A CYCLONE YARN
the Louisville Herald.

From the Louisville Herald.
 A cyclone is not such bad thing, after all," remarked the portly sales man as he settled himself comfortably in his chair. "One saved $5 for me once.'
 How did it happen?'' asked a lounger.
 sI was in little town out in Kansas s about two years ago and wanted to get to another small town, Is miles distant There was no railroad between the two points, and I was standing in front of the livery stable arguing with the iiv- eryman, who wanted s5 to take me and my sample cases over, when a cyclone came along and, picking me up, landed me right in the little town to which l wanted to go."
 "E,h-hbw about your sample cases? ?' faltered an awed listener. ''Oh,"- suavely replied the salesman ''the cyclone landed them just ahead 0! me and had my goods all spread out or. display when got there."

The famous Liberty bell of Philadelphia, which will be exhibited at the San Fran cisco fair, and will begin it's trip across the continent the latter part of this month, is 162 years old. When the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 patriotic Americans, July 4, 1776, the tidings were proclaimed by the Liberty bell, which was then g years old. It was cast in Phila- delphia in 1753 and has remained in that city ever since, except for three trips away from home. The bell was taken to Allentown. Pa, in TIT, to prevent it's fall ing into the hands of the British. It fig LII ed in the centenary celebration of New Orleans and was a feature of the World s Columbian exposition in Chicago in 1S9S For more than 50 years the Liberty bell was rung in celebration of 1ndependenoe Day It finally cracked under the strain and all efforts to restore it's tone proved statehouse tower, later placed on the wooden timbers that originally supported it and made a sort of shrine for patriotic Americans to visit while in Philadelphia It was reported recently that the crack in the bell was spreading and a sup port was made to relieve it of all aneces- sary strain. The bell weighs 2oS0 pounds.

PASTOR USES RED PAINT m the New York Sun.


 Greencastle. Ind.-The Rev. Julius Pfeif- fer who has charge of the Patricksburg circuit in the Northwest Indiana Meth odist Episcopal conference, is using a brush and liberal quantities of paint to advertise himself all over the circuit.
 At all the crossroads he has painted his name and the time of his meetings in big red letters. He says "balks' and .kickers" and threats will not go with him as long as he is on the job.
 One of his familiar phrases is: q am on the job to stay; must see the thing through. If you want the soft, taffy kind of preaching, I am not the man to give 1t to you. As long as l am here 1 am going to talk about big God. who has a broad, humanitarian platform and who really makes folks do something,"
 MT. Pfeiffer says his business is 'pick- ing up' since he started his advertising scheme and he ''expects to be running his shops on full time' by June 1. He de- sres to double his output by Septem- her 16

Iron Market and southern Crop.

A better feeling this week. and more new business" is the way Matthew. Addy X Co.'S Cincinnati letter starts off,
 Nothing very significant but a steady run fair order and a distinct improve ment over the recent record. The general feeling is expressed by the phrase of one of our customers when he said, thing are coming back
 "The merchant furnaces-that Is. the furnaces making pig iron for sale to foundries-have not had the same large tonnage as has gone to the steel com panies which produce their own iron. These latter companies are getting busier and buster. They are having the great bulk of the war orders. Probably more than nineteen-twentieths of all ths war orders so to the steel makers So the foundries and merchant furnaces which supply them get only a significant frac- ton.
 Our representatives this week havo been all over the south and middle west. All their reports agree as to the remarkable crop showing. Everywhere the grass and wheat are wonderfully good and few days now of typical hot. dry weather will make the harvest sure. All other crops are coming along unprecedently we'll In Tact, they report that they never saw such promise of overfowing harvests. In contrast to the condition of the crops is their report as to the business situation in the towns and cities where there is he's itation and disposition to wait on the future This, however is not now as much in evidence as was the case month ago."

Villa, Man of the People

Tn an interview given to newspa- per man four months ago General Villa said. "I never want to be Presi- dent of Mexico. 1 realize my unfit ness" This seems to be the keynote of the mans character. Rough, unedu- cated and forced to depend on secre- taries to have even a telegram read, it is astonishing how much he has ac- complished. Perhaps his suspicious Indian nature, troubled by what he does not understand and kept ever alert by the possibility of deception, which would seem to be easy, has guarded him from trickery on the part of his subordinates.
 There is probably not man in Villas entourage who is not better educated than himself. There are cer- tainly many Mexican officers allied with him who have more education and more polish than their uncouth leader could ever hope to have. This man who has been dominant figure in Mexican affairs is still a 'primi- tive human being"
 For almost a year Villa has con- trolled both the civil and military af- fairs ef territory as large as that part of the United States east of the Mississippi river and north of the Mason and Dixon line. He has accom- plished wonders in short time, yet he carries the details of his work "in his head" Books and records give him no help, because he cannot refer to them.
 Villa will always be what he has been in the past, man of the people. He is the idol of the poor in northern Mexico, but his distaste for cere- monies makes him receive their hom- age with an awkward, shamefaced bearing. While the gorgeously clad dignitaries of his suite are showing themselves to the crowd gathered at a station to welcome Villas private car, he is apt to be as far from the celebration as he can get, perhaps dandling a peon's baby on his knee and singing doggerel song.
 Whatever the future may hold for Villa, he knows quite as well as any body else that he cannot be President of his country

Theory And Practice.

1t is really amusing to read some
of the advice that is thrust upon
the farmer each week, through the
press, telling him how and what to
do and what not to do. They will
give him extracts from farm jour
mails, give them as editorials too,
which may be all right for the far
mer of the North, East or West, but
are just as inapplicable to the far
mer of the South as are some Of
their copied obituaries a fitting tri-
butte to the memory Of our dead.
There is an old saying that the
man who knows least about a thing
can Re depended upon to be the
first to give advice concerning it.
