His Real Calling.

There Is a writer in New York who
has achieved little success, but who,
being amply supplied with worldly
goods, refuses to be discouraged. So
he keeps turning out books the merits
of which he earnestly attests by word
of mouth and heavy purchases from
the publishers. He is long time
friend of Simeon Ford. boniface, wit
and philosopher. That Mr.. Ford IL
the only one who ever read all Of his
friends books probably furnishes q
reason why the attentuated hotel man
is one of the most solemn looking Of
humans.
They were at dinner recently when
the author said: "Sim, you've been
awfully kind to me-you are my real
audience, for you've suffered like a
friend and read all l have written.
Sometimes think that have made a
great mistake and am not really an
author after all"
II think you're right" assented Mr..
Ford. you're born chemist"
"How's that?" suspiciously asked
the author.
"Well," remarked Simeon, every
book you write becomes drug on the
market"

But he wasn't easy despite his finan-

Henry G.. Brooks, the well-known
New York lawyer, talking about do
nestle troubles, has had his share OF
the servant problem. though he won't
admit it. However, he is frank enough
to tell one on himself, as he did re-

She asked to be allowed to go away
for a few days and 60 to the funeral.
After a week had passed we com
menced to get nervous. So a note
was sent to her inquiring when she
would be able to return and how her
uncle was.
1--WE got a reply something like this:
"Dear Sir: I will be back as soon
as possible. Uncle is getting weaker
and weaker. Ma has told him I can't
stay here much longer, and know he
don't want me to lose my job"

in a truly remarkable array of indus
tries. These factories alone represent
an investment Of over $40,000,000 and
are employing $4,000 workmen.
1t Is true that coffee Is the staple,
but these factories are turning out cot
ton and wooden fabrics; they are ma
king rope. twines and papers. There
are breweries, marble quarries, metal
industries Of various natures; vast es-
tates that are devoted to the culture
OF rice, and square miles of territory
that produce enormous quantities Of
fruits that are shipped in all direc-
lions. Sac Paulo has gone extensively
into grape culture, and is turning out
wines that are becoming vastly popu-
lar in several countries. Agriculture
of a general nature has engaged the
attention Of the residents of the state
to greater degree in the last few
years, and as consequence the rail-
ways are extending in every direction
throughout the state. AS an indica-
ton of the volume of business trans
acter through the port of Santos 1t
last year reached grand total of Eve
and half million tons. which COM
pares very favorably with the trade
of Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Ayres, the
two largest South American ports.
In great measure this progress is
due to the far-sighted and patriotic
efforts of those statesmen who have
directed the destinies Of the state, and
1t has been recently stated by South
American historian that the history Of
the State Of Sac Paulo was the history
OF all Brazil.

the statement that Sac Paulo, the

Confessional Situation
May be Complicated

The Pierre correspondent of the
Aberdeen News, referring to things
political, says:
"The congressional situation is likely
to be complicated by the fact that the
question of the power of the referen-
DUN to apply to the congressional dis
trict act of the last session Is to be
tested in the courts. Such move is
said to be under way and ready to
come out into the open at almost any
time. 1t only waits the completion of
the preliminaries toward the legal
steps before the suit is begun. If it
should be held that the referendum
cannot apply, it will go long way
toward settling who the nominees Of
the progressives are to be for the con-
gressional places. Even If the refer
endum is set aside, it will make no
difference In the stalwart selections,
as they each live in the different dis
tricts fixed in the act. But with the
progressives, If the referendum is de-
clared to be imperative, there may
be great difference in who will be
their candidates.
