a horrible suspicion crossed the
warder's mind. Might not this limo

bomb? Was Schneider a Nihilist
needless of himself in a desire for
vengeance? Taking the knife from his

began to cut away the icing at one

The thing was not a bomb. 1t was

Injurious to Each Other.

II Is a matter OF common observation
that grass does not grow so well close
70 trees as in the open The same is
true Of grains. Experiments in Eng
land and in this country have shown
that the deIeterious effects of the near
neighborhood of grass and trees are
mutual The trees suffer as well as
the grass and grain. This is especially
true Of fruit trees. The cause Is as
eribed to the excretion By the trees,
on the one hand, Of substances poison
Gus to the grass, and by the grass, on
the other hand, of substances poison
Gus TO the trees. II thus appears that
the failure of grass to grow well near
trees should not be aseribed to too
much shade. but to the exhaustion by
the tree roots of the full supply
needed by the grass.

Olive Oil and Ionaexitx.

Men have wondered at the great
age of men attained in Biblical timea
An age Of 120 years was not at all
unusual in those days for men to at
tain in full possession Of their facul-
ties before they were gathered unto
their fathers. There is a cause for
everything, and is it unreasonable to
attribute this long life, in part, at
least, to the fact that ali these men,
perhaps daily, freely used olive OIL!
They lived in the land of the olive

Why HE WAS ANGRY
HAPPENING THAT SPOILED Mr.
JONES' ENJOYMENT.
Wifey's Little Mistake In Poker Game
Enriched Visitor, But Host Said
Nothing, at Least Not
Just Then.

The Joneses. Mr.. and Mrs, went
over to spend the evening with the
Colts the other evening, because peo-
pie get tired of staying at home all the
time and Just listening to each others
palaveT.
BY and by Mr. Goitt suggested that
they all draw up around Mrs. Goitt's
little sewing table and have a nice
friendly game of poker for an hour
or so.
Everybody wanted to show that he
or she was sure enough sport, all
rightski-and then one always has an
idea at the beginning of poker game
that just as like as not he can make
the evening profitable as well as mere
ly pleasant.
Mrs. Goitt and Mrs. Jones were
about even in their working knowl-
edge of the great national game, and
the men folks therefore backed them
up cheerfully. assuming that they
would break about even.
After a half hour or so of play the
visitors took the lead, as the sport
ing editor might say. 1t was only
penny ante, five-cent limit game, but
then people have been known to clean
up a first-rate little bunch of pin
money in even such a juvenile game
as that and Jones already had his
chips stacked up into four cute little
cylinders in front of him. Mrs. Jones
would reach over and borrow ten
chips or so now and again, and a
momentary frown would fit over her
husbands brow, but he didn't say any
thing.
By and by Jones took notice Of the
fact that Mrs. Jones was reaching
over into his sub-treasury vaults and
picking up chips half stack at time
and putting them into the pot as fast
as she could meet MIR. Goitt's bets and
raise him back again.
Mr.. Jones looked at her when ne
saw his hoard Of chips disappearing, in
way that inquired plainly: Are you
sure you've got 1t on him?"
Got a straight" whispered Mrs.
Jones when she found opportunity to
whisper without being observed. and
Jones gave her a look that said. go
as far as you like" for straights had
been pretty good that evening, and
the pot, after the way it had been
sweetened, looked worth while.
Finally Mr. Goitt called her. "All
I've got is three ladies'" he said In a
tone of polite inquiry, laying down his
| hand
We'll, l have straight" gurgIed
Mrs. Jones. "See-queen, king, ace,
deuce, tray!"
Mr.. Jones gave her look that told
her something was amiss before any
body had time to say word.
why, the ace comes after the king,
doesn't it?" she inquired. "And
doesn't the two-spot come after the
ace, and the three.spot after the two
spot? I'd just like to know why that
isn't straight"
Mr.. Jones watched Mr.. Goitt rake In
the pot and didn't say anything-not
just then.

The Country Editor.

