WHAT IS CHANGE
 FOR JOB WORTH?
Is the Question That Must Be Settled By Jury In
 the Circuit Court.

Little Rock, July 22. What is the chance to get job worth, is the question a jury must settle in the circuit court. J. II. Weare, skilled mill workman, filed q suit in the circuit court yesterday afternoon against the Postal Telegraph Co. for $l. .OO0, claiming it was worth that amount to him. Weare alleges he advertised in a trade paper for a job and that the advertise ment was answered by telegraph from Garyville, La.. July 8, the wires of the Postal company be- ing used to transmit the mes sage. He claims the boy who undertook to deliver the mes- sage went to 1920 w. End street, and was there informed that Weare had moved to 8O6 Wolf street, when the boy said, he would be damned if he went any further to chase that man," and took the message back to the office. By chance, Weare claims he heard of the fate of the mes- sage July 15 and telegraphed to find out the chance of still secur- ing the job, to be told it was fill ed the day before. He now asks for $1, 900 damages for not get ting the job.

Man Having Appearance of Laborer Spreads Bogus
 Checks in the City.

Little Rock, July 22. Last Saturday night a young man. dressed in working mems clothes succeeded in passing number of checks on business men of the city, just how many is not yet known, as new check comes to light every day. Each check was for eighteen dollars, drawn Tn favor of Fred Forbes and sig ned by Stanton < Callomore by V E. D. Seven checks appear ed up to yesterday at noon, and late in the evening Al Pollock, the Main St. shoe dealer, confess he he had been caught also. The young man easily passed himself off as wage earner, and the check to be his weekly earnings. The checks contained a serial number, which aided in fooling the merchants. Stanton X Cal lomare are large contractors and the young man represented that the check was given by a fore man. The police have no clew as to tho identity of the young man, and they think he left the city Saturday night after get ting the money on a number of checks. All the checks were made payable at the Bank of w. B. Werthen X Co.

think this is strange statement, but
it is So. A girl will 60 on the

but if a boy finds out that the girl

Dairying.

M. c. Stubblefield, w. F. Ow-
en-, O. L. McGilvra and G.. E.
Martin are all engaged in dairy
ing in connection with other work
and have succeeded we'll.
Few people in Brandon realize
the volume of business done. An
average Of two hundred pounds
of butter is shipped each week to
Jackson and nets about % cents
per pound.
One dairy of 20 COWS, grades
and common stock, ships about
80 pounds per week. The cost
of feed during the summer is ID
of the net returns of the butter
in the winter about half of the
butter receipts goes for feed.
The skim milk is worth for hog
feed from SIS 90 to $500 a week.
The droppings are worth $500 90
per year as fertilizers, as there
is none better or more lasting
than droppings from cattle fed
on cotton seed meal or hulls. One
of the dairymen has this year
six acres in cotton which will
easily make a bale to the acre
and two years ago that land was
SO poor that the six acres would
not have produced a 500 weight
bale The parties all use seper-
ators, look carefully after the
feeding and milking, and send
their butter to market in nicely
nodded, l pound packages neatly
wrapped in butter paper, as fine
a color and as rich a flavor as
any from Elgin, or the famed
Goshen Valley of New York.
The one thing essential to sue
cess in dairying in this section is
regularity in feeding and milk
ing. The markets are near and
cannot well be over stocked with
the right kind of butter and sue
cess is certain if the owner gives
it the proper attention. If you
want to engage in dairying there
lis no better place than Brandon
to do so. Land is cheap here.

A Civil War Episode.

A writer in the Tyler-Keystone
gives the following interesting Incl
dent of the Civil War:
After the battle of Gettysburg
the writer was among the boys in
blue who followed Lees army on
its retreat to the Potomac. At Hag-
erstown, Nd, we were halted for
two days and were encamped about
three miles north of the town. The
rear guard of the Confederate army
at the same time, was in camp
about the same distance south of
the city. Some of our men went
into Hagerstown one afternoon and
upon their return to camp, inform
ed US that the Masonic lodge was
to hold its teguar meeting there
that evening. A number of Masons
among us went in to visit the lodge,
and, when they entered the room,
discovered that the Confederates
had also received information of the
meeting and were present, in num-
Der as great as our own, and an in
veStigation showed that there was
a Mason in the lodgeroom from
every state, in or out of the union.
The blue and the grey had met
freely under the sheltering aegis of
Masonry where all brothers who
met upon the level to part upon
the square, when the lodge closed,
aud they went forth again to take
up arms in the cause of their res
pective sections.

BUSHELS 10 THE leRE.
HE REALIZED $1s PER ACRE FROM
IT, WHILE OATS GAVE HIM
$f7 AN ACRE.

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18th, 1901.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche
wan, Mr.. S. X. Rathwall says:
Il have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year had soc
acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats.
My wheat averaged about % bushels
per acre, and l had 200 acres cut be.
fore the frost, which sold at IS
cents per bushel, thus realizing On
that wheat $500 per acre, not count
ing cost of Irvine, seed AND labor. With
regard to the other 300 acres of wheat,
it got touched with frost but is worth
60 cents per bushel. 1t will net me
$1,000 per acre, but l do not intend
to sell it at that price, as can make
more money by feeding it to hogs.
My oats turned out about 50bushels
to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel
will give me $17.00 to the acre, not
counting seed. Irvine and labor.
"On account of the late spring. Z
percentage OF the grain was touched
with frost, but on account of good
prices, farmers will realize a fair
profit on their farms even this year.
We are as usual up against short.
age of cars to get our grain removed"

CRUDE DENTISTRY IN CHINA.
How Native Doctors Up Teeth in
That Country.

How crude is the dentistry of the
humber inhabitants of modern China
is disclosed by Rev. John MACEDONIAN
in the following bit of description
published in the North China Daily
News. Right in front of us on the
street doctors table is u small heap of
teeth, not manufactured by any cum
ming workman, but by the subtle
alchemy of nature. They are of all
sizes and conditions. There are huge
molars that have done yoeman service
in the past and even teeth strong and
determined looking and worn, as
though they had failed in the battle
of life, and had come here to end
their days. They were all marked
and discolored with the signs and
symbols of the wear and tear they had
gone through. They were grewsome
sight to look upon and 1 wondered
much how such a curious collection
could have been gathered together.
Where did you get these from?' I
asked the doctor, pointing to the heap,
which, however, was careful not to
touch.
"'Oh! l bought them,' he replied.
When man has to part with a tooth,
he continued, he does not throw it
away. He brings it to me and buy it
for a few cash, fer he knows that in
my profession it will come in handy
some time or other Just as he was
speaking a patient came up to him,
On being asked what he wanted he
replied simply by opening his mouth
to the very widest extent. 1t was a
huge cavern and reminded one of the
entrance to the Thames tunnel 1t
was seen that his four upper front
teeth were wanting, having been
knocked out by fall from wall,
and he was anxious to know if the
doctor could supply their place with
new ones.
"'Of course l can,' he promptly re
piled. and measuring the cavity in the
jaw, he carefully and with practiced
eye selected from the heap the four
teeth that would exactly fill it, He
then drilled hole in them longitudin.
ally and inserted bit of coarse iron
wire to bind them to each other. The
ends of the wire were next inserted in
holes that were carefully drilled into
the teeth on each side of the cavity
and at once the chasm disappeared
and the crowd that had been looking
on with critical eyes declared that
his mouth looked as natural as though
the new ones were those with which
nature had originally supplied him"

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence Of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with 1.-THE
Dutch Boy Painter") there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable of alb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send a testing outfit free to
any one interested.

And they alighted in front of the
