OPTIMISTIC

When taking out your appetite, and looking
for meal
And into some old oyster house you duck.
When you have ordered oyster stew you never,
never ought TO squeal.
For II you find oyster you're In luck.
Or II you go out foraging FOR shortcake in the
spring,
nd hope to see the berries run amuck.
Just try to hold your tongue awhile and do
not say thing,
For II you find berry you're in luck.
II you should go to some swell Joint where
all the nabobs go,
And where you know you're certain to get
stuck,
Just order fancy butter with the price quite
far from low,
And II you find but one hair you re In luck.

The Agent

One of the best ways to sell a
house is through an agent.
An agent works hard for his
commission; he must first find
a buyer who is interested in
the kind of property you have;
then he may spend weeks try
ing to convince the man that
he should buy.
Often he does not sell the
house, so all his work is done
without pay. He has spent his
time, but you have spent moth
ing.
You should always employ
an agent, however, because his
experience gives him a degree
of skill in closing deals that is
worth all that he earns in the
way of commissions.

Three Ways to Sell a House
The Want Ad

A sign is seen only by those
who chance to pass the prop
erty. An agent goes to men
who have never seen the prop
erty and thus brings it to the
attention of a greater number
of people. 2
But a want ad reaches the
entire city.
1t supplements the work OF
the agent-it does not replace
him.
Where the agent sees only
a dozen men who are interested
in your property, the want ad
reaches hundreds.
Send in your ad without de-
lay-some one may even now
be looking for the property you
have for sale. The ad will be
almost sure 20 reach him. Try
it, anyhow-the cost is small.

WARNING THAT WAS FAMILIAR
Grocer Man Used Formula That Maoe Little Harry Long to Be
 Far Away.

Mrs. Jones' fayorite warning to her young progeny when they were In mis- chief was that she would tend to them in a minute. Tending" was accom- plished by applying the open hand where 1t would do most good. When Harry was four years old he was sent for the first time round the corner to the grocery. In few minutes he came trotting soberly back with the nickel still in his hand, but no bag of onions,
 Whats the matter?" asked his mother.
 I'm 'fraid of the man." he said, sol emnly.
 "Oh. he won't hurt you treasured Mrs. Jones' Run along and bring the onions. I'm in hurry for them.'
 A second time Harry disappeared round the corner, and second tune returned without his purchase.
 "Im 'fraid of the grocer man, he explained, as before.
 Well, what makes you afraid Of him?" demanded his mother, impa- tiently.
 Why answered the little fellow, "hofe times when l goed in, he looked at me, an said, I'll tend to you ill a minute '"-Youths Companion.

LIVE ON SUGAR AND VINEGAR.
Crew Aboard sloop Adrift on Atlantic Have No Other Food for 13 Days.

New Yofk.-Two days after leaving Barbadoes the British steamship Ika- lis. in from Buenos Ayres, sighted a sinking sloop flying signals of distress, which turned out to be the little Sun. light, wandering cargo carrier be tween the islands of Antigua and Bar badoes
 She lay helpless with her master and her crew of five flat on the decks There was no water and no food in sight. When the men had been hoist ed aboard the steamer and revived Capt. J. Frank, owner of the Sun light, said that he ran into a fog a few hours out of Antigua, had lost his bearings and for thirteen days he and his crew had been living on vine gar and sugar. How long they had been unconscious before the Ikalis bore down on them he did not know
 As the fog came on, the sloop began to take water and the crew worked at the pumps until exhausted. Distress signals were set after storm washed their food and water overheard and for nearly two weeks their sole sus. tenanee was sugar saturated with vinegar from barrel which had been dashed fast.
 When the storm cleared it was found that the compass had gone with the provisions, and the crew pumped and sailed recklessly until, one by one they were overcome by exertion and starvation and each, in his turn, stretched himself out on the deck to die. Captain Frank was the last man to give in.
 When the rescued men had been re- freshed they insisted on returning to the Sunlight, which had been kept fin sight Accordingly they were put aboard with water and provisions, but while the Ikalis was bidding them adieu, they called for help. The Sun light was sinking. The Ikalis took them off again, the Sunlight was aban- doned and the shipwrecked men were brought to this port.

What Alaskan Indians Smoke.

