vertisement for the new store, and to get new press for the printing of cir. culars and posters. @
 One month after the opening of the store the graveyard quietness of the town had passed away. Streets were lined with the teams and the wagons of the farmers. A new elevator for grain had been started. The railroad placed a new switch in the yard to ac- commodate the increased business. The son of the old town blacksmith reopened the old shop closed for years because of no trade. New life was rapidly being injected into the place.
 There was an election. A lot of newcomers selected the Public Spir- tied Citizen for chairman of the town board. He was elected. In six months the streets were paved, an electric lighting plant was in operation, along with a water works. The Great Store keeper had a way of doing things, and he did them. News of the activity of the town reached nearby villages, and the people came to see the Big Store and to buy goods. A cold storage plant in connection with new com mission house operated by friends of the Storepeeker, caused Farmers to bring in tons of butter and hundreds of thousands of eggs, and chickens and other produce. The transforma tion was quick from a Dead Town to Lively Small City. A high school was established, new churches built, and some of the pious people were shocked to see an opera house erect ed. The Pan-Handle & Skedunk rail. road, which for years had been run ming 20 miles from the town so changed it's route as to have it on the main line, so the place had two rail roads. Enterprising men who wanted to locate in a Live Town turned their eyes toward the place. Soon there was smoke from a half dozen big fac tories, and in five years after the Pub lic-spirited Citizen had started his store his old home town has increased it's population 1000 per cent It was no longer printed in little type on the maps, but in capital letters.
 MORAL-Do not underestimate the possibilities of your community, or fail to develop them. No city was ever made great by its people buying goods elsewhere

PUZZLED OVER CAT FIGHT.
Artist Couldn't Locate 1t Until He
 Happened to Think.

Everybody who is fond of pictures of tigers listening to birds sing and of cats sitting in the snow and look ing at the moon, and the like, knows the artist of whom I am writ ing.
 He is tall and broad of chest that few, to look at him, would have believed that he could have contract ed such a cold Ie was one of those colds which reached right down to the intercostal spaces.
 He awoke the other night in his studio on the top of Carnegie hall, and he was sure that he heard far out on the roofs below the cater wauling of felines in nocturnal fray
 He had not seen a truly delectable cat fight in years, and in moment he was at the window peering down upon the roofs for inspiration. He scanned the battle-ground up and down and there was not a cat in sight.
 Hardly had he crept back into bed than he heard long-drawn-out purr, then a snarl and muffied meows. The conflict had been shifted to beneath his bed.
 He was sure of it, and so certain that he got up and peered beneath it.
 Tt all came over me like a fash" the artist said in telling of his ex. perience later. T was listening to cat fight in my own bronchials. mad forgotten that I had a cold"
 Some of his friends say that he is sbsent-minded.-N. Y. Herald.

his great muscular power assisted to gain for himself a position as Chief ScrubbeT in a large store. He had not acquired the cigarette habit, and his faithfulness to his scrubbing brush, and his unwillingness to know all about his employers business, soon at tracted the attention of the Old Man, and at the end of year he was pro- noted to Head Rustler in the shipping department at the large salary of eight dollars a week.
 His disregard for scooting when the closing time came, and his total lack of swelled head so pleased the Old Man that from time to time the ambi- tious youth was advanced until at the end of six years he was drawing the biggest salary paid by the house, and soon he was taken in as a member of the firm. Age and hard knocks and brushes with the business world de- veloped in him marked business acu- men. He forged to the front as financier and philosophical citizen. AS years passed he prospered. Early and late he was ever looking after his vast business interests. There were times that he longed to be again in the small home town. Often in his youth he dreamed of some day being chairman of the village board Only once since parting from the old home had he returned, and then to find the town just the same only a little more delapidated, and in the weed-over- grown ki,fyard the neglected graves of his good parents.

GOLD IS NOT GOOD IN CHINA.
What Money Is Depends Upon the
 Locality, Says Traveller.

Tt is hard to define just what money is" said Representative Julius Kahn of San Francisco, recently: At best, it seems to be a relative term that is, what passes for money in one part of the world is regarded with sus- picion at some other place.
 Gold is supposed to be the one cir culating medium that passes current everywhere, but it is not true Tn the far east. for instance, the natives posi- lively refuse to take anything but silver Gold is not money to them and in Washington or New York or any of the cities along the Atlantic coast when I hand a man ten dollar or s20 gold piece to change he looks upon me with suspicion. He almost say 5 in so many words that h. would rather not have it. But let me hand out worn and dirty bill and he ac- cepts it without looking at it.

All of nature lavishly spent it's beauty over the country and the town. and even the weeds on the streets were allowed to spring up, bloom and reach maturity without Interruption by the scythe or the sicle
 Within year the Retired Business Man had regained much of his old time spirit and health Habits of ac- tivity and love of business impelled him to once again seek work that would keep his mind occupied He loved the old town. He saw that it needed new life. He figured out that there were 600 farmers in the neigh borhood. Each farmer surely spent $50 month somewhere for supplies. This meant total of S30,000 month; S360,000 year. Then the few hun dred people in the town would add other thousands to the volume of busi- ness. Why not build great store and supply the wants of the people? He would spend some money and build up the town. He bought half block on which three of the stores stood He erected a large brick building, and soon he had installed in it great stocks of goods. Other merchants in the town shook their heads.

The chances are that the president of the bank and the eatire staff of officials would be called into consultation as to it's genuineness and I doubt if there is a store in the town where a bill would be accepted and changed offhand.

 The silver coins in circulation in China" Mir Kahn continued, ''are ob- jects of curiosity to foreigners. Tn China the coinage of money is let tO private parties and the amount of sill yer in a coin depends largely on the personal honesty Of the man in charge of the particular mint On this ac- count each coin as it passes around in circulation has to be stamped with the initials of the merchant last having 1t iu his possession. The last man stamping the coin is held responsible for any shortage in weight in the coin. The result is that the coins from repeated stampings, resemble small saucers and each one fits into

HOW THE ANSFORMATiON OF A TOWN WAS EFFECTED.
A STORY WITH A MORAL
One Public spirite., Citizen Who Realized the Big Possibilities and Cultivated the Field se Aa-
 vantage.

Once upon time there was a Man, who in his youth was reared upon a farm located near a Small Town of Great Promise. Two weeks in each year when he was not saving wood, feeding the stock or picking potatoes, he was allowed to attend the little red schoolhouse in the town. By hard la Dor during the day. and consistently reading a few old books which were heirlooms in his family, and each week absorbing the intelligence contained
 in the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time he could mark down his age at IS
 years, had accumulated sufficient knowledge to run away from home. He wandered to large city and there

Strenuous business life and assid- ious attention to the accumulation of capital without vacation, caused him to suffer from what the doctors pro- nounced neurasthenia, and advised total rest from mental effort. The man had labored too diligently in amass- ing money. Residence in quiet place was recommended and retirement from all commercial worries. The Great Merchant sold his vast interests to combine, and after careful thought, concluded that he would seek rest and a renewal of health in the town where he at one time attended the little red schoolhouse, and where in childish inn agination he would be powerful and famous by becoming chairman of the village board. Accordingly he retired from the city, purchased the old home stead where he was reared and picked potatoes, and also built residence and became a Great Factor in the town. Time had made few changes in the landscape. Buildings and streets were the same, only showing the ray ages of decay. The old stores were in possession of the descendants of the owners who conducted them when he was a boy. They were not doing the business that they should One great innovation was the town had a rail road. All about was suggestive of man who desired to pass his declining

NEGRO GAMBLER
KILLS THREE MEN

Muskogee, Oct. 31--Two white men
dead, shot through the heart, a negro
crippled for life, and all by negro
desperate for the pitiful sum OF eight
dollars, is in brief the story OF one Of
the most merciless double murders
ever committed in Indian Territory
At Dow, a little mining town, nine
miles east Of McAlester, Monday
night professional negro gambler,
Faro Davis, angered because he had
los t eight dollars In poker game, de-
liberately shot dead two white men
with whom he was playing, fired two
shots through the heel and leg OF a
negro who rushed into the room, and
then made his escape in spite Of the
efforts Of the deputies.
Dow is mining town. 1t IS filled
with Lquick tempered Italians and
other foreigners. When they learned
OF the murder of thb white men by a
negro ''bad man, the town boiled
over. All night things we're at fever
heat. For while it appeared that q
war rg1termthation would begin, in
which Isgroes would be wiped
out: T ~ pSuties, however. diverted
the feve. II anger of the foreigners
by getting them to assist in hunting
the murRerer instead of killing the
remaining negroes OF the town.
Thingdhave quieted down some, but
the least incident would cause an ex-
ploseon.
