WHEN sMARTNEss DOESN'T PAY

A London clothier was never known
to acknowledge that he didn't have
anything possible customer might ask
for. One day a customer entered the
shop and asked if he had any trousers
made especially for one-legged men.
Certainly" replied the merchant.
what kind do you want?"
DRESS pants" replied the customer.
THE best you've got"
Hurrying into the rear of the shop,
the cnterprising merchant snatched
pair of trousers and shipped off the
right leg with a pair of shears. Hastily
turning under the edges he presented
them to the customer.
"That's the kind l want What's the
price?"
Thirty shllings."
"Well. give me a pair with the left
leg off,"
A month later the clothier was pro
nounced cOnValescent and on the right
road to recovery.-Answers.

MARK TwAIN's POLITICAL SPEECH

MARK TWAIN'S POLITICAL SPEECH
1t is said that Mark Twain has made
only one public appearance as a po-
presidential campaign some years ago.
While visiting in Elmra, New York
in the fall of that year, he made a short
speech, introducing General Hawley of
Connecticut to a Republican meeting
Among some other things he said:
General Hawley is a member of my
church in Hartford and the author of
Beautiful Snow Maybe he will deny
that; but I am here only to give him
a character from his last place. AS
pure citizen l respect him; as a per-
sonal friend of years, have the warm
est regard for him; as a neighbor
whose vegetable garden intimately ad
joins mine, why-why, [ watch him.
LAS the author of Beautiful Snow
he added a new pang to winter. He
is a square, true man in honest poll
tics-and 1 must say that he occupies
a mighty lonesome position So broad,
so bountiful, is his character, that he
never turned a tramp empty handed
from the door-but always gave him a
letter of introduction to me.
Pure, honest, incorruptible, that is
Joe Hawley. Such man in politics is
like a bottle of perfumery in a glue
factory; it may moderate the stencil;
but it can't eliminate it.
I'm conclusion let me say that l
haven't said any more of him than I
would of myself Ladies and gentle
men, this is General Hawley."

Leather Money and Medals.

On the authority of Seneca, a Gu
rious account is given of a period
when leather, appropriately stamped
to give 1t certain legal character,
was the only current money. At a
comparatively recent date in the an
nails of Europe, Fredich the Second.
who died in 1850 at the siege of Mi
Ian, paid his troops with leather
money. Nearly the same circum-
stance occurred in England during
the great wars of the barons. In the
course of 1850 King John, for the
ransom of his royal person, promised
to pay to Edward the Third of Eng
land three millions of gold crowns
In order to fill his obligation John
was reduced to the mortifying neces-
sity of paying the expenses of the pal
ace in leather money, in the centre of
each piece there being little bright
point of silver.
In that reign is found the origin of
the burlesque honor of comforting "a
leather medal" King John having
used them when he wished to confer
honor upon some nobleman.--Har-

Famous Com nerclal Travellers
BY FORREST CRrssEY.

Marshall Field was a commercial

most indefinitely.
Occasionally the commercial trav-

the professions. Milton j. Foreman,
one of the leaders of the Chicago bar,
president of the Chicago Charter AS
sociation, alderman, and a power in
local politics, was star hat sales
man and took his law books on the
road with him until he was well
grounded in the rudiments of the
profession.
Another commercial traveller,
Charles N. Crewdson, took a course
in the University of Chicago after he
was married. There he became in
terested in Egyptology and later, be-
tween his regular commercial trips
on the road, visited Egypt and studied
the ancient ruins at first hand. This
brought him into print in a series
of travel articles, and he found that
he could write, and write we'll Later
he began to draw upon his expert
ence as a commercial traveller for lit
erary material and scored a success
and National reputation. But he
resolutely withstood all temptation to
be drawn away from the road. His
work kept him in touch with the
world OF affairs, and one day his
alert eye caught sight of the oppor-
tunity to start novel business "on

came his actual partner in the new
enterprise. Their work for their re-
spective houses took them where they
most needed to go in the interest of
their private venture. To-day one Of

that, while their private venture
probably yields them more than they
earn from their regular calling ,-Ev-

Did as He Was Told.

Some years ago the Yankee schoon-
er Sally Ann, under command of
Captain Spooner, was beating up the
Connecticut River. Mr.. Comstock,
the mate, was at his station forward.
According to his notion of things the
schooner was getting "leetle" too
near certain mud flats which lay
along the larboard shore, so aft he
went to the captain, and with his hat
cooked on one side said:
"Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a
leetle too close to them flats. Hadn't
ye better go about?"
The captain glared at him.
"Mr. Comstock, jest you go for'ard
and tend to your part of the skinner.
I'll tend to mine"
Mr.. Comstock went for'ard in high
dudgeon.
Boys" he beloved out, "see that
ar mud hooks all clear for lettin'

"Ay, ay, sir!"
Let go, them" he roared.
Down went the anchor, out ratified
the chains, and like a flash the Sally
Ann came lufTing into the wind, and
then brought up all standing. Mr..
Comstock walked aft and touched his
hat.

Best Wheat For Bread.

1t is a we'll recognized fact that the
-four from the hard spring wheats of
the Northwestern districts will pro-
duce large, well piled loaf of bread
of excellent quality, and because it
absorbs a lot of water 1t also gives a
good yield of bread. These are de-
sirable qualities and naturally ex-
plain why this class of flour is so pop
ular for bread making.
The softer winter wheats do not
contain so much gluten and do not
make SO large or to many people so
desirable loaf as the spring wheat
fours. Yet good, palatable loaf of
bread can be made, and is being made
every day, from this class of -four

hands over the dying fire, palms

died away instantly. Bill faced the
cabin and, pointing into the gloom,
shouted: Behold the sign!"

fearsomely bright on what seemed
