The Causes of Hard Times.

Every man. woman and child in the United states is deeply concerned in the eountry's well-doing No matter how well provided against want any person or set of persons may be, no oae with a spark of humanity in his breast desires to see distress among .otIers.

Machine that Smoke. Cigars.

The department Of agriculture en-
ploys a machine to smoke cigars. 1t
has four mouthpieces, in each Of which
a cigar is inserted. For ten seconds
the smoke is drawn in and is then puff
ed out, the process being repeated every
half minute. While the "inhaling" is
going on the way in which the filling
and the wrapper burn are carefully
noted the ash is examined and the
odor Of the burning tobacco observed.
The plant from which each of the ci-
gars is made is known and the one
that makes the best showing in the
competition is selected for planting.
The test is proving an aid to the Amer
lean tobacco industry by teaching the
farmers what kinds Of tobacco to plant
in order to receive the highest financial
returns.

charging each other like savages."

individual near by. "The natives have
trained them as beasts Of burden. One
of them could train a ton load for
miles with ease. They worked willing.

voice from the corner, what sort of
ants were they?"

A Warrior, Too.

The wooden boards that had marked
the graves In certain rural cemetery
rotted off, and were raked up in the
spring cleaning; consequently, on Me
mortal day, when the delegation from
the G. A. R. arrived with flags and
appropriate floral decorations Tor their
departed comrades, the decorating com.
mittee found itself somewhat In doubt
as to which grave belonged to Captain
Blodgett and which to Hannah Ericsson.
The mistaken delegates heaped their
offerings upon Hannah's last resting
place, and departed. That afternoon
Ericsson, the widower, drifted, with the
rest Of his world, to the cemetery.
When he saw the flag and the flowers
above Hannah, the astonished Swede
fell to chuckling joyously.

A Curious Fact,

Did you ever notice that the dummy
clocks In front Of jewelry shops are
always set at 8:1S?"
'Yes, have noticed that"
"And do you know why these clocks
are always set at that hourr
'No. Why is it?"
"Well, some people hold that George
Washington was born at y :1S, and that
the clocks commemorate that auspi-
clous moment. Others hold that at
S:1S the writing of the Declaration of
Independence was completed. But there
Is no truth In such Ideas. We don't
need to go so far back In order to find
out why all dummy clocks mark S:1Y.
''These clocks are all set at that hour
for the reason that such an arrange
ment of the hands gives the most room
on the dial for the jewelers. name and
address"

A LABRADOR MAIL-CARRIER.

The mail carrier of the Labrador
coast Is man Of endurance who does
not fear the worst of weather. There
Is no road at all. There are no bridges
and no ferries. In some parts Of the
country the houses are as much as
twenty miles apart. There are noun
talns to climb and rivers to cross, bogs
to pass, impenetrable barren uplands
and large lakes. In "Off the Rocks"
DR.. Grenfell tells Of one mail-carrier
whose route Is about 100 miles long,
and who receives as compensation $40
trip.
We were plying ourselves one night
rs we turned into our comfortable
sleeping bags ON the floor of our hosts
tilt-pitying ourselves because 1t had
been a heavy day on our dogs, and 1t
was nearly 10 o'clock before we reach
ed shelter. When l awoke in the morn
ing, as the gray dawn was stealing In
through the little window, l thought l
heard a movement by the stove. There
seemed something almost uncanny
about 1t until I made out what 1t was,
and could distinguish tiny, erect fig
ure, sitting bolt upright where none
had been overnight.
1t proved to be Peter Wright. He
had arrived about 2 in the morning
noiselessly stationed himself by the
stove, and gone straight off to sleep
sitting on the settle, without a word to
any one, as satisfied as If he We're In q
feather bed.
Now this place was where three car.
riers meet. The one from the west
ward was late, and Pete did not get
his mails handed over until 0 In the
evening. He had thirty miles to his
next station, and the temperature was
20 below zero. At 10 he rose to go.
"What, Pete, never going to leave al
this time Of night, are you"
"Why, sure,' he replied. with 6
moon like this it's better in the woods
than when skeeters are about. St
long, doctor" and with that he Wen
out absolutely alone.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1907-03-08

Pete is always ready to oblige, and
never happier than when the space on
his back, ordinarily monopolized by his
official bundle, permits him to carry a
ten-pound tub of butterine or a couple
OF Jars Of molasses, just to oblige. 1t
isn't for the money alone that Pete
works.
1t Is lucky he does not have to pay
hotel bills as he journeys from place
to place. There would be little left of
the salary beyond enough for Skin
boots" If he were charged for meals.
But there are no hotel bills on the
coast, and we are incapable Of an idea
SO original as to ask Pete to pay for
anything.

o. D. Pitts, farmer of Carolina
County, tells the following remarkable
story:
lie says he was blowing with a pair
OF horses on his farm, and turned up a
nest containing what he supposed to be
turtle eggs. He put them in his pocket
to carry them home and experiment
with them as to their Matching quail
ties. Some time later, when he took
up his coat, he felt something NOV.
Ing, and upon investigation found that
the eggs had hatched and his pocket
was full of young snakes. He did not
experiment any further.-Richmond

A litter ran over the audience and
the magistrate came to with a start
glancing apprehensively at the report

trary to his usual custom, he called
the newspaper men before him.
"Do you find anything to write this
morning?" he asked in a clearly appre-
hensive tone.
"No," was the reply.
The magistrate looked relieved.
