TOOK GIRL AS HIS REWARD.
Youths Choice May Have Been Wise,
Under the Circumstances.

Senator Beveridge was condemning
a VIGOROUSLY corrupt and notoriously
plausible capitalist.
THE man speaks WELL" said Sena-
tor Beveridge. "He promises much.
II he acted as he talked, he would
be famous for his goodness. But, alas!
he is like the German who nearly lost
his daughter.
This German. with his daughter,
was walking beside a deep stream on
a summer afternoon when the young
girl slipped on a stone, fell in. And
she would have drowned but for the
prompt bravery of a youth. He,
slipping of coat and shoes, plunged
In, and after four or five minutes OF
hard work, brought the girl safe
ashore.
The old German father was trans
ported.
'Noble-minded youth, said he, we
do, indeed, owe you a debt of graft
tude. A hundred thousand marks or
my daughters hand-choose! Which
shall it be?'
THE youth, who was no less wise
than brave, thought to himself that IL
he took the daughter he would some
day get the money also, and, accord
ingly, without a moments hesitation,
he made answer:
L choose your daughter
A wise choice said the old IA
ther. 1 could not have given you the
100000 marks, for / am a poor cob
bier; but you shall have the girl, and
that gladly. Join hands, dear chill
dren, and receive my blessing"

AMERICAN WINNER, AS USUAL.
Upheld Greatness of His Native Coun-
try and Retained His Bank Roll.

A Frenchman, a German, an Eng.
hshman and an American were sit
ting before an open fire, each one
telling of the greatness of his native
country.
While speaking the Frenchman took
from his wallet dollar bill, rolled
1t up, touched it to the Goals, and
lighted cigar with 1t.
The others were impressed, and
soon the German opened his wallet.
brought forth a ten-dollar bill. rolled
it up. touched it to the Goals, and
lighted his cigar with it.
The Englishman thought IL very
foolish, but he could not be outdone.
nor have it appear that England was
not, as ever, the richest OF all, so he
calmly took a 500 bill and sacrificed
it to light his cigar.
The American looked on in wonder.
He hadn't even a dollar bill with him.
and yet he knew he represented the
leading race of all-which was never
outwitted nor outdone by anyone or
any country; so he quietly drew forth
a checkbook, wrote a check for s1O.-
600 on prominent New York bank.
duly signed it, rolled it up, touched il
to the Goals. and lighted his cigar
with 1t, while his confreres watched
him curiously and intently.-Ladies'

India's Cotton Crop.

The cotton crop of India was larg.
er last year, 1905, than the general
average. About 20,0O0.OO0 acres were
planted in cotton and the yield was
about $500 900 bales. During the year
there were exported from India TO
other countries over 2.125,0O0 bales
OF raw cotton at value of over $751;
100000, the four countries, Japan. Ger
many, Belgium and italy, in the order
named, being the largest purchasers,
they together buying nearly 100000
bales of Indian cotton, while japan

MEANING OF MoLEs.

On the right side of the upper lip
a mole promises great good fortune to
both sexes.
A mole on the neck, in man or wom-
an, promises a long and happy life,
wealth and fame.
A science, or pseudo-science, OF
moles has existed among the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch for many years.
A man with a mole in the middle OF
his forehead has a cruel mind; a wom-
an with such a mole is foolish, idle and
envious.
man with a mole on the left side
of the upper lip rarely marries. and
such a mole in the case of woman
denotes suffering.
mole on the right side z. mans
forehead denotes wonderful luck; on
the right side of a woman's forehead,
gifts from the dead.
On the left side of mans forehead
a mole denotes long term In prison; {;
on the left side of a woman's forehead,
two husbands, and life of exile.
According TO this science, no one Is
without mole or two, and these are
some of ,he representations that
mole wearers may draw from their
brown ornaments.

PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.

The fatted calf never loves the
prodigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe it.
Alas, that fools are prosperous. Is
1t their penalty or reward?
How many of us in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins?
To think an original thought is to
take a step nearer the divine.
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately.
1t is easier for some people to be-
lieve the impossible than the pos
sible.
Before it was thrown down, the
Golden Calf had son, and it is still
mooing around the world.
1t is self-evident that to success
fully fathom the motives of men one
must be a man himself. To an idiot
to a lunatic-all men are either
idiots or lunatics.

