Risky Speculation.

In the days "befo' de wah' a handy
negro named Jack was saving money
earned at odd times with which to buy
his freedom. His master encouraged
him and kept his money for him. In
time Jack had saved 5000 and needed
only another hundred to make him
free. His master told him that it
wouldn't be long now until he could
get another hundred. Jack went out
with another slave to celebrate some
local festival. Returning along the
railroad track they were frightened by
an approaching train. Both got off the
track. but Jacks companion fell and,
striking his head against q rock, was
killed. Jack hurried as rapidly as he
could to his masters house. 1t was
a late hour, but the master must hear
him. He said, "Gimme NAH money
right now" The astonished master
demonstrated, saying, "But, Jack. you
need only another hundred dollars to
get free" II knows it. Mars Henry, |

Stories have been told Of buttons,

but it is seldom that a church member
strikes a blow so severe as vas that
delivered by Amos Budd of P%otterville
on one occasion.
1t was at the close of a missionary
sermon that Mr.. Budd. whose wont it
was to contribute 10 cents to each Of
the charities to the support of which
the church subscribed. was seer to
take a blue slip from his pocket and
look at it .keenly and ~afectionately.
When after a slight but evident hest
tation he dropped the slip. carefully
folded. into the box Deacon Lane. who
was passing it. could hardly refrain
from an exclamation of joy.

Grieq as a Schoolbov,

Grieg, the noted composer. was not a
pattern schoolboy. In a description of
his days at school he wrote: "Knowing
that by arriving late l would not be
allowed to enter the class until the end
of the first lesson, I used. on wet morn
ings, to stand under a dripping roof
until I was soaked to the skin. The
master then sent me home to change

this was equivalent TO giving me a dis

Weeds Worth Millions.

New Zealand fax is one Of a. num-
Der of wild weeds that yield their
gatherers great wealth. The fax, the
strongest known, grows wild in
marshes. When it Is cultivated It
dwindles and its abers become brittle
and valueless.
Indian hemp grows wild. and out of
1t hasheesh. Or keef. Is made. Keef
looks like fakes of chopped, straw. It
is smoked in q pipe; it is eaten on
liver; it Is drunk In water; it produces
an intense, a delirious happiness. and
among %orientals it takes the place OF
beer and whisky.
The most valuable weed of all the
wild growths is the seaweed. The
nitrate beds Of South America, which
yield something like $685. 1000. 900 a year,
are nothing but beds Of seaweed de

customer, being a good business man,
gave his personal attention to the de-

"What does this mean" he asked
on q final inspection Of the bills. Three
hundred dollars to a quartet Of trained
musicians. How can anybody have
given q concert already in my house
when no one is living there?"
'eThey were testing the acoustics of
the rooms" the architect explained.
'sEvery room In your house has been
unlimited to that test. There will be
plenty of music there later On, and /

A NOVEL METHOD
Employed by High School Pupils to
Raise Funds For Library

The sixty-fve students of the Prince
ton, Mo-, high school adopted a novel
method Of making money last week.
Funds were needed for the library ex
chequer, and the students metaphori-
cally took the bull by the horns" and
proceeded to raise the necessary. Their
efforts were crowned by success, over
800 being raised. The money will
purchase 100 volumes for the library.
The senior class turned in the most
money, and the others trailed after.
These are some of the novel methods
they employed. Several of the pref.
test and most popular lassies secured
shoe shining outfits, and went about
the town, soliciting business. One girl
at the end of her days work had S10.25
to show for her labor. All. or most
all, of the sophomore girls sold cakes
and candies of their own manufacture.
They did exceedingly well, and no
cases of serious illness were
reported from the purchasers. Some
other of the girls washed windows,
washed dishes, scrubbed floors, black.
ed stoves, and performed other menail
duties, with the paramount intention
Of raising money for their beloved pro.
iect.
The boys cleaned and raked yards
sawed wood, shucked corr for nearby
farmers and performed other various
labors and chores. The principal OF
the school himself, arrayed his person
in overalls, and spent the day with
the street cleaning gang.
Such is humility.
