naturally anticipate from his writings.
He has thick brown mustache, very
slightly touched with gray. and heavy
dark eyebrows. and he always wears
gold trimmed spectacles. He dresses
comfortably and neatly and Is guilty
Of none of those extravagant untidi-
nesses usually INDUCED In by distin-

display a great deal of energy ON

playing rubber quoits with Mrs. Kip

Number Of shoe Lace Eyes Used.


"Some of the apparently most trivial
things in this world are the most neces-
sary things. and fortunes are made in
manufacturing them," said Ralph l..
Jenkins
Take the lace eyes of shoes. for in
stance. The average person never gives
them thought. but they are indispen-
sable to our footwear. and there are
factories that devote themselves exclu-
sively to making them. Did you ever
stop to think how many of those little
things are used every year?
ION the basis of the population of the
United States being S0.000.OO0. this
country uses more than 1900. 100000 of
lace eyes and hooks year. Every
man, woman and child will wear out
on an average two pairs of shoes In
twelve months. The majority of people
have two feet, and there are twenty
eyes and hooks in each shoe i'se your
arithmetic and see what the total il. 1t

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
why Its ON cials Are Worried by the
Underground Railway.

Underground HALLWAY.
Officials OF the Bank Of England are
said to be worried for the safety of the
boards of wealth stored in their strong
boxes The bank station of the new
underground railway in London IL
close to the vaults of the worlds great
est institution of finance. At n recent
meeting of the bank directors il was
suggested that some brave but wicked
person might set off Il quantity of ex-
plosives in the bank station. wrecking
the foundations of the stately build
ings above and sending the bars of
bullion and the streams of gold coin
leaking out on to ting station platform
The feasibility of thAs scheme has been
conceded by the bank governor Ii is
figured, however, that the tube" as
the underground railway is called, is
a little too deep ut this point. To
reach the bullion vaults of the bank
the conspirators would have to drive a
shaft nearly hundred feet. and then
they would face Il mass of concrete,
thick masonry and steel. At one time
the Bank of England was the object
OF n conspiracy. From Il church tower
close by the bank was bombardcd. Aft
erward the authorities had the church
and its threatening tower destroyed.
Officials of the bank do not like the
tunneling going on in the clay beneath
their foundations. The constant pump
ing of water has affected even the
solidity of the clay. and from this cause
one of the wells which Is within the
three acres comprised within the
banks precincts has dried up.
Those three acres are valued ut about
$5.OO0.OOO each, and the treasures
within them are guarded i'm fitting
fashion. On either side of the main
entrance to the bank are two small
glass houses. In one reposes Il stately
beadle. In the other are two wide
awake detectives. Other detectives are

Troy and passed off quietly, only 135
votes being cast as compared with 152

considerable quiet work had been done

Troy Post Office Grows.

The local post office, which is a most
excellent barometer of business condi-
tions, indicates healthy state of affairs
in this community, and proves conclus-
lively that Troy is enjoying substantial
growth, During the past three quarters
the revenue as exceeded the $3.50 per
quarter allowed fourth class post mas
ters as compensation, and one more
quarter at this rate will advance it to the
third class, with considerable increase
in salary clerk hire. and better accom-
mocations for the public. By mailing
all letters atthe Office instead OF carrying
so many to the train this can be guaran-
teed. Another feature of Uucle Sans
mail system that is meeting with public
appreciation and enjoying rapid
growth is the free rural delivery out Of
Troy. The last report shows: r d

We are sometimes apt to be misled by
tn statements of our infallible editors.
Editors, as other frail mortals, will some
times run into inconsistencies which
they would not tolerate if found in their
competitors; but which they would
treat lightly if found at their own door.
Not that l charge the Troy News with
anything serious. but the article in the
News of March "a, "a Business Propo-
stion" certainly does not concur with
the article "Trade in Troy" in last weeks
issue. Another thing, how can village
or town appeal to the rural classes for
their trade when they pass ordinances
and license systems of every conceivable
description to infringe on the liberty Of
the producer to dispose of his products
where, and as it pleases him? Where is
the difference between the village anc

How True This Is.

An exchange comments thusly: There
are people in every community who get
their living off the community and
never invest a dollar to Improve the
town. They never do anything to
help the town but are always ready to
SANDER and abuse the place and the
people. II the town is not what you
want it to be, go to work and make it
better. If it is not what you would
have it, what have you done to make
it any better2 Ask yourself these plain
questions, and if the town is no good,
why don't you leave it? This is free
country and walking is good, besides
you wouldn't be missed. If some
other place is better that's the place
for you-where you can stand up fol
your own town.

Things to Forget.

If you would increase your happiness
and prolong your life, forget your neigh
boris faults. Forget the SANDER you
have heard. Forget the fault finding,
and give little thought to the cause
which provoked it. Forget the peculi-
arities of your friends, and only remem-
Der the good points which make you
fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you may have heard
by accident and which, if repeated,
would seem a thousand times worse
than they are. Blot out as far as pos
sible all the disagreeables of life; they
will come, but they will grow larger when
you remember them and the constant
thought Of acts Of meanness, or worse
still, malice, will only tend to make you
more familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yesterday,
start out with clean sheet for today
and write upon it for sweet memory
sake, only those things which are lovely
and lovable.
