OWES SEVEN MILLIONS.

Boston Transcript: The United
State supreme court, sitting as a
board OF auditors, decided q contro-
versy which literally dates back to
the Civil war; when it found that
West Virginia owes Virginia $1,000
Geo. There IS no appeal from this
finding and West Virginia must pay.
Probably since West Virginia is to-
day prosperous the money will not
come as hard as il would have in
The past The Two states will easily
get together to pass the papers re-
quircd and with the payment viii
disappear an old difference which
once entered national politics in the
'readiustment' movement When
twenty full counties in the western
part OF the Old Dominion repndiated

ed to stand BY The Unino they probab-
ly had no thought that the new state
which they sh0r,ly were to form
would be held for their proportion OF

Now their descendants learn other

they were part has legal claim
on them for Their proportion Of it's

that the volume, Of trade up to the

trade is constantly improving. The
fact that prices rule steady to firm

Wheat shipments from United

Farmers IL Good Shape.

(Muskogee phoenix.)
Farmers Of Oklahoma will this year
plant larger acreage to crops than
ever before in the history of the state
and with the education work that has
been conducted during the past eigh-
teen moths it is but reasonable to
believe that they will produce more
to each acre planted, anticipating a
favorable season. Of course The
crops Of Oklahoma last year were
s.aftling in their totals. and during
the pact year there have been thous-
ands OF farmers come to Oklahoma
and bought land Farmers who have
lived here for fumber of years will
increase their operations. more new
land will be cleared and more sod
broken. Oklahoma has just commenc
ed a grand march that viii not end
alntil lthe agricultural prcfucts of
this state place it in the front darli
OF the great producing states of the
Union. The farmers are in excellent
financial shape this season. Last
year they made money, lots of money
Most Of them squared off old debts
and had comfortable balance left
They are in position to extend their
farming and to apply their methods
and they are doing It.

train with club cafe car for the run
from Alamogordo to Ell Paso, and the
belated passengers appreciated such
thoughtful care for their comfort and
convenience. The locomotive of the
mountain train after it left the rails,
scraped along the ties a little way
and stopped; only the front wheels of
the forward truck Of rhe baggage car
left the track The train was stopped
by the air brakes so quickly and so
smoothly that the passengers felt no
jar, and did not know anything was
wrong until they began to investigate
the cause of the delay. Then most OF
the excursionists walked back up to

THE MINISTER AND THE TINMAN
How Caleb Skinner Made His Spare Moments Reward Him.
By THOMAS TAPER

Everybody reads nowadays But tn:
careful reader is fast disappearing
This, in turn, affects memory. The
more carelessly and hurriedly we
read, the less the brain is impressed
and a feeble brain impression cannot
be readily brought to the front, oil
remembered.
The Story of the PeddIer.
Old Caleb Skinner, the tin peddler
dorve his tinwaFe wagon through
the New England town for many
years. Skinner could neither read
nor write, yet he kept all his ac-
counts in his head as accurately as
any man could keep them by a double
entry system. He was likewise re-
markable for the observations he
made from the seat of his cart The
old gray horse he drove knew every
road and every house. and made his
passage like a machine. Meanwhile
Skinner sat aloft thinking out his ac-
count against the man in the next
house, or noting what the farmer
had done since his last trip.
Skinner never talked books, for he
could not read them. But, in a sense
he was more entertaining. for he was
a book in himself. full of originality.
quaint, humorous and overlooking
with stories about people in some
other town. Skinner never told a
man a story about, his own neighbor.
Now. many people who profess cul-
ture and read books do not practice
this simple courtesy.
So Skinner taught me that the
mind that is constantly alert to what
is before it, takes in and retains,
while the mind that is given to
thoughtlessness and hurried action is
neither exact nor entertaining. He
had discovered in a very homely way
that it paid him to read the people
who bought his tinware, as the Nor
wegian minister desired TO read the
Bible: With deeper insight and a
broader meaning
When he came to family that
owed him money, when sickness or
death had visited them, he always
contrived to leave a dollar bill or two
somewhere in the kitchen. TO be dis
covered after he had mounted his
wagon and started up the old gray
horse.
1t matters. little whether a mans
profession is a knowledge Of books
and reading, or. supplying a circuit of
towns with tinware; he succeeds If
his observations are keen, his grasp
of affairs firm and his memory busy
with what he actually does.
If he can add to this the sympathy
that prompts him, when trouble comes
to friend. to leave dollar bill or
two somewhere in the kitchen-then
he is by all measurements, man
whose insight is deep and whose
grasp Of meaning is broad
