Dayton had a bad limp on him as he
arose from the dust Of the road.
You've done it now-b'gosh you've
done it," shouted the farmer as he
hung to the fence.
"Yaas," drawled young Dayton, with
an accent that would have done credit
to q Hindoo In London.
"And why In the devil were you
here Instead of somewhere else?" de-
manded the chauffeur.
There was more jawing. and there
were some awful threats made. By
the great horn spoon, and the little
brass spoon. and various other spoons,
that farmer wanted $500 damages. and
wouldn't take q cent less. He spoke
Of warrants, arrests. sheriffs, jails and
state prisons, and he was still speak
ing when the auto limped on.
Young Dayton never settled things
on the spot-not even when he bought
cigarettes. There was q suit for dam.
ages.
A week after the accident Miss
! Mollie Dayton, who had the honor OF
being the sister Of Mr.. Clarence, at
tended a lawn party. At the gather
ing she was introduced to George
Graham, and they were very con
genial. Being asked about the acci
dent, the girl made a good witness or

had been told about It, and then she
had something to add. Clarence hnt

Causes Of Unhappiness.

The worst kinds OF unhappiness, as
well as the greatest amount OF It,
come from our conduct to each other.
II our conduct, therefore, were under
the control of kindness, it would be
nearly the opposite of what it is. and
so the state OF the world would be
almost reversed. We are for the most
part unhappy, because the world Is an
unkind world. But the world Is only
unkind for the lack Of kindness IN US
units who compose it.-Fredertck VII.

prove more than match for the 9TH

III he does I'll shake hands with
him and send him all the cases l

Up to the day the suit was called
the efforts to get young Dayton to
change lawyers continued, but he was
firm. On the date set, father. mother.
brother and sister were on hand at
the court house. and presently Miss
Mollie got surprise that opened her
eyes. Her brothers attorney proved
to be the Mr.. Graham she had talked
with at the lawn party. Yes. he was
the young lawyer who was to plead
his first case. Bushes galloped over
the girls cheeks as she remembered
how she had maligned him. and II he
looked her way he found her looking
another.

"You know you agreed to shah

Washington, D. c., Nov 30.-Pros-
perity prevailing in the southern
states was reflected to-day in reports
of business conditions from all the
population centers. Heavy early buy
ing presages fuller Christmas stock
ings than in several years at the close
of an autumn season during which
regular trade has been unusually
heavy.
Farmers in the South having re-
ceived good prices for big crops have
been spending money more freely
than at any time in recent years.
Their prosperity is being shared by
merchants in every line.
A sure index of the improved bus
mess conditions in the South are the
remarkable bank clearings of the
larger cities during the past month
or more.
For last week Memphis reported
the high water gain in clearings, an
increase of $50 per cent. over the
same week last year. Atlanta report
ed an increase of Az per cent, while
every city which reported from the
South showed gains of almost similar
proportion.
The restoration of cotton to a solid
| price foundation, more diversified
crops and economy in production are
declared by business men to Be lead
ing factors in the improved eondi-
tons, More foodstuffs were raised
by Southern planters than ever before
and thus much of the money which
went elsewhere for necessities of life
in other years was kept at home.
The South has not profited direct
ly from war orders as have other
sections of the country, it is said
but some lines of trade have received
an impetus because of the war. Fol
instance, knitting mills have beer
working night and day, according tc
reports, manufacturing the cheaper
| grades of hosiery which formerly
bore the familiar trade mark "made II
