Mark TwaIn's Best.

After Mark Twain had spoken for
half an hour or more at one OF hia
lectures years ago, says the Boston
Record, he concluded to take q brief
rest, and without word Of explains
ton no stopped talking and sat down.
Tho audience hardly knew what to
do. After awhile some ono more bold
than the rest got up and strobe
down the aisle and went out. Some
one else followed, and in few min
utes the hall was empty.
"Very good lecture, Mr.. Clemens"
said . local dignitary who was trying
to be polite.
"You mean the fret half of it," was
the reply. "The second half has not
been delivered"
"NOt delivered" almost shrieked
the local dignitary.
"No," said Twain, his composure
not in the least disturbed, while the
usual merry twinkle was seen in his
eye, "but We have the money for the
whole, and I don't see why We need to
worry if they only take halt"

Chip Of the Old Block.

Eddie Foy, besides being renowned
rs comedian, is celebrated in Larch.
mont, his home, for the number and
precocity of his children. A few days
ago his third, boy of seven, wanted
to 60 down to New York city to q
matinee with his father. He pleaded
hard and chung to the paternal coat
tails SO persistently that Foy nearly
lost his train.
"No, you can't 60 today" said the
funny man, finally breaking away and
sprinting for the station.
"Boo.hooI" cried young Foy after
his father; and then, Frightening up,
he shouted:
well, anyhow, give my regards to
Broadway"
George NJ. Cohan sent the young.
ster bicycle next day.

The following is a communication
from the Democratic candidate Tor
which appeared in last
weeks Lind Leader. We do not be-
lieve the voters will be>very strongly
with the cheap big 1njun"
talk, nor can we see how fondness
for voters is any special qualification
for seat in the state Legislature.
Editor of the Leader.-Desr Sir:
Will you please announce that have
ground my tomahawk and am looking
for trouble. am especially DESTROYS
of obtaining the scalp Of one j. D.
Bassett and will pursue that trophy
day and night until November 9th
and maybe longer. l enclose you a
photo. II it don't spoil whole page
you may print it, so folks may know
when they see me coming what am
after. [Gee Lind Leader, October 5,
for life size portrait.
The fact lie, don't like this climate
in winter. l think Olympia would
agree with me much better. Besides,
| l am afraid for Mr.. Bassett to &c
there any more. He might put us
all in Jail for making little over
draft-and then the commission bill
didn't regulate our tariffs very much
Please tell the people that ! am
coming to see them. l am very fond
of babies any year, but shis year in
! particular. Yours respectfully,

Can We Stand Prosperity?

Cas our people stand prosperity9
That is the question which one bust.
ness man hands to another almost 90
often "a two OF that kind meet. The
fear is that everyone is doing 90 we'll
this year in crop returns, wages and
volume of business that he will be-
come overly enthusiastic, either buy
more than he can pay for cash down,
spend all his substance instead OF
putting away q saving for future use
or will expand his operations by an
ticipating the future on the basis OF
OF the present high pressure OF bust
ness. There is real danger.
State and savings banks report an
increase in deposits. Crops have been
enormous. What could be more nat
ural than q rush for bank loans with
which to buy land for speculation
Another year the crops may not be
90 great, but the land obligations
having been made the banks can't
call back their loans to the land men,
and the mercantile and manufactur.
ing lines will be compelled to suffer a
restriction Of their short season credit
at the very time when they need
accommodation the most, owing to
slow collection as the result OF short
crops. Such men zee where the banks
are at and reduce their operations in
advance Production is curtailed
men discharged and we have hard
times.
This year is 1906 Within eighteen
months we will have entered cam
paign to nominate and elect a presi-
dent OF the United States. There is a
chronic fear of "presidential" years
among busires- men which tends to a
panic ieelns, Lets don't get too
fast. Baukrts should discourage the
land specula,oIs who must need have
their loans renewed. Men every
whore should make the most of the
present to get out OF debt. New OBJ
legations incurred may have to be
met on down hill slide in business D.
No one is predicting a panic, but it
takes wise head to stand prosperity.
In times when nearly everyone. is
prospering the majority of them must
be wise or the country as a whole will
not be able to stand pr osperity be.
csuse the individuals composing it
have failed to do so.
