A QUESTION* OF STANDPOINT.
The number of artists in Chicago i
was increased recently by the arrival 1
of one from a distant city who during
his leisure moments strolled about the i
downtown streets seeing the sights. i
Passing a store where a number of
paintings were displayed in the window
he stepped inside to look about.
Standing before a landscape about
10x14 inches in size he assumed the
manner of an admirer of art, and
awaited the approach of the proprietor.
The latter advanced smiling and
rubbing his hands. He grasped the '
visitor cordially, and said:
"You are an admirer of paintings, I '
see." '
"Yes, to some extent," was the reply.
i
"That is a pretty bit of scenery," 1
the dealer returned, "that you are
looking at there?that little clump of j
green trees and the red house. It has <
a charming atmosphere about it, don't
you think ? With the frame, just as j
it is, we are asking only $15 for it. j
Now, that over there, is a companion .
piece ; same size, same frame. Now,
if you would like to buy the pair," he
continued becoming very earnest, we '
could let you have them for?let me 1
see?take them along for $25." !
"Well, it is evidently a fair price,
but the fact is I don't want to buy
them ; I am a painter myself." '
"Oh, you are an artist," smilingly 1
remarked the dealer. "Well, perhaps
you would like to do some painting 1
for us ?"
"Oh, I don't know; perhaps so. 1
But what do you pay for a canvass
like that?" indicating the small pic- j
ture under discussion. j
"Well," replied the dealer, becom- j
ing confidential and stepping up close
to his caller, "that is a cheap painting,
and if you can paint them fast you ]
can make good money.
"Well, what do you pay?" asked
the artist, impatiently.
"For that size we are paying eight
cents."?Chicago Journal.

"Now, boys, I have a few questions |
in fractions to ask," said the teacher. (
"Suppose I have a piece of beefsteak i
and cut it into 16 pieces, what would ,
those pieces be called ?" "Sixteenths," j
announced one boy, after meditating a
moment. "Good. And when the sixteenths
were cut in half, what would
they be ?" There was some silence in ;
the class, but presently a little boy at
the foot put up his hand. "Do you
know, Johnnie?" "Hash," answered
Johnnie, confidently.?N. O. TimesDemocrat.
Getting Along Well Together.
"Can you oblige me with a sheet of
paper?"
"Yes."
"And an envelope?"
"Yes."
"And a postage stamp ?"
"No, but here's 2 cents."
"Thank you; that will do just as
well."
"Don't you want me to bring you a

"I'm afraid it will be too much trouble."
"Not at all. If you'll wait around
here half a minute, I'll call up the
postal department at Washington."
"May I ask what for?"
"I'm going to request them to put the
postoffice on wheels and have it follow
you around."
"How kind ! I am afraid this package
is a little heavy for one stamp.
Haven't you 2 cents more?"?Cleveland

HeNkeded a Shave.?He bad been
out so late the night before that he
did not know at what hour he had
come home. When he awoke, he was
curious to learn just how "rockey" he
looked. He accordingly reached out
for the silver backed hand mirror that
lay on the table beside his bed.
Instead of the mirror he got hold of
the silver backed hairbrush. Not recognizing
his mistake, he took the brush
up and gazed at the bristles for a
moment. Then he felt for the silver
back and then stared back at the bristles.
"Good heavens," he murmured at
last, "but I need a shave!"?San Francisco
Argonaut.
The One Exception. ? He?To
hear you tell it, one would think I

received to justify a prediction
that the crop will approximate 2,500,000,000
bushels. The first corn crop
of the country to reach in round numbers
2,000,000,000 bushels was that of
1885. Including the crop now to be
harvested only nine crops of 2,000,000,000
bushels or over have been produced.

