sImOIe Device Saves Strength.

A woman who knows how TO save
her strength in her daily work mas
invented these simple devices, which
she uses on ironing days. She has
made a little floor pad three inches
thick, big enough to stand comfort
ably upon. 1t is used when she stands
in front of the ironing board. with the
result that she is far less tired at the
end of the day. Another iabor-saving
device is a little board, which can be
held on the lap, so that she can sit
down while she is ironing all the
small pieces, napkins, collars. stock.

A STORY OF WEBSTER.
Daniels Love For Brandy and Very
Indignant Client.

1dnIets Love TOT BRANDY and very
Indignant Client.
Mr.. Websters fondness for brandy
gave one Of his important clients a
very bad twenty-four hours. He
was called to Philadelphia to de-
fend the Goodyear rubber patents.
and the head of the firm met him
at the station. When they had en-
tered the carriage he at once turned
to Mr.. Webster and referred to one
feature of the evidence to be pre-
sented in the trial the following day.
Il speak of it, Mr.. Webster he
said, cas- it has peculiarly impor-
tant bearing on the case, and |
thought you might not have under
stood its significance"
Mr. Webster, who was looking
dreamily out of the carriage win
dow, was recalled to consciousness
of his clients presence. He yawned
and, settlin., back against the cush.
ions, remarked:
I've always hoped I might some
day come to Philadelphia, because
I've been told that there is no place
in the United States where they
serve finer brandy. When came
away from Boston l said to some of
my friends, Boys, I'm going to frl
out about that Philadelphia brandy,
and if | find that it really is the
best | shall have made a useful
trip"
Several times Mr.. Goodyear tried
to draw his distinguished attorneys
attention to the particular point at
issue, but he never seemed to take
the slightest interest in it. The
brandy of Philadelphia was appar-
emily the only topic which interest
ed him, and he always required to it.
Mr.. Goodyear left him somewhat
brusquely at his hotel. When he re-
turned to his Office his story was
anything but inspiriting. 'We've
got a man who is supposed to be
the greatest lawyer in the United
States, and the only subject in which
he takes any interest is Philadelphia
brandy"
That night, though, Mr.. Webster
worked in his room until 2 o'clock,
occasionally walking the floor and
marshaling his case into battle ar
ray. His plea the next day was one
of his most impressive utterances in
its power and logic, and the case,
involving hundreds of thousands of
dollars, was given to the Goodyears

SINGLE Elessedness,

At best it is only in the exercise
Of a great unselfshness that the eld-
erly spinster can continue to enjoy
the sunshine Of happiness. So long
as people are young there need not
be much loneliness in the single
state of either a man or a woman.
The sweets Of liberty and the uncon-.
scious hope Of happiness to come
make up for much that is lost in the
present. 1t is when life begins to
grow gfav,when old friends, through
death, through marriage or through
exigencies of time and place have
fallen away and new friends are
more difficult to make-it IS then
that both the spinster and the bach
elor wiz feel the inexorable ache Of
loneliness. And the outlook then is
worse Tor the spinster than for the
bachelor because 1T is more inexora-

A CROWD IS EXPECTED
TWO BIG CONVENTIONS TO. BEGIN
 IN MONTGOMERY.
Sugar Cane Growers of the south, and the HOrtlcuIturists of Aiabama, to Discuss Important Mat
 fara.

Hundreds of delegates from all over the South will attend the ctmventiop of the Alabama Horticultural Society and the Interstate Sugar Cane Grow CTS Association, which will assemble. in Montgomery tomorrow.
 The Horticulturists will meet in Montgomery Tuesday morning in the rooms of the Commercial and Indus- trial Association and on the same day. the Sugar Cane Growers Association. 500 strong, will assemble in the old Standard Club ball room over the meeting room of the Commercial and Industrial Association.

 Delegates from every State in the South are expected to attend the Cane Growers convention. The advertisine Vanguards sent out by the cmfwypao vanguards sent out by President Purse and the railroad passenger agents and industrial and immigration agents have been extremely active for the past month. This insnFes the best adver- tisement the organization has enjoyed in the three years of it's existence.
 All Commissioners of Agriculture in the cane-growing States have impress cd the farmers with the opportunities of the convention here this week. Now when talk of reducing cotton acreage for the year is rampant all over the South. the minds of the planters are turning to diversified farming. On this account the virtues and profits of raising cane, the methods of it's cul. tivation and the modern machinery of converting into syrup and sugar, all to be brought out in the coming con- vention, will be carefully weighed by the men who have been pledged to subtract from their acreage in cotton this year.

