A WRONG GUESS.

This one was told AT recent dinner
by Gen Fred Funston which further
demonstrates that appearances are often
deceiving.
One afternoon an elderly woman no.
ticed a small boy standing in front OF
n prosperous looking house, with his
hands plunged deep in his pockets and
seeming utterly Indifferent to all about
him A short distance away several
boys OF his age were happily at play.
The woman addressing the youngster
in a kindly voice said: "Why aren't you
playing with your friends? 7 am sur
prised to see you standing here idlins
your time away on such a beautiful aft
ernoon,"
II am not idlng my time away" was

show labor at present is reasonably well
employed as a whole but among certain
lines of manufacture there is uneasness
expressed as to future. Comparatively
mild weather has obtained and retail
merchants In the larger places report
reasonably good trade; In certain cities
active buying Is reported while in others
trade is noted as a little quiet. Collec-
tons arc reported slow. as a rule. with
both manufacturer and retailer. In the
country districts roads are heavy and
travel is light. Some new building work
has boen started during the week and
the demand for material and supplies In
this line appears good, Joohers in painta
and oils report good sales, The shade

business is all that they can conveniently
handle at present. Other turned wood
manufacturers speak well Of conditions
orders for wood boxes and box shocks
are reported light.

knitting machinery is said fully as good
as usual, Organ manufacturers are well
employed and report new business com
Ing In well. Granite manufacturers are
pushing work on Memorial day orders
the amount OF business on hand in this
line is reported as above the average.
The rains of the past two weeks have

as resulting from freshets but It is be-
| lleved the extent of this damage is not as
| large as is usually experienced in the
