He was one of those long, sad faced
men who never seem to be able to re-
sist talking to their fellow passengers
in a train or any similar conveyance,
and, seating himself next to an inoffen-
sive individual smoking big black Gig
ar and reading paper, he at once be-
gan to worry him with questions.
"Sir," he said, twill you allow your
boy to smoke cigarettes when he grows
up9"
GIVE never given the question a min

The other man painted for breath.
"And," he went on, family, twill

Again the smoker answered that he
had never thought about it.
"Oh," gasped the sad-faced man,
"can such people EXIST To think"
But then the other man interrupted
him.
"Look here, SIR" he said. "You
mean well, no doubt, but let me tell you
that I've been a confirmed bachelor
for the last thirty-fve years!"
Then, at last, the sad-faced man was
silent He had something to think

Danger.

Atlanta, Ga.-A dozen deaths was
the toll taken Saturday night in Mis-

first serious windstorm of this year.
In the district of Moultrie, Ga,

Inland Empire Prosperous.

AAAAo4AA A1AARAAO AVOPOAVoos
The prosperity Of the Inland Empire
10 we'll exempli6ed by statistical re-
port just issued by the Spokane cham
Der of commerce. The figures given
for comparison cover the two preceding
years and show a gratifying growth in
all lines of business during 190s-a
period which, throughout the country
generally, has been characterized by
depression, stagnation or a general
slackening up in industry and produc-
ton as compared with the phenomenal
activity Of several preceding years.
That the year just past has been q
specially profitable one for the agri-
cultural interests is evidenced by the
fact that wheat production increased
100000 bushels; live stock and poul-
try, ST 100000 in value; dairy products,
$4,000 900, and other farm products ex-
cepting fruit, $1,250,00O, while the
fruit crop yielded $4,000, 900, approx
mately the same as in 1907. The total
value of agricultural products aside
from wheat was $51,250,00O.
The lumber cut Of the Inland Empire
increased from 932,995,747 feet to 1885,
100000 feet and the value from ST.
0OO,O0 to $1S,OOO,OOO.
During the same period the mines Of
the Inland Empire produced $4,000, 900
as against $32,000,000 in the preceding
year.
The new mileage of steam and electric
roads was 453, against $50 in 1907.
When the unusually high price at
which wheat has sold throughout the
year and which still obtains is taken
into consideration along with the above
facts it is evident that the farmers
and those dependent on them through
out the Inland Empire have every rea-
son to look backward as well as forward
with satisfaction and confidence.
A gentleman wished to make his wife
a present of lace scarf, but had no
desire to pay an extravagant price.
81 want you to buy nice lace scarf
for Cousin Amelia" he said to his
spouse. "Choose something nice
something you would get for yourself"
The wife, however, had her own ideas
as to generosity, in buying presents,
and the purchase, when she made it,
consisted of very simple article.
Oh 'ml" said the husband; "is it
what you would have chosen for your
selfi5
Exactly" she replied.
"Well, my dear, keep it, I meant it
for you'll" he explained, with an ami
able smile.