If conscientious effort and merit
mean anything, there is no good rea-
son why the country editor should
not expect to wear golden crown
and a diamond-studded harp in the
good world to come. His sphere is
surely one in which his usefulness is
limited only by his ability to work.
1t may be a debatable question wheth-
er the average editor of a small town
paper does more for the town than
the town does for the editor. It may
be true that one Of the greatest sins
that can be laid at his door is that of
poverty-not poverty of brain but of
pocket. He may labor for the enlight.
enment of an unappreciative people,
but is there not compensation in
knowing that a duty is faithfully per.
formed? His efforts to boom the town
may not always meet with an encour-
aging response in the way of good
advertising patronage from the local
business interests. His work of
showing up his town as live and
progressive place sometimes falls fiat
because of lack of good snappy ad-
vertising of the stores. There are few
things that are a better criterion Of
the life of place than the advertising
pages of the local paper. By it a
stranger is impressed either favorably
or otherwise. If the paper is bright,
newsy, we'll filled with advertising,
there are in it indications that the town
is progressive, the merchants prosper.
GUS, and that the people are of the
class that make excellent neighbors.
On the other hand, if there are only a
few lines of local news, half dozen
small cards and announcements, and a
few large advertisements of depart
ment stores and mail order houses in
other cities, the impression is given
to the reader that the town is a good
place to steer clear Of, and not the
kind of place where one would care
to build home. d. M. CARR.

Trade at Home,

Patronage of the big mail order
houses is founded largely on ignorance
and shortsightedness. In one way it
is akin to patronage of the get-rich
quick schemes. The buyer believes he
is getting something for his money
that is really not given, and fails to
realize either where his money goes or
what he gets for it.
No one would think of telephoning
to a furniture store and asking the
dealer to send up dozen diningroom
chairs without having seen the goods
or of ordering dress or pair of
shoes, or a stove, in this way. Yet
that Is practically what the patron of
the mail order house does. He orders
by mail without having seen the goods
or having any idea of their appear
ance or character. He is taking long
chance. Two things on which he has
to base his conception Of the articles
ordered is a description in the cata-
logue and the cut given there. In 9TH
er words, the attractiveness of the
offer made depends on the promises Of
the firm and the engraver's art. It Is
possible to make a very creditable
cut from a fiimsy and worthless mod
ell. 1t is possible to describe an atroc.
ity in way that makes it appear most
desirable. incidentally it seems to be
always possible to find some one who
will accept the promise and cut at
their face value, without properly
discounting them, and on the credi.
bility of these people, the mail order
business thrives. A little investigation
and comparison will convince the av-
erage person that his money will go
further and yield greater returns If in.

EVIL IN LITTLE JEALouslEs.
snobbishness on Part Of MerchantS'
Wives Sometimes Injuries Trade.

Since the time of Eve woman has
been accredited with being a Jealous
creature, and in history are recorded
numerous cases where this element
has had its influence in building up
and tearing down nations. In the av-
evils noticed, is that often merchants
wives do not consider the wives of the
farmers their equals socially or other
wise. One woman in town can cast
the stigma Of snobbishness upon quite
few others who are known as her
associates, and sometimes to the det-
riment of the place. It may be that
wives of merchants dress better than
do the wives and daughters Of farm
ers. Possibly the children of the town
tradesman may wear better clothes.
Envy is a knife that cuts deep, and
perhaps without apparent reason
some woman concludes that the wife
of a certain merchant THINKS herself
better than the wives of tie people
who give her husband a means of liv-

household who have the gredtest IN
fuence in the matter of buying. A
word from the wife will often turn
trade from the usual channel, and
this word may be caused by the atti-
tude of the merchants wife who,
through some neglect or discomtesy,
unfavorably impresses the wife of the
farmer. There is nothing like a
friendly feeling as a trade stimulator.
If the wife of the merchant would
only cultivate more closely the ac-
quaintance and the friendship of the
women residing in the farming dis
tricts which give the town support,
it would work wonders in the way Of
bringing additional trade to the town.
Snobbishness never pays. The sturdy
women who reside on farms are quite
often the superiors of those who reside
in the towns and are perhaps the
wives of the merchants. The boys
and girls reared on the farm average
we'll with those Of the towns. These
facts should be realized. Petty ieal-
ousies should be done away with
when they exist between the people
who reside in the towns and those
who reside in the country. 1t is best
