A general discussion ensued, and
when the meeting broke up little
later they wore a look of determine
tion, which boded ill for Perkins.
He came back to the farm next day,
and, at dinner hour he was approached
by the spokesman of the previous
evening.
"Mr. Perkins, we would like few
moments conversation with you."
Certainly. What is it about2"
"We have come to the conclusion
that your little plan to enrich yourself,
through US, will not work."
"What do you meanP"
"You know perfectly we'll what we
mean. You calculated to receive our
money and labor free, in return for
an imaginary tuition, in the science of
farming. We did not see through it at
first, but we do now. We want our
money back"
swell, you have your nerve," blus-
tered Perkins "YOu'll get no money
out of me. You came here to learn
farming, and you can't learn it better
than by doing it. You can either
work or get out. but don't talk about
money back. That's not"
"Mr. Perkins, we are going to have
our money back" said the Englishman
calmly. "We want to get it peaceably,
but we are going to get it,"
There was something in the English
mans tone which sent chill down
Perkins back. 1t seemed a very de-
cided tone. He clustered some more,
but the Englishman interrupted and
called his fellows over to him. They
surrounded Perkins and he felt very
/ uncomfortable.
"Mr. Perkins," went on the spokes-
man, "you will kindly write to your
partner in Winnipeg, instructing him
to draw all the money out of the bank,
and bring it here"
cpl do nothing of the Sort"
you'll do just that or take the con
sequences of your refusal. We mean
business"
Perkins saw that it was useless to
argue. He was in the power of these
men, and saw no way out of it. He
tried to compromise, but it was no use.
1t ended in his doing as they requested.
When affairs were settled up, and
the farm abandoned, as it had to be,
the firm of Perkins & BlackIer found
itself stranded in Winnipeg, with only
a few weeks board money in the treas
ury
Their next venture will be related
: at some future date. A. d. ANAC.

HERKINS was down, but he
- wasn't out. His friend and
partner, Blackler, was in very
despondent mood, for the
future did not seem to hold out any
alluring promises, as it had i'll the
past. True, the promises had not been
fulfilled, but they had served to keep
hope from being entirely extinguished.
Perkins felt pretty blue himself, but
he had great faith in his own genius,
and his star of hope was still in the
ascendant. Their latest enter prise had
just proven failure, and the excheq-
uer was perilously low. In month it
would be cleaned out, provided it was
not repIenished in some manner which
had yet to be devised. So they sat
brooding on the balcony of their hotel,
consuming many cigarettes and say
ing little. Suddenly Perkins spoke.
"Say, Blackler, what did you tell me
once about a farm up in Canada? ?"
"Why, an old uncle of mine has one,
somewhere up there, and he told me
l could have it if I'd work it. But l
haven't come down to farming yet,
altho may have to before long,"
"Well, old man, that's what we're
going to do now."
"What, you? 1 think l see you wear
ling blue jeans and hobnails, and hand.
ling a pitchfork. You don't mean it p
"Don't l tho? I'll show you
Let's 60 to the room, and~ I'll outline
my scheme"
They rose, and passed through the
hall, finally entering small room, thai
served them for bedroom, dressing
room and parlor. Here Perkins talked
and wrote rapidly, and when he was
through Blackler exclaimed admiringly
"By thunder! l believe you are right
Perkins you're wonder!'
"NOt at all, old man; not at all
Necessity is the mother of invention
Now we'll pack up and hike TO
Canada"
Two days later saw them installed il
an inexpensive hotel in Winnipeg
which was to be their headquarters fo
the present. Two weeks later the fol
lowing advertisement appeared in sew
eral leading English weeklies:

practical farming, on large scale

TT is gratifying to note the interest
that is manifested in this subject,
for since the publication of pre-.
vious article on shorthand there
have come to me great many requests
for more information. This being so,
it is a genuine pleasure to assist those
who are inclined to make the most out
of very unfortunate situation, and
whose ambitions do not end with their
present capabilities.
There have been some "Doubting
Thomases" with reference to the earn
ing capacities of first-class stenogra-
pliers and reporters. If, in stating that
the salaries of first-class men reach the
almost unbelievable sum of thirty
thousand dollars per year, have mis-
stated the facts, the error has been on
the right side. l do not in the least
doubt that there are reporters earning
twice that sum. l think too that there
is much reason for such belief. A case
not month old will serve as fair
and average example.
The school-teachers of Brooklyn,
have combined in engaging counsel in
New York to present to the city their
claims for back pay amounting to
nearly $2,5OO,OOO.OO in the event of
success the attorney will receive a fee
of f$4OO,OOO.OO The preparation of these
claims, numbering 3,418 separate ac-
tions, has consumed a month of time
and makes two printed volumes OF
3,414 pages. weighing twenty-one
pounds. The first suit has been tried
with the decision in favor of the
teachers.
Now, the law of New York-as wei
as nearly all states-defines very clear
ly what shall be reporters charges
for transcripts, attendance, mileage
fees, etc. Reporters in courts that have
no regular paid reporter, are paid
certain amount per diem for attend
ance and a stated amount for eacf
folio 600 words) taken down and tran
scribed, with an additional allowance
for extra copies OF the record. A
every figure, punctuation mark o.
other character is counted as one word
it will readily be seen that typewrit
ten sheet, legal size, contains NOR
words than one would imagine or ex
pect. A page averages about two hun
dred words. In actual court reporting
however, the pages are never averaged
Each word is counted, every hun
dredth word being underscored and tn
number put in the margin. The law
further prescribe that the reporter ma
collect his charges on delivery of tn
transcript, the same being considere
a lien upon the work. This was mad
to prevent shyster lawyers from secul
ing valuable documents withou
payment therefor. The stenographer
bill for the transcribing of the claim
in the case of the Brooklyn schoo
teachers would be about as follows:
