WHERE THE GREAT WEALTH IS.

In France man is called a mil
lionaire if he is the possessor of
100000 francs, or. in other words,
has property worth $4,000. There
are not 10000 persons in France who
have that amount of property, though
there are possibly ten persons in the
country who have fortunes of $19,-
600, 900 or more. All the holders of
great fortunes may easily be men
toned by name; only about 100 per-
sons are worth between S2,00O,OOO
and $l0,00o,000, and $4,000 have
accumulated or inherited property
valued at from $193, 900 to $3.50, 600.
That is, France has very few rich
citizens. The French republic has
vast wealth, but it is divided into a
vast number of little savings.
If We go through the entire field
Of French industry we shall see that
in the shop, the factory and on the
farm the man of small means in the
aggregate is the moving impulse in
French enterprise. France occupies
only one-eighteenth of the surface of
Europe, and its area is only little
over one-fifteenth that of this
country, but there are as many farm
properties in little France as there
are IN our wide domain.

You can't lose the kids. The other

a prominent business man in a town
near this city and approached the head

''I'm selling tickets, too" returned the
business man, with a smile. Mine are

the benefit OF the church. Suppose we

The boy looked at the merchant with
undisguised delight. He had heard OF
the supper and could hardly bunch up
the words quick enough-to say:
III go you, mister"
The trade was quickly made, and il
was not until some time afterward that
IL dawned on the business man that
the tickets sold by the boy were rated
at 10 cents each, while those he was
selling for the church supper retailed
at 90 cents.

something. The pedlar replied by
saying that he was poor songster.
and besides he didn't know anything
appropriate for the occasion. Oh do
sing something! sing something! said
the captain sing that old familiar
song,."Root Hog or DE-" after which
we'll repair to the decanter and take
a nip. The next morning the pedlsr
went out to see about his horse, and
found him up in the roof of the
stable standing on 5 or 10 feet of
snow which had drifted in by the
high winds of the night before.
Two young men of Northumber-
land by the name of Sam. and 10.
attended party at the "New build.

above night and of course didn't 90
home till morning. On their way
home they greatly felt the need of
some stimulants, which they thought
could be bad of an old gentleman by
the name of Henry, who had pre-
vlously married the sister of Jo., and
who lived not far from the road
behind little bluff. When they
came In sight of the house they saw
that the roof had been blown off by
the winds of the night before, and
lying some distance away from the
house. They went up to the door
and knocked, and shrill gull-like
voice came from within saving:
"Who dat ? Who dat ?'' After being
told who it was the same shrill voice
continued, "h'ist the latch, hist the
latch and come in" They went IN,
after some difficulty in opening the
door, and found that the snow was
about two feet deep all over the floor
and bed, and about waist deep in the
fire place. After exchanging few
words OF greeting with the host and
hostess who were buried bout two feet
under the snow in nice warm bed,
and who didn't know their dwelling
was minus roof, Sam. and 10. pro-
ceeded to build a fire. 10. busied
himself in parting the snow in the
hre place and told Sam. to 90 out
and bring in turn of those old dry
boards, (meaning of course the boards
on the old roof that had blown ON
when the same voice from under the
cover more shrill and hat-lifting
than before came saying: "Ole dry
boards! Ole dry bosrdsl Ole dry
boards. Dunno where you'll find
ole dry boards here !" Sam. soon
came in with a double armful of
boards, the sight of which caused the
host to spring out of bed and wade
through the snow to the door, and,
looking through a crack over the
door he saw the demolished roof, ex-
claiming, "Ah h h b b, All h h h h.
b d h, All h b h h h b b, dats where
| bin wantin' to see you fur de las
i've years, it tis, it tis." At this
Juncture 10. and Sam. made their
wants known, and the host waded
back to one corner of the room and
unearthed (or unsnowed) barrel of
brandy and treated his guests to q |
bountiful supply of the life giving
iiuid! Having built good warm
fire Sam. and 10. departed for their
homes some miles distant.

"DIP AN DONE wID IT.n

Bishop Wilmer, second Bishop of
Alabama, and famous raconteur of
the South. often told this story:
He had baptized and confirmed an
old negro, signing him with the sign
of the cross, declaring him all heir
to the Kingdom of Heaven and a
member of the Episcopal Church.
In few weeks the Bishop learned
that the old man had severed his
church allegiance and was shoutin'
elder in the African Methodist
Episcopal meeting house known as
"Hickory Stand"
Several weeks later the Bishop
heard that he had resigned that
membership and had been immersed
becoming professor of the Baptist
persuasion at the negro church
known as "Frog Level"
When next the Bishop met the
old negro he asked him: "Josiah, why
did you leave my church? Anybody
hurt your feelings there, or anything
like tha,?"
"La, no, Marse Hookerl Ls, no,

CHOOSING WALL PAPER.

