Is no doubt Of the fact that everything
sold in the name Of insurance does not
make the purchaser safe or protect
lives absolutely, to the extent for which
he thinks he Is insured against the con-

Wheat.-"Tell me- said a seeker af-
ter information to grain man, what
is the difference between hard and soft
wheat, that I see SO often in market
reports?"
According to its texture and firm
ness, wheat is divided into hard and
soft. Hard wheat contains more glu-
ten, which is the tissue-making ele-
ment supplied by lean beef, and there
fore makes the finest bread Of any
wheat in the wo Id, but 1: makes
tough, hard pastry Soft wheat, on
the other hand, with less gluten con-
tains more starch. This makes it val
liable for cracker bakers and for pas
try -four. If you have ever tasted the
hot soda biscuits of the south you will
have a warm regard for soft wheat.
Millers blend different varieties Of
wheat to produce different varieties Of
flour. The difference beteen hard and
soft wheat is due to sofi sand climate.
Hard spring is produced in the north
west, notably in the Red river valley
district; while Kansas Is the leading
hard winter state. The middle states
south Of the Great lakes, Atlantic and
Southern states mostly produce soft
wheat, and a white starchy wheat
comes from the Pacific coast and

A Lively Little Party.-Fred Kelly
went back to the scenes of his Ohio
boyhood and hired a horse and buggy
to drive around and visit familiar
spots.
AS he was about to get into the bug
gy a negro came trotting across field
calling Kelly by name. Kelly couldn't
remember him at first, but the negro
identified himself as boyhood play
mate, and insisted Kelly should drive
him to field where the negro had a
job cutting corn, explaining that II
Kelly refused to do this his friend
would lose his job.
What makes you late?" asked
Kelly.
"Oh, my wife's sistah is visitin' at
Duh house. She wasn't feelin' very
we'll an come ovah this mawnin' on
the eight o'clock cab. They thought
she might get bettah at ouh house, but
she died about half an hour aftah she
come; so that kept me back from get
tin to wu'k."
What was the matter?" asked
Kelly.
"Oh, seems like she went to some
sort of a dance in Dayton night befo'
las and some niggah the got to wu'kin
on her haid wifi hatchet."

The Tripe Market-A frugally in
clined stock-trader from up the state
made a mistake and dropped into one
Of the most expensive restaurants in
New York, says the Saturday Evening
Post.
He didn't look at the prices on the
bill-of-fare, which was perhaps just as
well for his peace Of mind. Instead he
thought Of the cheapest article of fill
ing food that he knew anything about,
which was tripe; and then he called tn
waiter and told him to bring him an
order of tripe.
The waiter brought him a single por-
ton of tripe, cockered up in chafing
dish with green peppers and mush-
rooms. He also brought a check for
eighty cents. When the beef trader
saw the figures on the check he emit
ted a roar of rage and agony that
brought the manager to him, demand
ing an explanation.
why, this here waiter Of yours is
trying to rob mel" sputtered the in
dignant guest. HE had the nerve To
charge me eighty cents for plate OF
tripe!"
That is the correct price" said the
manager soothingly.
The diner eyed him for moment in
astonishment. why. you big burglar" 7"
he yelled, you couldn't tote eighty
cents worth OF tripe!"

Collecting a Debt.-A sea captain
living in a small Massachusetts, town
had loaned money to a neighbor, who,
after the loan was year or too old.
made no effort to pay 1t. Thecaptain
began to look upon 1t as lost, 49,. a..
Arriving home from a voyage. ,he
heard of a debt-collector who was not
ed for sticking to a delinquent until
some result was obtained. The captain
called upon this person, told him the
circumstances. and said:
Now If you will collect that debt, I'll
give you half of it; or If you don't COL
lect but half Of the bill, I'll divide that
with you"
The collector nodded. Il guess can
get half of 1t anyhow. If don't, it
sha'n't be for want Of trying hard
enough"
The captain sailed away, and on his
return, again sought out the collector.
Hello, Mr. Blank" said he. How
about that bill? Have you collected 1t
yet?
Well replied the man, Il amt col
lected the hull on it; but did elect
my part bout as soon as you gin me
the account, and he amt paid me a
cent since. I keep after him, but it's
just as you said, when you give me the
bill; he don't have any conscience
about it. Good day!" and the brisk
collector disappeared. leaving the cap
tain vainly gazing after him.

A Mere Slap,

A young lawyer In southern town
was sitting in his office one day when
an old negro who had belonged to the
lawyers father, came in and hailed
him.
"Mistah Campbell" he said. Use
done got in little mess count Of my
ole oman, and wants you to please,
sub, to come long over to de cote
house and fix it up fur me. 1t don't
mount to nothin' but dey is talkin,
bout swearin out a writ and sendin'
de constables after me-"
What is the matter?" asked the
lawyer.
WELL suh," said the old man, you
know whut aggervatin' niger oman
dat wife O. mine is? Dis mawnin' at
breakfus' she kept on argufyin' and
'sputin' wild me ontwell up and slap
her. OATS al it is; I des slapped her
longside de haid onc't to correct her"
Leaving the old man in his office the
lawyer crossed to the court house. He
ltldl TIE "OLidh was Al q iioS-
pital. reported as dangerously injured,
and that a charge Of assault with in
tent to kill had been lodged against
the husband. He hurried back.
Now, Uncle Ike" he asked, 'if you
want me to defend you, you've got to
tell me the truth about this whole af-
fair. They say your wife is badly
hurt-she may not get well. What did
you do to herr"
"Mistah Campbell" protested the
old man, II done tole you de TRUTH
des up and slapped dat oman along
side de haid wild my hand"
with your hand?"
Yes, suh." ...
WAS there anything in your hand ?"
well, sub, since you mentions It,"
said the accused. "I does seem to re-

Bits of Worldly Wisdom.

The closer you get at some people
the more distant they are. ,
A girl who is pretty and knows 1t is
apt to consider herself the whole
peach crop.
It's we'll to be up-to-date, but It's
foolish to borrow trouble in advance.
1t Is said that the whisper of a dol
lar can be heard farther than the
loudest yell Of duty.
A process Of extracting gold and
silver from the mining stocks would
certainly fill a long felt want.
When a man gets sick he doesn't
want to take any medicine; when 9
woman gets sick she wants to take
about seventeen kinds at once.
There Is something morally wrong
with a woman who thinks that every
man leads a double life.
Any man who isn't thankful fol
what he gets has occasion to be thank
full for what he doesn't get.
When the average man hands his
wife money without being asked she
wonders what kind of mischief he has
been up to. ~ g..
