POOP TROMBETTl!
The Sad Tale of the Professor and
the Journalist.


Professor Ygombetti whose praises
were so much sung in the foreign press
as knowing the greatest number of
languages of any one ever born, relates
an anecdote of himself which occurred
just after he was discovered In
Rome he was SO pestered by journal
lists that his patience at last gave way,
and when cornered by the gentlemen
Of the press his language became dis
tinctly lurid
One day as he was coming out of the
central postoffice a frank looking
young man stepped up to him, and,
holding out his hand, said. II am so
glad to make your acquaintance; L
have been trying TO find you for days"
Ind may inquire with whom l am
speaking?" why. / am X! Not
near relation to be sure, but near
enough to offer you congratulations"
etc. Professor Trombetti, reassured,
and glad to get hold of some one to
unburden himself to, took the stran-
gers arm, and, as they went down the
street, gave, in emphatic terms, a
description of his sufferings, his opin-
ion of journalists, and, incidentally,
much information about himself which
the papers had been vainly signing for.
Finally they parted with an engage
ment for dinner the next evening.
That night the professor was sitting
TRANQUILITY in q restaurant, the observed
Of all observers, when suddenly he was
seen to spring to his feet with smoth-
cred exclamation. His friends crowded
about for an explanation, but he could
emily sit down weakly and point to his
newspaper, the Giornale d'Italia.
There, in large print, were his impru-
dent revelations Of the afternoon. He
had been done by journalist.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The most ineXcusable thing i'll the
world is to unjustly abuse a decent cit
izen.
It doesn't do people any good to be
old enough to know better unless they
are also too old to enjoy meanness.
Every man needs a chart to tell him
the degrees of kinship in his family,
but his wife knows them so we'll she
can say them backward.
The truth about some people who
seem to be doing so much is that they
always put things off llntil the last
minute and then have to rush
The early bird may get the worm,
but the late bird has as good an argu-
ment: He gets his rest which the early
bird misses and has never yet starved
Be patient with the girl who takes
SO long to dress.l By and by she will
be able to do up the work and dress
herself and three or four children in
half the time she takes for herself now.

COMPENSATION.
All ThiuRs Are to BE Had if One VIII
hat Pay the Equivalent.

Life consists almost wholly of buy
ng, selling, paying. There are nc
gifts. nothing that does not call for an
equivalent. If we cannot pay for gifts
in kind we must pay in gratitude or
service or we shall rank as moral bank
rupts.
If I would have a good situation l
must pay for it not only in labor. but
in pronlptness, intelligence. faithful
ness and good manners. If l would
have good service l must pay not only
in money. but in consideration, recog-
milton. appreciation. fairness. l can
hold no one to me if l misuse him.
All things are to be had for the buy
ing. Would you have friends? Then
pay the price. The price. of friendship
is. to be worthy of friendship. The
price of glory is to do something glori-
Gus. The price Of shame is to do some
thing shameful.
Friendship. glory, honor admiration,
courage. fIrfamy, contempt, hatred, are
all in the market place for sale at a
price. We are buying and selling these
things constantly as we will. Even
beauty is for sale Plain women can
gain beauty by cultivating grace, ami
nation, pleasant speech, intelligence,
helpfulness, courage or good will.
Beauty is not in the features alone; it
is in the soul also.
Good will buys good WILL friendli-
ness buys friendship confidence be-
gets confidence, service rewards serv-
ice, and hate pays for hate, suspicion
for suspicion, treachery for treachery,
contempt for ingratitude, slovenliness,
laZiness and lying.
We plant a shrub, a rosebush, an or
chard, with the expectation that they
will pay US back. We build roads,
mend harness and patch the roof with
the same expectation. We will trust
even these unconscious things to pay
their debts.
Some of our investments are good
and some are bad. The good qualities
we acquire-moderation industry, cour-
SSy, order, patience, candor-are sound
investments. Our evil institutions and
habits are bad investments, involving
us in losses. We become debtors to
them, and they are exacting creditors,
forcing payment in full in money and
labor and sometimes in blood, agony,
tears, humiliation or shame. = From

From Time ImmeInOrfal Three Has
Had Unusual Significance.
The perfect number Of the Pythago-
middle and end, was the number three.
From time immemorial greater promi-
hence has been given to it than to any
other except seven. And as the symbol
Of the Trinity its influence has waxed
more potent IN recent times. 1t appears
over and over again in both the New
and Old Testaments. At the creation
of the world we find land, water and
sky, sun, moon and stars. Jonah was
three days and nights in the whales
belly, Christ three days in the tomb.
There were three patriarchs, Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained
three angels. Job had three friends.
Samuel was called three times. Sam
son deceived Delilah three times.

DANGERS of Melancholy.

The weak, broken spirited person
grows morbid and melancholy, and the
brain degenerates rapidly under the
influence of these mental states Mel
ancholia is something that comes more
within the province of the will power
than anything else. 1t can be cast off
and avoided only in this way. Some
times for the lack of stimulating the
will physicians will recommend a
'nge of occupation, scenery and as
4ation. This is merely an attempt
co rescue the mind from introspection
and give the will an opportunity to as
sert itself. Sometimes this is accom-
plished, and then, If followed up by

A Billion Dollars for LIQUOR

The American Grocer estimates that
the American people will, for the year
ending June 30, 1905, have paid out
81, 49S, &c., for stimulants, an in
crease of nearly 500, 100000 over the
average of the five years, 1900 to 1904
The increase is mainly in alcoholic
drinks.
With an estimated population OF
1,752, 900, the national drink bill fol
stimulants is $1S.33 per head, or sol. g.
for each family of five persons. The
amount is divided as follow: $2.7O pei
head for coffee, tea and cocoa. and
1888 per head for alcoholic drinks.
The official statistics for 1904 show a
consumption of whisky of las gallons,
per head, an increase of 46 1-2 per cent
over 1896. In the same period our use
of wine has doubled, and the consump.
ton of beer has increased 1873 per cent.
The use of alcoholic drinks combined
increased 21.S per cent. The items in
the drink bill were, alcoholic drinks,
81, 727, 100; coffee, $165, 800, 525; tea,
$41, 500, 900; cocoa, IS, 900, 900.

GOOD SEASONS BUSINESS.
Outlook for 1t at owosso is First Rate

Owosso escaped serious damage from
last weeks flood. The failure of the
private banking firm is now ancient
history and there seems to be nothing
in the way to prevent a good seasons
run of business, with perhaps one ex.
ception. The Owosso Sugar Company
may suffer because part of its acreage
in the vicinity of st. Johns and Ionia
was washed out by last weeks cloud.
bursts.
One factory Will shut down soon, as
it does each summertime Owosso
Manufacturing Company, makers of
door and window screen-but very
few of the employees have to remain
idle if they care to work.
When Stewards bank failed there
was great hue and cry about the
slump there would be IN business in
Owosso this summer. The prophecy
is being proven false. 1t had absolute
ly no effect on the industrial portion
of the citys business and very little
on retail business. The reason is easy
to understand. In Stewards bank
there were less than $500 depositors.
The amount Of deposits was in round
numbers $4S0,00O making the aver
age deposit only about $192-an amount
entirely too small to cause any material
change in the daily expenditures of the
average depositors.
Business is looking up with the
Woodland Furniture Company. A few
weeks ago it received a $4,000 order
from w. J. Sloane & Co., New York.
This week they received $4,000 order
from John Wanamaker for his New
York store. Detroit Free Press.
