An automobile manufactures tells OF
n bright young man i'm his employ who
came to him not long ago for raise in
pay. He was valuable workman. but
he was already getting what his en-
ployer considered fair salary.
How much do you expect and what
do you want ii for?' he asked. you
have no family responsibilities and
should be able to save money on what
you are getting now"

BARGAINS IN TITLES.
Plenty Of Foreign Countries Whsre
You May Find Them.

Although foreign countries do not
openly advertise their readiness to do
business with those who aspire 10 afiix
handle To their names the fact is
generally recognized that consider
able traffic In titles is carried on
The tiny republic OF san Marine,
which does a roaring trade in titles Of
nobility at fixed rates. devotes great
part OF the profits TO the maintenance
of its founding and orphan asylum.
1t will make you and all your heirs or
only your male heirs. if such is your
desire. duke for 5000 or an earl for
S3.IJ0.
An idea OF the traffic done in titles
may be gathered from the fact that a
German firm trading in Sweden sends
out circular marked Private and
confidential" offering TO secure any or
ders and decorations required.
The orders OF st George vary In
price in different countries In Sicily
it costs S3I5 and In Bavaria more than
twice ms much. but YOU may become a
knight OF Montenegro for as little
as SD
The king of Greece does rather n
prosperous business with the Order OF
the Redeemer. which can be had for
$3.50. while Servia bcstows the Order
OF Takova for like sum. The Prince
OF Monaco has for disposal the Order
of the Star. for which he asks SlT5. and
for $50 less one can secure the Order
OF the sun of Nasr-eddin from the
shah OF Persia.
Although titles cannot be bartered in
England. il is, OF course an open Sc
cret that n generous contribution to
political funds often naves the way to
n place in the pccrage. Apropos OF
this. il is Interesting TO note the fact
that Franz Kossuth, the son OF the IA
nous patriot. charged the Hungarian
government with receiving no less than
$1.450.OOO by selling baronet titles.
Another phase Of this traffic in titles
Is revealed by carefully worded adver.
tisementS which have appeared in Lon
don papers from time TO time. offering
for sale the titles OF impoverished no
Bile families Of France. 1t is not so long
ago since three titles. two OF which
were French-one n count and the 9th
or marquis rcspectively-and one OF
an Austrian prince were put up for
sale i'm London. the prices ranging
from 100000 No 0,OO0.-London

SLEEPING CARS IN AFRICA.
They Are Not Too Clean and the Con-
ductor Makes the Beds.

Describing railroad travel in South
Africa. l.. w Howe in his Monthly
says;
Soon after the train conductor look
ed at our tickets he proceeded to lug
two huge bags of bed clothing into our
compartment and make up two beds.
We paid Sl20 for the use of the bed
clothing two nights; the charge would
have been the same for one night. So
that we will have "A large compart-
ment to ourselves two nights and a
day and pay only $l.20 above the reg
uar fare. The beds were comfortable,
though somewhat narrow, but we slept
as well. ! imagine, as people usually
do on Il sleeping car. On our door and
on our window were pacards announc-
ing that the compartment was reserv-
ed, and we were not disturbed during
the journey. When this reservation
placard is not displayed any one has
a right to a seat or bed in compart-
ment that is not full.
The South African sleeping cars are
not at all bad. except that the train
conductor has so much To do that he
cannot keep them as clean as they
should be. The conductor did not pol
ish my shoes ut night, but | knew he
was very busy and overlooked his
neglect.
II wish the naughty conductors of
American passenger trains could see

see our tickets. which cover nearly
5000 miles of travel and read from

ION one or two trains we have been

ductor has had no help whatever In
making up the beds; the most curious
thing | have ever noted in railroad
travel. There Is guard on the train.

This double edged saying. which con-

good example of Douglas humor,
which always had in it n peculiarly
Vermont quality IL is said that Doug.

mont is a good state TO be born in, a
