Do NOT let the fact slip your
memory for an instant that some
means of obtaining information
from up river points is absolutely
essential during the time when
the river is above normal. Reports
come in of serious crop losses from
overflow, and the residents of the
affected districts are positively
without any means OF information
as to the condition OF the river. A
telephone line would afford relief
if no other means can be secured,
and the matter should be taken in
hand by some capable party who
Is IN position to make the proper
representations as to the demand
for and the necessity of some mode
of getting authentic information.

says Harpers Weekly, is accus-
toned to test the ability and self
possession of the students by send
ing them into the pulpit with a
sealed envelope in their hands
containing the text of a sermon to
be delivered on the spur of the
moment.
On one such occasion the stud
ent, on opening his paper, read
these instruction: Apply the
story of Zaccheus to your own
circumstances and your call to the
ministry"
The student. cleverly enough.
delivered himself of the following:
Brethren, the subject on which
address you is comparison be-
tween Zaccheus and myself with
reference to my qualifications for
the pulpit. The first thing we
read of Zaccheus is that he was
small of stature. I never felt so
small as do now. In the second
place, we read that Zaccheus was
up a tree, which is very much my
position at present. Thirdly, it is
related that Zaccheus made haste
to come down; and in this I gladly
and promptly follow his example. "

The Value of Advertising

The Value OF Advertising.
Advertising is the keynote of sue
cess in nearly every business, whe-
Their that business be the develop
ment of a State, city or an in
dividual industry. Boston's prop
osition to spend 500, 900 in ad-
vertising is more than matched by
St. Louis, which expects to spend
several times that amount in gen
eral advertising. The South is
seeking immigration and new in
dustries, and yet most Southern
Legislatures would regard an an
nual expenditure Of $40, 900 to at
tract Immigration as bordering on
wild extravaganza, but Cuba wants
immigration, and does not need it
one half as badly as the South, and
its Congress has voted 81, 900, 900
to be expended in that work. A
few days ago a Florida planter
came into the Office OF the Man
ufacturers' Record 20 inquire
whether he could be directed to
any source from which he could
secure farm laborers. My plant
tation, said he, produces only
about 100 bales of cotton annually,
against 400 bales before the war,
simply because of the lack of labor
to cultivate it. From truck
grower in the same State comes
a similar appeal. II fact, every
where throughout the farming
regions the cry for labor is as pro-
nounced as in the factories and
mines. Landowners are begging
for men to cultivate their idle prop
erty, furnaces and mines are run
ming far short of their capacity be-
cause workers are not to be had,
cotton mills are consuming half a
million bales less than they would
be using if they could put their
idle spindles and looms to work,
and yet while the South is doing
much talking about these needs, it
is really doing but little active work.
The State which needs Iaborers
must follow Boston 5 example and
be ready to spend literally and
get them. The average man would
think that certainly Boston, with
its vast wealth and its great indus
trial interests (the factories within
the limits in 1900 exceeding in
capital the aggregate manufactur
ing capital of Georgia and Alabama |
in the same year, would hardly |
need to advertise; but the spirit of
New England knows no limit to
its activities, and to this spirit is !
due the wealth and industry of that
section. Surely in this good work
Boston could be proftably initiated
by every State and every town in
the South, and likewise by every
business man in the land.-The

steelyards hold their own l can re-
member how popular they We're with
certain farmers wives when I was
boy in the country and what delight
it was to me to be allowed to try my
hand at weighing roll of butter or
bag of wool. But even then the women
and children We're the only persons who
seemed to take much stock in steel
yards. The tradesmen who bought our
produce very fatty said that the figures
represented by steelyards not only
could but did tell lies, and they pro-
ceeded to weigh all our stuff over again
on scales that We're supposed to have
the quality of truthfulness.
up to the present day steelyards
have had the reputation of being unre-
liable, but in spite of their i'll repute
people still buy them. Just why so
many householders and tradesmen re-
tain their fondness for an antiquated
style of weighing machine when there
are so many new and approved pat

Qualified to Practice.

When John Hay was crossing the
Atlantic in 1865 on his way to Paris
to serve as secretary of legation he
told the following anecdote to one OF
his fellow travellers: On applying for
admission to the bar of Illinois he was
summoned to appear before Il commit
tee of prominent Chicago lawyers to be
examined as to his qualifications.
He Went to the place appointed and
found the committee assembled, but
for long time they took no notice Of
the young candidate. but continued
talking vigorously together on various
subjects. At last one of the lawyers,
turning to him, said:
MIR. Hay, what would you do if
client should come to you with such
case as this?" and proceeded to de-
scribe very deliberately complicated
legal case.
Il should ask for retaining fee Of
$50" promptly replied Mr.. Hay. "and
tell him to call tomorrow"
Mr.. Hay, you are admitted" said
the gentleman, and with hearty
laugh from all present the proceedings
closed.

ty rods beyond where she had left the
blackboard there was a rocky bluff hid
den under the cedars and in the bluff
a cave of considerable dimensions.
Upon entering the cave he tied the
girls hands and feet and then retraced
his steps. The vehicle was backed off
the brink of gorge. the harness flung
over 1T, and then the man led the horse
into thicket and cut it's throat.
When he reappeared at the cave he
unbound his victim and lay down on a
fiat stone at the mouth and told her his
plans. He had heard of brigands and
holdups and abductions He had alb
Quoted her and would hoN her captive
until Colonel Spear was willing to
come down with $1,000 in cash and
promise not to set the law on his trail.
He had been wondering for several
years how he could make grand coup,
but fate had never aided him before.
He knew the Chinese cook at Crescent
ranch and through him could get pro-
visions and open communication with
the colonel. She would be we'll treat
ed, but she would be held captive in
the cave until results could be brought
about.
Lung Sing rested OH his right side
and elbow as he told his story. The
sun had got far in the west, and as it
shone over the hill forming the roof of
the cave it cast shadows down in front
AS the story was finished, and it had
been listened to without word in re-
ply, Lung Sing began to whistle. He
had brought his plot safely thus far
and felt that he had right to whistle.
AS he whiStled new shadow appeared
among the shadows. 1t fell upon the
fiat stone at the Chinaman's heels and
was so clean cut that the girl drew In
her breath at sight Of it. She knew it
for the head Of u great cat. The head
moved to and fro, and the ears worked
backward and forward, and all the time
the man lying there was whistling to
himself. He may have wondered why
the captive did not shed tears and ap-
peal to his mercy, or he may have men
tally praised her for the bold front she
put on. She was ready enough to weep,
and she would have appealed but for
that shadow. 1t fascinated her and
for the time being made her oblivious of
her situation. Sometimes it disappear
ed for moment but always to reap
pear and to seem to grow larger and be-
come more menacing. By and by Lung
Sing ceased to whistle and said:
II tile you up again and go away"
He had lifted himself off his elbow
when there was scream so fierce that
the hills rang, and tawny body alight-
ed on the recumbent Chinaman, strug-
gled with him for moment. and then
was gone from sight among the cedars.
The girl rose up and stared, but Lung
Sing was gone as we'll. The big noun
tain lion had carried him off as easily
as a cat carries mouse.
Didn't tell you?" said the foreman
Of the Star ranch at midnight that
night when the girl had been found
wandering on the plains and brought in
by searching party. cit isn't in the
nature of Chinaman to whistle. He
just sulks and grunts. When you find
him whistling, look out for him, for
there'll be mischief to pay in some
shane"
