KNEW THERE WAS A TRICK.
Suspicious Countryman Found His
Worst Fears Were Justified.

"A trust conference-any kind OF a
conference, for that matter-is a good
thing" said Gov. Sheldon, of Nebras-
ka, IF 1t is conducted fairly.
TO be unfair, to be prejudiced. to
be suspicious, is always to judge wrong
ly. The suspicious man; falls into
error and makes fool OF himself.
There was a very suspicious coun-
tryman who went to New York to see
the sights Coming to the Metropoli-
tan Museum, he was amazed to find
that the admission to this splendid
building cost nothing. He mounted
the steps and entered.
Your umbrella, SIR said the uni
formed official, extending his hand.
The countryman jerked back his
umbrella, laughed scornfully and
turned on his heel.

about it when We got in free he said"

"Oh, it amt much matter, mum.
She warn't up to much"
Dear me. you don't say So"

I offered her to my mate only last

origin of typhoid Fever.

President Mayo said at the last
meeting of the American Medical as
ISOLATION that a sufferer from typhoid
fever has as good a right to sue the
city where he contracted the filthy
complaint as though he had hurt him
self by a fall on a defective pave
ment and yet we read in the news
papers of epidemics Of typhoid fever
broken out in Cincinnati, Newark and
other places. Were 1t outbreak of
rinderpest or foot-and-mouth disease.
stringent means would be at once
taken to stop 1t, and all the forces
of the government would be enlisted
to save cattle or sheep that have a
market value. But human beings may
die of typhoid fever, as our soldiers
did in Camp Thomas, and no one be
called to account.-Dr Richard Cole
Newton in the Popular Science
Monthly.

Missouri Mystery Cleared Up.

Thousands of hogs in southeast
Missouri are fattening on a crop that
was planted II years ago-a crop OF
17-year locusts.
Since early spring the hogs OF the
farmers in this section have been get
ting fat on something they found in
the woods, and each farmer secretly
wondered whose corn crib his pigs
had found, for they came home each
night not squealing for their food, but
only to sleep; and every day they
brought home a layer Of bacon and
lard added to their once lean and
hungry bodies.
The rail splitters" OF South Mis-
souri, and Arkansas we're fast being
turned into prize Berkshires and
Polands by what or whom the farm
er did not know until a few days ago,
when the Noods were filled with the
song of the 17-year locusts.-Kansas

BOOST PRICES OF LABOR.
Natural Result of American Demand
for Dates.

For a long time the export OF dates
from the Persian gulf to America was
In the hands of one or two firms. Now
the field has been entered by others,
and during the past season six con-
Germs in Maskat were packing dates
for American exporters. This compe.
tition serves to keep the price well up,
as the date caravans come in from
the interior and sell their cargoeS at
auction. Contracts for future delivery
ARD often made with growers and
money advanced. but even then deliv-
cries are usually made subject to the
prices prevailing at the time. There
has been some difficulty experienced
this year in securing labor to pack
the dates for the American market
This work is done by women, and the
increased trade resulted in n scarcity
of hands and an increase of wages. II
the situation exists again next year it
can probably be met by importing
labor either from India or Baluchistan
for the packing season, which begins
in August and is usually over early in
January at the latest.

TAUGHT FOR HALF A CENTURY.
Long Record Of Usefulness for Massa-
chusetts School Teacher.

A headmaster for half a century in
the Cambridge schools is the remarka-
bic record of Ruel II. Fletcher, of the
Thorndike school, East Cambridge He
has recently graduated his fiftieth
class from that school
For 6fty-eight years he has taught
school. beginning in 1S49. He came to
Massachusetts in 1852, taught school
two years in Abingdon. two years in
Quincy and then began his long serv-
ice in Cambridge. That service was
started in the Otis school. for which a
new building was erected a few years
after and the name changed to the
Thorndike school, so that his service
has been practically in the one school
When the city of Cambridge erect
ed two new school buildings four
years ago, unknown to him the pu-
pills of his school circulated a petition
that one of the new schools be named
in honor of the headmaster to whom
they were so devoted. The decision
of the committee to comply with their
request was prompt and unanimous.
The Fletcher school graduates it's first
class on Tuesday. and Mr.. Fletcher

BEAN POT NOT IN FAVOR.
Boston Women Objected TO II as EN-
blem of Homecoming Week.

