Old Pete Blew First.

An old darby, who lived some
distance from town, had a very
sick mule. He drove into the
village to see the village veter-
mary as to what to do for the
mule. The doctor told him to
get a pound of calomel and &
hollow glass tube and blow the
calomel through the tube down
the mules throat.
About a week after that the
darby appeared in town look
ing very dejee's pale. He
met the doctor on he street and
said: "Say, boss, got the Gallo
M Il and the tube and put the
calomel in the tube" and just
then the doctor asked him if he
blew it down the throat of the
mula, and the Old darby said:
"No boss, old Pete he done
blew first. " Philadelphia Rec

Not SO Darned I'amished.
A man was telling about an
exciting experience in Russia.
His sleigh was pursued over
frozen waste by a pick of at
least a dozen FAM s!iad wolves.
He arose and sho- the foremost
one, and the 9th ~; stopped to
devour it. But they soon
caught up with him, ard he
shot another, which was in
turn devoured. This was re-
peated until the last famished
wolf was almost upon him with
yearning jaws when
"Say, partner" broke in one
of the listners, according to
your reckoning that last fam
ished wolf must have had the
other 'leven inside Of him."
"Well, come to think it over,
said the story. teller, maybe he
wasn't SO darned famished af-
ter ALL"

We desire to call the atten-
ton of each of the contestants
in our contest that the closing
date is set for April 10Th.
This is only a few days away
and it behooves each Of them
as we'll as their friends to get
busy from now on. We are
also offering some extra spec
ial prizes that are easily earned.
This is done in order to get as
n'4ey subscriptions in before
the last few days and avoid the
rush that always comes on
closing a contest of this kind.
The contest is not over until
the last date and hour and
there is plenty of time yet for
a new contestant to enter and
win this piano. We hear
rumors Of dark horses and
vague reports of new contest
ants. We cannot verify these
and of course cannot give out
any information as we must
play fair in this deal. We do
know however that the oppor-
tunity to win a beautiful $780,
100 piano by a little work is fast
slipping by and that a new con-
|testant could enter and stand a
good chance to win. Anyone
desiring to do so, we will gladly
furnish receipt books etc,
necessary to get the business.
To those already in, we only
have one word to say and that
is to redouble the work you
have been doing as you cannot
afford to lay down now. We
must have a large number of
new subscribers at once and
that is the reason we are max
ing these many inducements
and fine prizes. Watch the
papers from now on as there
are going to be some startling
changes if we are not mistaken.
The field is still large and
there are quite a number of
subscriptions that can be added
by a little work. ala

Alexander Agassiz, whose
death was noted yesterday, was
the son of Louis Agassiz, the
famous naturalist. The father,
when it was suggested that he
turn some of his discoveries in
to profitable channels replied:
4 have no time to make money!
Alexander, however, had and
used time for that purpose. He
was early associated with the
Calumet & Hecla copper mine,
in which he amassed a large
fortune. He was president of
this great mining company
when he died.

IS A Profitable Investment

AS A Profitable Investment
Generally speaking, the value
OF property on a business street
is directly proportionate to the
number Of people who make
use of the street as a thorough
fare. A corner lot on Erie is
worth more than a lot in Will
low Park, simply and solely be-
cause a greater number of peo-
pie pass the Erie corner
during the day. 1t not infre-
quently happens that opposite
sides of a street on the same
block have considerably differ
ent values, due to the same
cause. Anything which adds
to the traffic of a given street
must, therefore, add to the
value of the abutting property.
While TINS of accessible
lty to issc,sS@ry utilities, as
railway stations. hotels, banks,
public buildings, etc, have
doubtless preponderating ir-
fluence in determining the trait
fic of street, it is equally true
that no subsidiary condition
has such a vital effect as the
lighting. A Western city has
a long open square in the CEN
ter of a business section, which
naturally affords a prominent
location for business. 1t hap
pens that one side of this
square has been brilliantly
lighted up, mostly by private
enterprise. AS a result nine
tenths of the pedestrians in the
evening take that side of the
square. with the result that it
is far more valuable as a bust
ness location than the opposite
side. The merchants on one of
the main business streets of a
large Eastern city saw that
the bulk of traffic failed to pass
them in the natural course of
business; they installed a brill
liant system of street lighting,
and forwish their street be-
came the center of attraction;
and similar instances can be
cited in numerous other cities.
1t would, of course, be absurd
to expect to create a popular
business street out of a thor
oughfare lying far beyond the
natural limits of traffic; but
there is no question that any
street directly tributary to a
business thoroughfare can be
fully doubled in value by the
installation of spectacular
lighting.
In a more general way, light
ing the entire business section
of a city up to the Standards of
modern illumination does for
the city, as a whole, what the
lighting of a particular street
does for that section; it in
creases values by increasing
the traffic, not only from the
city itself, but from the sur
rounding country and nearby
towns. That good light in
creases the value of residential
streets by making them more
desirable needs no argument.
Good street lighting, more than
any other thing, gives to a city
an air of progressiveness and
prosperity. Nothing succeeds
like success" to appear pres
porous is the first step to being
prosperous.

One of the most beautifully
appointed affairs ever enjoyed
by the Kensington Club &C.
Cured yesterday when Mrs.
George Kellogg was hostess to
the members at her home on
Seventh street. The afternoon
was spent in the accustomed
Misunderstanding, visiting and
music, making the afternoon
pass very pleasantly until five
o'clock, when the ladies were
invited into the dining room.
The table was handsomely dec
Grated with Easter decorations,
a large bouquet of Easter lilies
furnishing the centerpiece.
The table was used with pol
ished surface and doilies, and
dainty little chicks were scat
tered over the table, making a
very artistic effect. The names
of the guests were written on
the place cards in Russian and
a great deal of amusement was
afforded in finding the differ
ent places. Each lady found a
little chick at her place as a
souvenir of the occasion. Ele-
giant refreshments were served
by Mrs. Kellogg. Mrs. r. L
Coulthard was the guest of the
Club.