A Reminiscent Appetite.

Houston Fost.
 I think I'd like to stop the pigs the way I used to do, and bring in wood and hunt for eggs and bring the cows home too; and grease the wagon and hitch mp the horses every day and water all the cows and calves and give the horses hay; and pump wash water and stay in an churn, and churn, and churn. while other boys down by the creek were having fun to burn. I'd like to salt the sheep. I would I'd like to milk the cows; I'd like to man a cross-cut saw and have a wild carouse. with dad the other end of it to pull me through the log. I'd love to curry off the team and feed the cat and dog. And when I'd got the chores all done and had got through the rush. I'd love to take bush-hook and go out and cut some brush. I'd do these things again.

Great Riches of France Divided
 Among the Multitudes.


 Great Riches OR France Divided
 Among the Multitudes.
 New York Sun.
 In France man is called a million aire if he is the possessor of 1000, ,000 francs, or. in other words, has property worth $193,000. According to q recent computation by Le Rentier. 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 $19,000, 900 or more. All the holders of great for tunes may easily be mentioned by name; only about 100 persons are worth be- tween $2,000,000 and S10,0O0,000. and 14,QO0 have accumulated or inherited property valued at from $193,000 to $SS6,000. 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.
 This distribution of wealth in France is indicated by the facts that in 1902 there was left by persons dying prop erty of the value of $92i, ,000, ,00o; but of the S63,612 inhefitances distributed in that year more than 5000 consisted of sums ranging from 20 cents to $1,930. About two-thirds of the property to be distributed was in sums of $200 to $400. The large inheritances, from about $50.000 to $100.00o, represented only 0.04 per cent. of the tctal amount, and the property to be divided amounting to more than $100,000 represented less than 0.01 per cent. of the total value.

PRIVATE CAR MONOPOLY.
Experiences of Some Representati
 Men as to the ExtOrtlOnate Charge

Experiences of Some Representative
 Men as to the ExtortiOnate Charges. Chicago Record-Herald.
 In an interview which was printed in The Record-Herald. Charles A Prouty, Interstate Commerce Com missioner, said that when the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific were com peting for business, in California cars were furnished promptly and fruit was transported to Chicago in seven days. Then" he added, "came a practical division of the business with the ex- elusive car contract between Armour and the Southern Pacific and the ex- elusive use of Santa Fe refrigerator cars on that line. and what was the result? It now takes the fruit any where from eight to twelve days to arrive in Chicago, and it frequently gets here Tn bad shape
 Turning to a different territory we find George F. Mead, a Boston mem Der of the National League of Com mission Merchants, declaring that $1O0 is charged by Armour & Go. for icing a refrigerator car from the Missouri River to the EasterL seaboard, when in his judgment s25 would be ample In MT. Mead's opinion the private car lines can ruin men and even States by their traffic rates. He says that the car line company known as Ar mour & Co. virtually controls the price of perishable food products in this country.
 Still another witness is Charles B. Ayres, president of the National League of Commission Merchants. In an address at New Orleans ne said We will continue to charge the limit we think the public will stand, and If you are not satisfied to pay our toll for the privilege of living you can let your goods rot, as you must do busi- ness with us or quit. Is what the Ar mour exclusive contracts mean"
 Readers who are not directly con- cerned in shipping may get some idea of the intensity of the feeling against the private car lines from this com ment. and they should know that 1t represents the sentiment of thousands who are immediately affected. That is why the storm is rising so high, and it is a safe prediction that 1t will nev- CT be quelled until there is a marked change in conditions.

London Society Girls Slang.

Cn1caBo Cnronlcle.
 A visitor at a fashionable West End theater in London recently volunteer ed the suggestion that something might be done in the way Of modify ing the kind of language which the Twelfth Century girl sees fit to employ both in and out of season The imme- diate cause of these reflections was 6 remark overheard when coming out of the theater.
 The speaker was pretty and re- fined-looking girl and she was accom- panied by an aristocratic but worried looking man. She had just emerged from the women's cloakroom after the performance and as he helped her on with her cloak he remarked, appologei- cally. T am afraid you have not en- joyed yourself very much"
 She parted her ruby lips in a smile and spirited out of them the following paralyzing reply: well, nothing to call a heap! I think it's about the mouldiest old rotter of piece that I've ever seen! But it isn't that that's worrying me just now It's that loathesome old cloakroom I've just come out of. I tell you there's the most putrid bear fight going on in there that have ever hustled through" And all this in the most natural manner possible, though in g. voice so pitched that no one in the ves- tibule could possibly escape over-hear- ing. K.
