WHAT BEFALLS
The NON.SUBSCRlBER.

Did you ever notice that the
fellow who never subscribed for,
and the fellow who don't have
time to read newspapers, is the
one who gets it in the neck? He
is the fellow who is talked into
buying gold bricks. He is the
fellow that keeps the confidence
men sleek and fat. He is the
fellow that pays two prices for
an article that some slick agent
brings around. We could fill a
big book with account of how he
is feeced by not reading and
keeping posted. We once knew
a man who paid 25c for Concord
grape vines when he could have
bought them for sc piece or So
for hundred. We knew anoth-
er man who paid 81 for two vines
when he could have bought them
at the nursery for Zoe. A range
peddler once sold a $50 range to a
man for $50. The range man
put up at the best hotel, and his
expenses for team was large; yet
the man who was too busy to
read took the bait, when he could
have saved $50 by trading with
his home dealer, who, any ten
year-old child ought to know,
could sell cheaper than a man
whose expenses in hauling a
range day after day from house
to house, could sell it.. But the
fellow who hasn't time to read,
is the one that doesn't know how
to think when these slick ducks
come around after their money,
and he goes down in his jeans
and hands it over.A The item
readers are too well posted to
feed them. They don't swallow
all the fish stories peddled around
by the limber-tongued gentry
that live off those innocent souls
who have mo time to read" and
don't take any paper. Burnside

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

When you want a thing an
hour is a long time to wait.
You can easily play a joke on a
man who likes to argue. Agree
with him.
If man follows your advice
and succeeds, he will never adj
nit that it was your advice that
he followed.
We have noticed that the last
man to tell of his bad dream at
the breakfast table always had
the worst one.
Doesn't it seem some days as
though other people were put in
the world for no other reason
than to aggravate you?
Sometimes you think you are
meeting big people, and you find
upon closer acquaintance, that
they are two-fors.
All the advice given in wom-
ems magazines on how to be an
ideal guest, doesn't amount to
this much: To be an ideal guest
stay at home
We hope the furniture of the
future will not include a bureau,
We are tired of the collar button
-under-it jokes.
The weather that is ideal to
man is the kind that keeps his
family at home evenings, and the
neighbors out.
If you knew how cowardly your
enemy really is, you would not
fear him. Bravery is knowledge of
the cowardice in the enemy.
Should woman shake hands
heartily or should she put a limp
hand in yours and make you feel
that you ought to drop it as soon
as possible? We have shaken
hands with many women and
then felt that somehow we had
com NIT ted an indiscretion.

Suffering and Dollars Saved.
E. S. Lopez, of Marilla, N. Y, says:

Salve. 1t has saved me suffering and

salve have ever found" Heals burns,

AMBASSADOR BRYCE Il
One of the Most Popular Foreig
Iomats Who Ever Resided
Washington City. =

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., May 9.-Ambas-
sador Bryce, one of the most popular
foreign diplomats who ever resided in
Washington, will be seventy years old
tomorrow. If anyone were inclined to
doubt Mr. Bryce's popularity with
the American public, look at the
ambassadors daily mail would con-
vince him. There is scarcely day
that he does not receive from one to
a dozen or more invitations to attend
public functions or speak at conven-
tons and meetings of various kinds.
These invitations come from every
part of the country and it is doubtful
if any public man in Washington,
with the exception of :. the president,
receives more of them. During the
past few weeks the ambassador has
been heard in public addresses in sew
eral Southern cities. Before he leaves
Washington on his summer vacation
he will take several trips to the Mid
die West and speak at university COM
and on several other pub
lie occasions.

branches Moreover, he has spent
years afloat in the Chinese and Pa
cific stations, to say nothing of the
European station, and is entirely ia
miliar with all the conditions that will
arise as the fleet continues its cruise
to the Far East.
Admiral Sperry is native of
Brooklyn, but his family removed to
Connecticut when he was youth,
and in 1862 he was appointed to the
Naval Academy from that state. He
had no opportunity to take part in the
civil war, as he did not graduate until
1866 During the next two years or
SO he served on the Pacific and Euro
pean stations.
In 1893 he came to Washington and
was attached for two years to the
Bureau of Ordnance, as he was an ex-
pert in such matters. In 1894 he be-
came full commander, and from
July, 1895, to May, 1898, was station
ed at the New York navy yard. Then
the Spanish war came, but still Sper-
ry did not get his chance to get into a
fight. He was attached to the York
town as commander of the vessel, and
started across the Pacific to the Chi
nese station But by the time he
reached the other side,' Dewey had
wiped out the Spanish fleet in Manila
Bay and there remained nothing in
the fighting line for Sperry to do. He
became captain in 1900 and rear
in 1906.
In technical way Admiral Sperry
has been prominent. For two years
he was president of the War College.
He was a member of the general
board and of the joint army and navy
board, which considered the question
of fortification for the insular posses
sions of the United States. Last sum-
mer Admiral Sperry served as one of
