Convenient Deafness.

John Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers, was recently a guest of the Glover Club
of Philadelphia. It is the rule of this organlza-
ton, says the New York Tribune, to call upon its
guests to speak, and then to confuse them with
interpolated remarks. But Mr.. Mitchell could not
be confused, and the only notice he took of the
gibes was to say:
"I guess [ could get along better with my
speech here if [ we're deaf. It is often a good
thing to be deaf. There is a deaf old woman
[ know up in the coal regions.
"Once l went to see this woman, and she
asked me to stay to tea. I thanked her and said
[ would, as I was not expected home before dark.
She had been hearing pretty well up to this point,
but now she got very deaf all of a sudden. She
had to ask her daughter what | had said.
"He said, mother exclaimed the daughter,
that he thanks you, but he can't stay, as he is ex-
pected home before dark
"At this the old woman looked relieved, and I
departed"

Senator Clark and the Barber.

A little anecdote told by the New York Times
shows the business. methods adhered to by United
States Senator W. A. Clark, the multi -millionarie
mine-owner, banker, and manufacturer. The
story is as follows:
Upon his return from the East the Senator
visited a BARRIERS shop for the purpose of having
his hair trimmed. He inquired for a certain bar
Der, whose ability had been recommended to the
Senator by his son Charles W.
Upon the completion of the job the Senator
inquired the amount of his bill, whereupon the
tonsorial artist calmly replied:
"Charley usually gives me S."
The Senator was taken by surprise, but regain
ing his wits, asked: "But what is the usual
charge for such a serviceY'
FIFTY cents" responded the barber.
"Well," said Senator Clark, with a smile, "Char-
ley has a rich father and I have not" whereupon
he handed the barber fifty cents and departed.

He Kept His Vow.

From an anecdote told by William Eleroy Cur
tbs in his yankees of the East" it may be in
ferred that the attitude of the small boy toward
a fence is the same in Japan as in other coun-
tries.
Mr.. Gobel, the missionary, built himself a mod
ern house on what is known as "The Bluff" south
of Yokohama, and surrounded his grounds with
the first fence that was ever built in that part
of the world. 1t was made of bamboo pailings,
and the boys of the neighborhood used to annoy
the good missionary greatly by rafting sticks
against it as they ran along the street.
The British admiral lived just above him, and
had a very nattN Tommy Atkins for an orderly.
He wore a little round cap on the northeast corner
of his head, and always carried a little cane of
rattan in his hand. One morning, having been
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-05-24

sent with a message, he appeared before the ad-
miral with his face bruised and his uniform bat
tered and torn and covered with dust.
Mercy on us p exclaimed the admiral, IN as
constituent at the spectacle. "What has happened
to youY
eli beg your ~parding, sir" replied Tommy,
"but as hi was coming along hup the i'll a-rubbing

the land. That is a criminal error. The first lady
In the land, everybody who has any culcha knows,
is the consort of the Chief Justice. This next
chapter treats fully of who ought to go in ahead
of which at dinner, and tells you whether you
should eat your hominy with a fork, spoon, or
knife. After seats have been taken, you are e-
pected to crystalize a smile and chew the vinegar
ed lettuce with the contented expression of a
yearling with his shuck. Now, counting is a very
delicate occupation. There are married people, /
dare swear, in this rural community, who, if they
read this book, would recognize the horrible blum
der they committed in love-making, would sue for
a divorce, and begin again. For instance, when
the lover kissed the lady over her protest, he
simply played thunder" And so on.
A book agent hardly ever fogets It's speech.
One exception occurred in our own smiling vii
lage. Our citizen, Judge Neal, in the days of IL
quor glory, was one day walking down the street,
when a man popped out of a bar-room with the
Bible looking Glass in hand. 1t halted Judge
Neal and went at once to the main thing. The
reader will have to imagine the ludicrous scene
when 1t forgot It's speech. "Mr. Neal" It said,
speaking like the flow of a stream; "this is the
greatest work of modern ages; it's comments make
clear, obscure points, it's pictures illustrate the
manners and customs of Bible times and lands,
the. old stories are retold herein so as to be COM
prehensible to youth, the antediluvian compila-
ton of the generation of phenomena, piscatory,
avicular, and Observation-Disclosures and eth
-eth-oh, blast them people! I told 'em I'd
d~isremember some of this-mess!"
But the book agent is no laughing matter. It
has troubles of It's own.
Think how, being unwed, It must sit in the
moonlight, on some strange piazza and hold Its
own hand. Think how the dust of the roadway
gets into It's brogans, sometimes along with a
stray pebble. Think how It's celluloid collar must
appropriation at laying-by time
when you and / are sleeping on the well-bench in
the shade. Think what a strain it is to travel
wear the oil-cloth in view, how painful it would
be to have the dwellers in the countryside scatter
before 1t to the woods and streams.
Just about this time of year the boss book
agents are coming from CINCINNATI (where is
and steam-heated the cave of Eolus) to
of book-agentry. I, who love the young people of
County, am going to organize them into
classes for the study of huckle-berrying and hick-
ory-nutting. So long as there is a currant or
huckle-berry crop for spring and summer con-
sumption and a full yield of kickories for winter
diet, I trust that we may live happily with the
birds and squirrels and not have to take the ankle
excursion.-J. c.. Mcneil, in Laurinburg Ex-

