THE SALE OF TAGS.

In putting up cotton geed meal 20
bags to the ton are required, and each

quire 10 bags to the ton, and each

Sw1NDLER MET HIS MATcH.-The
classical confidence trick has been
neatly played on a would-be swindler
by his intended victim. The latter, a
cook on a transatlantic liner, had been
done himself before, and was too old a
bird to be caught again. He struck up
an acquaintance with an engaging but
obviously sham American millionaire
in the train to Paris, confiding to him
that he had 10000 francs In his bag,
and meant to amuse himself on the
boulevards.
well met, indeed" said the million
aire; II have also made my pile, and
intend seeing the merry side Of life
in gay Paree." They started the even
ing with an expensive dinner, paid for
by the American millionaire. At cof-
fee the latter exclaimed: "Hullo, l
have not any cigars; suppose you go
and buy some. You can leave your
bag here. where it will be quite safe.
But, as you might be suspicious, here's
my pocketbook. Keep it till you join
me again."
AS soon as the cooks back was turn
ed the American millionaire of course
bolted with the bag, but the latter on
ly contained old newspapers and the
cooks card, with the words: Il have
been here before: you have met your
match this time" In the would be
swindlers pocketbook was a sum Of
a24 in French notes, which the cook
took to the police station, asking the
officer to whom he told this tale with
understandable relish to give the
money to the poor.-London Tele-

SIMPLE EXPERIMENT TO PROVE
EARTH RoUND-Although it was DEM
onstrated more than 1000 years ago
that the earth Is globular, in form,
there are certain persons who main
tain that 1t is fiat. About thirty years
ago a controversy on the subject wax
ed so hot that 1t was determined to
put the matter to direct experiment
in order to settle the question once for
all.
The place chosen was near Bedford,
England, where there Is a straight six
mile stretch Of water. At both ends
and in the middle Of this water posts
were erected. each Of the same definite
height above the water level. Upon
looking with a telescope along the
tops Of these three posts 1t was clearly
seen that the centre one overtopped
the others by about six feet, owing
to the curvature of the surface Of the
earth.
These experiments were recently re-
peated in a more scientific manner by
H. Y. Oldham, who read a paper on the
subject before the Glasgow meeting Of
the British association. The same re-
suits were obtained, with the import
ant difference that by the employment
of a tele- Photographic lens and came
ra the six foot prominence Of the mid
die post was recorded in an unmistak-
able manner.

THE YOUNG LAWYERS PRAYER.-A
southern doctor of divinity in New
York on his vacation was speaking of
unusual prayers he had heard. One
was made by a young lawyer who
through innate piety or from a desire
to advance his political fortunes by be-
ing identified with the church, be-
sought the preacher to call on him
for prayer in the weekly prayer meet
ing. Suspecting that politics and not
piety was at the bottom of the law
yer's desire to pray in public the
preacher did not call on him until one
rainy night. when the attendance was
slim.
Then Brother H., being asked to
lead us in prayer" began his suppli-
cation. In great detail he mentioned
the various situations, personal and
general, in which the divine guidance
was desired, and it seemed as if he
would never stop. Finally, however
he hesitated as if he had forgotten
anything else to say. He showed
signs of confusion, and then in de-
spairing voice continued:
In conclusion, your honor, l might
mention many other things, but these
will suffice for tonight. Amen"
The story of the your honor pray
er was told over the state with a tit
ter, but it never interfered with the
lawyers success in politics. because
he has lately completed a term as
lieutenant governor of his state and
is being mentioned for still higher
honors.-New York Times.

went to that church, ascended to the

during the mornings service.

THE WRONG BLUFF.-A clock In
nearby tower had just tolled off the
hour of 4 as he arose unsteadily from the
card table where he had sat for three
hours, stretched his weary limbs, bade
his comrades goodnight, and started In
the direction of his home, says the
Philadelphia Press.
After a half hours walk, in which all
the lamp posts and telegraph poles in
sisted on getting in his way, he arriv-
ed at his home, took out his bunch Of
keys, at last found the elusive keyhole,
and softly opening the door and dis
carding his shoes at the foot Of the
stairs, climbed heavenward on all
fours. With cat-like footsteps he crept
across the threshold of his bedroom
and proceeded to undress. He heard
his wife move restlessly, which made
him hurry, and in doing so he upset a
chair, then stepping quickly over to
the cradle in the corner he commenced
to rock II violently.

At a dinner that General Corbin,
during the recent Gainesville man.

the foreign military attaches, the con-
versation turned to wartime foraging
and Governor Bates said:
There was much talk Of foraging
among the veterans gathered in Bos-

a captain and a certain drummer.
This drummer could almost make
drum talk. There was hardly his
equal in the army. Hence, on every
occasion Of Importance he was put In
a conspicuous post, and by his great
skill with the drumsticks he reflected
credit on his company.
with colors flying bravely in the
sun, the army one morning entered
conquered town. The tanned young
heroes stepped out splendidly. The
sidewalks were crowded with onlook-
ers. The drummers and the fifers
filled the air with brisk, inspiriting
music.
"The captain marched with the COL

thrust in his hip pocket and he march

winking at the girls.

Trooper Smith departed, and on
his return he whispered in the Cap

1.-The drummer has two geese and
a turkey in his drum, sir, and he says
the turkey is for you

colonel, to see II Smiths whisper had
been overheard. Then he said in a
loud, pleasant voice:
