HOW SOME MEN SUCCEED.
Remarkable Case Of Penuriousosss
Told BY Florist.


A fiorist In the outskirts OF the
city has come across what he consid.
ers the meanest man In all New York.
He recently bought a fine summer
home and estate about half mile
from my nursery" said the florist. "A
few weeks ago he was entertaining
some old friends. and showing them
around the neighborhood. In the
course OF their organizations he
brought them to my flower patch. on
which ] have q number OF large glass
houses. Wishing TO display his wealth
by purchasing something. he stopped
at a cucumber frame and asked me
the price OF various specimens of that
vegetable. pointed large one out
to him at 25 cents, another at Is cents,
and SO on; but Mr.. Suddenwealth
would have none OF them. His eye
feil on a particularly tiny specimen.
How much?' he asked. pointing to It.
l told him five cents. Mr.. Croesus
brought out a $50 bill. couldn't
change II just then, so told him he
could pay later. That suited him fine.
Just as | was about to pull the cucum.
Der he requested me to leave It where
II was. as he would send his man For
II In the evening. He went away
smiling, and sent his coachman to the
nursery at the end OF week. by
which time, OF course, the tiny cucum.
Der had lengethened into large and
brilliant vegetable! What's more he's
forgotten to divvy up the nickel"

Women Refining Rome.

American and English women mar
ried to great Roam mobiles have done
much toward refining life In the Eter-
nal city. They discouraged the rough
aorseplay end the practical Joking, SO
common under the old regime even
in the best houses. They have in
troduced such amenities OF lifc as
open fireplaces, bathrooms and i'm.
proved sanitation. and, In short, they
exercised the same softening and hn.
nanizing effect upon the Roman no
oility of the last half of the nine
.eenth century which the Greeks had
fipon the ancient Roman patriciaas.

The Art Of WalkIna.

To walk gracefully Is an art, one
which is seldom the accomplishment
Of the American woman. The head
should be kept well back. and the
whole weight Of the body should rest
on each foot In turn. Set the foot
down squarely, striking the ball OF
the foot first. Keep the chin drawn
back well horizontally, which will
cause the chest to be lifted. and thus
insure deep breathing. Practice walk
Ing indoors with book on the head

Berlin, Jan. 26.-The government
has won a definite victory in the gen.
eral election for a new reichstag. The
Liberal, Radical and Conservative
parties, supporting Prince Won Bue-
lows colonial policy, have won at
least twenty seats, but more impor-
tant to the government than the suc-
cess Of it's colonial plans is the smash
ing defeat administered to the Social
lists, who will lose seventeen or eight
cen seats.
This is the first election since 1887
that the Socialists have not increased
their representation in the reichstag
by from five to twenty seats. They
have lost especially in several large
cities, among these places being Bres-
lau, Halle, Magdeburg, Leipzig and
Koenigsberg.
The results of the election have
been officially declared in 361 districts
out of a total of 1877. The Socialists
lost seventeen seats and gained one,
The Center party lost two and gained
one. The two Conservative parties
lost three and gained four. The Mod
crate Radicals lost one and gained
three. The National Liberals lost six
and gained ten. The Agrarians lost
four and gained three. In the 361
districts only 209 members were elect.

THE SCRUB MUST GO.
Improved Breeding Of Live Stock the
Order of the Day.


Years ago when the state fair first
opened ii caught us in a state Of total
unpreparedness. as II were, especially
Oh cattle. and very few fine Texas
bred cattle were ON exhibition, writes
George III. Hogan in Farm and Ranch.
A few enterprlslng exhibitors from 9th
er states with cattle and hogs saved
the day, so TO speak, n opened the
eyes of our understanding and set us
to thinking along the lines of enlight-
eminent. The state fair was a revela-
ton to many, the state press especial
ly. Our agricultural press at once
turned over a new leaf, and men be-
gan to breed along the lines of prac-
teal common sense.
1t is a maxim among those best in
formed on the subject that the sire il
much more than half the herd in all
domesticated animals. Intelligent
breeders all recognize the absolute ne
cessity OF an unbroken blood line in
the sire, but thousands OF our farmers,
who have not taken lime to get their
heads above the pillow handles long
enough to attend the fairs, are still
plodding along and breeding their
stock, especially cattle, just any old
way, simply to increase the number
and many times to avoid the payment
Of a reasonable breeding fee.
"The scrub must CO." Is the hand
writing on the walls of our barns and
stables all over our land, whether he
be swine, bovine, equine or the genus
homo. Improved methods, improved
breeding, improved implements, i'm
proved seed, are the order of the day
and a failure TO adopt which in this
hustllng age will certainly bring to
grief all who stay In the old ruts.
The competition In everything Is be-
coming SO sharp that people are be-
Ing forced to keep informed or they
will be relegated to the rear. Yes, the
scrub must 90.