Book Agents.


A great many of our friends are urging me
at this time of year when friends will become so
urgent-to take the veil from off book agents, and
so, with modest professions of my own unworthi-
ness of such a high trust, I proceed to the I'M
yelling.
The book agent being a most familiar figure
upon our highways and in our hallway, it may
seem a vain thing for me to set in here to define
and describe him. Yet it is true, as the poet
Browning saith:
"We're made so that we love
First when we see them painted, things we have
passed,
Perhaps a hundred times nor cared to see."
The ordinary book agent is a peddler of furni-
ture.' If you take the Royal Path of Life, bound
in half leather or red morocco, place it upon a
small table in a good light, it is quite an elegant
piece of furniture and is a great JOY to lovers of
the Beautiful. Many agents travel for the E. P.
Roe factory, which makes a very ornamental arti-
Gle. This factory sells it's products only in suites,
and that is a modern and happy way TO do, for
so may people of vulgar taste get their books of
various size and color and sandwich longs and
shorts, having little thought for harmony of
shades and tints. To a couple beginning house
keeping I would also the Talmage
goods. If you should take the first named book
and work it into the seat of a chair fanked with
cushions, your guests might enjoy the unique
sensation of sitting down on The Royal Path of
Life.
The book agent is a very deceptive man or wo-
man. He or she tries to fool you and make you
think that he or she is somebody else.
Foot Note.-The agent is sometimes a woman;
but as some people say of turnips, III wouldn't
choose any more" of her: sometimes the agent is
a man; but as some people take no sugar in
theirn, so / do not want him in mine. For the
mere sake of rhetoric and good taste, therefore,
I will hereafter designate the book agent as It)
I was saying that 1t was a very deceptive animal.
If 1t came in Its true character 1t could never
get you to leave your pillow and 60 to the house
with 1t. You would not drench It with butter
milk and feed melons to 1t.
But after all these beautiful Offices of hospital
ity. have been spent, 1t reaches under It's coat and
pulls out of the hiding the oil cloth sack and out
of the sack a lonely prospectus of Washington
Etiquette. Now, you know enough etiquette al
ready to forbid rudeness to one who has eaten and
drunk under your roof, so you cast up your eyes,
compose your hands and feet, and look religious.

THE HOME CIRCLE
The Building of the Temple

An Anecdote of General Bragg.

General Bragg was an unfortunate commander
at best, and perhaps no better idea can be given
of why this was so than the following story, which
is vouched for by an eminent soldier: When a
young man Bragg was commandant and commits
sary of a certain Western post. AS commandant
he made requisition upon the commissary for GER
tain supplies. AS commissary he refused the re-
QUESTION, and as commandant he insisted upon
having the supplies. All of this, reduced to writ
ing, was finally referred to the commander of
the department, who, upon discovering it's pur-
port, exclaimed: "My God, Captain Bragg, you
have quarrelled with every officer in the army, and
now you are quarreling with yourself w-July