Seattle. Wash.-How would you en- ioy a pipeful of wood shavings satur- ated with a strong solution of pepper as an after dinner smoke? This is the strange substitute used for tobac- co by Indians along the Alaska coast. Their mouths are often made raw by the practise, and the eyesight of many is affected by the strong fumes.
 It is no uncommon practise among farmers to smoke the leaves of the to- mato and potato plants. While both these plants contain a narcotic poison the smoking of leaves in moderation is harmless. Excessive use, though, produces a heavy stupor, from which the smoker awakes with a terrific headache and feeling of utter ex- haustion Insanity and suicide have often been caused by the immoderate use of these two weed Rhubarb, beet and even garden sage leaves are all smoked by farmers. but are per haps the least harmful of substitutes for tobacco.

She Took No Chances

A happily-wedded matron is the principal of an odd incident, which one of her dear" friends relates.
 Before the matron's engagement to her present husband was announced she met her "dear" friend on the street. The new matron was hurrying toward one of the large jewelry stores of the city.
 "John gave me an engagement ring D she explained, without shadow of embarrassment, and am going down to see how much 1t cost. You see, got the jewellers name off the box and she hurried on
 The same friend said that another bit of information the matron got was the commercial standing of the pros. pective husband, which she secured by paying for a special report from a commercial agency

from the Volga and the Danube rivers to the Ganges and from the Indian ocean to the polar sea The tribute of I thousand tribes and the homage of seven-and-twenty conquered nations were laid at his feet here. But all this glory has departed and for five centus ries Samarkand has been dying
 All the imposing structures that once gave Samarkand its reputation as be finest city in Asia have either dis appeared or are in an advanced stage of decay and dilapidation. They have been almost entirely stripped of the adornments that made them famous, and the earthquakes that occur every few years diminish the number of tur- quoise and azure domes and the dimen-
 ions of the enameled walls, and in- crease the heaps of debris which now cover the ground No effort has been made by the government or the priests or the people to restore or even to ar rest the rayages of time or to protect or preserve the architectural monu- ments that have stood here for ages sgainst the vandals, the earthquakes md other destructive agencies that have made Samarkand wreck of it's former magnif1cence.
 You would think there would be suf ficient pride, piety and patriotism in the Mohammedan world to perpetuate monuments and institutions chiefly ec- clesiastic in their origin and purpose, but the same conditions appear in every country where Islam prevails, except in Constantinople, Cairo and one or two other cities.
 Islam Is a dying religion. It has reached hopeless stage of decay, If he appearance of it's mosques and me dresses, it's shrines, the mausoleums ol it's saints, it's cemeteries and other pub lie institutions may be accepted as evi- dence I have never seen new mosque in any Mohammedan country; I do not know of one that has been built within the last century, and few have been repaired. Everywhere the indifference is the same; everywhere the same degree of dilapidation may be found, even in the most fanatical cities like Bokhara and Damascus.
 The Perstans used to call Samar- kand the center of the universe, the hub, like Boston. It was the Athens 0. Asia for learning and culture, but a Babylon for extravaganza and vice. The luxury and immortality of its rulers and its citizens was the cause of its decay. It's population at the zenith of it's glory was million; now it has scarcely 175,00O inhabitants.

Washington was still alive md when Abraham Lincoln was born Uncle Henry was schoolboy of eight Before the first mile of railroad was laic he was a young married man with children about his freside.
 For years the people of southeast Missouri looked upon Uncle Henry as very old man. But they were not prepared for the announcement made short time ago by the old mans rel atiEes that he was the oldest man in the nation. The relatives had conduct ed pretty thorough examination of the facfs on the subject and they feel sarranted in the assertion that Henry D0rman can show records to prove a greater age than any other man in the Gnited States. Some men assert that their years exceed those of Uncle Henry, but they cannot show the proofs, Most of these are negroes who do not really know how old they are

His eyes still beam forth fire from under his heavy lashes, and now and then they show glint of humor. which proves that the old man. in spite of his advanced age. gets enjoyment out of living
 A visitor went to the Dorman home a short time ago. The house on the old farm is old and small, but it Is well kept up by the old man. his aged daughter-in-law and his aged grandson. All in the Dorman household are old, though they represent three genera tions Hattie Dorman, the daughter in=laW. welcomed the visitor. and said that Uncle Henry was out "choreing around" some place.

 Uncle Henry" never took any care of himself in his youth, and it was ow- ing to no design of his own that he has lived to such a ripe old age.
 T guess the Lord just meant me to live long," exclaimed Uncle Henry, for I never took any kind of care of myself. None of my family ever lived long, either, and when l was fourteen was an orphan. That meant that had to get out and make my way in the world at an early age.
