Samuel J. TiIdents "BarreI."

Samuel J. Tilden was the first pres
idential candidate who used an i'm
moderate amount of money. He was
the wealthiest nominee that either
party ever had, "Girard" writes in the
Philadelphia Press.
During his campaign "Sammy's bar
rel" was a big issue. It was then that
.'barrel" came to have a sinister mean
Ing and referred of course to barrel
of cash for political purposes.
1t seems probable that Tilden spent
more Of his own money to be elected
president than was spent out Of the
pockets Of all the presidents since his
time. $500 s. ... ...,.
Washington was our richest presi-
dent, but he was hardly millionaire.
Most of them were not worth 500, 900.

Held to All Superstitions,

When the first missionaries visited
Marsovan, Turkey, the old Armenian
church members were Christians In lit
tie more than name. Their beliefs
were a mixture of superstitions with
Il suggestion Of Christian origin.
They feared the evil eye, and wore
charms to break it's power. They put
branches Of a ,horny plant over their
chimneys in the form Of a cross to
prevent witches from coming down
and strangling their little children.
They visited the graves Of saints and
offered prayers for relief from sick
ness, tying rag on bush nearby
with the hope of returning home leav-
ing their disease tied to the holy spot.

The look Of pain which took pos
session of Hannah's honest face
stopped the other woman's sentence
in midair, but she went on resolutely,
determined to get David away at any
cost.
"Of course, Miss Sawyer, since
you've been so kind to David, I'll be
pleased to have you go home with us
to visit, but I'm a pretty fair nurse
myself"
Hannah was quite unmoved by this
thrust and went about arranging to
be away from her boarding house for
a time. When David was able to be
removed in an ambulance to Mrs.
ComptOn's comfortable place outside
the city Hannah Sawyer went with
them.

house without even announcing her

She dreaded the question which she
felt was sure to come from her little
family of boarders, especially Joe Bar

peared demurely in their midst as
though she had been away only over
night.
"Yes-oh, yes-N1r:. Powell is much
better-yes-he asked to be remem-

battle ended. TO her surprise Joe

KEEPING SHEEP FOR MUTTON
There Are Many Areas Where Animals
Could Be Kept to Advantage
for Meat and Wool.

Sheep are not very generally kept on
farms for supplying the home family
with meat. There are many areas,
especially in billy or mountainous re-
eions, where nearly every farm could
keep a few mutton sheep to advan-
tage. Boys and girls clubs in some
parts of the country have done much
to foster home production of mutton.
Sheep naturally Craze over rather
wide areas and seek variety of plants.

WORRIED OVER OLD H. c. 0. L.
How One Man Many Years Ago
Worked Out a "SoIution" of
Present-Day Problem.

It is a curious fact that the high
cost of living seems to have been a
topic Of conversation from the time
when the memory Of man runneth not
to the contrary. Every age produces
alike it's lamentations and it's theoreti-
cal solutions of this problem. But few
men have been so ingenious as to
classify all the causes under - head
ings, as did the anonymous author Of
a mid-eighteenth century pamphlet
entitled: can Attempt to Discover the
Cause Of the DEAFNESS of Provisions
and High Price of Labor in England"
According to this analyst, the causes
reduce themselves to the following:
The enormous size of the metropolis,
monopoly, sample markets for grain,
large farms, blowing with horses in
stead Of oxen, post chaises and flying
stages, expectation Of grain, taxes on
necessities, tithes, public funds, in
crease Of money and rapid fortunes,
decrease Of industry among women,
the want Of a better plan for the
militia, the want of proper poor laws.
:, Many of his items appear familiar
to us today. Some Of them, indeed,
are our own pet reasons for the high
cost of living. But what on earth had
blowing with horses to do with the
case? Or, for that matter, post chaises
and rapid communication by means
of stage coaches? Perhaps, however,
in another 40 years some Of our ex-
plantations may seem equally ridicu.

Jay Rial was one Of the most unique

Mr.. Rial was familiar with industrial
conditions in every section Of the coun
try. He knew officials in every city,
and could tell offhand how much AL
toona, Pa, or Peoria, ILL.,, charged for
parade privileges.
Jay Rial believed circus folks were
Just as good in every respect as other
people, and he kept hammering away al
that idea in almost every advance no
tice he ever wrote. He had personal
ity that made itself felt the minute he
entered a newspaper office.
Before he went out ahead of the Bar
mum show, twenty years ago, Mr.. Ria
had engaged in theatrical enterprises
One of his first big ventures was roat
production of "Uncle Toms Cabin, y
which scored big success.
He tried gold mining in South Africa
and was in Australia with theatrica
