But the Cautious Farmers Secret Was
Guessed by a Detective.

You have often heard the question.
Where a mans treasure Is, there will
his heart be also. said detective.
Il saw in illustration OF that not long
ago on a railroad train. A detective
employed by the railway company and
I were seated near a countryman who
adjusted his necktie every few min
utes.
"'That tie bothers the old man.
said to my companion.
Don't think it's the tie replied
the railroad detective.
"Then he leaned forward and said
to the farmer. BETTER take your
money out OF that necktie'
Who told you had money in my
tier demanded the farmer
"The detective then explained that
his actions in adjusting his neckwear
led to the supposition. The farmer
admitted that he had chosen the tie
as the hiding place for number OF
bills
His idea was all right concluded
the detective. but he couldn't keep
his hands off the cravat"

Sir Douglass Straight told this tale
at recent dinner OF the Journeymen
Hairdressers' Trade society in Lon
don; When a young barrister he went
into a BARRIERS shop TO be shaved and
was a little startled to see the wom-
an cashier behind the counter star
ing at him from time TO time through
the glass door. When he got outside
the shop policeman said Il am
very glad TO find you have come out. "
The officer explained that he had been
anxious because the barber had just
come out OF a lunatsa asylum the pre-
viSus week and his relatives were
wondering whether they would have
to scnd him back again.

CITIES DEBTS.

According 10 the report Of the Department Of Commerce and La Dor, just issued, the total indebted ness Of the 154 cities in 1905 was sl. SIS, All ,005, of which s1,4+4 :, 623,79i was classed as funded" and the remainder as floating. Of that remainder s75,494,792 was classed as revenue or tax loans" s77,982,99S as special assessment loans;" s18,9950,122 as "outstand ing warrants" and s1,260,296 as miscellaneous obligations. Of the aggregate indebtedness thus re- ported by the 154 cities, s1,251,- 630,914 was incurred by the city government, s26,S22,6O9 by inde- pendent school districts for the same territory as the coty, and s59,960, 482 by civil divisions hav- ing such similar territory and also authorized to incur debt.
 The total indebtedness of the 143 cities for which reports were received for the years 1902 to 1905 was s1,297,735,51O in 1902; s1.- 396, 1920 in 1903; s1,528,724,- 36o in 1904 and s1,610,o74,280 in 1905.
 The indebtedness, less sinking fund assets, for these 143 cities for the years mentioned was s1,026,- 22s,373, sl,106,327,124. s1,225,- 51.OsO, and $1.2sO,67S,6 ,632. In four years the population of these cities increased 7.9 per cent, while the indebtedness, less sinking fund assets, increased }.25.S per cent. or more than three times the per cent of increase of population. AS re- suit, the per capita net indebtedness : which was s51.14 in 1902, has risen to s5S.48 in-19O5.
