The Riqht Sort.-The row over the
appointment of an Americanto be gen.
eral manager of England's Great East
crn railway recalls the story of the
manager of great American railway
who made a tour of inspection of the
stations on his line.
The time of his coming being pretty
we'll known, he found every station a
very hive of industry, everybody con-
nected with it working like mad. There
was one exception. At one station he
found the station agent, in his best
clothes, sitting in front of bright fire,
smoking a cigar and reading the news
papers Everybody else about the sta
ton was working hard, but there was
an air of peaceful repOse about the
agent which seemed to indicate that
he, personally, never did any work.
Are you going to sack him?" whis-
pered one of the men who accompa-
MED the manager.
Sack him." exclaimed the manager.
Certainly mott"
But why not?" asked the other in
surprise. He's just sitting there and
getting others to do his work"
MY friend" said the great manag-
er, impressively, the man who can
persuade somebody else to do his work
while he himself sits idle-well, he's
the man for my money!"

ondescension.-This year it is eX'
pected that the king of the BelgianS
and the king of Greece will be admit
ted to the exclusive Order of the Gar
ter.
One recalls Lord Dufferin's story OF
the French station master who ap-
preached him with a request that ne
would obtain for him a British decora-
ton of some sort Most of the royal
ties who had, so to speak, passed
through his hands had conferred on
him various stars" and crosses" but
though he had several times been re-
sponsible for the safety and comfort OF
the British sovereign, he had received
no decoration in return.
But most of our orders are given
for military distinction or to civil SER
wants." Lord Dufferin explained sooth-
ingly. For example, the Bath, the
Star of India, and so forth"
The stationmaster looked very glum.
There is, however" his lordship
continued, "one order that is given
for no particular merit or service-the
Order of the Garter"
"Ah, WELL" said the station master
"I suppose 1 must be content with
that"

Bargain Hunting.-An amusing story
is told in connection with the early
DAYS of Sir j. B. Robinson, the South
African millionaire, who has been fig
uring prominently in the London law
courts.
He was crossing the Vaal river in
1869, looking for diamonds. He asked
the natives if they had seen any 'pret-
ty stones" and at last he found man
who had a diamond 1t was small
stone, and the prospector offered him
$50 for it, but he refused to part with
it. He increased his offer to $50, but
still the man refused.
What will you take for it?" he was
asked.
Twenty goats" was the firm reply;
nothing less"
Il sent off to the nearest farm" says
Sir ]. b. Robinson, in telling the story,
"and bought twenty goats for $3.50,
and so got possession of my first dia-
mond."

A DisIoyal Parrot.-The doorkeeper
at one of the places the king ana
queen of England were expected to
visit had two pet parrots-one rather
stupid and the other very intelligent
and talkative. Very carefully he taught
the talkative parrot to say: God save
the King" in honor of the royal visi-
tors, and the parrot was so delighted
with the new phrase that it would say
nothing else, repeating it at break
neck speed every time anybody looked
at him. The other parrot, on the con-
trary, refused to say word, maintain
ing a cold and dignified silence.
When their majesties arrived, and
were passing through the hall where
the parrots were kept, the talkative
parrot suddenly screamed: "Godsave-
the king! GodsavetheKing! GodsaVe
theKing!"
Instantly the other parrot, having
disgustedly turned its back on the roy
alties, crOaked out: SILLY ass! Shut
up"
King George roared with laughter.

Bouquet for Chas. A. Smith.-There
is one thing we admire about Hon.
Charles A. Smith, candidate for gov
ernor, and the gentleman we expect to
vote for, it is his manly speeches, their
is none of the demagogue in what he
says, nothing Of the glittering bait to
catch votes but there is frank state
ment, and throughout his speeches
Charles A. Smith gives his hearers the
impression that he Is prompted by pa
triotic motives in seeking the high Of
flee Of governor. He approaches it as
one who has served in the ranks and is
entitled, on merit, to promotion. He
has served in the lower house, then
presided over the senate with distinc-
ton, in these two positions he served
an apprenticeship for the gubernatori-
al chair. If Charles A. Smith is made
governor of this state we feel sure he
will give to the people wise and an
economical administration.-Man

