How a Scheme Was Spoiled.

Henry Clews is telling a new story,
which he says he got straight from the
Canal street district. A young jobbing
firm overbought for the fall trade. Their
heaviest mistake had been in a line of
oyercoats, which it seemed they would
have TO carry over for a season. Efforts
to get cash for the stock were fruitless,
except as ruinous rates. At last the firm
went to an old-timer in the trade for ad-
vice.
Well" said the man of experience,
you've got a pretty good list of custom
ers. Just divide the coats into lots of
thirteen each. Send a batch apiece to
some of your sharpest customers. hut
make out the bills for twelve They'll be
so tickled to get one coat for nothing
that they'll take 'em ALL"
The scheme had been tried before the
men met again. The old-timer waited for
praise.
We'll, didn't they keep the coats?" he
asked.
Yes" returned the jobber sadly. "One
each. The one that wasn't billed. New
York Times.

How Marse Henry Got Par.

Years ago the Louisville COurier-JOur-
nal acquired 400 Mexican silver dollars
III payment of some obligation The mon
ey was put III canvas bag and thrown
into a safe, there being no circulation for
Mexican money in Louisville 1t is the
rule of the Office that Marse Henry Wat
shall have at all times any money he
desires from the cashier. One night
Marse Henry got into a little game of
draw near the office. Things went badly
for him. Suddenly he appeared in the
counting room of the paper and asked
the clerk in charge for money. There
was little money on hand, as the cash
had been banked that afternoon and only
a small sum left on the till for the bust
ness that might come III during the even
ing.
There isn't much, Mr.. Watterson,"
said the clerk
How much?" inquired Marse Henry.
Only about $50 or $50
'Psnaw,' said Marsh Henry, that
amounts to nothing. Isn't there anything
III the safe"
Nothing but 400 Mexican dollars
Well" said Marse Henry, give me
200 of those"
The clerk counted the dollars out and
Marse Henry toted them over to the
game.
An hour later he returned, happy as
a lark. ''Tom," he said to the clerk,
give me those other 200 Mexican dor
lars. | am losing them to those fellows
over there for hundred cents apiece"

A Prevented Combat.

\ scene that was more than farcical
occurred in the House of Commons last
session. Two of the most respectable
members of the House were seen with
their coats off and with a staid old
policeman standing between them.
The two had been downstairs to wash
their hands, and by some mischance had
changed coats. They went into the House
together. One of them, putting his hand
into his coat pocket. pulled out an old
briar pipe of very strong flavor. 1t was
not his He looked at the coat, also
that of his neighbor, and, turning to his
friend, said:
Excuse me, but l think you have put
on my coat"
Il beg your pardon; have done moth
ing of the kind"
Il think" replied the other parlia-
mentarian this is your pipe; and if you
put your hand into the right hand peck
ct of the coat You are wearing you will
find a cigar case"
Dear me,' was the reply. you GER
tainly are right. What shall we do?"
I'VE cannot change in the House"
observed the first member. Let US go
into the division lobby
Here is where the policeman came in.
Seeing the two facing one another, and
at the same time taking off their coats,
the policeman feared the worst. He
rushed up and placing Il hand on the
shoulder of each, said: Gentlemen! Gen
tlemen! Not here, please!'-M. \. Z.

Electric Farming.

