"Mrs. Russell, do you know the vain of the waste in this country ever year?" asked the major after consuli ing a battered city directory for couple of minutes. ' "I know that such rascals as yo beat me out of at least $200 ever year." "The money value of the waste is hundred million dollars every yeai The Economic company will save a much of that waste as possible. 1 will gather up castoff clothing, boot and shoes, foods, played out umbrellas bottles, tin cans and so forth.

CREDITOR WAS DETERMINED. 8ut the Grand Promoter and General Organizer Was Equal to the Occasion and Came Out on the Ground Floor. [Copyright, 1906, by M. M. Cunningham.] Major Crofoot, grand promoter of grand enterprises, sat in his office with "just enough fire in the stove to keep the ironwork warm. He had counted the money in his pockets and knew that he had exactly 80 cents. Had his financial standing been figured it would have read: "Assets, exactly SO cents. "Liabilities, about $4,000. "Expectations, unlimited. "Nerve, same as usual. "Pigeons, scarce." Major Crofoot was waiting to promote somebody or something when "the doob opened and the xnockebess WALKED IN." there came a knock on his door. It wasn't the knock of a woman suffering with the toothache and who wanted to inquire for the dentist upstairs, nor yet the knock of a creditor who was coming in to say that if his bill was not paid that day he would begin a lawsuit It was a knock that bothered the major for a minute, and before he could make VP his mind exactly what to do the door opened and the knockeress walked in and bowed colcHy and sat down. The major recognized her at a glance as his old landlady?one of his old landladies, one of the ones to whom he was indebted in the sum of about $30./ His mind was instantly made up. He gave her no chance to refer to his perfidy in walking off as a debtor, but said: "I see, my dear Mrs. Russell, that you got my little note of yesterday and are here on time. I am glad to see such promptness on your part. It shows me that I have made no mistake in appointing you secretary of the Great American Economic company, capital $3,000,000." Wants Money Que Her. * - J i "I got no note from you yesterday," she1 replied. "I haven't heard from you since the day you walked out of my house, and that's two years ago. I saw you on the street half an hour ago and followed you. You owe me over $30, and I want it!" "No note from me! Dear, dear me! The messenger must have gone to the wrong house. I wrote to ask you to call at this hour, and all night long I was thinking of what a pleasant sur- ' prise I had in store for you. It surely must be the hand of Providence that guided you here." "You may as well leave out the blarney and fork over my money. I have got a lawyer who will put you in jail if you don't pay." "My dear, dear woman," said the major as he fixed himself anew in his chair, "there was a time when I was in financial straits. Such periods are sometimes referred to as a person being stone broke or on his uppers. I had the ambition, but not the opportunity. While waiting for the opportunity I wandered into your well kept caravansary. You cast your bread on the waters?that is, you took me in without money and without, price, trusting to my honor to pay you in the future." "I never did anything of the kind, sir!" exclaimed Mrs. Russell. "I tohl you the front room upstairs and board ( would be $8 per week, and you said it was cheap enough. I couldn't get a cent out of you, and after four weeks you skipped out. You are a bilk and a deadbeat, sir, but I'll have my money or know the reason why!" "You had confidence in me, my dear woman, when others had not, and I determined that whep the time came I ? 1J . wvuiu icyav ;uu a uuuuicuiuiu. xuai time has arrived. I could draw you a check for $3,000, but I propose to do even better than that. As I said, I have just organized the Great American Economic company. I want a secretary at $13,000 per year, and the place is yours. As you leave this office for home I will accompany you as far as the Twenty-eighth National bank and there open an account for you to the amount of half your first year's salary. Tomorrow we will see about your horses and diamonds. I shall want you to drive to and from the office, and the larger diamonds you get the better I shall be pleased. Do you write a sloping or back hand?" Won't Stand For Blarney. "That's nothing to do with the case," the retorted. "You owe me a bill, and I want it, and all your blarney will go k Four Wounded in Bace Biot. e Lynchburg, Va., April 4.?A pistol y battle last night between four negroes t- and three white men resulted in two ? whites and two negroes being shot, one of the latter being mortally ^ wounded. An approaching street car was riddled.

Among my mai this morning was a letter from Kin Edward of England, in which he say he will save at least a million dollars worth of old shoes for us every yeai It is the biggest richest thing in th world. All the gold mines of Colorad put together can't equal it. Can yoi dictate to a stenographer?" "I'd like to know what all this tal1 is about!" angrily replied the cred itor. "I tell you, sir, it won't do. Yoi played the sneak and skulked on me and now you've got to pay that bit Will you do it now?" "My dear old landlady, it pains m to observe this aggressive dispositioj on your part You sheltered me. Yoi trusted me. You had confidence in m when the rest of the world turnei coldly away. I am a man who cai never forget a kindness, but nov; when I would requite you"? "Why didn't you come back and pa; up like a man?" "Months and months ago, when th tide had turned with me and the mil lions were rolling in, I started fo your house with a check in my pockel I anticipated taking you by the han< and telling,you how glad I was to b able to pay my debt. Almost at you door I met Jones?Jones of the cocl eye?and he told me that you had mai ried a French count and gone to Pari to set up a steam laundry. That wa the sole reason why I retraced m; steps. I haye tried in vain to get you Paris address. Are you just in o: the steamer?" Her Last Request. "You know better. You know tha you are lying to me. I ask you one more and for the last time, will yoi pay that bill?" "Certainly, my dear?certainly, only wish it was larger. Do you rt fuse the secretaryship?" "I do." "And you don't want horses an diamonds?" "I don't" "And you won't come in on th ground floor?" "No, sir, nor any other floor. I'l take the money for that bill, and the I'll leave you?no check, but the col cash." "It is hard, woman?it is hard ir deed to have one's financial hono doubted, but I must forgive you. A you will not take a check I will ru upstairs and get the photographer t cash it. I suppose $40 will straighte the matter out?" "Yes, sir." i "If any one calls tell 'em I'll be bac in three minutes," said the major as h disappeared through the door. The landlady waited fifteen minute and then began to shiver with the colc She waited fifteen more and then b( gan to walk about. When three-quarters of an hour ha passed she looked out In the hall. At the end of an hour she kicke over two chairs, tore the calendar o the wall and knocked down the stovi pipe and went downstairs. Some folks might have waited a winter, but Mrs. Russell knew whe to let go. 4 M. QUAD. Innocent.
