TOO STRONG A BLUFF.
The Boy Meant Well, but Carried His
Instructions Too Far.


Instructions Too Far.
The proprietor of one of New York s
fashionable hotels was talking about
the crush that restaurants experience
on New Years eve, Washington's
birthday and other holidays. But /
must not boast" said he. TT Is bad
luck. A grocer in my boyhood told
me that. The grocer said that he had
once engaged a new boy and had ex-
horted this boy always to give custom
ers the impression that they were very
busy.
Whether we are actually busy or
not, say we are busy the grocer said.
Tell people we are, for they like to
deal with brisk, go ahead firms that
do large trade
"Well, an hour or so later a brough-
am drove up, and the rich judges wife
entered. She did not stay long. The
boy looked after her. And on her de-
parture the grocer said to the boy:
Ibid Mrs. Judge Brown leave a
very large order, JamesY
"'She was goin' to- said the boy.
She had list as long as yer arm.
But looked mad and told her we was
so busy l hardly seed how I could
stop to tend to her, so she said, bein'
as she was in hurry, she'd just go
next door, "-Exchange.

Fishing With Forty Foot Rods.

In sea fishing at Biarritz, France,
some remarkably long and heavy rods
are employed. We think twenty foot
salmon rod or roach pole is a pretty
good length, but our friends at Biarritz
use rods over forty feet in length. In
fishing from the walk at the Lighthouse
the rods are balanced on the railing by
means Of wood rest fitting the iron
bars. A line about the length Of the
rod is used, three or four hooks and q
light sinker. At La Pointe Plate rods
Of lesser length and weight are used,
but even these are not featherweights
by any means. Reels, according to
Vicomte Henri de France, are known
to these sea anglers, but are seldom
used.-London Fishing Gazette.

GETTING at the Truth.

At twenty-three he thought fate was
making special effort to keep him
down.
At thirty-five he thought he might
have done great things If his wife had
not been such handicap.
At forty he believed he would have
been a great man If his children had
not made it necessary for him to cling
to the sure things.
At fifty he was positive that there
was a conspiracy against him on the
part Of his fellow men.
At sixty he felt that If he could have
been thirty-five again nothing could
have stopped him.
At seventy he began to believe that
he had failed because Of lack of
courage and inability to make the most
Of his opportunities.

Year and Owns Its GristmiIl.
We learn through the Maine Farmer
the following particulars relative to co.
operation In Houlton grange and why
cooperation Is successful. The writer
says:
"The first important thing is to Sc
lect the right man to conduct the bust
ness-a man who is honest, efficient
and who has q good business tact.
The next thing is to have the Patrons
loyal to the grange store, and If some
goods should be bought when they
were high in price and then before
they were sold should fall In price and
the store in the city that bought on the
low market could undersell the grange
the Patrons would need to buy of the
grange store even II they did pay a
little more on these goods.
"Our plan is to put per cent above
the total cost! All goods, excepting
flour, sugar and grass seed, are sold at
per cent above cost; grass seed
per cent which pays for the extra help
to handle 1t just for short time in
the spring. Flour and sugar we ham
die at cost, with no per cent added.
when we commenced business we
had only $136 as capital and did a $10,.
600 business on that amount. Last
year we did business Of $4,000 and
added to our capital over $4,000. We
have a good gristmill run by electricity.
"Our store and insurance company
is a great saving to the farmers Of
the county. There are now quite a
number Of grange stores in the county.
Patten grange is about ready to start
one. They will issue grange notes at
per cent interest and they will be
taken by the members of the grange"

a good story in illustration Of the care
that should be used. A customer had
bought an authentic picture by an old
master In an excellent state of preser-

taking it with him. The dealer, on the
other hand, insisted strongly on send
ing it home by one of his employees.

