HAD REPUTATION TO SUSTAIN
Farmer Had No Idea Of Allowing
Hired Man to Beat Him in
Gathering Corn.

A Sullivan county farmer hired a
man to help him gather his corn at
season. Now, the farmer had a repu
tation for being an efficient worker,
but the hired man was not daunted by
1t. They started out side by side. the
hired man being advised by the farm
er to keep as close to him as he could
with the row he was gathering.
But 10 the new worker after a few
minutes of keeping up with the farm
er, passed him and soon was several
feet ahead Frantically the farmer
pulled the ears from the stalks, but
the new man still kept gaining. Then
all at once he heard the farmer shout.

soiIed Bills Help Banks.

The fact that nearly all paper money
in circulation now is badly worn and
soiied has been one of the reasons why
bank deposits have increased, says an
upstate banker who was in the city.
People like to handle clean, crisp
bills" he said, but are afraid of the
torn, soiled ones. There is always the
chance of getting some disease. Small
checking accounts have increased "a
good deal lately, and this Is undoubt-
edly one of the reasons for it. When
new bills come in again the accounts
may become fewer. But once people
get the habit of using checks they gen.
orally stick to it."-New York Sun.

prevailed upon by one of the sons Of

as Syrian lambs fleece.
This, when he returned to London,
he sent to his tailor with orders to

after he called to try on the coat.
"You didn't send us quite enough

He had 20 force himself to begin q

the first chapter was finished he wrote

these arduOus cOnhnements he found
relaxation in walking, prOwling for
hours through London streets or beat

along the KentIsh coast.
He loved his homes and he loved
England, but he also loved to travel.
He found Out-Of-the-way and quaint

Love Of Pictures Universal.

Mankind has always loved pictures.
Races, without written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures
that moved, 1t did not have to wait
long to see whether 1t would die or
flourish. A dozen years ago the mo-
ton picture business. as we now know
1t, did not exist. Today the Ameri-
can public supports 1880 moving pic
ture theaters, makes 5,000,000000 Wis
its to them a year and spends $780,
100000 annually for this amusement.
