On one occasion a stub tailed
cur dog Joined a pack OF grey
hounds in pursuit Of a Kansas
iackrabbit. The jack, in attempt
ing to avoid the hounds, pursued
his usual tactics OF doubling back
on bis tract. By so doing be
escaped temporily the hounds, but
unfortunately ran directly into the
mouth Of the stub tailed cur, who
was trailing along behind, and
was gathered in. The cur, proud
Of his capture, began to boast Of
his ability as a runne., Fhen one
Of the hounds dryly remarked: "If
you arc wise enough to rest your
reputation on this accident you
may keep quite standing among
ours, but if you are fool enough to
get gay and try to run down a
\ iackrabbit alone you will demon.
strate just how little you amount
TO-"
Moral: Sometimes a person OF
mighty little ability gets reputa-
tion he does not deserve on &C.
count Of some fortunate accident.
An indolent sort Of individual
lay down one day in the early fall
under the branches of tree laden
with ripe plums. BE soon fell
asleep and his mouth flew open
In little while a ripe plum fell
from the tree and fell plumb be-
tween his jaws. 1t walked him
and finding the luscious fruit in
I his mouth he concluded that he
had discovered an easy way to get
a living. The next day he came
again, lay down on his back under
the tree and opened his mouth. In
few minutes, instead OF a ripe
plum, a large juicy worm fell in
his mouth. As he spat it out with
digust he exclaimed: "There are
exceptions, Of course, but as a gen.
eral rule a man had better keep
his mouth shut"
A charitable man had as neigh
bOrs a family of shiftless people
who always lived from hand to
mouth, apparently never figuring
on how they would get through the
following day or the following
week. As times we're pretty hard
and the shiftIess family were
short on clothes and food, the
charitable man sent him a check
for $40. The next month he did
the same thing and kept it up for
six months! Then he observed
that the neighbOr was not making
very strenuous endeavors to get
work and ceased to send the
checks. Within a week he re
ceived a note running as follows:
t'deer Sir: failed to receive
yure check this week as usual,
please fOrwOrd same to me by
first male. Yours truly,
J. TOSTPKINs.
Moral: Often the recipient Of
charity gets the notion in his head
that it is owing to him.
A beautiful wOma0 married a
man who was so hOmely that his
face would stop any eight-day
clock that was ever manufactured.
When the beautiful woman was
asked why it was that she had
married so plain a man she said:
81 fgared that it would be a good
deal more satisfactory to be the
sole proprietor Of hOmely man
than to have part interest in a man
who is 50 handsome that a dozen
other women want a share Of bis
attention.
Moral: Once in a while the
hOmely man wins out.

production for the year just ended
is estimated at $500, 900 tons.
The South's coal production in
the same time has multiplied ten
fold. The number of spiDdIes in
cotton mills in the South in 1880
was 667, 900; now they nmder 8,
100000. The value OF the lumber
products in the South in 1880 was
$39, 900, 900; for the past year it is
estimated at 5000, 600, 600. The
total value OF manufactured pro-
duct of the South in 1880 was S457,
900, 900; for 1904 it is estimated at
81, 700, 900, 900.
"These figures indicate pretty

during which the country suffered
in notable period of fnacial de.

been ablv to greatly increase. its
agriculture output, and, with the
stimulus of highpriced cotton, pro-
duced a crop last year exceeding
II, 100000 bales. The rice indus
try in Louisiana and Southern
Texas has grown to be something
considerable, Southern oil produc-
tiOn is also a large factor in the
cOuntry's commerce.
"All these things considered, it
does not appear that the South is
especially short on men who
know how to do things. Things

iect Of his affection, a London youth
put on her finger an engagement

two before her to choose from, but

both. This opens up aa loterest.

material to the case in hand. Al
ter obtaining the rings the young
woman exercised ihe privilege Of
changing her mind and broke off

return the rings, Whereupon he
sued for them

they were presents. emo" said
the magistrate, "they we're given
as engagement rings" and ordered
that they be given mp. with costs.
Though from the report he appears
to have thought that the defend
ant would determine to marry the
young man 10 order to retain the
iewelry, he had learned wisdom
from Rabelais judge, and gave no
reasons for his decision.
1t is a decision, perhaps, that
might have been expected from
mans logic. While the minor
offerings on loves shrine candy,
flowers, thester tickets, gloves
and other knick- knacks-are more
than compensated by the fair
ones cOndescensiOn and the
amenities Of the engaged state,
though some brutes have been
known to sue for their money
value, the engagement ring is a
symbol or sign of a social cOndi-
tiOn, Of contract only surpassed
by the plain gold band that is the
witness of the completion OF the
bargain and sale.
It is the glorious advertisement
to her sex that the wearer has
landed her fish; it is the sign

from private grounds; it is the
permittO step over the conventions

conservative land like Great
BritiaD, where woman is still un-
der some restraint, the young man
goes with the ring, otherwise there
is fraud, and it is only logical for
the London beak to decide that
the ring goes with the man.
Would an American police
magistrate have the courage to de.
eide the question in the same wayi
And would the social conditions
