BACKED UP FRIENDS STORY.
clrcumstantaI Evidence That Shut
of All Debate.

Clrcumstantial Evidence That Shu,
of All Debate.
Judge Henry A. Shute, the author
of The Real Diary of a Real Boy,
was born in Exeter, N. H., and an Exc
ter man said Of him the other day:
Harry Shute and | used to fish to
gether in our childhood. Many a mess
of brook trout, perch and horned pout
we hooked before we knew how to
read or write.
zone day when We were fishing a
city boy Joined us. He sat down on
a piece of granite rock, and while We
flshed he lied to us about city life.
when we got through l thought
would do a little lying for the coun
trys sake.
"'You see that farm over there?'
said. We'll, that farm belongs to Cy
rus Skinner, our champion farmer
Do you know how much butter and
cheese Cyrus Skinner makes? Why
he makes 100000 pounds of butter
ana 100000 pounds Of cheese q
year
THE city boy looked skeptical anC
turned to Shute TO back me up.
turned a little tlmidly, though, for
Shute was, as a rule, a truthful boy.
"Ain't that so, Harry? I said
Don't Cyrus Skinner make 100000
pounds of butter and 100000 pounds
of cheese a year,
"'Well,' says Harry, 4 can't say as
ever heard precisely how much
cheese and butter Skinner makes, but
[ know for a fact that he has clever
sawmills that all run by buttermilk.'

Crushed WouId-Re Song Writer.

Paul Dresser has been deluged Of
late years by letters begging for ad'
vice in the art of song-writing. While
realizing that musicians are born and
not made, he has always tried to re-
turn as helpful an answer as posi-
bile. But even patience has its occa-
sional Waterloo. and Dresser's came
last week. He was riding uptown on
a Broadway car when a total stranger
dropped into the seat beside him with
the remark:
you're Paul Dresser, the song
writer, aren't your"
Dresser admitted the discriminating
fact.
WELL" went on the stranger, give
been wanting to meet you. haven't
much time to spare, so I'd like you
to tell me in as few words as posi-
BILE what are the absolutely necessary
requirements for writing popular
song"
"The absolutely necessary require,
ments," responded Dresser, rising to
leave the car, are pen. ink. paper
and brains. I'm afraid that last clause
bars you out."-New York World.

WE'RE AFRAID OF BATH TUB.
Continuance Was Convenient, but Had
Awful Possibilities.

Contrlvance was convenient, but Hao
Awful Possibilities.
It would seem that the Harlem fiat
architect has at last reached the limit
Of space economy.
On their return from the country
two women of moderate means set out
in quest of an apartment which should
combine the maximum of respectable.
ity with the minimum of rent. They
found this a discouraging business.
They were frowned upon by janitors
and snubbed by bellboys. They trav-
eled up and down miles of stairway.
They inspected sixroOmand-bath
suites by the dozen, but found nothing
to suit both their tastes and their
pocketbooks All the apartments they
saw were either cheap and nasty or
desirable and dear.
But when finally they reached an
imposing yellow brick edifice with
plate glass doors and marble halls,
and a rent that made them raise their
eyebrows in surprise, they seemed to
have found at last the combination
they sought.
you'll find there's a reason" SAID
the younger woman
But there didn't seeR to he. The
rooms were light and pleasant; there
was a gas range(and hot water sup
ply. -
But where is the BATH" they
asked.
For answer the janitor turned to a
panel in the back parlor and pressed
a button. The panel slid back and dis
clOsed-a bath tub!
The women looked at each other.
"Would you?" asked one.
But a caller might inadvertently
touch the button" said the other.
This suggestion settled it, and they
are still fiat hunting.

Cure for Bowed Legs.

A happy mother whose little boys
tess had been frightfully bowed and
had become straight. upon being con-
graduated told how the cure had been
accomplished. 1t was by the simple
method of riding a Yelocipede, there
by combining much pleasure for the
little fellow with the treatment for
his little limbs. This certainly seems
sn easy, inexpensive and pleasant way
20 cure a deformity that is quite com.
mon among children. It could do no
harm to give it trial.

Clerks Realize.

Clerks in merchantiIe houses
often see what their employers
either do not see or will recog-
nize or admit. More than once
when entering a store to solicit
advertising, clerks have said to
us: Get out of here Mr.. Dick,
we are working hard enough
now without any more adver-
Using. They Immediately in
labor caused by it, feel the diff
ference when good advertise
ments go out and "de boss in
increased business must also
feel it, but won't it or 1t does
teach them the lesson. 1t pays
big to advertise, that it ought
to.

Give WARNING on Match Boxes.

It is interesting to learn Just now,
when there is so much being done to
prevent the spread of tuberculosis by
expectoration, that the Argentine
Health Department has been working
on different lines to accomplish the
same end. Simple instructions ex-
planning how to prevent the spread of
tuberculosis have been printed on the
labels of more than eight million
match boxes sent out as an expert
ment.

AS A NEW
Man Sees Monroe City and Suggests
Benefits

On on all sides | hear the talk
of Greater Monroe. Why
talk of this empty kind should
now be in evidence is a mystery
to me. Monroe is a new city and
our interests should be to make
ii better Monroe is now or in
short time will be at stand
still if the capitalists do not
interest themselves in enter
prise. This city is a centre OF
great possibilities. 1t is the
centre OF trade in this section. II
can be made the centre of future
con merce ard manufacture.
For instance, there is right ir
this town everything to en-
courage Wooden Manufactures

and West, 1t could also be
made great tanning and shoe
centre. 1t is very favora bly,
situated, for there are three
great out going channels. The
Burlington. the NJ. K, & T., and
Wabash railroads
What is necessary to raise
this city bove the level OF 9TH
ers like il? 1t has gotten
good start why not push it
along?
The enc thing necessary is a
Rttd water and sewerage sys-
tenn. Were such an attraction
and bent tit once esta blishedan
all the capitalists take hold of
the enterprise and others that
would follow our city in a short
time would reach the 100000
mark, The great manufacture S
OF the East who are looking for
an opportunity to expand their
business could not pass us by
as often as they do. Our new
