THOMAS FITCH'S @. X.
1t Saved Man from Being Robbed In Stage
fiOldup in Arizona.

San Francisco News Letter;
Tom Fitch of Arizona, he of the
"silver tongue" adding to the
gaiety of nations by publishing
occasional "reminiscences. That
is enough to prove that the erst-
while spell-binder is getting old.
Years ago, Fitch was one of the
leading men of the Arizona bar.
That was in the days when it re-
quired nerve to live in Arizona at
all, and to succeed at the carrying
capacity of a forty-fve. Fitch's
clients included a number of gen
tlemen who felt that the world
owed them a living. Therefore,
they picked up any good thing
that happened along the highway,
always provided the good thing"
did not get the drop on them first,
He succeeded in releasing from
the clutches of the law so many
rising Claude Duvals that the
Amalgamated Association of Road
Agents elected him an honorary
member. And it was no empty
honor, as Fitch proved to visitor
from the East. This gentleman
was about to start out on the Tue
son stage when he asked Fitch
whether any of his clients would
be met on the road.
"Well, the boys are getting
busy" Fitch responded. "If they
get too busy it will make me busy
getting them out of Jail. But
they won't touch a friend of mine
Here, I'll fix it for you" and Fitch
took out one of his cards and
wrote on the back:
To all Road Agents: = Please
pass the bearer, who is friend of
mine Tom FITCH.
The stage was stood up, the pas
sengers were lined along the road,
and one of the enterprising gen.
tlemen was about to separate
Fitch's friend from his wealth,
when the traveller, as last chance,
said; Say, you hold on, Pm a
friend of Tom Fitch. You just

for complaint by the farmers. On
the contrary, it would have been
bad for farmers if these other in
dustries had not been developed
to make markets for agricultural
produce. If, after that consider
alton, farmers still think manu-
facturers have an undue advant-
age over them, the remedy is in
their own hands. If they will
make the same use of the powers
of combination and of scientific
application that other industrialists
have, they will have no ground
for complaint of being outstrip-

pull out that card in my upper
left hand vest pocket and read it.
It's pass from Fitch"
The road agent pulled out the
pass" read it, and then taking a
pencil from the pocket of the
traveller, slashed across the card.

You're all right" he said to
Fitch's friend. Tom Fitch's name

That pass goes all right. Now you
take it back, and if any of the
rest of the bunch stand you UP
further down the line, you just

name and mine"
And the man from the East con.
tinued his way unmolested.

GROWTH OF THE FARM
Agriculture is Making More Rapid Progress
Than is the Population.

Remark is made, in a somewhat
complaining tone, that, while
forty years ago the farmers owned
fifty-fve per cent of the wealth of
this country, now they own only
twenty-one per cent. The idea
seems to be that they are thus un-
Justly dealt with, and are sacri-
feed to manufacturing and COM
mercial interest. We cannot see
that the point is well made. Upon
the face of the case, it is natural
and inevitable that as a country of
varied industries grows in wealth
the proportion of wealth represent
ed by agriculture will decline.
That does not mean that the act
ual amount of such wealth de-
clines. 1t means simply that other
great industries are being develop
ed. There was time when prac-
tically all the wealth of this coun-
try was agricultural. AS soon as
men started factories and built
ships those enterprises represent
ed a part of the country's wealth,
and so the percentage of agricul-
tural wealth declined, although
the actual amount of agricultural
wealth greatly increased.
The question is not, therefore,
what proportion of the wealth of
the nation is held by farmers, but
rather whether the actual amount
of wealth held by them is increas-
ing at an appropriate ratio. To
take the period of forty years al
ready referred to, it is to be OBJ
served that in it the population of
the United States has increased
by 40 per cent. At the same
time the number of farms has in
creased by 1855 per cent; the value
of farm property, including build
ings, has increased by 100 per
cent, and the value of farm imple-
ments and machinery has in
creased by 200 per cent. The
first complete report of the total
value of farm products was made
in 1870, so we can reckon the in
crease in that value for only thirty
years. In that time the increase
was I42 per cent.
These figures indicate, therefore,
that agriculture is making more
rapid progress than is the popula-
ton of the country. In number
of farms, in value of farms, in
value of implements and machin-
cry and in value of total products,
this is, in proportion to its popula-
ton, a greater farming country to-
day than it was forty years ago.
In that fact there should be ample
encouragement for farmers. If
other industries have grown still
more RAPIDLY, that is no ground

How Location Fixes Prices.

Professor Francis B. Gummere,
head of the English department
of Haverford College, usually com
bines a good story with the expo
sition of a literary fact. On a re-
cent occasion he said that the Irish
literature was entirely lacking in
proverbs and wise sayings, al
though a sharper witted people
did not exist This fact was illus
trated by the story of the old
woman who was selling roses near
Lake Killarney for penny each.
An English traveller thought the
price ridiculously low, so he said:
Nah deah woman, doncherknow
if you had those roses in Covent
Garden you could get a shilling
apiece for them"
"Yis," retorted the Irish woman,
land if l had Lake Killarney in
hell | could get a pound pint for
it."

How . Southern Woman Made Prof. itable Speculation on City
 Cemetery Lot.

-One of those things which go to show that where there is a will there Is a way
 s well exemplifled by a happening in a certain southern city," said weN- known former railroad man in the New orleans Times-Democrat. "A man be. fore his marriage had purchased a Beautifully located lot in the city cem- etery and paid $1O0 for 1t. After awhile he married and some ten or twelve years afterward died and was buried in the aforesaid beautifully located lot and his grave was carefully attended for awhile hy his widow.
 "When the big show came of in Chi. cago and all the world was en route to that mecca the widow took notion shs must see the show. As a result of long cogitation over ways and means she had the body of her deceased hus- band exhumed and railroaded 50 miles away and reburied at cost of about SIS, when she sold the cemetery lot for $500 and had a good old time at the big worlds fair.

WE CAN'T EAT CELERY NOW.
Doctors Have Cut on Another Article efDiet-vegetable Said to Carry
 Typhoid Germs.

Now the physicians arc said to have
 forbidden another relish nearly as pop Slar as oysters at this time. says the
 Washington Star. Celery has come under tho ban of the doctors, who say
 that 1t is equally we'll adapted to trans
 hitting the poisonous elements of tho
 soil and carrying the germs of typhoid. The disease can be acquired only by introducing the microbes into the sys- tenn fin food or drink, and for that rea- son advice against certain kinds of food is always likely to be regarded. But to what extent this may be carried is we'll understood by the proprietor Of Dne hotel, who has seen oysters during he past three weeks disappear almost sntlreiy rom the orders Of his guests. Bome weeks ago . well-known man died R typhoid fever. He had lived at . large hotel. and the report went about that he had got his illness there. What ever you do, don't eat oysters at that hotel" was the advice that one friend was giving another, based on the belief that this man had died of disease con- iracted in the hotel dining-room, where the chances were immensely in favor of his having got the fever somewhere else.
 If they keep on there will be nothing left for us to eat except fish and frit- ters, and the latter will probably be cut on soon and pills substituted.

The art of making glass was intro duced into Japan about 150 years ago by a Hollander, who settled at Osaka For several generations the knowledge of the process, was confined to single family. and it was not until about 1879 that the employment of coal instead of charcoal, and the construction of brick chimneys, enabled the manufacturers to introduce improvements which nlaced the industry on a substantial basis. Osaka has continued to be the center of the industry. and now manu- factures for export besides supplying the home demand.

PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS,
The Brain In Certain States of Activ- ity Can Act on the Organic
 Tunctions.

"Cenesthesia" is the name given to the general feeling we have ol the existence of our own bodies says the London Globe. Thl sense>ef existence is chief ay~ e~iE to accidental and local imprq sions awakening or stimulatiE the sensibility, but it Is compleN by certain obverse conscids. ness of the exercise of the orgAic functions, for example, resJra- tion. It is by this sensation(hat the spiritual Ego perceives fself existing locally in the limitf ex- tent of the organism. Tn prfect health this feeling is continuous, uniform, and equal, and thdefore, not special or local. In order to be remarked certain exalt@tion of well-being or distinct uneasiness is required. In the hypnotic state certain subjects have 8 more or less distinct perception of their internal organs and can exert cer' tain action over>them. In fact they can modify at will all the functions of the "vegetative" life for instance, the beating of the heart. The fact shows that the brain in certain states of activity can act on the organic functions If there is a nervous current from the brain to the organs there is also, perhaps, contrary curren! from the organs to the brain. Dr. Cromer, Liebault, and others maintain that some hypnotic sub jects perceive their internal or gans, and even those of other per sons with whom they are in hyp notic relations.

"sHowERPRooF" CLOTH.
Germans Treat Ordinary Materials with Pstroleum-Curious Aquatic
 Displays in Tailors' Windows.

It has usually been thought that rubber was about the only substance which would render cloth waterproof, although oil silk is coated with another one, prep aration of linseed oil. However. "showerproor cloth is known as that which repels water very largely and yet remains porous appearing in all respects like or. diary wetable cloth. The methods of treatment of such cloth are often trade secrets, and even the patent specifications do not di- vulge all that must be done to achieve a satisfactory result.
 "Petroleum," a German period ical, says that the oil to which that paper owes its name is one of the most successful showerproof preparations. 1t says that the only reliable shower proof is ob- tained by impregnating the cloth outside and in with a fine film of waxes. Paraffin wax is the staple, but owing to it's low melting point 1t is not fit for use alone. The com position used is so alloyed with other waxes and chemicals thatat the boiling point of water the wax stands firm. A rather elaborate preparatory form must be gone through, and after the wax has been applied a finishing process is required. The interesting fact re- mains that it is petroleum that keeps out the wet. In tailors' win dows in Germany many aquatic displays have been arranged to show that cloth can mysteriously be made to exhibit the power of the ducks back. Wool, cotton. silk, linen, velvets, braids, and even sails, awnings and tent cloths are thus wrapped in an in visible film of rock oil.

THEIR OWN BARRIERS.
Bnereased Sales Of Rasors Indicate That More Meh Than Ever Bs-
 fore Shave Themselves.

"There are sold in, this country to- day." said cutlery man, according to the New York Sun, ''a hundred times as many razors as we're sold here 40 years ago.
 Some share of this increase Is due, k course, to the advance in population. but the greater part is due to the large increase in the proportion of men who shave themselves More men than ever before now possess this polite art
 "With greater number of individ- nal users of raxors there are. of course. many more razors now sold. And. of course, plenty of men own more than one razor; everyone ought to own two. 1t least, as many men do. One good razor properly cared for might serve hs purpose continuously and well for long time without regrinding or hon. Ing, but an accident might happen to 1t, and against that man guards by having at least one extra razor. Many men buy sets of seven razors, enc for each day in the week. and there arc men who have sets of 31 razors. one for every day in the month. And trav- slers going to distant countries and into regions where facilities would be lack ing buy cases of razors to take with them. A traveller starting out with . ease of half dozen razors in perfect condition would have razor outfit that, with such care as he could be- stow upon 1t himself, would serve him we'll for years.
 "The best razor that can be made can be bought with plain handle for two dollars; anything more than that in the cost of 1t would be in the mounting lin pearl handles and so on. You can buy a case of seven fine razors, sim. ply mounted, for $12. or you can pay $50 or more for case of razors with the same blades, but with fine mount. ings and in finer case"
