HIS RULING PASSION.
Old Harpason Carried 1t to the Brink

Old Harpason Carried 1t to the Brink
Of the Grave.
The following story Is commonly re-
lated as true in France: Old Harpagon
was fast approaching his end. His
sufferings were very great but ne COM
forted himself with the thought that
as he could not eat there was so much
saved at any rate.
"WeIl, DOCTOR he said in feeble
voice, chow long have yet to liver
"Only half an hour. Would you like
me to send for somebody-a clergy
man, for instance"
Harpagon was silent for few mo-
ments. He passed his hand over his
chin, bristling with grizzly beard OF
several days growth, when a sudden
thought struck him, and, turning to the
doctor, he gasped excitedly:
"Quick-send fora barber?'
The barber soop afterward arrived
with his shaving tackle.
Harpagon, whose voice was getting
weaker, asked him, "You-eharge-two-
pence for shaving?"
That's the price," was the answer.
"And-how much-is it-for shaving

The barber paused moment and
then said, Give shillings."
'Then-shave-me-quickly," STAN
mered old Harpagon. casting a fever
ish glance at the watch which the doc
tor still held In his hand.
He was too feeble to utter another
word, but the doctor understood the
mute appeal and said:
"Fifteen minutes morew
A smile of satisfaction stole over the
features of the patient. The barber set
to work and in very short time I'm
ished his task Notwithstanding the
nervous twitchings that distorted the
face Of the dying man. When the op,
Grafton was over old Harpagon utter
ed sigh Of relief and was heard to
whisper:
"That's good thing-four shillings-
and tenpence-savedW And he breath

A BUSINESS LESSON.
How Peter Cooper Taught One Man
the Value of Money.

the Value Of Money.
Peter Cooper was one Of the most
successful, careful and prudent bust
ness men Of bis time. He was strong
IN opposed to the-methods Of many
merchants who launched out Into ex-
travagant enterprises on borrowed
money, for which they paid exorbitant
rates Of interest. The following anee-
dote illustrates this point very forci-
bly,:
Once, while talking about a project
with an acquaintance, the latter said
he would have to borrow the money
for six months. paying interest at the
rate Of per cent per month.
"Why do you borrow for so short
timer" Mr.. Cooper asked.
Because the brokers will not nego-
tate bills for Logger"
"Well, If you WISH" said Mr.. Coop
er, II will discount your note at that
rate for three years."
"Are you in earnest" asked the
would be borrower.
Certainly am. VIII oiscouh'
your note for $4,000 for three years
at that rate. Will you do itf'
"Of course I will" said the mer-
chant.
"very WELL" said Mr.. Cooper. "Just
sign this note for $4,000, payable In
three years, and give your check for
$500, and the transaction will be COM
plete"
'But where is the money for meY'
asked the astonished merchant.
"You don't get any money" was the
reply. your interest for thirty-six
months at 8 per cent per month
amounts to 1903 per cent or $1o,sOO
Therefore your check for $500 just
makes us even."
The force Of this practical illustra-
ton of the folly Of paying such an ex-
orbitant price for the use of money
was. such that the merchant determined
never to borrow at such ruinous rates,
and he frequently used to say that
nothing could have SO fully convinced
him as this rather humorous proposal
by Mr.. Cooper.

Bold Desperate Is Recaptured

Barto Rimel, the desperate whose
name is already familiar to many
Of our readers, is again in the tolls.
Rimel, it will be recalled, twice
escaped from Pendleton county au-
liberties in West Virginia last year,
after being sentenced to the peni.
Tertiary for DEMONSTRATING, ard
other major offenses. He has been
captured in North Dakota, where
he had fed from justice. Authori-
ties from Mayville. Mo, Rimel's
old home, are now in Dakota,
claiming the prisoner, who will be
taken back 10 answer to several
criminal charges.
Rimel is desperate Of the bold

for stealing whole car load OF
cattle, of which crime he was con
victed, but skipped his bail, fled to
Montana and stole h~rse, and
escaped. In Wyoming he was con.

to the penitertlary but stole the

down the jill while IN custody and
fled but was again captured IN

he made away by jumping through
a window of the train. This wa'
the last thing heard of him in these
parts, but as he is now in custody

with him-unless indeed he ex 'rts

hardly a trick that he cannot learn in
very few lessons He Is usually
healthy, makes the best kind of n

the dog must present generally gay,
lively and active appearance. The Ner-

count be 'leggy," nor must he be too
short in the leg. He should stand like

before stated. He will then attain the

length of his body. Weight is not GER

weight is to Il pound or so, though
roughly speaking, it may be said that
he should not scale over twenty pounds.
