Road side Wit.

He who matched wits with the au-
thor of THE Ancient Mariner" had in
deed lively task before him, for Cole
ridge was never caught mapping. The
poet was so awkward a horseman that
his riding often attracted comment of
anything but a complimentary nature.
One day he was riding along the turn
pike road in the county of Durham
when n wag who met him fastened
upon him as an excellent subject for
sport Consequently he drew rein and
said in an impertinent drawl:
"My graceful friend. did you happen
to meet tailor on the roadf"
I'm inclined to think | did, said
Coleridge meditatively. Il was not
sure at the moment, but he said some
thing about my meeting a goose far
ther along the road
The wag put spurs to his horse, and
the poet logged calmly on his way.

Food and Wages.

By way of consolation for the high
cost of living the Bureau of Labor at
Washington assures wage.workers that
their pay last year increased one-third
faster than the prices of their food. 10
quote its exact figures, in the principal
industry of the country the average
weekly earnings of each employee in
1906 were SO per cent greater than in
1905. while the retail prices of food for
representative workingmen's families
were only 80 per cent. higher than in
1905.
Statisticians love exact conclusions
and Government officials f1attering re-
ports. But what useful information do
they contribute by striking the average
of prices of picked pork, evaporated ap-
pies and fresh fish, which different
households consume in different quanti-
ties and some not at all How can they
select forty from the thousands of indus
tries in the United States for comparison
of wages with cost Of living and issue
any sweeping generalization as to price
tendencies that will command respect?
With truly exemplary discretion the
Bureau of Labor has not considered the
circumstances of the millions of salaried
men and women-clerks, statesmen, book
keepers and others-working for fixed
weekly pay. What comfort has it to
offer them by comparing their salaries
with the higher or lower cost of dried
fruit or fish?
There is one infallible source of facts
that the painstaking gentlemen VINO edit
Government tables fail to consult. That
is the plain, everyday housekeeper who
out of her weekly allowance buys the
daily provisions for the family. She
may not have a precise knowledge of
fractional percentages or of any industry
outside her own home, but if asked fol
her personal experience she could state
with certainty that month by month
and year by year it has been growing
harder under the excessive rise in prices
to make both ends meet.-World.

Commercially, then, the growth of the
South since the war has been marvellous.
Small cities have grown into great man.
'ufacturing centers, studded with build
ings that would rival those of New York.
Look at Atlanta, Jacksonville, Memphis
to mention scattered few-compare
them with their wealth and size of few
years ago. tell, if you can, how far their
growth may not go. These are the old
cities. New ones have been springing up
since the war and developing into rich
commercial centers.
The railroad has played no small part
in this development, but unless the
country had contained the promise and
the resources, the railroads would have
been apt to leave it alone. Where, not
so many years ago, there were only few
miles of rails, and a service which made
a trip South an uncomfortable PROPOSE
ton, now stretch thousands of miles OF
road, on which one can find the best
passenger service. In spite of this, how
ever, tne facilities IAN bHOIt "a tne uc-
mands of the expanding industries of the
South. Last winter many shippers were
delayed for days because they could not
get cars, or having cars, could not find
trains enough to carry their products.
Speak to any Southern railroad man
and he will likely tell YOU that he is al
his wits end. The railroads are doing 4
great deal to meet this constantly in.
creasing demand. Some of them are
double tracking their roads. They are
ordering new engines, more cars. But
all this takes time. Freight accumulates
And in many sections the South of today
suffers from its very wealth.
The comparison socially, too, is just al
interesting. Although the Before-the
War days of the large plantations worked
by slaves cannot be revived, the socia
life of the South is again distinctive
somewhat more democratic-ready tx

years ago, mixing with the social life OF

AN EXTINCT ANIMAL.
The Saber Toothed Tiger Was a For
rdable Creature.


The most remarkable of all the ex-
tinct feline animals are those known
to naturalists as the saber toothed
cats or tigers, group comprising the
greater part of all the fossil forms.
They date back to the earliest times of
which we know anything about the
family in North America and reach
down to the time of man himself. A
large and powerful species described
from the Indian Territory by Cope
lived contemporaneously with the
hairy mammoth, as evidenced by the
commingling of their skeletons. There
can be little or no question but that
the hairy mammoth was contempora-
neous with man in North America
Us well as in Europe. Its geological
range Is from the close of the eocene
to the latter part Of the pleistocene.
The chief peculiarly of the animal
is the extraordinary elongated canine
teeth. The tail is of unusual length
and the legs are short. The animal
measures about seven feet in length
aside from the tail. The lower jaws
have a downward projection in front
due to a fangelike widening of the
jawbones, which doubtless served as a
protection to the teeth, preventing their
injury or loss. In some of the larger
forms from South America this fange
was not present while the canine
teeth were even more elongated than
is the case with this species, attaining
length of over six inches and pro-
truding far below the jaws when

ENTERTAINING THE DUKE.
RudeIy Interrupted While He Was
Chatting With Royalty.

The daily papers do their best, but
not even their ubiquitous representa-
tives garner all the store of good things
which attend royal visit to Ireland,
says the London Sketch. No paper at
the time printed the cream of the sto
rieS which grew out of a visit of the
Duke of Connaught to the Emerald
Isle. "Welcome to Irelandv' said a
man as he saw the duke on the steps
of a hotel in the little western town in
which he was staying. Welcome to
Ireland. your royal highness. l hope l
see your royal highness we'll" quite
well, thank YOU" answered the dune.
"And your noble mother, the queen. l
hope her ould leddyship is enjoyin' the
best of health|' Yes, thank you. The
queen is very we'll indeed" said the
duke. vastly amused with the easy ia
miliarity of the peasant. ITS glad |
am to hear it. And tell me, your royal
