LARGE FLY IN THE OINTMENT
Successful Candidate Should Have
Been Happy, but There Were
Reasons Why He Was Not. r

~ suppose you're very happy, nov
that you're elected mayor? y
well, I can't say that ! am. I
thought would be, but it hasn't work
ed out that way" q
"But you got such a splendid vote.
It ought to make you feel happy to
think the people have such confidence
in you"
That is cheering, Of course. 1t Is
fine to know that the majority OF the
people believe in you. Still, I'm not
altogether contented"
81 can't understand 1t at all. Here
you've been elected to the highest
honor in the community; you have
splendid opportunities to do good
work; you may graduate from this po-
sition to broader service in the state,
and possibly from the state to the
nation. You ought to be happy If any
one Is"
'I know It. But I'm not. The fact
is l am up against it. I have four

service for me, and each one demands

HOW TO TELL FORTUNES
One Formula Can Be Made to Fit Almost
Everybody.

The way to tell peoples fortunes is to have
one list OF characteristics and to use It for every
one without the slightest variation. II is bound
TO succeed, For instance supposing FalsaN and
Hamlet had their fortunes told by the same
soothsayer | imagine he would have told Ham.
let's character as follows, Maurice Barring writes
in the Metropolitan:
You are not so fortunate as you seem. You
have great deal OF sense. but more sense than
knowledge. You can give admirable advice to
other people Your judgment is excellent as re-
CARDS others, but bad as regards yourself You
never value your own good advice You are
fond OF your friends You prefer talk to action
You suffer from indecision. You are fond OF the
stage You are susceptible to female beauty
You are witty. amiabe and well educated but
you Ike coarse jokes You are supcrstious and
believe In ghosts, You can make people laugh
You often pretend to be more foolish than you
your power OF apt repartee Your bane will be
your inclination TO fat, which will hamper you in
Fighting. You are unsuccessful as q soldier but
unrivaled as companion and philosopher You
will mix In high society have friends at court
You will come OF badly In personal encounter
and your final enemy will be king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the same
thing TO Fnlstaf, Doesn't II 1T him Just as well?
Can't you imagine Falstaf saying: "He has hit
me on to n T." and Hamlet murmurng my
prophetic soul" In fact. believe fortune tell.

CeyIon Tea.


Tea plantations in Ceylon have been
in existence only 80 years. yet the an
nual exports Of black tea amount to
nearly $20.000.000 in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main in
dustry. but after disease Of the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however, re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the Islands old prosperity revived. To
day Ceylon boasts $500 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation Is
costly, but very labor-saving. The
work itself is not hard; only the eli
mate makes it irksome. What is
wanted mainly Of employees Is to
watch machinery and feed 1t from the
stock Of tea leaves awaiting treat

Unpieked Grapes Go to the Poor.
A curious old law. which dates from
1779. has been used to sentence the
owner OF vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers, France, to fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering. when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law. as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police.

convicted.
