Nor WITHOUT HoPE.-A Richmond
man, whose business frequently takes
him to the wilds of West Virginia, tells
an incident illustrating an interesting
phase of the mountaineer character in
that section.
1t seems that the Richmond man was
desirous of employing for work in the
region referred to a certain Hank Wa
ters, and so had asked number of
mountaineers questions as to his char
acter, fitness for the work, etc.
He's pretty we'll and favorably
known in this locality, isn't he?" ask
ed the Richmond man Of one old fell
low never out Of the mountains in all
his life.
well, mebbe he amt so we'll known
as lots O. Others" replied the old chap,
in an apologetic tone. He amt killed
nobody yit that I knows Of; but" he
added gravely, Hank Waters is mighty
romisin'."-Harper's Weekly.

SHERMAN's SARcAsM-At the head OF
the mall and at the foot of Capitol Hill,
one of the handsomest and most cost
ly monuments in Washington is being
erected in memory Of President U. s.
Grant. The work covers a compare
lively large piece Of ground and is
progressing rapidly.
At either corner of the base Of the
big monument there will be mammoth
brass lion. These were in place last
week, and their presence attracted the
attention Of Congressman Humphries
as the car carrying Mr.. Sherman and
others turned slowly around the curve.
Fine lions," said Mr.. Humphries,
"and very appropriate, too. The peo-
pie will think they were captured by
President Roosevelt"
TOO small, too small for that" was
Mr.. Sherman's comment with fine sar-
casm directed at the presidents Prov

DIsRAEL1's JoKEs.-Disraeli dearly
loved a joke at the expense OF others
An author who had sent his latest ef-
fort in fiction to him received the fol-
lowing complimentary acknowledg-
ment:
81 thank you for the book you sent
me and will lose no time in reading 1t.
"I wonder what makes my eyes so
weak" fierce Radical once said to
Disraeli.
TT is because they are in weak
place." was the reply.
An incident in the life of the late
Lord Rosslyn shows how acute was
the sense of humor in Disraeh. What
can we do with Rossyln?" he asked OF
a colleague.
Make him master Of the buck
hounds, as his father was" suggested
the latter.

swears far too much for that. We Will
make him high commissioner to the
Church Of Scotland" And such he was
made.-Chambers Journal.

OUR POLITE CONGRESSMAN. - The
Hon. Cy Sulloway of New Hampshire,
brother to the mountains, is rated as
the biggest man in the house. The
Hon. Charles Blakesice Law Of New
York makes a strong showing for the
distinction of being the smallest. They
were seen together in the street, ac-
cording to a current story.
There go the two politest men in
congress-" said an officer of the house,
"How's that?"
Because they're both polite clear to
the limit. The other day they were
riding together on a street car and a
lady came in. Law gave her his seat.
At the next corner two ladies got in,
and Sulloway got up and gave them
both seats. Each did all he could

SECOND THoUeHT.-A well-known
Brooklyn physician was examining a
class of nurses who had served their
appointed time in the hospital. the
candidates filed past him, and to each
he addressed a question calculated to
show the nurses efficiency. In one OF
the questions he described the condi-
ton Of a patient and asked the nurse
how much morphine in her opinion
should be administered to the sufferer.
Eight grains" promptly replied the
nurse.
The doctor made no comment, and
she passed on. When her turn came
again she appeared greatly confused
and said to the examiner: Doctor, /
wish to correct the answer I made last
time. / meant to say that one-eighth
of a grain should be given to the pa
patient"
TOO late" remarked DR.. Matherson,

HOW TO REGULATE PRICES.
The Farmer Who Makes His Own

Pendleton, February 15.-Now is
the time to regulate prices; not when
the crop is made. September, 1903,
Is too late to begin fixing on setting
prices.
What is the remedy for low prices
on cotton? Three things are essen
tial to do. Organize into the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative
Union of America and live up to its
declaration Of purposes, and diversi-
fly your crops so as to make home
self-supporting. Now, let us look at di-
versified farming and see If 1t will pay
us to do it. If it will pay us as farm
ers, let US adopt 1t into our system at
once. Many farmers think diversifi-
cation means trucking. Such farmers
have a wrong conception Of 1t. Well,
what does it mean? 1t means this
kind Of farming: First, make ample
provision to plant plenty Of wheat. In
all parts Of the south where 1t can be
grown successfully and profitably, we
should supply all home needs and
have a few barrels Of -four to sell. In
the portions Of the south where wheat
does not do we'll oats will grow fine.
In that section sow oats and supply
your home markets for seed and feed.
It has been demonstrated recently that
in all portions Of the south on our
uplands that there has been grown
from so to 100 bushels Of corn to the
acre. It has also been demonstrated
that in any section Of the south pork
can be raised cheaper than in the
western states. We can also raise
horses and mules as cheap here.
Dairying can be made as profitable
here in the south as in any country,
so, with these facts before us, where
does the trouble lie? With the south
ern farmer himself. Who is to blame
for cotton selling for 81 cents when
it ought to be selling for 1S cents? No
one is to blame but the man who pro-
duces H. On the other hand, If the
farmers of the south had been diver
styling their crops for the last ten
years, they could have been very
rich people. The above system 1 call
diversified agriculture, which means
success for the southern farmer. Now
let us see where our money goes and
for what things we send it west. 1
have, as carefully as 1 could, gotten
up the amount Of money that South
Carolina is spending for products
that she ought to raise. Many Of her
sons will be surprised to find that her
cotton crop will not pay the debt, so,
Brother Farmers, consider what you
are doing and where you are. Below
you will find what South Carolina is
spending annually, and it is appalling:

AMPLE RELIEF.-When Christian
Science began to find firm footing in
Winchester, the little son of prom
inent woman, who had embraced the
faith and was urging others to take
it up, was out Of school one day or
two because Of sickness. When the
youngster returned his teacher, who
was we'll along in years and possessed
an inquiring mind, engaged the young
ster in conversation.
Been sick, Joe?"
"Yes'm."
Sick enough to be in bed?"
"Yes'm."
What did your mother do for you
Joe, while you ached in bed?" asked the
teacher, now all expectancy for the
reply.
"She mended my trousers" lisped

Mellen's Need of Praise
Notable Tribute to Distinguished Dead
 by Head of New Haven Road

Notable Tribute to Distinguished Dea,
 by Head of New Haven Road
 New Haven, Sept. 1o.-President Charles S. Me1len of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R., and an intimate friend of Edward H. Hartman, to-day issued the following state ment on the financier's death:
 tI have known MT. Hartman long and well. He was man of great energy and ability. thor ough believer in the future of this country and ambitious to play a large part in it's upbuilding.
 "He was violently and menda- ciously attacked by men in high places, who had done far less than he for humanity, and he suffered severely in consequence.
 Many could have been better spared. who have passed judgment upon him with little knowledge.
 '"The business world will seek long for his peer and humanity is great loser from his passing"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-10

ported and believed that the National City Bank, Kuhn, Loeb & Company, were combining with J. P. Morgan & Company to avert any market shock. Brokers had orders to buy an unlim- tied amount of stock in the event of any sharp decline and the almost un- aninlous opinion among them was that a week of declines in stocks had discounted MT. Harriman's death a great deal, and that the fact of his death would have only temporary ef- feet upon the market.
 London, Sept. 1G-American fnan- ciers took care that the London Stock market should not break under news of the death of B. H. Hartman. When some bulls of an ultra-conservative nature began closing out in American securities, but it was soon evident that the London speculators did not propose to get panicky because of MT. Harri- mans death. What was more evident American fnanciers here made cable arrangements to support the English market in the event it showed any weakness. The result was that the death of Hartman, instead of causing panic, caused the prices of Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and U. $. Steel to advance rapidly.
 In important banking circles in England, it is the belief that there was was sufficient warning given of the pending death of Mir. Hartman to permit arranging for the full protec- tion of all his interests and to make transactions that will assure the sta bility of his policy and program in connection with the Union and South ern Pacific. It is even believed in ff- nancial circles here that if the Ameri- can market, within the next day or two gives sufficient encoura cement, there will be a considerable revival of interest in American securities on this side. Absolutely no break in Ameri- can securities, especially in the Harri- man issues, is expected by English f- nanciers.

ESTATE INVENTORIED AT
 $3OO,OOO
Benevolent Fund $23,OOO, Which Is to Be Distribut- ed to Many Local Chari- ties.

When the will of the late Deacon Edward Sterling was filed on August II in the probate court it was found that an inventory of his benevolent Nobbs directed that the appraisers of the estate, Samuel s. Beardsley and Willis H. Lyon, make such an inven- tory. It was filed to-day and shows that the total fund amounts to $23. 713.80. After $250 each has been paid to Lillian E. and Isabel O. Clarke, daughters of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke, the remaining $23,21380 is to be distributed to various religious and charitable organizations.
 The fund will be distributed as fol- lows: s2,231.36 each to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; the Congregational Home Missionary Society; the American Mis- sion Association; $1,160.69 each to the American Sunday School Union; the South Congregational church to be added to the communion fund of that church and the income to be used for the poor of the church in whatever manner the majority of the deacons may devise. The sum of s1,741.05 will be given to each of the following in stitutions: The Bridgeport Protestant Orphan Asylum, the Bridgeport Prot estant Widows Society, the Y. M. c. A., and the Bridgeport hospital. An
 
 South Congregational church has been given to the Ladies' Charitable Society of this city, and a like sum each to the Bridgeport Boys Club, located on Mid dle street, the Y. w. c. A., the Bur- roughs' Home, to be added either to the sustentation or to the building fund, and to Yale University to be ad- ded to the Alumni fund.
