A Profitable Reduction.

The capitalist knew that the new company was spending too much money: also he knew that in some way they had got to put stop to it. So anxious was he to reduce expenses that he offered his private secretary $o5 a month extra if he could find a way to cut down current expenses.
 The young man Overhauled his ac- counts. but he failed to find single expense that could be judiciously cut down. Just as he was about to give up the promised increase in salary it occurred to him that he was already getting $9O n month. Trimming over with enthusiasm. he sought the capi talist.
 "I have found a way" he said. You can save $1O a month on me. I have taken that amount of my salary"
 It took the capitalist just about a tenth of a second to see that the young man was still $15 month ahead, but the bargain stood-New York Times.

WEIGHING A PIG.

It Was . PsrpIexins Problem, but the
 Farm Lad Solved It.
 A Massachusetts boy has solved a problem which ought to be of interest to all farm youngsters. If you had a pig and wanted to weigh him, but own ed a pair of scales recording only twelve pounds. what would you do about 1t?
 This eastern farmer boy had enter cd a pig in a contest conducted by the agricultural department and had to keep monthly records of gains in weight. but he suffered the handicap described above. His solution was a credit to his ingenuity.
 The boy nOtched high board fence. put a long pole evenly across 1t, resting in the notch, and fastened a crate to one end of the pole and box to the other. He put sand in the box until the pole was exactly balanced. Then he enticed the pig into the crate by means of corn. fastened him and put small stones into the box until the pole again balanced. These stones he weighed on his little scales, load after load, and their total gave him the weight of the pig.
 That boy when he grows up may in vent the much talked of substitute for gasoline. - Des Moines Register and Leader.

sAcPlPes ARE ANCIENT.
Scotland Didn't Adopt Them Till the
 Fifteenth Century.


 Neither Scotland nor Ireland can claim to have invented the bagpipes. Greeks, Romans. Assyrians and Chi nese all played bagpipes of sorts long before the time of Christ. and the in strument actually figures on one of the coins of Nero, who may have played it. The Breton bignon, the Calabrian Zam- pogna, the German sackpfeife and the French cornemeuse are all bagpipes under different names.
 It was actually a Scotsman and no less a man than the lord advocate of the time who publicly declared fifty years ago that "the bagpipe is an Eng fish instrument, essentially English. The English were the original bag pipers." He pointed out that, while Shakespeare often speaks of bagpipes. he never does so in Macbeth" and that it is in Lincolnshire and York shire that he localizes the pipes. To Chaucer and Spenser also they are English. James W. and other Scot tish kings paid for "Inglis pyparis' at their court, while Edward l., Edward III. Henry VI. and Henry VIII. seem to have had native pipers.
 The highlanders never used the pipes in war before the fifteenth century. The harp was Scotland's instrument London Chronicle.

TAXES ACTION ON
 APPROPRIATION
CHAMBER SENDS TELEGRAMs
Messages Are Sent to Secretary Lane, Secretary Baker, Senator Chamber lain and Others Asking Road Mon- ey Be Appropriated.

An interesting meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held Sat urday evening in the office of Dr. Mer- ritt, president of the organization, at
 which action was taken regarding the cutting out of the Alaska road appro- priation in .he military bill by the lower house of congress. Following a discussion of the matter the secre- tary was instructed to send several telegrams to officials in Washington. protesting against the elimination of the road appropriation and the fol-
 lowing telegrams were framed and sent:
 A message to Secretary of the Inte- rior Franklin K. Lane stated that the
 appropriation for roads was absolute ly necessary to the progress and wei fare of the territory and that mining and other industries of the country
 would receive the west setback in the history of the Territory. The work of the Road Commission was en- dorsed, and the secretary was urged to use his influence to have the ap-
 propriation reinstated in the Senate. A telegram was also sent to Secre- tark of War Baker in which the work of the Road Commission was strongly
 endorsed, and the Secretary urged to use his influence to have the appro-
 priation reinstated in the military bill. i To Senator Chamberlain of Oregon.
 chairman of the Senate Committee on
 Military Affairs, telegram was sent setting forth the necessity for the ap-
 propriation, endorsing the work of the Alaska Road Commission, and urging the Senator to use his influence to have the appropriation reinstated
 in the Senate.
 A telegram was also sent to Sena
 tor Knute Nelson of Minnesota, a well-known friend of Alaska, askinS his assistance in securing the rein
 statement of the appropriation ill tn"
 Senate. The necessity for the appro-
 priation was set forth.
 A message to the Alaska Bureau of
 the Seattle Chamber of Commerce was also sent, asking that body to use
 it's influence with the Congressmen
 of Washington and other Pacific Coast states tO have the auDrODriatiOu replaced in the military appropriation bill
 Much indignation was expressed by
 the members of the Chamber at the attempt to punish Alaskans by with drawing all appropriations for roa Is and trails; many prominent men be- ,ieving that the abandonment of work on our roads would seriously hamper the development and output of mines and mining in the Territory.
