DISPLAYED HIS PLUCK.
In the Future He Would Carefully
Explain the Relationship.

]. Pierpont Morgan. apropos OF
pluck, told in the saloon of the Gel
tic an interesting story about a
clergyman who would not be snub-
bed.
He was an Englishman, said Mr.
Morgan, "and his richest parishioner
Lady Blank, used to hector him out
rageously. He stood her stupid hec-
toring for some time. Then he came
out nat-footed against her. There
after, he declared, she must not in-
terfere. Lady Blank thereafter put
nothing in the offertory. AS the sill
yer plate was passed about, she
would make stately inclination
over It, and put nothing in.

on for a month or two, the elder in
charge of the plate lost his temper
one morning, and said bitterly to the
lady. We could do with less o. yer
manners and more o. yer silver,

This audible remark made a
great success and great scandal In
the church.
"The clergyman, dining at lords
house repeated the story, and did
not spare Lady Blank. A roar went
up and down the table, but the lord
frowning black as a thunder cloud,
said.
Are you aware, sir, that Lady
Blank is q relative of miner

WHY He Didn't Prosper.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., in an ad-
dress on the subject of success, said:
II will illustrate my meaning with
an incident that happened in wes-
tern mill.
"a huge, brawny chap applied to
the foreman OF the mill for work.
Though there were no vacancies, the
foreman took him on--he told so
piteous a tale OF woe-and set him
to shoveling coal in the mill yard.
"In the afternoon the foreman
went to see how the new hand was
doing, He found him, in company
with an old hand-a lean veteran of
CO. -shoveling coal into a cart. But
the old hand worked faster than the
new one, shoyeling in two shoyeltlls
of coal to the new hands one.
Look here said the foreman to
the brawny stranger. this is hardly
fair Pete is throwing two shovel
fuls into the cart to your one
Yes, boss replied the new hand,
and told the fool about It, too. "

What He Meant.

An Irishman was walking along a
road beside II golf links when he was
suddenly struck between the shoul-
ders ky = golf ball The force of the
blow almost knocked him down,
When he recovered he observed u
golfer running toward him.
Are you hurt?" asked the player,
"Why didn't you get out OF the

"An' why should | get out Of the

ants are idle. They are getting

the lead for any candidate don't
scare them, and not a single one OF
them has a notion of quitting FOR the
simple reason that their Judgment
tells them that no contest is won
until the votes are counted, and It's a
long way until the final count.

EARNINGS OF A THoRouaHBRED
S3,50o,ooo to the Credit Of st. Simon
and His Stock.

A great feature in racing during
the last five and twenty years has
been the enormous amounts that have
been gained by thoroughbred sires,
and consequently their extraordinary
value.
IL can scarcely be conceived, says
Baily's Magazine, that In twenty years
St. Simon's stock have won in stakes
the monstrous total of E51O,2i7 l4s.,
that his stud fees during tnat period
amounted to G227,Gg2 los.
This is G737, $40 As. to the credit of
one horse, and he is alive now, look

full complement OF foals this spring
and with every promise of some use

his sons disposed of for 10000 Pulneas
daughter for l2,6OO guineas and 1O,-
900 soyereigns refused for another

Voting Saturday in the diamond-pl-
sno contest was not heavy All the
candidates were busy securing GER
aificates. Interest was as keen as
ever. The candidates are getting
more secretive every day. Neither
are they telling what they have or
paying any attention to the rumors
of what other candidates are doing.
Each contestant backed by coterie
of friends and fellow lodge members,
is laying deep plans for big coups,
as they now recognize fully that no
child's play Is going to win In this
contest. 1t has reached point where
the various organizations are meas
uring strength anG 1t Is fight to the
finish. The wise candidates are do
ing the least talking and the winners
are sure to come from that class.
Talk and Dragging won't win. It's
the still hunt hustlers who will be
there with the certificates on the last
day. While the others are talking,
they are out getting votes and maxi
ing every hour count. There are sew
eral candidates who have scarcely
made move yet, who will be heard
from In manner that will surprise
the whoe city. It's going TO take a
big vote to win and you had better
get busy II you want to wear the
diamonds. Ask your friends TO help
you now, and not put 1t off until 1t
is too late.
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE
Above all things, don't undersize
this contest. Apply a little business
the first prizes, the $3.50 plano ana
the 5000 diamond, are going to be
won by small vote? Don't think so
for moment If you do you are
going to be very much surprised and
disappointed Aim higher, or you
won't be one. two, three.
IDLE RUMOR.
III Is passing strange that sensible
people pay any attention to unfound-
ed rumors circulated about the con-
test. You hear that this candidate
has thousands in reserve and will win

Coupons are good for seven days

that is long enough time to vote
them in. Don't save the coupons,
but vote them daily and tell yonr

PRIMITIVE SYSTEM OF TAXATION.

"All OF the states of the American
Union-many OF them for almost u
century-haye been gradually getting
away from the exclusive ad valorem
property tax system for revenue pur-
poses, while in Earope the theory has
been dead for generations. The ex-
perience of all governments has dem
onstrated that general ad valorem
property tax is practically tax on
roal estate and no rules or regulations
have ever yet been devised by con-
structlye craftsmanship under the said
system which enabled the tax asses
sor TO effectively reach for purpose of
taxation money, credits, personal and
other intangible values. From l.. 7.

sold $4,000 crates of the fruit which
realized an average of ninety cents
per crate-American money. To
the growers the crates Melted thirty
cents each delivered to the packing
house at Bacum. Five hundred
crates of tomatoes per acre was the
average yield. The cost of produc-
ton was sixty dollars per acre,
which includes preparing the land,
irrigation, planting, transplanting,
cultivation, picking the fruit and
transportation to the packing
house, leaving to the grower a net
return of ninety dollars gold, per
acre.