When we are confronted with the
question as to what color we wish
our rooms to be we have a very hard
problem to solve. We know how
often mistakes are made and many
find out too late the reasons for
them. Yet there are special laws
that govern the application of color
which should always be chosen with
reference to the quantity and quality
of light which pervades the room. A
north room needs bright, warm treat
ment-reds, golden browns and yell
lows; room with a southern aspect
requires cool, light colors, such as
pale blues, spring green's and silvery
gray tones.
The number, size and position of
the windows will greatly affect the
intensity of the color to be used,
therefore it is necessary to consider
the color you have decided on in a
strong light and also in shadow. By
artificial light paper will usually
look darker than one expects, 80
when you are at the paper surveyors
be sure you ask to see your choice
under whatsoever conditions it is to
be used, either with gas, electric or
lamp light.
There is no need for curtailment
in the choice of colors for rooms that
face east or west, as practically any
color can be used successfully. But
here it should be realized that a mar
row-striped paper gives an effect of
height to a room, just as a large
design having more width than depth
serves to make room look smaller
and lower, and holdings, friezes and
dados also exercise the same effect.

The FadeIes. Flower.

Luther Burbank, the California hortI.
culturist whose experiments in the i'm
provement of fruits and creation of
new nowers and fruits have made him
famous, has received many offers from
persons in England, France and even
IN South America to purchase his won
derful creation, the so called fadeless
hover. Some of the purchasers wish
to buy it with reference to its use in
millinery and others as q mere novelty
OF marketable value, but so far Mr..
Burbank refuses to sell it despite lib
eral offers. His custom is never to
permit one OF his creations to leave his
hands until he has made it as nearly
perfect as possible. Fortunately, ow-
ing TO the wise generosity OF the Car
negie institution, he will be able to
continue this policy and to withstand
the temptation to part with his prod
ucts until they are ready for general
use

EDITOR CITIZEN:
While being housed up this cold,
snowy, sleety and wintry weather,
and inclined to look upon the dark
side of things generally, my thoughts
carry me back to the terrible cold
and snowy winter of 1856 and '57.
During that memorable winter, a no.
ted pedlar by the name of Ginberg,
stopped at the house of very prom
inent gentleman in Richmond county
by the name of Capt. Brybee, to ex-
hibit his wares and to put up for the
night. While there that famous
snow storm began, probably the
greatest and most awful snow storm
of the 18th century. About 8 o'clock
p. m, the pedlar and the captain
took o stroll outside to look at the
weather. The captain asserted that
he verify believed the Judgment
day was near at hand and that they
had better do something of reli.
gious character. The pedlar shared
in the opinion. They went inside
and the captain asked the pedlar to
lead in prayer. The pedlar replied
that he wasn't much used to doing
such things, and that he would very
much prefer that the captain should
perform that Office, whereupon the
captain took down the family bible
and read most beautiful selection.
and then the two together knelt
while the captain led in one of the
most fervent. eloquent prayers ever
listened to by human ears. They
arose from their knees and went out
again to see if there had been any
change in the weather. Finding that
their prayer hadn't been answered as
yet, they again went inside, and the
captain asked the pedlar to sing

DREAMS.
BY IDA II. OAKLE

BY IDA II. OAKLEY.
We close our eyes In slumber,
And dream the night away,
Mid sad or happy scenes
But give me the dreams of day.
1 sit alone and ponder
On life's wild stormy deep,
And live again my childhood days;
l find no such in sleep.
l see familiar faces
And join them in their play,
/ hear their merry laughter
AS if but yesterday.
And. then, again / stand
On maiden's threshold fair,
And view with rapturous eyes
The pleasures hidden there.
Life seems so full of JOY,
Our youthful minds to sway;
We drink 1t In as we hurry on,
And scarcely pause to pray.
And, now, 1 stand at the altar,
A happy, trusting bride;
The vows have all been spoken,
And "he" is by my side.
Then, blissful years roll on,
Years filled with JOY and love,
SO like picture true
OF that perfect home" above
But, now, we are bowed in sorrow,
Crushed with a nameless fear;
Physicians kind can do NO more
The Death Angel hovereth near.
And SO our beautiful darling,
The precious child of our love,
Falls asleep ain the arms of Jesus"
And her spirit is borne above.
We knew not such grief as ours
Had ever been felt before,
That hearts could ache so keenly,
Be filled with such anguish and woe;
But we soothed each others sorrow,
Pressing onward through hope and love:
There were children still in the earthly HON
AS dear as the zone" above.
Yet why am dreaming still;
Surely tits finished now
Ali no, the cup must be filed,
One more thorn for the brow.
And now 1 weep alone,
And alone l walk life's way;
The companion of Joy and sorrow is gone
His spirit hath left the clay.
Then talk not of dreams in the night,
Where visions paint pictures untrue,
But give me the day dreams of life;
Though sad / would dream them anew
