BOTH WE'RE "FAIR."

Years ago, when the late Frank
Everest was claim agent of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, bunch of cattle was
killed by a train near Stockton, says
the Atchison Globe. A Stockton law
yer came to Atchison, representing the
owner of the cattle, and said to Mr..
Everest: 81 am a reasonable man.
know the railroad company is not made
of gold. I know that many unreason-
able demands are made on the railroad
company. Therefore I want to be just
and make a proposition that you will
recognize as fair and accept. Give me
$1,000 and / will receipt the claim
The cattle were worth about $20o.
But Mr.. Everest wasn't disturbed by
the mans nerve. On the contrary, he
said: II am glad to have met a man
who is fair, who knows right from,
wrong. We meet so few men of this
kind that it is a pleasure to meet you.
Your fairness has impressed me so
much that I am going to meet you in
the same way; indeed, I will show my
ton for your unusual liberality;
I will give you $50 Suit was brought
and the claim finally settled for 1912,

the surrender at Appomatox was an
nounced and delirious multitudes call
ed upon him for a speech. brings this
comment from Mrs. Martha Lockett
Avary in her recent work, Dixie After
the War: ''It was moment for easy
betrayal into words that might widen
the breach between the sections. he

BILLIARDS DEFINED.

John Morgan, the champion pool
player, told at a dinner in st. Louis q
billiard story.
Billiards is a tame amusement be-
side pool Mr.. Morgan began. Two
Hindoos were once discussing the game
in Calcutta, and I think that their idea
of it was pretty near the right one.
''what is this white mans game OF
billiards that I hear so much about?'
said the first Hindoo.
Don't you know?' said the second.
- No. Tell me-
WELL said the second Hindoo,
billiards is a very simple game. Two
men armed with long sticks poke at
a ball on green table, and one says,

THE PROFESSORS BLUFF.

The Russkoje Slowa tells the follow
ing story about Professor Kowaleski:
THE doctor was seated in his consul
tation room in mountain resort
where he practises his profession sew
eral months every year The last pa
tient admitted was a burly man, who
sat quietly in the chair opposite the
doctors desk until the latter looked up
and asked: What can 1 do for you?
The man drew a paper out of his
pocket and handed it to the professor,
who read: I want 5000 rubles.' After
a pause of few minutes the written
request was laid on the desk and the
doctor said: I have no money, but if
1 had 1 would not give it to YOU.
We shall see,' said the alleged pa
tient, drawing from the same pocket a
large revolver. so we SHALL said the
doctor, pointing a weapon of equal
size at the intruder. So they sat sew
eral minutes, when the burly man low
cred his weapon, saying, 7 shall not
harm YOU and passed out through the
waiting room into the street. Profess |
sor Kowalewski said he would have |
followed the man if his weapon had |
been loaded"

THE DOCTORS CONVICTION.

In speaking of the leaders of the
timer Circle" and their methods, The
London Academy relates an amusing
story to the effect that at meeting
in a darkened room blue luminous
cross appeared. The black gowned
woman who was in charge said: "Ah,
Cardinal Newman-it isn't many even
ings but we don't see some sign of
i'm Immediately after this intro
duction a voice was heard: "Benedic-
ton, my children" The story recall
ed one told by the late DR.. Julius Wise.
He consented to attend a meeting of
spiritualists near his home on College
Hill, Ohio. and was surprised when
shadowy form in the darkened room
was referred to by the medium as his
mother, who had died a short time be-
fore. The alleged spirit spoke of sew
eral members of the family and "sent
her love to her husband" the Rev.
DIR. Isaac NJ. Wise. ASK some ques-
tion," the medium urged, and the
young doctor said: eff you are the
spirit of my mother repeat the

Soon after his first baby was born
his wife went upstairs one evening and
found him standing by the side OF the
crib and gazing earnestly at the child.
She was touched by the sight, and tears
filled her eyes. Her ans stole softly
around his neck as she rubbed her
cheek caressingly against his shoulder.
He started slightly at the touch. Oar

incomprehensible to me how they can

REPARTEE OF ARCHIE WILLIAMS

REPARTEE OF ARCHIE WILLIAMS.
The favorite summer home of the
late Archie Williams was well up on
Pixies peak, mile or so above the
Half Way house. One of the trails
frequented by tourists going up to the
summit passed a short distance from
his home. Near the trail General Will
Hams had converted a tree stump into
an arm chair, and one of his favorite
diversions was to sit there and have
fun with the passing tourists. AS is
generally known by his Kansas ac-
quaintances, his old SLOUGH hat and
careless manner of dress gave him the
appearance of hobo" in which he
appeared to take enjoyment. Tourists
the world over are ever ready to make
comments, and General Williams
shabby appearance would lead them
into a trap where his brilliant wit
would turn the table on them. Not
long ago a party of some size was pass
ing the general, and one woman. who
appeared to be a leader in the crowd, |
called out, Hello, old man, what are
you waiting for?" ."I have been wait |

Meanwhile the equatorial canals

BIG ELEPHANT SAVES CASH.
Then Buys Ice Cream When Out with
His Keeper.

