SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE JUDGE
Therefore the Buyer Of Antiques OBJ
talned tho Old Fender for
Hall Price.

Eben Googins keeps small, lit
tered shop on Main street. His mod
est sign reads, "Second Hand Fur
niture," instead Of the more impos-
ing legend, @Antiques," but his un-
derstanding Of the psychology Of the
antiquary is worthy Of a wider field.
'eWhat is the price of this?" asked
customer, braced for the conven-
tional war Of words with pawnbrok-
era and antique dealers, whom she
had grown expert in beating down.
But her challenge did not draw the
conventional retort from Eben. He
fingered the wrought-iron fender she
had unearthed from between a mas
sive and valueless yeneered high-boy
and a broken spinning-wheel, and
said, with a covert and calculating
eye upon her:
'Did you ever know Judge Allen
of Foxcroft?"
Judge Allen, the great man Of
little town, who had inherited
widely famed collection of antique
furniture, and had enlarged it gem
erously, was known to the bargain
hunter by reputation only.
"You were not acquainted with
the judgep Then the price of the
fender is So"
"But whyP" asked the bargain
hunter, wondering whether she was
being favored with an example Of
Yankee humor or Yankee shrewd-
ness, and bewildered by this abrupt
method Of closing trade.
eff you had known the judge"
Eben enlightened her patiently, with
a sly CLEAN reminiscent Of past tri-
umphs in his faded eyes, II could
have asked you six"

ATLANTIS.

The island Of Atlantis belongs, if
not to the realm Of pure fable, to the
realm Of uncertain tradition, which
amounts to about the same thing.
Spoken Of by Plato and other clas-
steal writers as Iying over against
the Pillars Of Hercules" (the strait
Of Gibraltar), no one has ever been
able to give any definite information
concerning il. The story belongs
to the most nebulous region Of his
tory, and is probably nothing but
fiction. If the great island cover
against the Pillars Of Hercules" had
ever existed there would certainly
have been some definite knowledge
concerning it.

TEAMWORK POPULAR.

II Is to my mind a matter of
profound significance that our col
leges and universities betray such
enthusiasm over team games. At
these institutions one would expect
the spirit of scholasticism to be
dominant. One would suppose that
the high prize Of public admiration
would be given to those who COM
petsd most successfully in scholar
ship. ] do not wish to minimize the
honor Of scholastic distinction OF the
rewards Of those who win it, but /
wish to call attention to the fact that
The man who viii live longest in the
hearts Of his comrades Is the man
who, playing in a team game, wins
glory and renown for the college as
q whole. He does not win as a bril-
liant player, primarily, but as an
organic part Of the unit-the team.
The individual record-breaker in
running and jumping wins no such
position in the hearts of his fellow
students as the man who success
fully leads team to viotory.--Ldp-

American Fruit Consumption.

Statistice for 1909 show that the
apple crop of the United States was
worth sS3,O00.O0, peaches S2S.000.000
grapes s22,O00,OO0. and Strawberries
$l70, 900, oranges reaching the sane
large figures. The people OF the Uni
ted States consumed 100000 OF
plums and prunus. S7,000,000 OF pears
and cherries and s500O,000 OF the rasp
berry.
One OF the curious features of this
production of fruit has been the less
ening of the apple crop. which in the
past decade. with a growing popula
ton. has decreased from $4,000. 900 &c
100, 100000 barrels. On the othe- kard
