Human PenhoIders.

A man who lives in Manhattan has
hit upon an unusual scheme whereby
he always carries his writing pen
with him. He has been letting the
nail of his forefinger grow for more
than a year, until now it is nearly an
inch long and it is cut and shaped like
the nib of goose quill pen. When
ever he wishes to use pen and ink he
dips his finger into the ink and scrib-
bles along at very rapid rate.
Writing in this way was not as easy
as it looked. With no long holder to
give the hand balance and with an en-
tirely different position of the hand
and fingers to master, this human
penholder found that it required some
practice and skill to do as well with
his novel instrument as with the Or
binary one.

Romance In a Banana.

A Handsworth (Eng) servant girl
had singular romance arising out Of
a love letter which she found inside a
banana. When preparing a banana
for the table she noticed birds quill
projecting, and inside was a letter
written in the smallest characters, but
legible.
The writer enclosed his address and
stated that he was engaged upon the
Jamaica plantation. His life was very
lonely and he desired a mate to share
his loneliness. The girl decided to an
sWer the letter, and two months later
received a further reply repeating the
offer of marriage.
Correspondence continued for about
a year. Both were looking forward to
marriage, when, unfortunately for the
Jamaica planter, former soldier
lover of the young lady appeared on
the scene and the wedding with the
old sweetheart has now been fixed.

were votes printed and it was decided

Teh town clerk was elected by a
motion from the floor instructing the
moderator to cast one ballot for the
chosen candidate. Then followed bal

Following this wag stepped up to

is the best governed, most enlight- |
ened, most moral, and happfest spot
in American civilization. 1t is good
safe place. Not too swift, nor yet too
slow In touch with the current of
progress, but not racing with greed.
The place from which come nearly all
the great business men, lawyers,
scholars, preachers, physicians. The
place where men are neighborly and
helpful
This town, my farmer friend, is
yours. But the city belongs to the
mail order houses and the devil. With
it's corrupt government, its overflow.
of population, and it's vice, the great
city is the menace Of our morals and
our liberties.
The city like the dragon swallows
the vast throngs of country boys and
girls that flock into it, and by and by
when health, and virtue and hope are
gone, spews them out to die in want,
or wander as derelicts over the face
of the earth.
And don't you see, my friend, that
when you take the money from che
country town, you destroy the chance
| of success there, and the boys and
| girls will follow where you have sent
| the money?
This town of yours was founded on
faith, on the faith in the customs OF
men for hundreds of years to trade at
| the nearest town. These merchants
and carpenters, masons and editors
are your neighbors. They have grown
up amongst you or amongst others
like you.
They have put their all in a little
business, money, time and hope.
Around the corner there is little cot
tage, and the wife and the baby-1t
may be your grand baby-Wait; and
there is a smile of happiness when
business is good" but the troubled
look comes when business is poor.
They are struggling to live, and pay
for the little home, and by and by ed
ucate the children. They are your
| nefghbors and friends, not your enc
mics. They work hard-you scarcely
realize how hard-and are not living
high. They have pinned their faith
to the town-your town.
Their success or failure is in your
hands. For your trade they will give
you good returns, and all will prosper
together. If you withdraw your trade,
failure must follow. Some poor strug-
gler must go down facing bankruptcy.
The light must go out Of some wom-
ans eye, and hardship be laid up for
the child.
Even IL you could, save a little by
sending your patronage to the city, do
you not think it the fair thing, the just
thing, the right thing, to trade at the
little home town with those you know,
those whose prosperity and happiness
are in your hands?
For it is written, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself"

uo,.ses of Whale Bones,

Not very long ago there was on the
coast of Lancashire, England, a cot
tage and boathouse that were made
almost entirely from the remains of a
score or so of whales that had been
driven ashore some years before. The
framework of the edifice consisted
wholly of whalebone, and the dried
skins of the huge creatures were neat
" and strongly fastened as covering
for walls and roof. There is another
building of exactly the same kind in
Scotland, and in this case the skulls
of the whales and some of the heavier
homes are used with great effect as
outside ornaments.

"HAIL THE Chief"
SALUTE OF FlREBOAT CREW TO
DIGNlFlED NOBODY.
Rather Mean Trick Played on Man
Over impressed with His Own
Importance - Took Cere-
nony as His Just Due.

