There are people who will tell you that the seemsilk has some excuse; that he thinks he Is the real thing. But he doesn't Take my word for 1t. deep down in his heart he knows he Is noth- ing but a miserable seomsilk and is content to remain so because 1t is cas- fer than being the real thing. That's the trouble If 1t were an unconscious phase or If he were merely in state of progression one wouldn't mind. He knows he isn't the real thing. but he doesn't think you have the brains to know 1t. It's an insult to ones intelh- gence. Your seemsilk man tries all of the stunts of the real goods. He can't afford to go to a swell gambling house. but he will juggle with 5 cents of his miserable salary at a little basement poolroom instead of waiting for that sort of thing until he has the salary to fit.

 But 1t was good thing he went. He would have driven me to desperation. He himself would have dwindled to a skeleton. Bless his heart, though, Some girl will have a treasure, thanks to me. When you gazed on his honest face you said to yourself. Here Is q man in whom there is no guile" and when you tried to make him under stand some peculiarly caviare and com plex mood of yours you said the same thing-with a sigh. Good old Ponto. He always worships you because he doesn't understand you. and he always thinks he does, and that you are the only one who doesn't understand your self.

His attention had been attracted to 1t by the wind having blown the pages open so that the regularly arranged series of stamps were brought in view.
 Well. it was as nicely arranged and complete a set of stamps as one could wish. and there were about 12.000 va rieties. The series of United States postage stamps was almost complete. with the exception of a few of the very rare specimens. There were also full set of CaCnadians. a number of rare Hawaiians, and one black twelve penny Canadian stamp, catalogued at $500. slightly imperfect, but which nevertheless was worth at the least $50.
 T asked how much he wanted for the book. He said he didn't know, but if I wouldn't make him. an offer he would go to see a friend of his who knew something about stamps, and that he would call the next day.
 T pressed him to tell me how much he wanted, and he finally blurted out. 'one hundred dollars just as a feeler. I pooh-poohed the Idea of such a sum. and after a lot of haggling at last bought the lot for $50"

 There is no work too hard for the all silk man; there Is no play too high. The big things are not for others; they and the work that goes with them are for him.

COTTON MILL FOR JACKSON.
The Town Now Assured of a Splendid
 New Industry.

Jacksonville, May 1s.--(speciaI)- Friday last the stockholders of the Ide cotton mill. at this place. elected offi- cers and a new board of directors as follows: J. E. Henry, President: J. w. Hawke. vice-Prcsident George P Ide. E. Henry, J. w. Hawke, George P. Ide. T.. K. Quimby. L.. w, Grant. John F. Rowan. Waiter Dean. P. L.. Stevenson and Frank !. Burke.
 The directors were instructed by the stockholders to buy machinery and be- Rfn the erection of an eleven thousand spindle mill at once, so as to have the plant in operation by the time the new cotton crop comes in. A contract has already been let for the manufacture of million and a half brick on the grounds of the mill company; and the assembling of the material for the mill building and operatives houses has al- ready begun.
 The mill will be entirely, new throughout and up to date in every particular. In the construction of the houses for the operatives an eye will be had to the artistic effect as we'll as the convenience and comfort of the occupants. Ample ground will be al- lowed to each house for lawn, garden and outbuildings The Alabama In- vestment Company, successor of the Jacksonville Mining and Manufactur- ing Company, has donated to the mill company forty acres of land immedi- afeiy along the lines cf the Southern and the Seaboard Air Line railroads at this place. a location admirable for a mill site and . very valuable property.
 The capital for the mill has been raised at Jacksonville and country im- mediately contiguous and in the East ern States. Tn order to quiet litiga- ton in the old land company and thus secure site for the mill the Alabama xnyestment Company composed wholly of residents of Jacksonville, was form ed. This company took over the prop erty of the old land company and do- mated the site to the mill company. In subscriptions to the stock of the new land company and the cotton mill the citizens of Jacksonville have contrib uted between eighty and ninety thou sand dollars: circumstance which speaks well for the prosperity of this section of the State.
