0Se Philosophy Of
COmGem6ed Minds
Selected.

Old Jef Howerson, up in Lake county, always said
that things might be worse. While a young fellow he
was engaged to a beautiful girl, but she married another
man, and Jh sat down on the bank of the creek, gazing
at the water and the dark shadows that seemed to float
down the stream, A friend came to sympathize with
him, thinking that his spirit was broken, but JEFF looked
up and said;
"Oh, it could be worse"
1t was "A philosophy that no one wished 10 argue
against; it always has been and doubtless will be until
the end of time.
Well, JEFF went about his business-what little he
had-and after a time married a girl who turned out to
be a scold-worst scold that anybody had ever seen.
One day she scolded because there wasn't anything in
the house fit to'eat. JEFF went to the crossroads gro
Gerry and returned with a market basket full Of provis-
ions, He put the basket on the floor and, turning to
her with a philosophical smile. began with:
My dear but there he halted, for she flew at
him,

'oh, you heartless thing, loading me down with all that
stun TO cook and she heaved the basket out into the
How He Remunerated Her.
This pleasing tale is told by the Paris correspondent
OF the Gentlewoman; The old Count S. known for his
constant money difficulties, was at a loss how to remun-
crate his cook for the pleasure he had from a wonderful
salamis, and bethOught him Of a lottery ticket he had
had for some years, and presented her with ii. Now,
II CHANGED that this same ticket a few weeks later drew
a prize OF 100000, and there was nothing else for the
count To DO but TO marry the cook and get possession Of
II again. The ceremony was celebrated at The marie,
and as soon as the interesting couple We're husband and
vile, the count asked his bride to fetch him the ticket.
Blushingly, the countess acknowledged having given II
to her cousin, the coachman, as compensation for their
broken engagement.

Scarcity Of Neat
AfflicGs Germany
Consul Britain, Of Kehl, Germany.

The German papers are suggesting various remedies
ties-for in Che cities the famine is most severe and felt
the most by the population-run ranches, especially for
the raising of swine. and thus, should a meat famine
or crisis arise, the city government would be in a posi-
ton to supply the butchers with meat. thus preventing
the tendency to high or exorbitant prices. Many Ger
man cities own and control laughter-houses in which
all the cattle are slaughtered under municipal super
vision, and to which the butchers go for their daily supply
of meat.
By comparison it is observed that Austria Hungary
possesses $4,000, 900 head Of cattle; France, $4,000. 600;
Switzerland, 100000, and European Russia, 10000 600.
The above figures show that the various counties pos
sess about one-third as many cattle as the total number
indications are that the neighboring European countries
can aid Germany with only a limited amount of beef,
and that consequently Germany will have to import from
beyond the seas.
The butchers of Strassburg went recently to Belfort,
France, about 100 miles from S~trassburg, to buy cattle;
and as the law forbids the Importation Of live cattle they
%butchered what they bought in Belfort and shipped to
St~rassburg
Not only is the scarcity Of beef perceptible, but pork
and swine are scarce. The statistics credit North
America with the possession of As, 100000 swine. Ger
many with 1~6,S0O,o0O, European Russia with 1%2,6OOyOOO,
France with 100000, Hungary with 100000, Austria
with 1900 00,N England with 100000, Italy with $780,
600, Roumania with 100000, Denmark with 100000,
Belgium with 1900, 900, Australia with 100000, Servia
with 100000, and Japan, Sweden and the Netherlands
each with 100000 to 800. 900 head.

Presidential Qualifications.

Concerning The next presidentof France, who is 70
be elected next month by parliament, the Temps, OF
Paris, according TO the Las Vegas Optic, has laid down
rules which are probably as excellent as could be de-
vfsed. They are the outcome of t~hirty-fve years of
republican experience, at any rate.
President Loubet's successor, says the Temps, should
he ripe In years, but not old. He should be robust and
active, "self-made." and appear in shop window photo
graphs with wife and chldren-the more children the
better. He need not be a savant, and even his speeches
may be written for him, but at air costs, he must have
a cheerful face and always be ready to smile. Finally,
he must wear a high hat and be a fair shot, Wl,n such
an outfit, a president of France can serve out his term
and he beloved by his people.
And why not? The Citizen would ask. France has
adopted The English plan of a responsible cabinet: but
instead of a lifelong president born to the position. as
England has, the French republic followed the American
plan OF electing its president at stated intervals. How
ever, unlike the American president, the Frenchman has
no responsibility, His sole use, like the English king, is
to draw his salary, look pleasant and make himself pop
ular.

Cloudcroft Silver Lining: An Indian never forgets
a wrong and he will get even If 1t takes a lifetime. Some
people take pride in the fact that they never forgt a
Kindness, and viii remember a wrong, or supposed wrong,
until they injure themselves more than the other fellow.
Life Is too short to cherish malice and hateful thoughts
about others. II you don't like your neighbor. let him
alone, cease to think Of him, and harbor no in feeling
towards him. He will probably not worry about you
unless he knows you are trying to get even hemem-
Der a Kindness, let us help one another, especially when
IL costs no more than little words of kindness, and cease
entertaining little mean feelings about others. Il is
mol worth while, and it makes you disagreeable and