PROFITS IN GOAT RAISING. r
In the year book of the United States I
department of agriculture, Mr. Almont ?
Barnes, of the division of statistics,
"On Keeping Goats for Profit," sug- E
gests that raising common goats may 1
be made a paying business in some por- 1
tions of the United States. The de- 1
mand for dry skins in this country now v
requires the annual slaughter of over e
16,000,000 goats, while in the United e
States only about 500,000 goats are c
raised. The imports of skins for the 1
year ending June 30,1898, were valued c
at $15,776,601. Mr. Barnes thinks a 1
large portion of the unimproved land E
in the south Atlantic, central and *
western divisions might be profitably r
devoted to goat raising, though cheap
labor would be required. This can be 1
had wherever there is a large Negro ?
or Mexican population. E
Mr. Barnes reaches the conclusions : *
1. That the United States imports a j
large and steadily increasing amount 11
of goat skins for necessary use in home I
manufactures. s
2. That there is an aggregate area x
of 265,000,000 acres of unimproved c
farm land in the United States, a large I
part of which is adapted to goats. a
3. Over 61 per cent, of this unim- 1
proved land is contained in the south E
Atlantic, south central and a part of *
the western states, where the condi- c
tions are more favorable than the aver- 1
age as to labor and climate.
4. These favorable conditions are c
emphasized in much of the district by a
reason of the abundance of cheap la- 1
I JrvArvnlot inn ^
uur uue IU a ucuso xiC^iu puj/u.wv.w-,
5. The testimony of all goat raisers
confirms the special and favorable conditions,
as relates to Angoras and to c
goats for milk. !;
Altogether, it is concluded that it
would be easy and relatively inexpen- 0
sive to furnish the home market with 1
the goat skins now imported to the ?
value of $25,000,000 per year. 1
Plant Wheat.?A farmer writing c
to the Macon Telegraph tells how any j
farmer cau make wheat enough for c
home consumption, and why he should <i
make it. He says: "An ordinary a
farmer can spare two acres of land ; t
let him take this land, turn it well L
with a plough in September, and about v
three or four weeks later put ten bush- 1
els of cotton seed broadcast, also j
broadcast 200 pounds of phosphate,
sow his wheat crop on this land with t
a turning plough shallow, all ploug- t
ing to be well done, insuring the c
ground to be well broken. This will e
make about 15 bushels of wheat per c
acre. Two acres tried in this way ]
will furnish about six barrels of flour [
at a cost about five dollars. To buy [
this flour in the market would cost j
about $30. i

should have a box kept iu a safe and 8

bandage from half an inch to an inch
and a half wide (these may be made '
from a worn sheet), a roll of adhesive 1
plaster for cuts, a wide-mouthed hot- ^
tie filled with common baking soda 8
for burns, a bottle of witch hazel for c
bruises, a roll of absorbent cotton to f
use in covering the chest when there 8
is a cold there, pieces of flannel to ^
wrap around rheumatic joints, and last, '

