A HAPPY DRUMMER.

He Won the Applause of the Eccen-
trio Hans Won Bulow.
Hans Won Bulow, the famous leader
and composer, was one of the most &C.
centric members of a profession where
in eccentrtcity is common. 1t is re-
lated that one day, while walking the
streets of Vienna, Bulow came upon
regimental band on its way to the cas-
tie. Immediately he ran to the middle
Of the street and joined the small boys
about the drummer. Following tie
band, he kept bowling to the surprised
drummer, applauding him at almost
every beat.
''That is rhythm. Excellent That's
the way L like to hear it :" he contin-
ued to calculate, to the surprise of all
and to the great delight of the small
boys.
Persons in the street began to recog-
nize the famous pianist and joined the
procession, so that the band had one
of the largest audiences to which it had
ever played.
Bulow listened attentively to the end
of the last piece and then made deep
bow before the drummer and his in
Strument.
'Thank you," he said. "That was re-
freshing.' That puts my nerves in good
condition again."
1t is said that when the drummer
learned who his strange admirer was
he was the proudest man in the regi-
ment.-St. Louis Republic.

ONLY A WORKING GIRL.

She's only a working girl, busy each day
In gaining her portion of bread;
Her mother is old and infirm, so they say,
Her father, they tell me- is dead.
And there, at her window, see her en-
ployed-
| glance at her morning and night,
And think that without her the earth
would be void
OF much of its beauty and light.
She's only a working girl. seeking to send
brother through college, | hear;
May the angels her deeds of devotion
befriend
And crown her endeavor with cheer
More strength in her hands and more
warmth to her heart
May the clouds never darken her sum-
And duty and beauty, in loves magic art,
Forever be welded as one
She is only a working girl Chance has
deereed
She must dwell with the lowly of
earth;
And yet she is rarer in thought and in
deed
Than the queenlest princess of earth.
And l would she might know that her
beautiful life,
Though Swallowed with want and with
care,
Has been, in the midst of my toll and
my strife,
A hope and a song and a prayer.

TESTING HIS TONGUE.
The Unhappy Experience of a Young
Married Woman

The Unhappy Experience of a Young
Married Woman.
A young married woman in Brooklyn
suspected that her husband was indulg-
ing in wine. She determined, however,
to say nothing till she had confirmed
her suspicious. In conversation with
her bosom friend she said she would
give anything to discover the truth.
The friend mentioned that a man even
slightly intoxicated cannot pronounce
words of length. This gave the young
wife an idea, which she proceeded to
put into execution.
When the young women met again,
the suspicious wife announced that the
worst had been ascertained She burst
into tears and took from her hand bag
a paper, which she handed to her
friend.
Il gave him this" she sobbed.
The friend read from the list the fol-
lowing words: 'Philiprogenitiveness
disproportion pseudaesthesia,
phthisis, parachronism hypochondria-
sis. photochromy, syncategorematic."
And" added the unhappy wife, with
a fresh sob, ''the wretch missed nearly

Profit in Poultry.

One farmer down East, in order to
find out where the leaks and where the
gains were, kept an exact account with
every department of his farm. He dis
covered that he was losing money ON
his beef cattle, that hogs just paid for
themselves, that sheep were good il
his lambs came early, and that the
poultry made the largest per cent of
profit Of any feature Of his farm. The
result was that he quit fooling with
beef and hogs and put more money and
time into poultry. The increased pros
perty on that farm was so marked that
! he wrote out for publication his expe-
rience.
Because a hen is small and a steer
| is big is a child's reason for having
contempt for the former and respect
for the latter, says Farmers Voice.
One of the biggest money makers in
the world is the street car business,
which depends entirely upon its income
of 5-cent sales. A stick of chewing gum
costs but penny, yet just recently a
syndicate was organized with over ST.

Cattle short, Meat Up.

The report comes from Chicago that
dearth of shipments of the prime grade
OF cattle is responsible for the advance
ON meats, according to the packers.
They assert that competition for the
choice cuts is stronger now than before
the financial pinch. Beef, veal and
pork have been soaring upward In price
for week, but with dressed sheep"
quoted at ID cents a pound to the
wholesaler, chicken is cheaper than
lamb or mutton chops.
George Duddleston, veteran whole
sale dealer in the meat business in
Chicago since 1870, says this is the first
time sheep have been quoted at 13
cents. Dressed beef has advanced 81
hundred. The latest jump in lamb
and mutton was from to cents, and
pork was increased cents a pound.
Veal is the only meat that has not In
creased.

A Curious Grace.

The NEST curious form, or, rather,
expression, of grace after meat which I
have ever come across was that CUSTOM

consisted of two distinct bodies. the
principal and rules and the Kentish
mess, each body having its own table.
At the conclusion of the dinner the
chairman of the Kentish mess. first
bowling to the principal of the inn. took
from the hands of the servitor some
small rolls or loaves of>bread and, with
out saying word, dashed them Sew

they were taken away. Solemn silence

verbal grace.-Cor. London Chronicle.

Farm PrOfessiOn.

1t is well in the higher education

drink at the fountain of common knowl-
edge. 1t is only after acquiring an
education that tue mind Is broadened
to choose a profession adapted to it's
innate taste and qualifications it
were better that the young man make
a good lawyer or pharmacist than an
Indifferent farmer. The professions
need to be recuperated from the
sources of natural supply, which EN-
brace natural qualifications inherited
from national character. The fact
that a boy is born on the farm does
not necessarily destine him for an agri-
culturist, and education will bring out
his latent talents and reveal to him

adapted.

stinct of farmer and find his great

his natural inclination and achieve the
destiny for which he is qualified by
nature.