A former chief engineer of the vol
unteer fire department in the little
toWn of Hinsdale, N. H, who is we'll
known throughout New England for
his great dignity, gruff manners and
small stature, took pleasure trip to
New York some time since with a
friend who was not lacking in a sense
OF humor. They decided to inspect
the fireboats in the harbor, those pow
erful engines which can throw an ava
lanche of water, compared to which
the old hand-tub, the engine of the
Hinsdale department, could throw but
a drop to a bucket.
The chiefs friend managed to slip
word to one Of the officers about
the chiefs appreciation of himself and
his position. When, therefore, the
visiting party boarded the fire-tug
they found the crew lined up in double
row. An officer inquired about the
personality of their leader, and back
came the reply: "Chief of the Hins-
dale fire department" Instantly every
hand came to the salute, and as one
voice the crew repeated: "All hail
the chief"
With perfect gravity the chief board
ed the boat, taking the ceremony as
his just due while behind him his
companions faces were wreathed in
smiles, and as he passed along the
| line the crew might be seen doubling
up as though taken with cramps.
This same chief will be remembered
for an incident which occurred a
few years later. His unpopularity
came to a climax at the spring town

YOUR OBLIGATIONS
SOME OF THE THINGS YOU OWE
YOUR OWN TOWN.
YOU SHOULD BUY AT HOME
The Country Town Can BE Made
the Very Best Place to
Live In the United
States.
fCopvriebt. bv Alfred G, C1ark.,


A preacher who was a crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for a rest handed
him text he thought safe, "The way
of the transgressor is hard"
Friends" Said the preacher, there
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First, the transgressor.
Second, his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once to the third"
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given, but sup
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason:
It is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques-
ton in every transaction is whether
it is right or wrong. Not will I save
money, but Is it just? Not is it more
convenient, but is it fair? Not
whether is it good business, but
whether it is good morals?
For you and I know, and all the
world is coming to know, that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And a man may be as dis
honest in saving money as in getting
It.
1t is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send it
away because we are under obliga,
tons to the home town, but not TO
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is IN
der financial obligations to the town
Of course the town is also indebted
to the country, but the town cannot
help but pay it's debt, it's very exist
ence does that. Hence we are merely
discussing the country side Of the OBJ
legation.

Mater From PENNSYLVANIA Mines,

Over 5O0,0O0,000 gallons Of water
are pumped out of the anthracite coal
mines of Pennsylvania every day in
the year. The exact average for 1905
was 633 100000 gallons day. Nearly
900 powerful B. engines, delivering
from mine bottom to surface 100000
gallons of water minute, are re-
ouired. Mines may be shut down and
coal production suspended, but the
water flows on forever. According to
the Iron Age, the cost of removing it
Is one of the important items Of ex-
pense that make up the price OF an
thracite.

soldiers Gold Watch.

A soldier OF the First regiment Of
artillery named Jules Corneloup was,
saws the Paris Figaro, leaving the sta
ton of the Metropolitan at the Avenue
de suffren when a passer-by said:
Look out, you're going to lose your
watch"
He looked down and found a mag
nificent gold watch hanging by chain
to button OF his dolman. It had evi-
IDENTIFY been caught in the crowd and
remained hanging to the button.

Find 200 acres of good land almost
anywhere that is 20 miles from town
and you can buy it for SIS an acre.
The same land within ten miles Will
bring $35, within five miles it's value
is $50, within two miles $85 an acre.
Thus that town has increased the
land within radius Of ten miles an
average of $35 dollars an acre. AS
that is about the age of country towns
generally, you may figure that town,
as long as it is fairly prosperous, in
creases the land around it an average
of one dollar an acre every year.
Not considering staple articles like
cattle, hogs and grain which can be
shipped and sold anyway, the town as
a local market is worth at least $50
a year to the ordinary farmer.
For example: This year the peach
markets were so glutted no, ordinary
fruit would pay the express. Around
the little town in which the writer
lives most farmers have few peach
trees. The 1000 inhabitants bought
nearly every bushel in the vicinity at
from 40 cents to dollar a bushel.
More than $4,000 was paid for peaches
within three weeks.
That was clear gain which must be
set over to the credit Of the town.
Plums, cherries, early vegetables,
scores of little odds and ends, perish
able stuff that the farmer could not or
would not ship he turns into cash at
| the home town.
So if a man owns 200 acres within
reach of town, he will receive $275 a
year direct cash value from that
town, none of which he would receive
| from the mail order house.
To be sure, the town does not do
nate him that amount, the town was
not built for the purpose of philan
| thropy, yet he receives an actual cash
benefit because the town is there; and
he is under actual financial ob1iga
lions to return that benefit by spend
| ing his money at home.
It is not an obligation that the Law
would recognize, but it is one that ap
peals to those independent, clear
hearted men of high honor who fee
that perfect honesty demands tina
when benefits are received from
stranger or brother, friend or foe
benefits should be returned.
It is sometimes argued that th'
town has forfeited its right to thu
farmers patronage by selling too high
But careful investigation will no
bear out that contention. Your tow
is unusually prosperous if you cal
count more than four merchants Wh'
have cleared $4,000 in the past tel
years. That is a thousand dollars
year for time and interest on capital
You can count five or six others VIII
have failed during that time, los
everything. The January invoice WI
not show a net gain OF S5oO pc
business man. That means the Of
binary merchant and his capital ar
not clearing $50 month. This doe
not indicate an unreasonable profit o.
goods sold.
