Over the Oatmeal.

1t reminds me of the oatmeal
dodge, said the detective. He was
speaking of an ingenious swindle
that had been worked successfully on
a shopkeeper. The oatmeal dodge,
he continued, was worked on a grocer
in the suburbs. A man entered the
shop and engaged the grocer in con-
versation. While they talked a
youth came in.
do you sell oatmeal?" the new
conner asked.

best. How much

day." And he walked out.
The grocer, looking a little disap-
pointed, resumed his conversation
with the stranger. In few minutes
a second youth appeared.
do you sell oatmeal?" he asked,
"Yes," the grocer answered.
THANK you. Good-day."
And this young man also disap-
peared
well, what the dickens!' ex-
claimed the grocer. But, as we
were saying" he resumed, and the
interrupted conversation went briskly
on.
Soon third youth entered the
shop. He said. do you sell oat-
meal?"
YES" the grocer snapped.
'Thank you. Good-day.'
And this young man departed-on
q run. For the grocer. thoroughly
enraged at last, had rushed upon him.
He had, however, a clean pair OF
heels. The grocer was unable to
overtake him. So, after a chase of
q hundred yards or SO. he returned
breathless.
He found the first man gone. The
shop was empty. So was the till.

succeeded. Tit Bits.

Southern Rice Industry.

Some Northern farmers emigrated
to the Louisiana Gulf coast prairie
and began the cultivation Of rice in
1884. devising machinery Tor that
purpose. The result OF their labors
Is shown In the fact that Louisiana
and Texas. to which their work also
extended. now produce three-fourths
Of the rice-crop Of the United States.
Before the Civil War South Carolina
produced about three-fourths and
North Carolina and Georgia most Of
the rest. One Of tho greatest results
has been the use. for the nrst time In
history. Of = 1abor-seving method Of
rice-production. which promises to
give the American rice producers a
advantage over any other country,
unless such country adopts American
methods.

A HUGE COAL BILL.

locomotives That Burn Many Thou.
sands of Tons Of Fuel.
The bill for locomotive fuel is the
largest item Of expense for materials
incurred by railroads, and It averages
about fifteen per cent of the total
operating expense. The annual re-
ports of railroads, which are now
coming out. give few figures relat.
ing to fuel which help In forming an
idea of the enormous consumption
OF coal by railroads in the year COW
cred.
Thus the report of the Rock Island
system for the year ended with June,
1905. when 1t operated 1857 locomo-
tives, shows that the coal bill was
nearly $5.000.000. On the Chicago
and Northwestern for the same
period. when it operated 1912 loco
motives. the cost Of fuel for them was
$5.362.000.
The Interstate Commerce Com.
mission statistics for the year 1904
show that the locomotive fuel bill
for all the railroads in the United
States amounted to $3.50, 1000. 900.
II we take the average cost of coal
at $3.50 per ton, which is probably
high for the whole country, this
would represent a consumption of
100000 tons of coal. The num-
Der Of locomotives owned by rail-
roads in the year 1904 was 46.S85,
and assuming eight per cent of these
to be in the shop under repairs, there
remain 37,508 engines in service, and
this number, divided into 100000
600 tons, gives 1926 tons as the aver
age consumption of coal per engine
year.
Coming now to something more
definite, for single road we find
from the annual report of the Union
Pacific for the year ended with June,
1905, that it paid for it's coal 1894
3SS, and that the average cost per
ton was $1.76, SO that the coal con-
sumed by locomotives on that line
amounted to 1,92S,62O tons. The
number of locomotives then owned
was S35, from which we deduct eight
per cent, leaving 767 in actual SER
vice; this figure, divided into the tons
as given, shows an average consump-
ton per engine year of 2515 tons.
In the Chicago and Alton annual
report for the year ended with June,
1906, we find the coal bill was 1884,
600, and the average cost per ton
was S1.20, which corresponds to the
consumption of 62S,300 tons. The
total engine equipment is $50, less
eight per cent, leaves 23O in active
service, which, divided into the tons,
shows a consumption of 2730 tons
of coal per engine year. In the Lee
high Valley report for the same year
there is statement showing that the
locomotives on that road made an
average of S4,921 miles per year,
and that the coal consumption per
engine mile was 1924 pounds. The
product Of these two figures gives
5,321,9 $50 pounds, or 1855 tons per
engine year. This figure lies between
those obtained for the Chicago and
Alton and the Union Pacific, and we
may infer that the average consump-
ton of coal by locomotives on roads
having modern equipment is prob
ably about $500 tons per year.-Rail-
way Age.

heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-

Cuticura Drove Sores Away.
"Our little girl, one year and half old,
was taken with eczema or that was what
the doctor said it was. We called in the
family doctor and he gave some tablets
and said she would be all right in few
days. The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she was
teething; as soon as the teeth were
through she would be all right. But she
still grew worse. Doctor No. said it was
eczema. By this time she was nothing
but yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said
he could help her, so we let him try it
about week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one of her eyes.
OF course we 'phoned for doctor No 3.
He came over and looked her over and
said that he could not do anything more
for her, that we had better take her to
some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer.
So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4,
and he said the eyesight was gone,
but that he could help it. We thought
we would try doctor No. s. Well, that
proved the same, only he charged $40
more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly
discouraged. saw one of the Cuticura
advertisements in the paper and thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so