Boston is not to be represented by
fiaring red lahel and a pot OF pre-
sumably superb Boston baked beans.
says the Post of that city. That is.
only partially will she be represented
thus.
Certain Of the clubwomen of the city
have faithfully considered the city S
reputation of culture and quality and
have decided that it would be folly to
send out stickers giving the vulgar
world to understand that our culture
lay in the baking of beans.
Delegates from all the women's
patriotic societies met Wednesday
afternoon in the Twentieth Century
club and discussed things connected
with the celebration OF Old Home week
In Boston.
The Indian sign was put on the
mayors pet baked-bean stickers-
1t was suggested that a sticker bear
ing a representation of Faneuil hall be
used instead and at this point Thomas
Anderson Of Mayor Fitzgerald's pub
hcity bureau arose and made haste to
explain that the quick ones had been
quicker to see that the baked-beans
stickers had fallen fiat and that stick
ers OF more dignified character were
In preparation.
Neat little bundles Of the pot and
beans stickers were passed around.
but the delegates gracefully repudiated
them by saying that they guessed they
would wait until the Faneuil nall kind
made their appearance.

"PLANT STONES" OF VALUE.
Germs That Are Occasionally Found
in Certain Vegetable Growths.

Among the many strange things to
be found in the Philippine islands are
the so-called plant stones" encoun.
tered now and again in certain vegeta.
BILE growths.
The bamboo. for instance, according
to Kultur and Natur contains a stone
very similar to the opal, but on &C
count of the rarity with which it is
found. much more costly than the opal.
In many thousand cane stalks cut
down and carefully examined there
may perhaps be one in which this
beautiful greenish-pink scintillating
stone has been formed from the minute
particles Of suicious deposit that i'm
parts its intense hardness to the outer
covering Of the cane. The bamboo
cane stone is known as Tabashirs.
In the interior of some cocoanuts a
stone-like secretion is found that is not
inferior in brilliancy to the most beau
tiful genuine pearl.

NO CHARGE FOR IT.
The Laundry Man Gives the Bachelor
Man a LittIeN Lesson in Nerve.

When I came to open my bundle
OF stun sent home from the laundry
this morning." said the bachelor
man, Il found in it, sent back washed
but not ironed, one shirt that had
pinned to 1t a ticket reading like
this:
We are returning this shirt on &C
count of it not being in a condition
to withstand ironing.
This was a new one to me, but
when l came to open up the shirt and
looked 1t over 1 didn't wonder that
they hadn't tried to iron it; one arm
was all but torn from its socket and
there was hole punched through one
cuff, with a tear extending from this
hole for an inch or two up the sleeve.
The shirt was sure not in condition
for ironing but how did it get so?
Il certainly never sent it to the
laundry in that shape. I'd have had
hard work tearing the sleeve out Of
the shoulder the way this one was
torn, and 1 couldn't have made that
hole in the cuff without some sort Of
sharp and big punch. Clearly the
shirt had been torn and mangled in
that manner by being caught in the
laundry machinery, and so l wrapped
it up in neat little bundle and took
it over to the laundry office, intending
to make claim for the value Of it.
spread the shirt out on the counter
and called the clerks attention to it
and told him that couldn't have torn
the shirt in that manner, it must have
been done in the laundry, and how
about it7
We'll says the clerk, we made no
charge for it.
"As the full significance Of this
came upon me-they had torn my
shirt all to pieces, but they didn't
make any charge for It'll staggered
back, and I kept on staggering that
way until l had got out of the door.
IT shall never make any further
claim for the shirt. I got back far
more than its value in that lesson in
clear, cold nerve"

Another Nature Fake.

In 1884. says Henry E. Warner I
met Mr.. Joseph Mulhatton, a journal
list of wide repute. and went with him
to South Africa. where we studied the
habits Of Beers and other wild ami
mails for two years. Among other
things. we took with us a pocket
piano. on which Mr.. Mulhatton used
to make beautiful music, to the great
distress of our dog, which howled
solos at every performance. We cap
tured a monkey, an anthropoidean
quadrumanous mammal with prehis-
toric feet and long tail, we'll known
to the natives. We trained him to
wait on the table and perform other
domestic services. One day Mr.. Null
hatton got out his piano and was
about to play Give My Regards to
Broadway" which had not then been
written, when the monkey stepped up,
gravely pushed him aside, and picked
the tune out himself with both hands,
both feet, and his nose. He played
many times for us, but always labored
under the disadvantages of not being
able to stretch an octave.-N. Y. Sun.
