Collectinn an Old Debt.

The other day the manager of fur
niture house in town asked one OF his
star statesmen to collect a bill OF long
standing. for which the regular col
lector had been unable to get cash.
The manager told his man to threaten
a lawsuit If necessary. The salesman
said he would collect 1t without that
and went to the delnquents Office. He
put the bill in the band Of his derby
hat, and with the hat held nonchalant-
~ In his left hand he strolled into the
inner shrine. The man at the desk
looked at him inquirlngly and then
glanced down at the conspicuous bill.
well. what is it, he asked.
Pardon me-" said the salesman In
his best manner, but could you tell
me is Mr.. Jones deadT
"Why, no. I'm Mr.. Jones"
Thank you. That's all wanted to
know" said the salesman and walked
abruptly from the room.
Next day a check came for the
amount.-New York Sun.

Savind The Union,

Until we had national game 1t was
silly, according to Ellis Parker Butler
In Success Magazine, to speak OF the
loose group Of states as a nation. The
people had too much time In which to
talk politics, and whenever they talked
politics they became angered. and
whenever they were angered they
wanted TO secede or knock spots of
each other. There was no one great
unifylng spirit There was too much
Maryland. My Maryland" and "Yan'
kee Doodle" and not any Casey at the
Bat" All the animus that is now d.
rected at the umpire class was allow
ed to foment into sectional feeling. A
man from Baltimore and a man from
Boston could not meet and talk In
curves; they had to talk slaves. I'm
aglne the benighted state Of society!
1t is q wonder that the nation lasted
until baseball arose in its might and
strength to make Of us one great peo-
Dle!

upon him and made a long speech.
The king listened patiently for time,

Curious TRAINING Methods.

his own system, and some Of the meth

of any practicable value. One young

a Leuend of February.

Here is the pretty legend which tells
why February has only twenty-eight
or twenty-nine days. Long ago, they
say. February was a gambler, and he
was so unlucky that he soon lost all
his money. Like other gamblers, he
tried to recover 1t, and he said to his
companions that If they would lend
him some money he would give them
as security one Of his days. January
and March, who were naturally asso-
clated with him more often than any
of the other months. accepted his Of
fer. and as poor February soon lost
the money which he had borrowed
each Of them acquired one. Of his days.
That is why January and March have
each thirty-one days and February has
only twenty-eight in ordinary and
twenty-nine in leap years.

a Scotch Anti. Golf Law.

land where golf originated and the
land where 1t most fourishes. But II

the players of the royal game in bon
ME Scotland" Golf players there may
not know it, but they are liable to a
sentence Of death for their indulgence
in their favOrite sport. Technically
this is literally fact. In ancient
times. when Scotland always had work
for her soldiers to do. all young men
we're required to perfect themselves in
archery. They preferred to play golf.
and so serious rival did the game be-

and made capital Offense. That curl
GUS law never has been repealed and
may still be found on the statute book.

Of the law ever having been enforced.

a Japanese Custom.

On the anniversary of n japanese
boys birthday his parents present him
with a huge paper fish, made Of gay
ly painted bag, with hoop of proper
dimensions forming the mouth. \
string is tied to the hoop, and the fish
Is hoisted to a pole on the roof or
the house. Then the wind rushing
through causes the fish to swell out to
the proper size and shape and gives IT
the appearance Of swimming in the
air. A japanese boy carefully pre-
serves every fish thus given to him.
One can tell by the number Of them
that swim from the same pole how
many birthdays the little fellow has
had.

The orummer,s Sermon.

Certainly | will make few re-
marks" says the cigar salesman who.
because of his solemn garb, has been
mistaken for man Of the cloth.
Ascending the platform, he says:
Men are much like cigars. otten
you cannot tell by the wrapper what
the filler Is. Sometimes good OLD
stogy is more popular than an i'm
ported celebrity. Some men are all
right in the showcase on display. but
are great disappointments when you
ret them home. No matter how fine
man Is. eventually he meets his
match. A two-fer often puts on as
many airs as n fifty-center. Some men
never get to the front at all except
during campaigns. Some are very
fancy outside and are selected for
presents. Others have rough eX'
terror, but spread cheer and comfort
about them because Of what Is inside.
But all men. as all cigars, good or
bad two-fers. stogles or rich or poor
come to ashes at the last."-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

small boxes is by far the most adyis-
