NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-John d.
Archbold of the Standard OIL Com
pany, said today. when the statement
or Senator Foraker about the $50.
600 draft was called to his attention:
That is exactly so; ii is the truth. !"
Il had forgotten about the Incl
dent" said Mr.. ArchbOld, when IL
was recalled to my mind by the pub
lication Of the story. AS I recall il
now, Senator Foraker thought he
could consummate the deal for the
purchase of the Ohio State Journal.
and I sent him the draft for $50 900
as temporary loan until he could
finance the undertaking. The nego-
tiations fell through, and the SEN
ator returned the $4,000 draft in
tact. That is the whole truth I'm the
matter and really all there is to it."

The coIorsd Brothers Reason.


Booker T. Washington told the story
Of a negro pastor who was having
some difficulty with his flock.
1.-THE old fellow came to me and
asked me to help him out" said Mr.
Washington. 81 went down to the lit.
tie backwoods country church with
him one Sunday. Incidentally took
occasion to inquire among the parish
toner's little and found that they had
not paid the old man his salary.
upon this basis Of information
started in to admonish the members
Of the congregation. 1 told them that
they should pay their pastor; that he
had to live; that he had to have his
salary.
"All in all, was making pretty
good speech. had most Of the con-
gregation convinced, I think.
"But there was one old fellow in
the back of the church that was mum
bling during my talk. He would snick-
er a little and duck his eyes below the
old soft hat he held up to his face. We
amt goin' to pay i'm any more salary
this year.
'The old fellow became so obstrep-
erous that demonstrated with him.
Brother, why are you not going to
pay your pastor any more salary this
year, asked him.
"Because we done paid him for
them same sermons last var was the

Mistakes of DRUG Clerks.

"There Is one loss sustained by drug
gists that very few people know
about" said the experienced clerk.
THAT Is in the prescriptions that-haye
to be made over, the same as clerks,
stenographers. writers and artists, no
matter how palnstaklng. frequently
have to do their work over. The most
careful drug clerk in existence is
bound to make mistakes sometimes in
measuring and mixing.
"He may pour in too much Of some
kind of liquid or slft In too much of a
certain powder. In most cases the
overdose would not really affect the
value of the medicine, but the conscl-
entIous clerk isn't going to take any
chances Of numbering anybody, so he
throws away the whole mixture and
makes up another prescription"
