Rural canniness.

Once a denizen of the upstate re
gions, where whiskers grow in plenty
and umbrellas bulge at will. decided
to visit New York. But he decided to
visit the bewildering metropolis quite
as a man of the world-not to be
taken in by the wicked men who. as
he understood, made a business OF de-
ceiving the guileless up-stater
Hence he arrived at the Grand Cen
trail looking very. very wise, and pro
ceeded. first Of all, to visit the collec-
ton of wax figures at the Eden Mu-
see.
He was engaged Unlocking critically
at one Of the most lifelike groups on
exhibition there. when a policeman
suddenly plucked him by the sleeve.
The up-stater turned
you mustn't smoke in here" said
the policeman, severely.
A look of wisdom beyond the pow
er Of words to describe came over that
up-stater's face. Continuing brazenly
to smoke, he remarked:
Tut, tut Go away. Don't you
think know that you're made Of
wax?"

LOOKED FAR WITH KEEN SIGHT
Illustrations Of Thoroughness Of Frank
Inns Thrift and Ability.

Two incidents recall the keenness
and the thoroughness-the great twin
abilities, to see and to utilize-of Ben
jamin Franklin.
One day he chanced to observe a
lady in the possession of an imported
whisk broom With his usual interest
and careful consideration he examined
it as a novelty. He discovered on the
brush Of the broom seed. which he
carefully removed. Presently he
planted it. and the growth from this
seed was the first crop OF broom corn
in this country.
Again, one day when DR.. Franklin
was walking by Dock creek he saw
stuck in the mud wickerwork basket,
which had sprouted. Carefully he
fished out the basket, and carefully
took it apart He gave cuttings to his
friend, Mr. Charles Norris, who plant
ed the twigs in his garden, where they
grew to great size They turned out to
be yellow willows, and, as Franklin
had foreseen, proved Of great CONNER
cial value.

This has been called the century OF
the rising generation, and doubtless
many Of the privileges of children over
their parents would shock Solomon
could he revisit the earth. But with
all its tolerance in this direction it is
amazing to read Of the suit Of school
boy in London against his mother,
whom he had summoned to a magis-
trate's court for assault for kissing
him. She performed this apparently
harmless osculatory act in the play
ground Of his school before his mates,
and so probably hurt the youngsters
feelings. The mitigating feature in
the matter was the Solomonic magis-
trate who dismissed such a ridiculous
case. But that 1t could ever have
reached a civilized court is the signlf-
cantly typical aspect

Protecting African Natives.

Germany has colony with an area
Of more than 100000 square miles in
southwest Africa, where the mission
aries Of the Rhenish and Finnish mis-
sionary societies are at work. On
September le, 1907, the governor Of
the colony issued an important decree
concerning the import and sale Of
spirituous liquors. The measure pro
yided that saloon keepers and other
dealers In liquor must secure a spe-
cial license. which costs between $50
and 1880 II is forbidden to give or
sell EpiIituoUs liquors to any native,
though house servants are permitted
to receive small quantities from their
masters, though not in place OF wages.
If servants become intoxicated
through liquor given by an employer,
the latter must pay a fine or go to
jail. If the offense is repeated, the
punishment becomes severe. Con
trayentions by licensed persons are
punished still more severely.

Prices of Stocks Are Restricted by

New York, Feb. 1.-The profes.

! stock market restricted the swing
of prices to comparatively a narrow
range. The difficulty of carrying an
advance further was becoming mani
| fest before operations were conclud-
ed yesterday and the reaction ma
tural under the circumstances fol-
lowed today. These trivial nuctua-
tons do not represent any sgnifi-

The offering down Of prices by
bear operators does not appear to
lislodge any considerable amount Of
liquidation and bears find them
selves obliged to buy in stocks TO
cover The bidding up of prices, on
the other hand, attracts no notable
following. The condition underlying
the market is clearly one of neglect
and of waiting for a clearer light on
the situation. Call loans did not
fall below 2 per cent today AMI tire
maximum rose to 3, which makes a
record for the new year. The re-
neWed call of the secretary Of the
