Quite a Difference.

Some time ago there happened to
walk into public house not far from
the city of Durham tall. hungry, and
thirsty looking navy, who, having
tramped long distance, found himself
penniless. Wishing to have a quart OF
beer, he hit upon the following expedi-
ent:
Mates" says he, IN bet tanner
there isn't man among you who can
peel this ere potato"
Several cried: II can; !. can"
After little parleying one of the
persons present borrowed<a knife from
the landlady and commenced in right
good earnest to take the peel off, and
in very short time placed the potato
upon the table, exclaiming: Nov,
where's the sixpence?"
''The sixpence!" cried the navy.
why, man, we've lost; we've unpeeled
it. There's a mighty difference be-
tween peeling and unpeeling."

BIRCH TIES,
Experiments Show That They Can be
Used -

Experiments Show That They Can be
Used. - =. p;
Experiments conducted by the Duluth
& Iron. Range and the Great Northern
railroads have brought out the fact that
birch when subjected to chemical pre-
servative can be utilized for ties. Before
the completion of this chemical test,
birch was regarded as an unfit wood, for
railroad construction, not proving imper-
vious to the rotting elements of frost
and rain.
The discovery that birch can be made
practicable for railroad construction is
expected to place much higher price
upon this timber and to increase greatly
the demand for it's use. Many tracts of
birch in the northern woods, that have
become abandoned, will increase in val
ue with the general use of the timber
for ties. and it is suggested that plant
tor the preserving treatment of birch
timber would not only prove profitable
investment, but would also go long
way in solving the problem of the de-
creasing lumber supply for railroad
use.-Duluth Herald.

Mr.. Sidener had made his first pub
lie speech. His subject was good-the
iniquities of industrial economy-and
he hoped his treatment had been ade-
Quate. He was not sure. He waited
for his wife's verdict, but she was
strangely silent.
She had listened to him from the
gallery of the town hall, and he had
half-expected her to meet him at the
door afterward and say, as soon as
they were out of hearing, "Oh, it was
simply great, Eddy" But they were
hallway home, and she had said moth
ing of the kind.
WELL" he began, awkwardly, when
he could bear it no longer, what did
you think of my speech?"
|"What you said was all right" she
answered, with guarded enthusiasm;
''but it seemed to me you didn't make
the most of your opportunities"

ener. What do you mean, Efie?"

had ever so many chances to sit down
before you did" s. !.