Although agricultural machinery
originated in the United States and the
American farmer used patent mowers,
reapers and threshing machines long
before their European contemporaries
in the same field of labor had put aside
scythe, rake and fail, the possibility
of introducing electric power in farm
work was first recognized in the Old
World
This has probably been due to the
fact that the farmers Of America,
thrifty and far-seeng, recognizing the
economy and reliability Of the small
oil engine, failed to perceive how any
saving could be effected by generating
electric current and distributing to its
motors in outlying positions.
When, however the mains from some
large electric power company pass with
in reach of a farm or estate the condf-
tons are much more favorable, and
this state Of things must already exist
in a measure which Will be largely eN-
tended in the future. Current German
newspapers contain an interesting ac-
count Of the application Of electricity to
a group of farms in SaNony. The cleo
trio current is brought from an ada
cent town by overhead wires carried
on wooden poles. Two receiving sta
tons are arranged, from which the cleo
tricity is distributed to the farm build
ings and to convenient positions n the
fields for the purpose Of driving thresh-
ing and other machinery.
Sixteen fixed electric motors are in
crushing, pumping and for operating
machinery used in the manufacture of
potato spirit In addition to this pow
er equipment, six portable motors are
provided, which may be used for driv-
ing pumps, circular saws, threshing ma
chinery, and so forth, at any point
where their services are required. The
houses and buildings on the farms are
all lit by electricity, 8 arr lamps and
about 1000 glow lamps being used for
the purpose.
1t must be pointed out, however, that
this example could only be followed in
the United States on very large estate
or a group of adjacent farms. and it IS
doubtful whether such a scheme could
be made a commercial success for the
operation Of farming machinery pure
and simple 1t would appear that wood
saving, pumping and other operations
requiring power mus be in GUIDED if
the results are TO compare favorabiy
with those at present obtained by the
use of oil or steam engines. But the
Saxon experiment is full of interest.
and displays a cu:iously progressive
spirit in a country where farm fences
are almost unknown. and shepherds and
cowherds are still living amid pictur-
esQue realities.

Too Sharp for EN-.

Rather humorous is the story of Jack
Downey, the great little lightweight.
This Jack was born in Brooklyn, but in
his youth he did more of playing truant
than OF attending school. He was al
ways out in some back lot boxing with
other boys, when he should have been
studying.
Jack went one night 70 see a fight at
the Greenwood Athletic club. Charlie
Banks, the manager, approached Dow
ney with the intention of signing him as
coming attraction.
"Win you fight New York Jack
O'Brien here?" asked Banks.
Sure" replied Downey.
''AlI right. Well give you a guarantee
of $500.
What exclaimed Downey. 81 guess
mott No, sir! A thousand or nothing. I'm
no cheap fighter"
And Manager Banks let it go at that.

he was rewarded for his fidelity by being
made provisional gov ernOr of his state.

was member of the Alabama Legisla-

office. he voted against secession.
Soon afterward he wrote his wife
that, as his supply of shirts was ex-

The Maine law regulating the sale of
agricultural seeds requires that grass
seed shall be sold under a guarantee as
to purity. Bulletin 1873 of the Maine
agricultural experiment station, which.
doubtless, many of your readers have
received, gives analysis of the seeds
which were collected by the inspector
and those sent to the experiment sta
ton by correspondence in 1906. The
dealers are very generally conforming
to the law and the purity Of most seeds
is now guaranteed. The question nat
urally arises in the mind of a farmer,
should a seed be strictly pure, and, if
not, how nearly pure should it be?
The purity of seeds varies greatly
with their kind. 1t is possible to grow
timothy seed so clean that it shall car
ry practically no foreign weed seeds.
1t is not as easy to grow any of the
other grasses or cIovers so clean. There
is no need for the soWer to ever buy
timothy seed that is much less than
99.5 per cent pure. Samples have been
examined by the station the present
year which contained not a single for
eign harmful seed.
Tie best red clover seed will fire.
quently carry as much is l per cent
of foreign matter, although these i'm
purities are usually comparatively
harmless. 1t is, however poor policy
for the sower to buy a red-clover seed
that is less than 9S per cent pure The
best grades OF alsike clover will run
about $50 per cent pure on the average.
1t is doubtful if the purchaser should
buy an alsike whose purity is less than
97.5 per cent.
RedtOp is the most difficult seed Of
all. 1t will, of course. contain more
or less chaff. 1t is difficult to grow red
top free from timothy, and the seed
cleaners find it difficult to separate tim
othy seed from redtop after it has once
been introduced. Samples of redtop
carrying as high as u or even 10 per
cent of timothy are not unusual. If
one could be sure that the impurities
were harmless like chaff and timothy
it might be safe to buy a redtop even
as low as So per cent pure. Unless one
is assured of the character of the i'm
purities. it is unwise to buy a redtop
less than 90 per cent pure.
