A Question Of knowledge.

Two men in Kansas City were hav-
ing a heated argument concerning the
location of certain theater In New
York city. The one insisted that the
house stood on lower Broadway. while
the other was equally confident that 1t
was uptown.
Finally the first man, becoming
angry, exclaimed: Perhaps you
think you know more about New York
than do? How often have you been
there?"
Once" was the epigrammatic re-
ply.
We'll" exclaimed the other, in tri-
umph, "I've been there FIVE different
times, and I ought to know more
about 1t than you do
The vanquished one was silent for
a moment Presently he spoke with a
smile on his face. How long did you
stay In New York on each of the five
visits you nader"
The other scratched his head mo-
ment before replying. and said: Well
each time was there for two or three
days. How long did you stay on the
only visit you made?"
Seventeen years" was the calm re-
ply. That ended the conversation

TELLS WHY INDIANS PAINT.
Apache Relates Legend Which Ac-
counts for His Peoples Custom.

Once an old Apache Indian. when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces, told this little le-
gend:
'Iong ago, when men were weak
and animals were big and strong, a
chief of the red men who lived In
these mountains went out to get a
deer, for his people were hungry.
after walking all day he saw a
deer and shot at it, but the arrow
was turned aside and wounded a
mountain lion, which was also after
the deer. When the lion felt the sting
of the arrow he Jumped up and bound
eG after the man, who ran for his life
HE was almost exhausted and.
VIXEN he felt his strength giving way,
he fell to the ground, calling on The
big bear, who, you know, Is the grand.
father OF men, TO save him.
"The big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly, so he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the man.
Now, you must know that no anil

his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away, but as he did so his foot
scraped the face of the man, leaving
the marks OF his claws on the blood

when the man found that he was

left the blood dry on his face and

it peeled of.

HuMoR BEFORE THE LECTURE.
Novel Manner In Which Ell Perkins

Colonel Dick Woods. editor OF a
paper In Mount Sterling. Ky, was a
guest OF friend in Chicago a few
days ago, and his presence recalled
the manner in which the colonel in
troduced ELI Perkins to an audience
in Mount Sterling,

vile Landon, when doing stants as
a lecturer for a lyceum bureau, al.
ways wanted some prominent citizen
to introduce him to the audience, not
withstanding that he was the sole at
traction and the only name on tie
program. Colonel Woods was not par
lite to him. and Eli became very in.
sistent that the newspaper editor
should present him.
Eli stuck to the colonel, and at the
proper time dragged him, reluctantly,
upon the platform. The editor stood
for moment, awkwardly looking
over the audience, as If seeking a
loophole of escape, and then, address
ing an acquaintance, he said:
Judge Rogers. let me introduce
you to Mr. Perkins.
Squire Johnson, shake hands with
Mr.. Perkins.
major Williams. Mr.. Perkins.
Aunt Sally Goodrich. this Is Mr..

ELDER Kent, allow me to present

until Perkins knew as many people in
the audience as Woods did.

To simply stop; that one were blest
To lay aside his oars and rest;
With weary brain to tired to keep
His thoughts; with eyes too tired Ia

To put away his oars and sleep;
Within his silent bark to be
Borne onward to the farther sea,
All dreamless, TO Eternity;
While all the ages past him sped,
volceless silence overhead
Dead, dead, forever, ever dead;
No more TO see the smiles and tears.
No more to feel the hopes and fears:
No more TO hear with weary ears
The bitter wall the human cry;
No more &c see with weary eve
LIES sad procession pass him by;
No more TO feel the quick pang start:
No more with those he loves 10 part.
No more TO bear the broken heart;
But through the world and It's Increase
And through the world to It's decrease
To be at everlasting peace.

But whether to such a fate We 60

Profits of the Packers.

There has been a great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent on the volume OF
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the ngita-
ton regarding the beef trust began,
throw considerable light Oh this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin Of profit of 81 -four and
grist mills in Illinois. in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on the
volume of business. The gross margin
of tifty-one wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments in Hi
nois was only about one-third as large,
or a little more than two per cent on
the volume of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in a trust" and combina-
tions would seem impossible In Il bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade. but it APP
