She Got a Broom.

asked the broom peddler, according:
the Chicago News. "I'll give you a fi
broom for some old clothes."
"I'm busy now," said the woman
the house. "Not today."
She began slowly to close the doi
but the peddler displayed one of 1
brooms?a gorgeous, wide-spreadi
one with a varnished handle and bou
with green plush.
"Just a pair of old shoes," plead
the peddler.
"Wait *? moment," said the worn!
and closed the door, carefully putti
the catch on. Then she went upsta:
and rummaged through some clos<

whicji she brought down and offer
to the peddler.
"They're badly worn," he said.
' "Of course they are," said the w
man, briskly. "If they weren't I'd we
them myself. Do you want to trade r
a broom for them?"
The man smiled mournfully, and pr

"Certainly not," said the womai
"Give 'em to me."
"Haven't you any others?" asked t
peddler.
"No, I haven't. I don't need a whi
broom. I want a carpet broom."
The peddler examined the sho
again. Then he said: "Well, I'll gl
you a carpet broom for the shoes a:
a quarter."
"I won't do it," said the woms
"Give me back the shoes."
"Well, 15 cents, then."
"Oh, well," said the woman, "I su

She closed and bolted the door aga
and went upstairs for her pocketboc
from which she extracted a quarti

he handed her a small broo
without any plush upholstering.
"Here," said the woman, "I want th

on The Foot Astray.?William F.
Cody was once relating a story which
if concerned an Indian who had met
en with an accident in a Buffalo Bill
ie- show. It was necessary to amputate
ay 'he Indian's leg. and in the description
of this operation Cody was interup
upte I frequently by a young doctor
who injected technical and medical
,va terms into the straight vernacular of
as the scout. He was irritated, but igve
noted the doctor. "A few days after
ne the operation." continued the narraer
tor. "the Indian learned that his leg
had been buried. With a whoop he
leaped from his bed and jumped upon
the doctor with both feet."
"Jumped with both feet after ,an
operation?" shouted the doctor, exulting
in his exposure of the great scout's
absurd story.
"I said upon the 'doctor with both
feet,'" explained Cody, "in order to
distinguish him from the other hospital
physician, who had only one foot,
having put the other into people's affairs
so often that he lost it."
WISDOM OF KING SOLOMON.
How He Exemplified It In the Presence
of the Queen of Sheba.
"Here is the legend of the visit of
the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon,"
said the Pascagoula Diogenes in the
rotunda of the Great Southern Hotel
Gulfport, Sunday. "The queen reigned
over a people that lived on the border
of the Red Sea, who were the richest
in Arabia. They were represented
as leading an idle life, owing to the
abundance of natural produce of their
country, which.afforded the sustenance
of life and also frankincense, myrrh,
cinnamon and balsam that gave them
an extensive commerce with other nations.
"The queen, owing to the splendid
reputation of King Solomon, whose
power and wisdom had spread to the
remotest parts of the world, visited
him at his own court. Presenting herself
at the foot of his throne, in each
of her hands she held a wreath of flowers?one
composed of natural, the other
artificial. Art in the labor of the
mimic wreath had exquisitely emulated
the lively hues of nature, so that at
the distance it was held by the queen
to exercise the sagacity of the monarch
for his judgment it was deemed .
impossible for him to decide which
wreath was the production of nature
and which the work of art. Solomon
o mnmont rvornlaYPfl VPt tO be
vanquished by a woman irritated his
pride.
"An expedient presented itself to the
king by a swarm of bees on the outside
of a window, which he ordered
opened. The bees rushed into the court
and alighted on one of the wreaths,
while not a single one fixed on the
other. Sheba was baffled and was convinced
of the wisdom of Solomon.
Such is the story handed down that
the bee only rests on the natural beauties
and never fixes on the painted
flowers, however inimitable the color
may be laid on.'"?New Orleans Times
Democrat.
NO USE TO WHINE.
A Truly Medical View of a Very Disagreeable
Trait.,
There isn't anything more disagreeable
in the world than a whining person.
He whines If it is hot. He whines
If it is cold. He whines at this and he
whines at that, he whines at everything.
Whine, whine, whine. It is
just a habit he has fallen into. There
is nothing the matter with him. It is
just a habit.
The whiner is generally an idle person
or a lazy one. What he needs is
to be set to work, mental or physical.
Some work that will Interest him and
engage his whole attention, and he will
not have time to whine. We know two
women. One of them does her own
housework and takes care of her horse
besides. She is happy and singing all
the day long. The keyboard of her
life sounds no whining note. It is a
pleasure to be with her?a good wholesome
tonic to watch her. The other
woman is ' so situated that she does
not have to work. Nothing to do but
to amuse herself. She has no zest in
life, no interest in anything. She is a
bunch of selfishness and whines at everything.
Whining has become such
a habit with her that her most casual
remark is tinged with a whine. She is
miserable herself and makes everybody
else in her presence miserable. She
is a weakling, a parasite, a drag, a
heavy weight on somebody all the
time.
Get the whine out of your voice or it
will stop 'the development and growth
of your body. It will narrow and
shrink your mind. It will drive away
your friends; it will make you unpopular.
Quit your whining; brace up;
go to work; be something; stand for
something; fill your place in the universe.
Instead of whining around, exciting
only pity and contempt, face
about and make something of yourself.
Reach up to the statute of a strong,
ennoDiing niannooa, to me oeauiy u-uu
strength of superb womanhood.
There is nothing the matter with
you. Just quit your whining and go to
work.?Medical Talk.
FILTHY COLON.
Panama City In Which Only the Mosquito
Enjoys Life.
It is perfectly true that without its
trade across the isthmus the state of
Panama would be a very quiet little
community. But the people of the
place gladly take advantage of the
trade that the isthmus affords, and ac- 1
tively engage in every kind of business
that seems likely to bring profit.
But this is when the citizen of Panama
can live away from Colon or Pan- '
ama City. For at no time can they be
called healthful places or desirable localities
for residence. Colon was never
intended as a site for a city, for it is
a mere sand spit a mile long and a
mile wide. At an expense of $5,000,000
causeways have been built connecting
the town with the main land, and
that is how the town is able to continue
its existence.
The streets, though they have been 1
improved of late, are often impassable 1
in wet weatner, ana wnen ary, senu up
huge clouds of choking, foul-smelling
dust. Around the town are a large ;
number of stagnant pools and lagoons,
which breed the deadly malaria germs !
that are so fatal to unacclimated travelers.
Sickening odors assail the nose
at every turn. Even the dogs and I
monkeys look hopelessly forlorn and
unhappy. One never hears a hearty j
laugh in Colon, nor is a cheerful face
to be seen anywhere save when some 1
one is hurrying to board a steamer or
a train to get away from the island. ]
The only thing that seems to enjoy I
life at Colon is the mosquito. They I
come in swarms. They enter every l
place. They will bite through the <
thickest clothing that one can wear in ]
the tropics, and at night they have a I
clever way of getting under the netting i
and making things exciting for their <
victims.?Brooklyn Eagle. <