New York.-Gunda, the big Indian
elephant in the Bronx zoo. showed the
keepers and visitors the other day
why he has been saving the pennies
which visitors give him. Incidentally
he came near wrecking the ice cream
and soda water stand.
Gunda deposits every penny he gets
in bank and registers 1t by ringing
small bell at the top of his cage.
Almost every visitor gives the ele-
phant a coin to see him ring it up"
This money he guards jealousy. and
several times he has attacked keepers
who got too near his cash box.
Keeper Thurman took Gunda out
for his customary stroll recently. Ac-
cording to Thurman, Gunda had con-
cealed In his trunk a number of coins
from his reservoir. When they reach
ed the icecream and soda water stand
kept by Joe Stanley Gunda dropped a
dozen coins on the counter. Stanley
picked up the coins and Gunda's keep
er tried to get him away from the
place, but Gunda refused to move and
upset the cash register and many bot
ties and cans with his trunk.
1t dawned on the attendants that
the elephant expected ice cream for
his money, so Stanley dished up
enough ice cream for a troop of chill
dren. The elephant became quiet
and began to eat the ice cream.
When he had finished Thurman
tried to get Gunda to move on. but
Gunda would not move SO long as
there was ice cream in sight. Three
more elephant portions had to be
served.

CONGRESSMEN PLANNING
TRIP TO THE ISTHMUS

w ASHINGToN.-A subcommittee
w of the committee on appropria-
tons OF the next congress will go to
gate Secretary Taft's canal estimates
for 1909. If present plans are carried
out
The proposed visit is the outcome
of suggestion from Representative
James A. Tawney of Minnesota. chair
man of the appropriations committee
in the last congress. who was at the
isthmus following the adjournment
last March. He believes 1t will be to
the best interests of the service, as
well as to those directly and Indirect
ly In charge of the administration of
the forces at work there, If the mem
berss of the appropriations committee
having in charge the preparation of
the sundry civil bill go to the isthmus
with the estimates for the next fiscal
year and consider them carefully with
the officials having supervision of ex-
penditures for all kinds of work being
done.
The suggestion has met with a
hearty response from those identified
with the commissions work. who be-
lieve that a great deal of good will
result from a heart to heart talk be-
tween the congressman who prepare
the appropriation and the officials
who spend It, and that 1t will clear
away In advance any misapprehen-
sions or misunderstanding that may
exist as to the justness and propriety
of alloting the money estimated to be
necessary for the years work. OF
particular Importance is the proposed
visit regarded at the present time,
when the question is now before the
president whether the commission
can lawfully expend during the pres
ent fiscal year any more money than
was specifically appropriated, Col.
Goethals having reported to the au
thorities in Washington that the work
has progressed SO rapidly that 1t will
be In the interest of true economy to
exceed that amount to the extent of
$S,00O.000. and by reason of which
he thinks a years time will be saved
In the completion of the great water
way.
Officials here think congress may.
as result of the observations of the
, members of the appropriations com
mittee who go to the isthmus, see fit
to provide legislation under which
work may proceed, regardless OF the
appropriations, IL this authority does
not already exist. The committee
will return to Washington in time for
the opening of congress in December

BIG GROWTH is SHOWN
IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

EVER since tina. day, nearly three
Il centuries ago. when a spotted calf
vent for walk through the fields of
a Massachusetts Bay colony. and 30
laid out the first street In New Eng
land, old Brindle and her family have
been of much Importance In the do
nestle and commercial life OF Amer
lea. This is the cows only recorded
use as street-makers, but as producers
of the great milk. butter and cheese
supply of the nation they have
series of long and successful years
back of them
The dairy industry OF the United
States is a congenial study for those
who like statistics. The growth has
been tremendous. There are more.
than 21.O00.OO0 cows MIXED In the
United States every day, each gives
$500 pounds of milk a year, making
the annual output of this country
about 70.000.000,000 pounds of milk.
1t is disposed of in various ways. A
little over half of II is required for
the making of butter. 1000. .000, 900
pounds of 1t goes into condensed
milk, 5000. 100000 into cheese, and the
rest is sold as cream, fed to the
calves, or divided among the people of
the country, each of whom should re
ceive seven-tenths OF pound of milk
a day-a good-sized tumbler full.
If the cows were all told off and as
signed to specific duty in this dairy
products business. 100000 of them
would be required to furnish the milk.
condensed milk and cream; 10000, 900
would confine their attention solely
to butter. and would each be expected
to furnish 1917 pounds a year; S40.-
900 would be assigned to the cheese
industry. and the remaining number
would have the raising of all the
calves.
AS each individual in the United
States 10 supposed to eat 20 pounds
OF butter each year. the Brindle fam
lily cannot quite supply 1t. SO we still
import something like $4,000 pounds
to make up the deficiency One-third
OF the nations output OF butter comes
from the farms where 3,5O0,0O farm
ers and their families. still churn II.
pack 1t in firkins or tubs and deliver
1t to the nearest shipping point. Over
5000 factories make the rest of the

nually.
Chicago, New York. Philadelphia.
