PESSIMIST AT TRIPS END
In Trdmp's Gdrb-C Connecticut Temper anCe Mans Faith in Charity Shat
 tered by Unique Test.
m the New York Journal.

sVinsted, Conn.,, Sept. 12.- All is life William A. Gleeson, a p sperous business man of Torr gton, had been taught at Sund v school that clothes do not [. Ike the man, and that the worl judges one not from his exte or. But he has put the thin to a test and you cannot tell i'm anything like that again.
 / little trip he took as mas q trader has filled him with pes .nism. Disgusting himself as tramp, Gleeson walked from New York to Torrington, fond in the hope that he would be recognized at his true worth, and that deaf ears would not be turned on him simply on account of his tatters.
 But not alone did strangers turn him down, but several friends he called upon on the route failed to give him a warm CT welcome. But two individu- als failed to give him the cold shoulder, and one of these was 6 dog. The other was a waitress in a Bridgeport restaurant. who believed his tale of misfortune.
 TRIP THAT TURNED.
 Gleeson is county director of the Connecticut Total Abstinence Union, and after returning from the national temperance conven- tion at Wilkesbarre, Pa., he de- cided to try the experiment. His disguise was perfect and his best friend could not recognize him.
 'If I get really hard up will call on my friends, without tell ing them who'll am, and l know they are good enough people to help a man in distress, unused Gleeson.
 He started from New York in perfect weather, but toward aft ernoon the pace began to tell and he determined to try.his luck on a trolley car. The conductor would not listen to his story and the traveller was thrown from the car. Turned away from dozen farmhouses, he slept that night, cold and hungry, ina field. He had better luck on a trolley in the morning because the conduc- tor was too sleepy to put him off by force. Arriving at Stamford his reception was cold and he was driven from the back doors of three friends who had in former times talked to him of the beau ties of charity. He is going to tell them to practice what they preach.
 This proves that Correct Clothes for Men" made by AL fred Benjamin & Co.,. New York, are all important. The new fall showings of suits, rain coats, box coats, overcoats and fancy vests are now on sale by their agents, the Star Clothing Con- pany, who have the exclusive sale in this city.

The Angorn Coat.

The passing Of the cattle range and
the boom of the sheep market along
with the high prices for all wool and
hair-bearing animals has attracted
some attention to Angora goats. This
branch of the stock industry passed
through a boom three or four years
ago which, like all booms, resulted in
some men paying high price for lit
tie experience. Goats are semi-trop-
ical, and while thriving at high alti-
tudes, they require good protection
from the snow and cold of our north
ern climates. The farmer who bought
Angoras in small hands merely for
use as brush cleaners, and who have
studied the business and given good
care have made a success. In New
Mexico and Texas, where the pasturage
is suitable for the goat, great profit has
resulted in the business, and it may
be carried on there in large way by
experienced men who have proper loca-
tons. We can see no occasion for war
between the cattle and sheep men and
those engaged in the rearing Of goats
because the Angora does vast amount
of good to the mountain and timber
pastures by cleaning off the under
brush, fertilizing the soil and giving
the grass a chance to grow.-TeEas
Stockman and Farmer.

Cotton Mills and Cotton Fields.

The general complaint of the scarcity
OF cotton mill labor is to be accounted
for mainly in the fact that so many
former operatives, originally from the
farm, have gone back there. The eX-
odus from the farms TO the mills COM
menced in about 1890, as the result of
the depressed condition Of agricultural
affairs, and continued for from seven
to ten years, or until about 1900. Dur
ing several years, from about 1898 to
1902, the movement between the farms
and mills was pretty nearly an offset.
AS many people were going from the
mills to the farms as we're going from
the farms to the mills, About 1902-l903,
however, the drift grew stronger from
the mills to the farms than in the OPP
posite direction, and in 1903-1904 il
reached its climax. The natural effect
Of this drift has been most noticeable,
AS laborers left the farms for the
mills, cotton production fell off and
prices went higher, and just as the
mills had formerly held out greater at
fractions, the invitation from the fields
became still more irresistible. The ire
mendous surplus of this year is largely
the work of former mill operatives
gone back to the farms, and another
tremendous crop with its consequent
depression of prices will cause still
another swing of the pendulum from
the farms to the mills.-Yorkville En-
quirer.

WAS WATCHING MARKET.
No Change in the Price Of Tintypes,
But Bananas Go Up and
Down.

1t is quite evident that some persons are
born for business career. This is demon
stratsd in some cases in very early life,
says Youths Companion. The other day
Mrs. Cobb saw her ten-year-old son Ed
ward going out the gate with neighbor s
boy.
Where are you going?" she called from
the window.
We're going down to have our pictures
taken at the tintype place." answered her
boy, tossing ten-cent piece in the air.
Mrs. Cobb had been wondering what
queer train of thought had awakened this
vain desire when suddenly she heard once
more the click of the gate. Looking out
she saw Edward coming in alone, MUNICH
ing banana.
WAS it too cloudy to have the tintype
taken?" she asked.
No, ma'am."
What was the matter?"
WELL" said Edward, Tommy had his
taken, but / didn't. found out that
bananas had dropped to three for ter
cents. So | bought EN-. You never car
tell the price of bananas, but tintypes il

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION
It Is Unconstitutional and Unneces-
sary to Confscate the Property
of the Railways.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Inter State Com
merce Commission Prouty said in dis
cussing the proposition to give to that
Commission the power to regulate rail
way rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own BUSH
ness. | have never advocated any law,
and l am not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any COM
mission or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it 10 done in some coun-
tries, am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now 1t has always seemed to me that
when rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of it's property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of it's property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four.
teenth amendment to restrain that
|. have looked at these cases
a great many times, and l can only
come to the conclusion that railroad
company is entitled to charge a fail
and reasonable rate, and if any order
OF a commission, if any statute of 9
state legislature, takes away that rate
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company"

field. The stalks should have been
cut last summer, stacked, cut up and
fed to cows during the cold winter
nights. The corn stalks in the stom-
achs of the cows or mules would have
warmed their ears and feet like the
wood in the fireplace did the farmers
feet and hands One-third of the farm
ers' crop was in the stalks, and that
much was lost by him by not being the
right kind of farmer Now he is
raking up the stalks and burning to
get them out Of the way,
| Each acre of stalks contains at least
one dollars worth of nitrogen, If they
had been turned under and changed
into soil. The ashes from the stalks
will be worth only six cents per acre.
What unwise management of the farm!
An acre of cut stalks would have
been worth So to SO per acre as feed
for stock, but the slow man failed to
utilize them.
In the fall he should cut the dry
stalks and run disc harrow over
them, cutting them into six-inch pieces,
and turning the pieces six inches under
the soil to disintegrate and form humus
in his impoverished lands.
Bat he did not even do this. He left
the stalks on the field until March
and then was compelled to burn them
So as to break his land. He destroyed
dollars worth of nitrogen per acre
in burning, leaving in the ashes only
about six cents worth of potassium
and lime on his land.
This kind of mot" farming keeps
the land poor, causes the animals or
the place to freeze for the want of car
bo-hydrate to warm their systems in
the winter, causes the owners pocket
book to be so fiat that he can not ed
ucate his children, and then he is pop
ulating the state with a generation
