THE RULING PASSION STRONG.
Elderly Lady Harkea Back to Time
When Pattern of Her Stockings
Meant Much.

To have been a soubrette all ones
life and then to grow old! Why
should one be expected to change?
Why should not the habits of thought
of years reach on into the seventies?
The tale is told of that dear lady who
40 years ago sent the blood dancing
in the veins of her generation with
"tassels on her boots and the Tilt OF
kindred ditties Her daughter, in con-
slant fear of pneumonia for the frail,
tiny old lady, urged upon her the
wearing of wooden stockings. She
sweetly but firmly declined consider
ing the ugly things, and. needing a
new supply, laid the case before her
son. He saw the point at once and
bought her box of the sheerest.
daintiest, most open-work affairs the
market afforded. To the surprise Of
all. she never wore them. Throughout
the winter and far into the spring she
spoke no more Of stockings, but meek
ly wore the ugly wooden ones of her
daughters choice At last one day her
son asked her why Where" he
queried, ARE those pretty things I
bought you?" oh, my dear boy" she
exclaimed. ''it was kind and thought
full and sweet of you to buy them for
me. and. of course, you couldn't pos
sibly know. but the patterns are so
unbecoming I can't wear them

Winning Commitment.

The beautiful girl shook her head IN

No. said she. after a moments
elaboration q can never-ne, never
be your wife But III tell you what
will do. Just to show you that
there is no hard feeling on my part,
I will be present when you marry
some other girl and lombard you with
my shoes for luck"
All, here was an opportunity. Quick
as a flash the young man responded:
please don't. If you must throw
old shoes, borrow them"
"And why not use my OWN"
Because they are so small We
could never detect them from the
rice"
Flattery won The beautiful girl
decided then and there that the young
man was altogether too clever for any
other girl, so she reversed her deci-
sion and the cards are out

system That Worked Well.

A man walked into railroad Office
and addressed the chief clerk, who
was his friend, and asked him II he
could recommend a good filing system.
The chief clerk explained the system
he was using, and his friend left, say
ing he would install the same kind In
his office.
About two weeks later the chief
clerk met his friend
We'll, how is your filing system?"
"Oh, it works fine!'
How is business?"
Not much You see, it is this way:
We have to spend so much time work

No Old Maids.

WED have no old maids II we took
a lesson from the ancient Babyloni-
ans" a spinster said. In Babylon IN
married women were graded by the
state according to their looks. For a
beautiful young wife the state de-
manded a large number of gold
pieces; a less desirable wife cost a
smaller number of gold pieces, and
this money was all paid out again as
rewards to those who married elderly.
unattractive girls. Thus it cost a for
tune to marry beauty, but if you mar
ried ugliness a fortune came to you.
Hence all was happiness in Babylon.

Georgian Tells OklahOmans
How They Solved Problem

shawnee, OKLA, Aug 24--How Geor-
g,a farmers worked out the problem
of cheaper materials and relieved
themselves OF combinations made for
the express purpose of keeping up
nrlees OF commodities was told the
oklahoma Farmers Union by ex-Pres-
ident Duckworth OF Union City Ca,
who visited this organization as a
fraternal delegate and as the per.
sonal representative of President Bar.
rett, The Farmers Union of Georgia
mas a Farmers Union town. The pre-.
yailing high prices for materials
which the farmers of that section were
compelled TO pay let to the establish
ment Of cooperative factories and the
building of Union City, seventeen
miles from Atlanta. Two years ago
the spot was cotton patch. 1t now
is factory center with about 400 po-
ulation. An electric line will soon
connect the place with the conyen-
ufences of Atlanta and there is in con-
temptation a system of municipal inn
provements.
Implements were high in price, so a
factory to maze them was established
with 100000 capital The farmers
needed phosphate, or fertilizer, and
that cost considerable, but the union
started cooperative phosphate plant
with 100000 capital. Harness stood
in about the same relation to the farm
er as did the other two commodities,
so another 100000 concern was start
ned to sell harness at seasonable fig
We and profit The fourth institution
: bun brick plant that cost $4,000
Predictions were made that the ven.
Atures were fuh Of moonshine, as Mr..
Duckworth explained, and would not
pan out. The new village had one rail
road then, II now has three with the
same shipping facilities and rates that
are given TO Atlanta.
Results OF the ventures, according
TO ex-President Duckworth, did not
prove them failures. The fertilizer
factory reduced the price Of that com
modify from $5 to So per ton, last year
saving Georgia farmers $2,0O0,00O and
this year wal save them 100000.
The implement factory cut the price
10 per cent which meant another $780,
600 to the farmer. The harness shop
has done well, and the bun brick
s.plant is making the union money. All
he products have general sale
throughout the southern states.
