AFTER THE FARMERS MONEY !
How cataiog Houses Are Trying 70
GET Money to Do Business With.

/ s4sfl1 (
The following from the Sample Case
ought to be warning ii every patron
Of catalog houses. There is always a
reason always something behind q
proposition Of selling goods cheap or
s.below cost, and the patron OF the 2
foreign catalog houses, will in the long
run ..buy his experience. The Sample
Case, a trade publication, says:
.sWhen T. M. Roberts. the supply
man. Of Minneapolis, failed some years
ago. people; were astonished TO learn
that he owed manufacturers large
amounts for goods. He always sold
for cash and it was supposed that he
bought his goods for cash. Now comes
the Commercial Bulletin with state
Enent that Sears, Roebuck & Go. OF
Chicago, owe something over ST., 0o0,-
900 to tradesmen, customers, employ
zees and in open accounts. The hrm
has been trying to sell $4,000 900 pre-.
ferred stock for some months and has
not vet met with very good success.
This firm has been offering to take ID; de-
posts from customers all over the
country and pay interest on same, and
has probably secured large amount
OF money, as the Bulletin shows they
owe customers and employees $2,944,-
673.47. 1t seems like a risky PROPOSE
ton for farmers to loan money to con
Germs hundreds of miles away, and AM
about whom they know 50 little, but it
seems some do it.

FAIR PLAY.

A Plea That Es Respected by Almost
Ali Classes of Men.
There is an appeal to which nearly
all classes OF men give heed-let US
have fair play. You may address q
scheoiful Of mischieyous boys on, the
beauties of goodness, on the evils Of
cruelty or harshness to their fellows,
and they will laugh at you. Exherta-
tions to avoid any abstract evil or
wrong and appeals to follow any alb
straet virtue will seem hazyf to almost
any collection of ordinary, healthy and
lusty young boys, but If their sense Of
fair play be addressed there is a ready
response.
Go among crowd Of wharfngers or
longshoremen or the toughest and most
reckless sailors, who have neither
home nor principles Of any sort, and
talk to them Of the things Of the head
or Of the heart and they will think
that you are a harmless but quite fu-
tile specimen from crankdom. Try to
awaken In them horror of the brutal
ity of their usual life, speak in moving
terms Of the force and beauty Of kind
ness or Of virtue OF Of any attribute
of a polite and civilized society and
way Of life, and you will be soliciting
the wind, talking to a statue, shouting
in the desert. But in the most uncouth
assemblage and In the viIest haunt In
the English speaking world mention
fair play and found your argument
and your plea on that basis, and the
effect is instant and eloquent.-Phila-

THE TINY SClARA.
h Procession of Worms Seen In EuE.
gary and Norway.


In some of the Hungarian forests
and in the pine woods of Norway there
exists a tiny, wormlke insect called
the sciara, of the genus tipula. Dur
Ing the month of July or early In Au-
gust they gather together in large
numbers, preparatory to migrating In
search of food or for change of con-
dition. When setting out on this jour
ney they stick themselves together by
means of some glutinous matter and
form a huge serpent-ffke mass, often
reaching length Of between forty and
fifty feet and several inches In thick
ness. AS the sciara is only on an 'av-
erage about three thirty-seconds Of IN
inch in length, with no appreciable
breadth whatever, the number required
to compose a continuous line Of the
size above mentioned Is almost incal
culable. Their pace is. Of course, very
slow, and upon meeting an obstacle,
such as a stick or stone, they will
either writhe over or around 1t, some
times breaking into two bodies for this
purpose.
I'D M. Guertn-Meneyille, celebrated
French naturalist, said that If the rear
portion of this wonderful snakelike
procession be brought into contact with
the front part and sort Of circle
formed the insects will keep moving
round in that circle for hours without
apparently noticing that they are get
ting no 'forrader" on their journey, If
the procession be broken in two, the
portions will reunite in a short time.
The Norwegian peasants. when they
meet one Of these trains, will lay some
article of their clothing, such as belt
or handkerchief, on the ground in front
of it. If the procession passes over 1t
it is regarded as good sign, but If it
makes way round the reverse Is be-
lieved.

