THE PART HE PREFERRED.
Subtle Meaning In Poets Criticism Of
DecoIlete Costume.

Joaquin Miller, the poet Of the Sier-
ras, is something of a recluse and
rarely comes into San Francisco, but
when he does he Is made good deal
of lion. On his last visit he was
one of the guests at a rather formal
dinner at friends house where he
stayed overnight. His hostess had
known the poet since her childhood,
so she felt privileged, next morning, to
discourse to him of the beauties of
the Partisan gown she had worn the
night before-beauties which seemed
to have escaped his observation.
Mr.. Miller listened to all that she
had to say and remained silent.
"But didn't you really like the
dress?" pleaded the lady. 81
"Well," replied the poet, ri did like
part Of 1t we'll enough"
The lady frightened.
"Indeed?" she said. what part?"
1.-THE part you had on" answered
the poet; and that ended the discus
sion.-Lippincott's.

State Encampment Lies With
ConQresS.

If bill now pending before Con.
gress providing for liberal appropria-
ton of money for state militia annual
encampments passes, the Arkansas Ma
tional Guard will hold its annual en-
campment the coming summer at Leon
Springs, Tex. Otherwise it is very
probable that the encampment will be
held at Fort Riley, Kan, where the
guard has been encamped once before.
Adjutant General Paul Little of the
Arkansas National Guard explained
that he was awaiting the outcome Of
the present appropriation bill now be-
fore the Congress. If the bill passes,
the various state militias will be pro-
vided with funds to hold encamp-
ments, and such an appropriation
would mean enough money for the Ar
kansas Guard to allow it to go to Leon
Springs. Otherwise the encampment
will probably have to be held at Fort
Rile as the expense in going there
would be much less.

Early Camp Requested.

Adjt. Gen. Paul Little has written
to the United States War Department
asking that the Arkansas regiment
of state guard to be sent to Leon
Springs to participate in the maneou-
vers there, in case it is decided to
send regiment to that place, be al
lowed to go into camp at Leon
Springs during the months of either
July or August, instead of during
October. The request was made be-
cause of the fact that the members
of the Argansas regiment will be ex-
tremely busy during the month Of
October because of the cotton market
activity.

PURCHASED EXPERIENCE.
Dealing Away from Home Causes I'm.
necessary Expense and Annoyance.

One peculiar phase of human nature
is shown by how some people will
jump in and buy goods without see
ing what they are getting. Not long
ago a man out in western state, who
had made a few thousand by farming,
decided to build new house in his
home town. He was a tight-fisted,
pinch-the-penny kind of fellow, and
decided that he would buy all he could
in the way of fixings from the mail-or-
der houses. He had the local plumb
er do the la4dpiping and lot OF
work that the mail-ofder people
couldn't do, then ordered his bath-tub
and toilet fixings from a mail order
concern He priced the tubs in tho
local house, then decided that he could
save two or three dollars. He got
his tub and his stand from abroad.
Both came without fixtures. There
was lot of trouble over freight, and
when the tub was put in place 1t was
found that nothing in the town could
be had to fit it. Faucets, valves, ETC.,
were ordered from the house that sup
piled the tub. When they came 1t
was found they were the wrong size.
They were sent back, and another lot
sent. Then even the local plumber
had to work two or three days extra
to get things in shape. When the job
was completed, it was found that the
cost was some SIS more than the
home man offered to do all the work
and supply the equipment. This is
only one illustration of how money
can be saved by ordering from a
house at a distance.
Some who order from the retail
mail-order houses get taste of the
real thing. A young man in Ne
braska town sent IS cents to one of
the concerns for a buggy whip. 1t
was represented as cheap at twice the
price In a week or so he got it by
express, charges only rs cents. 1t was
done up in a package that the COM
pany didn't charge for, but when ex-
amined, the young man found that
the same whip could be had of his
home storekeeper for SO cents. There
was cents money order and postage;
rs cents expressage and SIS cents for
the whip, making total of $1.45, not
counting the trouble of ordering-all
this for a whip that could be had for
one-third the amount at home.

STUDY OF HUMAN NATURE.
Important to Man of Business to Be
Reader of Character.

How many business men appreciate
how valuable a knowledge of human
nature really is to them? There are
few things, even the capital employed
in business, more valuable than the
faculty of understanding the people
with whom one must deal day after
day.
The successful man iR.~every walk
of life is the man who intuitively
knows how to deal with those whom
he comes in contact. 1t is the knowl-
edge of human nature and the ability
to read human character that makes
the politician a success, that gives the
public man in every walk of life the
most useful power in his possession.
If the average business man paid lit
tie more attention to physiogomy and
its kindred studies he would be more
successful. The idiosyncrasies OF
mankind are as various as the shells
of the ocean. Each individual cannot
be understood, but he can be placed
in his class, and fair estimate of
him made by the man who can read
the face and understand natural ac-
lions.
One of the first studies of the bust
ness man should be his customers.
He should know little of the charac-
ter of EACH He should be able to tell
the well-meaning, honest one from the
dead beat, and know how best to
handle each one. There is a differ
ence between the actions of the man
who is always looking for some mer-
chant who will trust him and who
never pays his bills, and the honest
man. There is also a difference be-
tween the dishonest ones, and the
honest one who is never-to-well, and
always in the 'hole." Day after day
the daily papers tell of the smooth
forgers who pass worthless checks,
the country jay who has check
cashed or buys goods on some one
else's credit. How much could such
work be prevented if the average bust
ness man only could read character
as he should? The wise man will lose
no opportunity to study human nature
and profit thereby. 1t is a capital
as useful to him as the money he has
invested in his business.

Hen Talk.

The poultry business has always
been looked upon as a hard times"
business by many thousands of peo-
pie. When times are good and money
is plentiful the poultry business is
looked upon by many as s'pin-money"
affair, but when hard times threaten
or are at hand, when thousands OF
people are daily being thrown out OF
a job, then it is that they begin to
think of taking up poultry.
OF all classes the poultry man has
poultry business has never been on a
better footing than it is now. 1t is
the experience of all the years; the
lean years financially are the years
when the poultry business grows. This
is because, when men and women are
brought face to face with the proba-
biljty of losing their positions, they
begin to look around for some way in
which to invest their savings SO that
it will bring in a profitable income
should the worst happen, and they are
thrown out of employment. No bust
ness can be started on so small capi-
tai as poultry, and yield a livelihood
for those who follow it.
It takes less capital TO get q start
M the poultry business, and get Ito
yield an income for living expenses,
than any other business know of,
without having previous experience.
Where they are content to start at the
bottom, or in small way, and grow
in the business, gaining experience as
they grow, and profting by this eXpe-
rienee, and with due attention given
to their business, they will rarely find
it a failure.
Poultrymen who have stock to sell
can find buyers now more readily than
would be possible if every one were
working and receiving good wages.
The average farmer is in position to
get started in the poultry business
more cheaply than anyone else, as he
has plenty of ground and oftentimes
house room that is idle that might
just as we'll be making him money.
Statistics show that the farmer
who always keeps poultry and gives
any attention to it at the end of the
year has a smaller store account than
the farmer who does not.
