Rails Worth More Than Farms.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
Murfreesboro, Tenn.-The high
price of farm property in Rutherford
county is not due entirely to the pro-
ductiveness of the soil nor the salts
factory prices Of farm products.
The red cet.der rails used to fence
most of the farms in this country
are now nearly as valuable as is the
land they surround. The American
Peucil company is buying up all OF
these rails that can be had, and good
prices are being realized for them by
the sellers.
One farmer sold the rails from his
farm for $500, and it is stipulated
that they are to remain on the farm
for five years. Another farmer, l..
D. Harrell, sold 100000 rails for
about $4,000. Others have sold
smaller amounts, but in all cases It
has astonished the farmers to learr.
how much money he had invested in
rails.
1t is said that the pencil company
has bought $150,000 worth Of cedar
rails since the establishment OF the
plant here.

DIAMOND FIRE BRICK co.
GETS BIG ORDER

The Diamond Fire Brick Company
on Thursday received an order for
twenty-five car loads OF fire brick
from Pueblo and have been given as
surauces that there will be no lack
of business in the future. In view OF
the quiet condition Of affairs that has
prevailed for several months among
the brick manufacturers the encour-
aging outlook for the future is hailed
with genuine satisfaction. II is stated
on apparently good authority that the
improvement In the condition Of the
brick trade is due to the election Of W.
II. Taft as president of the United
States. The stimulus that has been
given to that class OF business during
the last fews days gives a plausibility
to the statement to say the least.

WOUND WATCH WRONG WAY. |
The Story of a Left- Handed Woman
and Her Timepiece.

women don't deserve to own
Watches" recently remarked a Jewell
er. They don't know how to take
care of them. A woman bought a
watch from my firm recently and 1
gave her strict instructions to wind
it every "a hours and always at the
same hour as nearly as possible. Two
days later she came back with. it and
said it had stopped. Well, I found it
had run down. l told her, but she
insisted sEe had wound it. Two or
three days later she came back with
the same complaint, and again tried
to Impress her with the necessity for
winding it. Again she insisted she
had done so and went away miffed
The third time she came | asked her
to show me how she had wound it..
Then I made peculia" discovery. The
woman was left-handed, and in at
tempting to wind the watch she had
been winding it the wrong way. I've
had peculiar experiences with Gus
toners, but that beats ALL"

Out Of the SchooIroom.

A schoolboy was asked to give some
information in regard to the Cary sis
ters, the once famous New England
poets, and he said of them: "The Cary
sisters were two poets who lived in
Massachusetts most of the time They
went to New York where they made
many fast friends. Their fastest
friend was John G.. Whittier" At the
time Of the Longfellow centennial,
when the school children were writ
ing so much about him, one boy
wrote: 'Longfeliow's poems were
mostly Of his own composure, but he
wrote Tails Of a Wayside Inn where
others did the talking. He was the
poet lorryett Of our talking. He was
the poet lirryett Of our country and
was crackerjack when 1t came to
real poetry. y."-Lippincott's.

Beaver on Elk River.

"The impression that the beaver is
almost extinct in this country is
mistake" said George H. Hover, of
Vancouver, B. G. "On the Elk river.
tributary Of the Fraser, in my own
province, there are this season thou
sands Of these little animals. whose
fur is so valuable, building their win
ter quarters. The Elk river has al
ways been a favorite spot for the
beaver, but this year the influx has
been so marked that even the most
experienced trapper cannot tell
whence they came. There are now
large number of trapi>ers on the river
engaged in catching them as fast as
possible. Most of the skins are shipped
to San Francisco, while some go t0
Montreal and Toronto. From these
cities they will go to others in all