WILLIAM J. BRYAN. m
cl
en Sketch of the Most Prominent Demo- y(
crat In the Country. pt
ames Creelman In New York Journal. aI
Mr. Bryan is one of the least imulsive
men in America. The common
idea of him is that he is governed a
i all things by his emotions. Noth- ^
ag could be further from the truth. m
lis habit of mind is orderly and delib- jjj
rate, and he is usually desperately
low in making decisions. Of all the fr]
saders of the Democratic party as it
xists today he is, perhaps, more labo- be
ious and careful, more studious and be
lore suspicious of issues that originate or
a popular clamor than any other. rfl
This statement may surprise men 8U
yho look upon Mr. Bryan as a mere ja
lassionate orator. But it is the simple jn
ruth. His political passions are pas- rj(
ions of what he conceives to be priniples.
This is the key to the Bryan ^
f today. He is conservative rather g
han radical, fundamental rather than n(
radical. e>
Since his nomination in 1896 Mr. w
Iryan has grown graver, broader,
leeper. He has lost what there was cr
him of sectional feeling, and looks t0
o the swarming east to help the c]
outh and west in its struggle against a]
he abuses of corporate wealth in poli- jc
ics. He is more national in his point
f view. Today be seems to under- jj,
tand that a man may disagree with
lim on the currency question and yet m
>e a sincere Democrat, accepting the p(
arty creed as a whole. 0j
Although I have not been a sup- jg
orter of Mr. Bryan, I am convinced w
y personal contact with him and by C(
ay knowledge of what he has accom- a,
lished and is accomplishing now that fa
hree years have changed him from a
ectional leader inspired but enthrall- gt
d by a single idea into a many-sided, ni
esponsible statesman. His patient
act, his courageous devotion to prin- at
iple and his power of compassing coo- a,
idence in his honesty are gradually m
eunitiug the Democratic party. re
Let no oue be deluded by the idea p,
hat Mr. Bryan does not understand rfl
arty politics in all its ramifications,
should say that he is at this moment
he mo9t astute politician in tbe United
States. Think of the most extraordi- Su
lary ability and knowledge required
0 hold in union the Democratic, Popilist
and Free Silver Republican par- jyj
ies; think of a defeated candidate jy]
vho can for three years, without pow- \\
ir or place, hold the attention of the fe
ntire nation, speak boldly and with- ^
>ut reserve on every public issue in a a,
itne of constant excitement, and yet m
tot make a single political blunder; in 3
bese three years be has become more jn
noderate in speech and less rhetorical, p,
le is reasonable rather than dictatoial.
C(
1 speak of him as a profound and mas- r(
erful politician, because that is the w
ide of his character not generally un- 3
lerstood. Neither Senator Hanna, ai
'resident McKinley, David B. Hill, t,e
Arthur P. Gorman nor Richard Croker 3
s in the same grade with him as a V1>arty
politician. He seems to rule 3
vitbout threats, without promises and
vithout money. He is building up an 3
irganization that will compare in com- p,
ileteness with any that has existed 3
ince the Civil war. He is determined 3
hat his party shall go into the next m
:ampaign in a fluid condition. If Mr.
Jryan has a serious fault as a politi- m
;ian it is bis inability to yield, or seem
0 yield. 9
His personality is something phe- ei
lomenal. He dominates everything ^
ibout him. In this respect he unfor- jr
unately resembles Mr. Cleveland ; but, jy]
inlike Mr. Cleveland, he trust9 the 0j
lommon sense of the common people. 3
dr. Bryan's deep religious convictions
:ontrol him in bis attitude toward tbe jr
nasses. He firmly believes that the ^
land of God is always present in the 0,
iflairs of men, and that it is a part of m
he Divine plan to work out every >p
;ood thing through the average mind ; jr
n other words, through the majority, bi
No unprejudiced man can travel jE
hrough the various states today with- 3
tut recognizing the facts that Mr. y
Iryan is much stronger and much
Dore firmly intrenched in tbe oonfi- 9I
leuce of the multitude than he was
it any time during the last presiden:?1
sin rw.i rvn U a id tllO IIITirAmP
itw vamjmi^u, uu iu i"v y^
mcballeuged leader of his party. But p,
vbat has most impressed me is the w
arge and constantly increasing follow- g,
ug he has among business men now. jj.
His refusal to engage in personal at- y(
acks on the president, his decent and tg
lignified manner of speech and his j,j
pposition to a national policy of for:igu
adventure seem to have broken y
town the prevailing distrust among _
egitimate business men. The truth
s that Mr. Bryan is today the great
tarrier against state socialism in ij
America. Were it uot for his unceasng
labors, his open and real sympahy
for the millions who sutler in the
badow of remorseless corporate greed,
uid his power of convincing the des- H
>erate and desparing that their cause R,
ian be wou without overturning the rs
>resent order of government, state a?
ocialisra would be kindled iuto life.
Hundreds of thousands of men who
ook with kindly eyes upon govern- lo
neut coutiscation of trust as a relief
or the present top-heavy, unequal ai
:ondition of the nation have been
Irawn iuto support of the Democratic
mrty through their belief in Mr. Brym's
sincerity. He bridges a great gulf.
k> long as the original conditions, tenleucies
and opportunities of the repubic
existed there were no signs of
ocialism to be seen. Mr. Bryan's
ise into national power is tne last
irotest of old-fashioned continental
Americanism against the new order of ^
hings represented by McKinleyism, q
rusts and imperialism. e(
Much as I personally dislike and
listrust the silver idea, I am compell- S(
id by force of facts to recognize in Mr. it
Jryan a really great man, a stubborn ^
md uncompromising champion of a
Mistaken financial policy, but a statesnan
and putriot who loves and beieves
in the pluiu people. Much has
>een written and said about Mr. Bry- i
lu's failure to make a national name
uid a great fortune as a lawyer, but it m
nust be remembered that he was only
!3 years old when he was admitted to
he bar in an Illinois town, and that he
;ave up the practice of law seven }
/ears later and entered upon a politi-1 al
tl career?yet twice during that pead
he made himself self-supporting,
ice in Jackson and again after his reoval
to Lincoln. Besides that he deined
to accept a salary of $10,000 a
jar from the Standard Oil company,
eferring to live more economically
id fight against the abuses of such
rergrown corporations.
He has a much more solid record as
lawyer and business man than Present
McKinley. For one thing, no
an has ever been called upon to pay
3 debts, and I personally know that
) has helped many an unfortunate
iend out of his troubles.
Another fact about Mr. Bryan has
(come known since 1896?he cannot
( used by other men?he is not weak
invertebrate. He is the master
,tber than the servant of those who
irround him. It was said in the
st campaign that if this unformed
experienced youth from the praies
of Nebraska should be seated in
ie White House his every act would
j dictated by cranks and fanatics,
ut today the whole nation can wit;ss
in every part of the country the
ddences of this man's indomitable

