Earle, manager Of the furniture sec.
ton Of the Famous department store
at Rockton.
Yes, they say he's a crackerjack!
Going to double up trade in a month
and ruin all business rivals in the
district"
These two townsmen casually
echoed what was constantly current
among the excited and expectant en-
ployes Of the great mercantile estab.
lishment under general discussion.
The proprietor of the Famous, Ira
Stein, was a plunger. He had in
herited some money and had started
the biggest department store ever
known in the district. Already there
was the Enterprise. which filled the
local bill very comfortably, but Stein
was a pusher and hoped to soon
corner all the trade, Of the section
He had done some bold and amazing
things, he drew custom, and Merle
Wharton, his young manager, had
carried out some bright ideas. Then
Stein happening to visit friend who
had made a great success in the big
city, came back to Rockton with more
expansive ideas in his mind than
ever.

Seeds Carried by Birds.

The way in which feathers and
other foreign matter will adhere to
and accumulate around the seat Of
injuries to the feet Of birds Is we'll
known. The most famous case is that
quoted years ago by Darwin.
This was that of red legged par
fridge, which was found to have ball

around one of it's feet. After soften
ing the earth a number of seeds were
removed therefrom and sowed No
fewer than so plants came up, repre-
senting at least five species. This ex-
pertinent demonstrated one of the
many ways In which birds may dis
perse seeds.

Rlnderpest In PHILIPPINES.

Rinderpest, the dreaded cattle dis
ease. has broken out again among the
Philippine herds. Its principal dam
age is done among the carabao. The
stock cattle are now comparatively
few, and flourish on the remote
ranges among the foothills. But the
carabao are the chief reliance of ag-
riculture In the islands, and abound
wherever there Is cultivation OF the
soil or the transportation Of crops.
The disease is now reported from the
most important agricultural prov
inces, and the death rate among tie
draft, cattle Is very large.

send him on as soon as he got him.
One day there alighted from the
train brisk bustling young man who
might have suggested the circus

the sophisticated. Rural Rockton,
however, swallowed him whole. He
was arrayed In the latest style, wore

1t took the newcomer, who named
himself Roger Lane, about an hour
to convince the merchant that he was
the one man in the world who knew
how to get all the customers and
money the district had. He even
flashed card showing that at one
time he had been advertising man for
the rich friend of Stein in the city.
That settled 1t for Stein, who was too
hypnotized to think of finding out why
this rare jewel of efficiency had left
such important employ.

Lane
"Oh, certainly, certainly. leave it
to you," Stein fastened to say.
Expense must be no object. I'm
going to wake up this dead town. As
business doctor, I first want to go
over the establishment and see what
kind of working timber you've got"
There was one man who demurred
at the sky rocket schemes Of the
new conner when he had outlined his
plans. This was Merle Wharton. He
was. a valuable employe or the house,
but Lane was peremptory.
He'd kill my good work with his
conservative back-country IDEAS"
Lane told Stein, SO Wharton was told
to go.

Nerves in the Marriage Game.

In the June American Magazine a hus-
hand, who has had 20 years of married
life, tells the story of his experiences.
On the subject of nerves in the marriage
relation he comments as follows:
I was extremely ignorant of women
aud their ways, and more ignorant of
nerves. lndead nerves were an item in
the marriage relation that / never had
considered, and it was years before the
relation of nerves to marital happiness
became known to me.
st takes the average man a long time
after marriage TO realize that his wife
is a human being, much like himself,
with the addition of some nerves, some
superstitions, some preludiees, and some
finer emotions of which he knows little
or nothing. Not many men have reached
the state of marriage in as complete ig-
norance of women as | did. | had been
rather bashful and shy with them as a
boy and toe busy to pay much attention
to them as man. Living in cities in
which l was a stranger | had no oppor-
tunity 10 meet the nice ones and no in
clination to associate with the other
kind. Being strong, healthy and normal,
] knew nothing of nerves and had scant
patience with their various manifesto
tions, ordinarily attributing phenomena
due to nerves to other causes"
