.
Mr.. Golden called upon me, and, hav-
ing expressed words of coincidence,
said: There are thousands of houses
in England at this moment where
wives, mothers and children are dying
Of hunger. Now, when the first parox-
ysm of your grief is past L would ad
wise You to come with me and we will
newer rest till the corn law is repealed
The offer was accepted and the work
was done"

They Paid the Price.

The corporation of the city of Glas-
gov wanted to purchase the Whistler
portrait of Carlyle and in due course
waited ON the master of the gentle art
Of making enemies about the price
Q,0OO guineas). They admitted it was
magnificent picture, but do you
not think, Mr.. Whistler, the sum a
wee, wee bit excessivew
Didn't you know the price before
you came to me?" asked the master
with suspicious blandness.
''Oh, aye, we knew that" replied the
corporation.
Every we'll, them" said Mr.. Whistler
in his suavest tones, let's talk Of
something else" And as there was
nothing else of interest to detain the
Corporation" they paid the price and
trust Glaswegian-made an excellent
bargain.

Grammar and Writing.

One day Julian Hawthorne was COM
plimenting q certain writer on his
wonderful facility in his handling Of
words and in his construction of sen
fences. "You are a master Of phrases"
said the novelist, with a twinkle, and
then added:
How do you do it, anyhow
II don't know" replied the writer.
"You see, have forgotten all that
ever learned at school except that the
proposition governs the objective case.
To save my life l couldn't tell you the
difference between the present tense
and predicate. / write by ear and
don't know any more about grammar
than a cockroach knows about paint
ing roses on jugs"
That's all right, my boy, that's all
right" said Hawthorne dryly. 'sNo
man who's a purist and a master of
style ever knows anything about gram
mar"

1T isn't often that we have faith
enough in the medicine put up by other
people to be willing TO offer TO refund
the money if it does not cure" said
Wilson Bros. to Reporter man who
dropped into their store, "but we are
glad to sell Dr. Howard's specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia on
that basis.
"The Howard Company, in order to
get quick Introductory sale, authorizes
us to sell their regular fifty cent bottles

have sold a lot of it, and have guaran-
teed every package. not one has been
brought back as unsatisfactory.
One great advantage of this specific"
he continued, lis its small dose and con-
venient form There are sixty doses in
a vial that can be carried in the vest
pocket or purse, and every one has more
medicinal power than big pill or tablet
or a tumbler of mineral water.
"We are still selling the specific at
half price. although we cannot tell how
long we shall be able to do so, and any.
one who is subject to constipation, sick
headache, dizziness, liver trouble, indi,

Nor Consider the Proposed Petition Rela-
two to the kischenef Atrocity--
This Seems Official.

Washington, July lit is learned
that the state department has received
a reply from Russia stating that it
neither will receive nor consider the
matter of the Jewish petition on the
subject of the Kischeneff incident. This
information came in the form of ca
blegram from Riddle, the United States
charge at st. Petersburg, to whom
was committed the delicate task of
inQui:ing of the Russian government
as to its attitude with respect to the
presentation of the petition.
1t is believed that this will end the
matter, and that no further steps will
be taken by this government to bring
the views of the petitioners to the at
tention of Russia, although as yet no
consideration has been given by the
president to the course to be pursued
in the light of Russia's response to our
inquiry

The SlipshOd Way.

Those who do not intend to cut their
corn or who have delayed the cutting
until it is too late, will propably slip
chuck it, crib it and let the weevils eat
the best of it. Then they will be so
short of feed for n few months that
the hogs will be poor, the cows dry
up, and the plow teams will not be
strong enough to do any good plowing,
and as result next years crops will
be short. But why grumble about
short crops when that which is grown
is one-third left in the field, and of the
balance large portion is eaten by
weevils? Enough bi-sulphide Of car
bon to protect an entire crib full by
killing gevery insect in it might cost
half dollar. There will be a better
use for every bushel of corn saved
than feeding weevils. Where weevils
prevail, as is the case over half of
Texas at least, few punches of rags
the size of a large peach. saturated
with the bi-sulphide and thrust into
the corn a foot or so below the surface,
will do the work. 1t is more satisfac-
tory than the old way of wetting the
corn, for while water enough will keep
out the weevil, it will damage the corn
more or less.-Farm and Ranch.

Not the Fault of the Farm.

We hear a great deal about "old
rundown farms" Whole sections OF
country have been almost ruined ag,
riculturally by the exhaustion of the
fertility of the FARMS In the south
west this has occurred-rarely, it is
true, but we know farms in Texas that
have been abandoned because the own
er could no longer subsist upon the
yield of the once fairly fertile soil.
This result is not the fault of the
farm, but of the farmer. One can not
continue Indefinitely to grow. crops
and sell them without depicting the
land. If farmer don't know this,
he should quit farming and go into
some other business more consistent
with his capacity. No man has right
to bankrupt his farm, and make bar
rem waste of it. 1t is fact that some
men have too little capacity TO farm.
They might make able hodcarriers or
ditch diggers, but are beyond their
depth when they undertake to farm.
A competent farmer will so manage
his business that his farm will become
more productive every year, for there
is where the profit lies.-Farm and
Ranch