Question for Rotanists-

1t has often been observed that any
sudden change in the superficial char
acter of the soil is rapidly followed
by an alteration in the nature of the
plants growing thereon, new species
appearing where the ground has hith-
erto been stranger to them. Very
many farmers, foresters and scien-
tific men-among others the French
botanist Poisson-are inclined to at
tribute this phenomenon to the reten-
tion by seeds, bulbs or spores OF a
former growth os vegetation in a
quiescent state, these seeds and
growths retaining their powers Of
termination even after several other
successive crops OF plants have grown
above them,

suddenly came into the gray orbs of
the boss, and roughly he shouldered
his way to the back of the shack and
drew a small cylinder from his
pocket.
Dynamite cartridge with two-min-
ute TAIL" he said as he sat 1t upon the
wood box and held flaming match
above it. You want to dance and fight
some more do you. Well, unless you
hike out of here you'll all be doing a
quick-step tonight for the devil"
No man knew just how far White
Horse would go in the enforcement or
an order, and now none waited to see.
Struggling, cursing. roaring they fought
their way out of the door and went
swarming down the track, while the
boss, extinguishing the fuse, stepped
out on to the trampled snow and threw
his cartridge deep into the woods. Far
down the track the runaways were stag
gering into the distance, wrangling and
bowling insanely.
The afternoon sun sank until II
seemed TO rest on the tops of the west
ern forest like broad gold piece poised
delicately. And the walking boss, aris-
ing from a log beside his cutter where
he had sat for an hour following the
rout, climbed up to the seat Back along
the rough woods trail he went until the
cleaning ice road lay before him, then
turned upon 1t.
AS his half-galloping ponies swung
arodnd a bend of the forest road, they
suddenly arose upon their hind legs
with wild pawings at the air. Less than
a dozen yards in front of them and ly-
ing fiat upon his back on the ice, was
the first of the fallen that White Horse
had feared would litter the homeward
route.
The legs of the lumber-jack kicked
spasmodically and White Horse, short
ening his reins, leaped to the ice. Cant
leave you here to freeze up solid" he
grunted as he dumped the limp form
headlong into the sleigh box behind.
morrow"
At the next turn of the road the
first oath that had escaped his lips
that day burst from him explosively.
Fairly in front of him, locked in each
others arms as they had gone to
sleep fighting, were Jimmp Hard Boots
and ole Sawlog. Along the next hun
dred yards four more men were strewn
like skirmishers fallen in battle.
One by one the walking boss labori-
ously raised them and piled them upon
each other in the box, wedging the last
man firmly between the dashboard and
the seat.
The moon sailed high and the black
shadows of the forest lay heavily upon
the clearings. White Horse, hurrying
back from Camp ., where hs had been
summoned to quell an incipient riot,
drew a deep breath as he threw open
the door of the cook shop.
They are sleeping all right now.
THEY'LL be in fair shape to break their
hacks again tomorrow, and most like
ly they won't lick up another drop OF
frewater until after the drive in the
spring. Poor devilsl There isn't much

TO HOLDERS
Of
u. S. 4s of 1907

Your bonds will be paid off by the Gov
ernment at par on July /, 1907. or less than
one year from now.
Owing to the demand for Government
bonds, due to the appointment at the present
time of large number of temporary public
depositaries, we are in position to pay you
for your bonds almost as much as you will
receive from the Government in principal
and interest even though you should hold
them to maturity.
We can pay 1o34, or at the rate of
sI,o32. so, for a $1,000 bond. To retain
your bonds when you can sell them at this
price is equivalent to your investing your
funds at the rate of less than q of 10 per
annum.
Conditions are unusually favorable to
the reinvestment of your funds Railroad
bonds of the highest type are much lower
than they have ruled for several years.
If you are interested in taking advantage
of the peculiarly favorable opportunity to
sell your maturing Government bonds, we
shall be pleased to have you write us. In
case you have S., ooo or more of bonds, we
shall be glad to have you wire us at our
expense.
