A woman of my acquaintance nv
wife to be exact, once woke one of
these bank Ginks up. She had re-
ceived her money and stepped aside.
Counting it she saw that the clerk
had made an error.
Excuse me- she said, "you made
mistake in giving me my money"
You'll have to fall in line.

ted, One night, about 2 a. M, the
late Bill Nye went into the old Hoff-
man House, New York. He was not
handsome nor imposing looking
man, and his personal dignity was
scarcely improved by the slouched
hat and crinkled linen buster he
wore. He approached the desk, car
rying a battered carpetbag. The
clerk was a magnificent creature,
with flowing mustache, black and
shining hair, and a huge expanse
of polished shirt front, on which
blazed big diamond.
"C'n l get a room?" said Nye.
The clerk eyed him slowly, and
said: Il suppose SO. We have moth
ing left, though, but a small room
on the top floor"
'All right; just have the boy take
my grip up there"
You'll have to pay in advance, ,
said the clerk. Three dollars. And
just write your name here on the
register"
"All right" drawled Bill. He
wrote his name. Then he pulled from
his vest pocket a roll of bills. He
had just come in from a lyceum
tour, and had all his fees in his
pocket. There was perhaps $500 OF
$500 in the bundle he spilled out or
the counter. Fishing out a IS bill
he handed it to the clerk.
The pompous Gink had seen the
name on the book and the pile oil
money on the desk and a light had
begun to dawn upon him.
"Oh-ah-by the way Mr.. Nye,

A TWELVE-ACRE FARM.
Supports Family and Puts $4,000
in the Bank.

in the Bank.
In Ogden, Utah, there is a farmer
named Joseph Dana who has spare
time to dabble in politics, run for
office and occasionally get elected to
the council, who has a twelve-acre
patch on which he raises radishes,
cucumbers lettuce, tomatoes, aspar-
agus, potatoes and cabbage, and from
which he derives revenue suffi-
GENTLY large to pay all his expenses
and place a balance of over $4,000
in the bank each year. He has done
that for seven years, and expects to
continue to add to his prosperity at
an equal rate
There are ranchmen with whole
sections of land who cannot boast of
profit equal to that derived by Mr..
Dana from his slightly enlarged city
square.
Mr.. Dana, in speaking of his sue
cess, said he nearly starved before
he learned how to farm with his
head as we'll as his hands. Now he
laughs at the hardy son of toll who
has large acreage, a strong back,
but a woeful lack of understanding
of things agricultural and who, at
the end of year of perspiration,
earns his bread, but receives nothing
more.

young women did not overestlmate
their abilities. Two months work in
soliciting subscriptins for a magazine

BABYS HAIR ALL CAME OUT

bumps. They would dry up and leave

was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was on his
hands and arms. l bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when a

a cake of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles Of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes of
Soap he was sound and we'll, and never
had any breaking out of any kind His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