the shopman.
But the customer had his way. When
De reached home, he undid his pur-
chase and discovered that a copy OF
the original canvas had been nailed
behind the genuine picture, so that If
the customer had placed his signature
on the back Of the picture he would
have written it on the copy. The deal
er would have maintained that that

the original would have remained in
the possession of the dealer. - Argo-

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-It begins
to look more and more as If Rich
ard LIE Gallienne-"Dicky," Ebert
Hubbard and the elect at East Au
rora call him-may have started
something he can't finish.
Dicky, poet, criticised some
what severely poem written re
Gently by William Watson, the
British poet who narrowly escaped
being made poet laureate after he
had written an ode to Lord Tenny
son in 1892.
The Britisher replied to Dicky
Dicky got rid of some more un
feeling conversation, and Watson
announced that he is coming tC
America. One of these days some
body will drag Dicky out of his
hiding place in the potato bin and
drop him in the squared circle
and what started out to be bat
tie of salons will end by breaking
into the sporting page.
It's going to be a real dool with
four-ounce gloves.
How 1t Started.
It started with Watson's poem
THE Woman With the Serpent's
Tongue" describing an unnamed
woman in numbers that make hel
out as scarcely polite enough to gel
a job Williamsburg at the Seattle
theater.
When Dicky La Gallienne heard
about it he quit work on the East
Aurora wood pile, retired to his
chamber and arranged his thoughts
in poetical order. When he came
out he had all written and ready
to put in the paper piece (poet
icaD entitled "The Poet With the
Coward's Tongue"
1t was a parody, also a scream
and an editor paid Dicky goot
money for it. When Watson read

of waves and streaks.
IS A fireplace of ordinary brick,
conventional design.
. 1t can readily be seen that the
idea of these things was to save
money. We wanted to save money,
all right, but We began to realize
then that to save money is one
thing and to build the kind of
home you want is another.
We wanted hardwood floors, not
pine. We wanted oakwoodwork in
the principal rooms, not pine with
knot holes in it. We wanted a
basement and an attic, and some
way of heating the house, and some
plate glass in the windows that
would show from the street.
So we took the matter before the
building superintendent of the real
estate firm that was willing to sell
us our corner lot. Let us suppose
that his name is Carter.
This Is for your personal guild
ance: When you build, pick your
contractor or building superintend-
ent with care. If you find a man
who is patient with you through all
your vagaries, and who anticipates
your wishes, and thinks of things
you forget, and cuts needless cor
ners of expense, think yourself
lucky. We found such man.
We showed the plans to Carter.
Can we have all the things we
want and stay anywhere near
$2100?" l asked him.
Carter Is careful. He volunteer
ed to take the plans home and
think about 1t over night. Next
day he said:
"You can't build that house for
$4,000. 1t would cost nearer $4,000.
It's too much house to build for
anything less. 1t covers 32x50 feet.
You would need $4,000 shingles for
the side walls, to say nothing of the
roof. That's Just an example"
This was cheering news, indeed.
l felt that it would be a real pleas
ure to sue the Ladies' Boon Com
panion for bunko steering or trying
to obtain money under false pre-
lenses.
isn't there some way I asked
Carter. that you can eliminate
something or change something SO
you can cut down the COST"
r 'I'll try" he volunteered, hope
fully. But you'll find that it's
cheaper to build two-story house
of moderate size than to build a
bungalow"
He showed me plans for a two
story cottage. took them home
and showed them to my wife. We
fept right on wanting the bungalow
With the window seats and the out
side stone chimney, and the low,
broad roof.
What if we could build the two
story cottage for $4,000? When you
want pie, you want PIE, not cake.
= So when Carter figured out how
Ne could cut off every item of I'M
necessary expense and still give us
hardwood floors and oak woodwork
and James Dandy fireplace of
rough stone with real arch shape,
and other things we wanted. we
decided to go it, come what would.
We took the corner lot, paid $50
to clinch the deal. and said, You
may fire when you are ready, Car
ter"
Ever get any easy money from a
lottery or anything like that?
Well, that's how fine you feel
when you say the word, and then
stand around and watch things
happen on your lot, with men dig
ging dirt, and hauling lumber, and
so on. Try it and see.