Corned beef hash as made by Sen

in Washington several years ago.
When the head waiter of the senate

One day when the restaurant was do

seemed to want corned beef hash.
"Corned beef hash for Senator Hanna
had been ordered fourteen times.
When the fifteenth order went down
to the kitchen the chef shouted:
'That's fifteen orders for Senator

An imaginative youth, son of DR..

become a craze In all the colleges, in

now threatens to invade every fashion

Young Hill Is a student in st. Paurs
school in Concord, Mass, and he got
the Idea when on visit to his father.
He saw novel possibilities in the big
sheets of tinted rural scenes with peas.
ants In their native costume kept by
tradesmen In Holland for souyenir-col-
lecting tourists. He brought large
collection of the sheets back with him
to st. Paul's and covered the walls Of
his rooms with the lot. The result was
striking and at the same time pleas
ing. Soon all the students became i'm
ltators, and from them the fad spread
all over the Eastern Seates.
Many parents In Europe were sur
prlsed to receive requests from their
young hopefuls to collect labels and
country pictures In every place visited.
The latest recruits to the already big
army of collectors are Jay Gould and
his sister Marjorie. Although the youth
holds the English championship ut
court tennis, he is still boy enough to
give himself to this odd craze, and his
room in the George Gould town house
is maze of color, while Miss Mar
jorie's room is even more vivid land

Hi.toric oak In Texas.

When Gen. Zachary Taylor came to
Texas on his way to Mexico during the
Mexican war he landed at Rockport on.
a point adjacent to the Bayview Hotel,
says the San Antonio Express. He
then marched his forces up to where
Fulton now stands and halted there
before going on to Corpus Christi.
When Taylor's army halted Gen. Tay-
lor camped beneath the shady boughs
of an oak that is still standing seEti-
mel there. This oak Is over. eight feet
In diameter and is probably the largest
oak In Texas. 1t is gnarled and bat
tered. Yandals have built fires against
1t that have almost eaten its heart
out, but still the leaves are green upon
Its branches and its friendly shade is
sought by the hundreds who frequent
the locality. 1t is king of a grove of
large and stately oaks. One popularity
about these and other trees in this To-
cality Is that the prevailing wind has
bent their branches SO that they lean
toward the northwest.
While l was there I found children
scaling the old oak and perched upon
Its long and waving limbs They made
playground of the locality and their
merry laughter was mingled with the
music waited through the trees from
the old Hall house, where women were
playing on violin and piano the old
time southern melodies so in harmony
with the scene.

CAT KILLS BIG ADDER.

10 ~
A strange battle took place yester-
day on the lawn of George H. Carman,
of Upper Mountain avenue, Verona,
N. j., between a pet Maltese cat and
a huge blowing adder, one of the most
poisonous Of snakes. The cat killed
the reptile.
The reptile apparently had decided
that kitten would make a nice din
ner after It's long winters fast. When
within four or five feet of its quarry
the snake stopped, raised its head
fully a foot from, the ground and fast
ened Its eyes on its intended victim.
AS 1t did SO the cat leaped savage
ly and struck the added with her paw,
stretching 1t on the grass.
f Five small holes in the adder's
head, from which the blood was ooz-
ing, showed where the cats claws had
entered.
After a moment the snake raised
Its head, now flattened to twice its
former width. Again the cat deliv-
cred lightning-like blow.
A third attempt was met in the
same way. Then, its fight completely
gone. the snake attempted to crawl
away, but the cat made another
spring, landing with all four feet,
claws outstretched, on the snakes
head, which she tore into tatters.
The adder was measured and
found to be two feet nine inches long
and thicker than a mans arm.-New
York American,