I am quite sure that if the Demoatic
National platform should fail
i meet his convictions he would deine
to be the Democratic candidate,
though he would vote the Democratticket.
My own judgment is that he will
ive no rival in the National Convenon,
and will be nominated by acclaation.
It is too soon to express a
isitive opinion regarding his chances
' election. But I should say that he
much more popular thau when he
as last a candidate, and that if the
irtest is to be between Mr. McKinley
id Mr. Bryan the present prospect
vors Mr. Bryau's election.
It is a long look ahead, but at the
ime stage of events preceding the last
ational conventions I succeeded in
;moustrating to my own satisfaction,
, least, Mr. McKinley's nomination
id election, and I do not fear to
ake a prediction now, with all the
iserve arising from the fact that a
rophet can never hope to be as accuse
as a historian.

MR. LAWRENCE S. HOLT, of Burlington,
N. C., is recognized as one
of the most reliable, conservative and
wealthiest business men in North Carolina.
He was one of the pioneers in the
manufacture of cotton in the South after
the war. He is a policy holder in the
, MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSUR,
ANCE CO., of Newark, N. J., as well as
in all the other leading companies, there- i
fore his unqualified endorsement should \
have weight with those contemplating ^
, insuring their lives. Read what ne says .
in a letter addressed to the State Agent
for North Carolina. 1
Burlington, N. C., April 22.?Dear
i Sir: lam tins ciay in receipt 01 my policy,
No. 149,Ci39, in the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co., of Newark, N. J.,
for $20,000 on the ten payment plan. I '
commenced insuring my life some 15 =
years ago, and have examined the various
plans and companies. The Mutual Ben- *
etit I have carefully looked into, and in
consideration of its age, great strength,
economical management, large divi- '
dends, and especially the many liberal
features of its policy, I pronounce it
the most desirable like insurance
, i know of. Yours truly,
Lawrence S. Holt.
I Colonel Julian S. Carr,
! The millionaire tobacco manufacture of i
' Durham N. C., has $25,000 insurance in <.
\ the Mutual Benefit?all it writes on a j
1 single life?and he is equally as strong in ^
' his endorsement of the company, as also j
1 is Mr. John F. Love, of Gastonia, N. C. t
| Mr. L. A. Vaughn, of Winston, N. C., j
' and who sold tobacco in this section twen- c
' ty odd years ago, says: "Before insuring s
I examined plans of not less than twelve t
different life companies, and I can say s
that I firmly believe the Mutual Benefit's m
. contract is head and shoulders above
them all." I have in my possession the
letters of endorsement from all the geutlemen
named as well as many more.

PHOTOGRAPHY
IS AN* ART
A ND it takes an artist to be a photoex.
grapher. One who is not an artist
loesn't stand much of a chance of makng
a success at photography. I have
jiven years of study to this especial line
ind I can say with pride that my work
vill compare favorab ly with that of any
jbotographer in this section.
The best and most perfect photographs
ire the results of experience and not exjeriments.
I do all of ray developing,
-etouching and finishing, thereby obtainng
the best possible results.
As Far As Prices
:Vre concerned, you need not worry yourlelf
along that score. I know that my
>rices are reasonable and you will agree
vith me when I tell you what they are.
[ am also prepared to develop and print
jictures taTken with pocket cameras. If
mu have a Kodak or Vive or any other
lamera, and for any reason you can't develop
and print your pictures, bring them