Tho Need Of Thrift.-If you doubt
that this nation needs new birth in
thrift, consider these facts:
We spend sS.4OO.OOO a year for Gig
arettes.
We drank 100000 gallons of
whisky last year.
We chew up over $25,OOO.OOO worth
of chewing gum annu lily.
Last year the American people paid
out $9O,OOO,OOO for candy.
These figures and many more like
them are the measure of what is
largely extravaganza.
We could do without very large
part of the things represented by
these enormous figures, and be just as
well off.
But it would be useless, If it were
possible, to shut off such foolish eX-
penditures suddenly unless the money
so saved by individuals were put to
good use, either by the savers them
selves or by the bank in which they
deposit the money.
This brings up the point which is sc
often raised by persons who fail to
see an economic good in saving.
/ They say that the spendthrift gives
employment to others and that his
money gets into the banks eventually
even if he deposits nothing Of it there
himself.
That is all very true, but how much
better it is to have the money used
constructively in ways which means
sobriety, industry, home-ownership
integrity, good citizenship and educa-
ton of children. Saving just for the
sake of saving is not advocated
Thoughtful, purposeful saving is the
thing-From the Oklahoman.

Not a Professor.-Will Crooks, NJ. T.
during his visit to Australia, was told
a story about an Australian politician
who was walking along a country road
when a farmer, passing in a cart, stop
ped and offered him lift. The poll
tician accepted willingly, and as they
logged along the farmer cross-eXamin-
ed him as to his affairs.
And what are you in business?" the
farmer asked.
I'm not exactly in business was
the reply. I'm a professional man."
What profession?" was the next
question.
I'm a politician" replied the other
patiently.
"Politican!" explained the scornful
farmer. That's not a profession!
That's a disease!"

Newspaper Talk.

AS you may have noticed, when a
man is arrested for n crime, the news
rapers seldom refer to him as a crimi-
nal until he has been tried and con-
vcted. Before the trial they speak Of
him as "the alleged criminal"
There was once n green reporter
who broke that rule, and was called
down by the city editor. The C. e. said
in part: Never call a murderer a
murderer until the jury makes him
one. Always use the expression, al
legged or say, the called or the
supposed Don't forget this now, or
therell be n bright young newspaper
man out Of a job"
The reporter didn't forgot.
A day or so later he was sent out to
cover a social affair. The story he
wrote read as follows:
1T is understood that Mrs. Brown,
the alleged wife of Rev. H. T. Brown,
the so-called preacher, gave what was
supposed to be an enjoyable tea at
the place that is understood to be her
home, yesterday afternoon. 1t Is ru-
mored that so-called ice cream was
served with a substance supposed tC
be cake. 1t is understood that the hos
tess alleged figure was suspected Of
being clothed in n so-called taffeta
gown of elaborate design. Rumor has
it that the guests were attired in
gowns supposed to be in the height Of
fashion. So-called music was render
ed by Miss Brown, the supposed
daughter Of the hostess"
The copy reader was drunk and let
the story through. Three minutes af-
ter the paper was on the street a
bright young newspaper man leaped
from a ird-story window and lit "a
running followed by the fervid curses
and blistering epithets of a frantic

1t is reckoned that there are now
in the United States over 100000
families whose income amounts to
$1,000 or more per annum.
There are 100000 families whose
income is between $1,000 and $1,000.
There are 100000 families whose
annual income is under $1,000.
When it comes to money or its
equivalent in property it appears that:
Ten families possess an average of
500, 100000 apiece.
One hundred families have an av-
erage of 100000 apiece.
One thousand two hundred families
have an average of $6,OOO.OOO apiece.
Two thousand families have an av-
erage of s2,20O,OO0 apiece.
Three thousand families have an
average of $1.200,000 apiece.
Four thousand families have an
average of $1,OOO,OO0 apiece.
Thirteen thousand families have
an average of 100000 apiece.
Fifty-two thousand families have
an average of s15O,OOO apiece.
One hundred and sixty thousand
families have an. average of 5000
apiece.
One million families have an av-
erage of $3,500 apiece.
Nine million, five hundred and six
ty-five thousand families have an av-
erage of $3.50 apiece.
Approximately speaking, this is a
schedule of the wealth of the people
of the United States at the present
day. To any thoughtful person. it
will afford plenty of food for refec-
ton.
Many times it has been said that
George Washington in his day was the
richest man in the United States
But such an assertion will not bear
investigation. The PATRON Van Rens-
selaer, for instance, who at the
period owned small principality on
either side of the Hudson at and near
Albany. covering something like 900
square miles. was certainly far richer
than the Father of his Country.
But in those times fortunes of any
considerable size were few, and even
in the forties of the nineteenth CEN
tury, a man who had 100000 was
considered much wealthier than is the
millionaire of today. He could live

The population of New York city
ut that period was only 100000. ana
only II persons and &C estates were
credited with the possession of $1,OOO,-

first in the list with $25, 100000 Will

The total wealth of all the seven

ut the time at less than $15.OOO,OOO.
