GOT HEMLOCK SEED CHEAP
Engishman's Snrewd Scheme for Pro-
curing Drug That Commanded
Good Price on Market.

Mr.. Pickwick's valet and all-around
servant, Samuel Weller, whose linn
tied acquaintance with physicians and
apothecaries did not hamper his fes-
tive Imagination in the relation of med
ical novelties which were heard with
wonder and amaZement by Mr.. Pick
wick and his friends, should have had
in his repertoire the following from the
London Garden: Every autumn a
man used to bring to a wholesale drug
house in London a quantity of hem
lock seed which he sold at half the
ber of the house at last becoming
aroused he asked the man how he
could afford to sell the drug so cheap
ly. After being promised that nothing
would be done to interfere with his
business he described his method.
Every spring he filled his pockets with
the seed and went out into the coun-
try. Wherever he saw good wide
hedgerow he sowed the seed broad
cast. Then he went his way and wor
ried no more over his crop until the
fall, when he revisited the scene of his
labors. He would then call the farm
er's attention to the "weeds" in his
hedge, offering to cut them down for a
shilling a hedge, an offer which the
farmer gladly accepted. Thus was the
ground furnished free and he was paid
to cut the harvest.

CAPTAIN GOT NEW TROUSERS
Incident That Has More Than Touch
of Comedy Occurred on the
lsonzo Front.

How near tragedy and comedy are in
the happenings along the battle line
is shown by this incident of the fight
ing on the IsonZo river front.
A Caproni fighting aerOplane that
had gone from the Italian side was hit
by the antiaircraft guns and fell with
in the Austrian lines. The pilot was
killed, the observer was somewhat
scratched, but otherwise unhurt. His
trousers, however, were ripped "from
A to H.
Captain Amegliano, the captured fly
er, was incOnsOlable, and to an Aus
trian officer who sympathized with him
he said:
my poor comrade will be buried
and l cannot even pay him my last re-
spects-not in this gear"
IF that is ALL" remarked the Aus
trian, ''we'll soon mend that" And,
after obtaining permission, he went
up in his Fokker machine and threw
a letter into the Italian line, acqaint-
ing them with the fact, and request
ing "a pair of new trousers for Cap
tain Amegliano."
Sure enough, an hour or so later
there was an Italian machine high
in the air, and package dropped that
contained laurel wreath for the dead
and pair of trousers for the living.

Carruthers, they used to call him on
the Platinum Exchanged stood to
reason that he wouldn't stand for his
associates shooting down strikers and
their wives and children in cold blood,
Birsky. The magazine owner also
says to the author that he should
ought to be ashamed to write a story
where an American mine owner paid
foreign mine workers such miserable
wages, y'understand, and that for
writing such an exaggerated and un-
true story he couldn't give the author
the regular amount for the story, but
paid him $35 for 1t, which the author
figured was at the rate of &c. an hour
for his work. Later the magazine
owner got to like the story better, so
naturally when them Colorado mining
people reads on the front page of the
magazine that THE Guilty Dollar is
a marvellous, gripping, genius-inspired
story of the Iowa Platinum Mines,
y'understand, and is mastery and
accurate study of the problem of min
ing capital and labor, they want to
find out what it Is about. First the
Acting General Manager reads it and
says to the Second Assistant Vice
president: what some people wouldn't
do for money! And to make a note
in the story they used machine guns
on the strikers. When the Second As
sistant Vice President got through
with it, he said that feller who could
imagine such rotten state of affairs
in any big industrial community was
tiger in human form and made
memorandum of the bull-ring idee, the

strikes, and then he passed it on to
the Head Actuary and says to him
that no wonder people hated the trusts
when such lies were allowed to be
printed about them, and that he
should look over the story and report
tomorrow morning at the latest what
could be done to equalize the wages
of the foreign mine laborers out in
Colorado with the foreign mine labor
ers in the story
"Aber don't people get no good idees
out of magazine stOries?" BirSky
asked.
"Well," Zapp said, Il myself got a
couple designs for waists from maga-
zine covers and I figured 1 made five
per cent of the regular cost of the gar
ment or the goods 1 didn't use in the
neck and sleeves"
"You could have made more than
that if you would be as sparing with
dress goods as the artists that draws
some magazine pictures" Birsky said.
'If lady would select the kind and
amount of clothes that some maga-
zine artists thinks plenty sufficient for
their pictures, and if she would wear
such clothes on Fifth Avenue, Zapp,
before the patrol wagon arrives, she
would attract a crowd of twenty thou
sand people"
But there wouldn't be no magazine
readers among them," Zapp retorted.

liberal idees in the matter of dress
and etiquette, Birsky. Yes, Birsky, a
lot of people have changed their way
of living from reading magazine sto-
ries. Some of 'em moves into other
neighborhoods on account Of it. Take,
for instance, Sam ZarOdnik of Zarod-
mix and Karpas, in the fur business
and Sam tells me he is going to move
from Sth Street to Goth Street"
Its funny how people changes"
Birsky said. "Ten years ago when Ia
rodnik & .Karpas signed checks, Kar-
pas wrote the Zarodnik and the Kar-
pas, and it was as much as Sam could
do to write the and Yet nowadays
that feller is reading magazines yet"
what are you talking nonsense
Sam Zarodnik reading magazines"
Zapp exclaimed. "Sam couldn't even
read electric signs in words of one
syllable, like Lunch and Cafe
said he was moving away from Sth
Street on account of other people
reading magazine stories, Birsky,
which if you read anything from mag
azines, Birsky, you would know it
that every magazine has got in it at
least two stories where the scene is
laid in a studio close to Washington
Square, and what nearly happens in
them studios, according to the stories,
Birsky, has created such a demand
for studios close to Washington
Square that all the furriers and cheap
clothing contractors has got to move
away from there; and the old run
down houses they used to occupy is
being made over into studios and filled
with magazine readers at rentals
which a furrier or a clothing contrac-
tor would consider high for sprinkled

light on three Sides"
"Aber what does all the people want
studios for?" Birsky asked. "They
amt artists. are they"
The Ely miner., 1916-11-10

Listen, Birsky," Zapp said. "If all
the people which rented studios in
New York was artists, y'understand,
the competition in the picture painting
business would make the cloak and
suit business look like it was run by
virtuous monopoly. AS a real es-

Value of Work.

Idleness standing in the midst of
uninterrupted tasks is always tending
to humility. Work touches the keys
of endless activity, opens the infinite,
and stands awestruck before the i'm

sure we all know the fine, calm, sober
humbleness of men who have tried
themselves against the tasks of life.