Little PolKs
The Goose's Dinner
"There Is nothing I love better than
a nice fat goose," said the man who
lived In the city.
But be bad no goose and not enough
money to buy one.
"I know what I shall do," said he to
himself. "I shall buy a gosling and
feed him well until he grows to be a
goose, and then I shall eat him."
Now, a gosling is only a baby goose,
and he'was able to buy one of them
for a few cents.
He fed the little fowl carefully, and
the gosling grew. Within a week he

bad doubled bis size, and in another
week he was much larger.
So he continued feeding the gosling,
and the gosling became a goose and
still kept on growing.
"I shall have to ask some of my
friends to dinner the day we kill the
goose," said the man to his wife, "for
we can never eat all of this fowl
alone."
And yet the goose grew, and the man
decided to invite all of his friends and
all of his neighbors' friends to the
meal.
When the day finally arrived for the
dinner, the goose was larger than the
man, but the man went out with a
hatchet to chop his head off.
"What are you going to do with that
hatchet?" asked the goose.
"I am going to kill you and serve
you at a big dinner."
"Oil. you are, are you?" cried the
goose. "Weil, I guess not. I want a
dinner myself, and I am just going to
cat you."
And he gobbled up the man Just as
you would swallow a spoonful of broth,
and that was the last of it.?Detroit
Journal.
THE PEOPLE OWN THEM.
The Millions Who Are Directly Interested
In American Railways.
"In one way or another the people
of the United States own the railways
of the United States, and something
like 2,000,00 persons, through wages,
Interest and dividends, divide twothirds
of their gross earnings of $1,726,380,267
(1901-2) among them, and
the other third goes for fuel, taxes, supplies
and equipment." This statement
Slason Thompson, head of one of the
bureaus and the General Managers' ascociation,
with headquarters in Chicago,
was led to make as a result of replies
to the question, "Are there a million
owners of railway securities in the
United States?" received from thirtynine
of the leading railway companies
of the country. These roads represent
107,640 miles out of the 202,471 of single
track mileage in the United States.
They gave the total number- of stockholders
on their books as 191,387.
"This is pretty nearly equal to two
stockholders of every mile of railway,"
says Mr. Thompson. "The ratio on the
Illinois Central, as given by Stuyvesant
Fish, is a little over two to one. On
some of the railroads the ratio rises
to three to one, and in. two cases as
high as eight to one, while in one case
the ratio swung as far as one to six the
other way. Applying two to one as the
ratio, would give 400,000 stockholders in
round numbers of the 200,090 mile? of
railway in the United States as owning
$6,024,201,295 of capital stock, as reported
June 20, 1902. Assuming that
the $6,109,981,669 funded debt is as
widely distributed among bondholders,
the railway ownership would appear to
be held in something like 800,000 hands.
But, large as these figures are and approaching
the total of railway employees
(1,180,315) as they do, they by no
means represent the total of those Interested
in railway ownership. The figures
given are for registered stock,
and. as the comptroller of one of the
largest systems wrote: 'It is very probable
that the number of actual stockholders
is twice as great as the number
of registered stockholders.' Then there
is the holding of railway stock by insurance
companies, savings bank and
trust companies, extending their ownership
among thousands. And what is
true of these institutions as to stocks
is also true as to railway bonds?only
more so."
President Stuyvesant Fish, of the
Illinois Central railroad, at the recent
annual meeting of that company, presented
statistics showing that one year
ago the company had a total of 7,128
stockholders, and among them were
5,599 persons who owned less than 100
shares each, and who, combined, owned
{13.152.000 of a total capital stock issued
amounting to $05,038,400. During
the year the tolal number of stockholders
increased to 8.647, out of whom
G.728 owned collectively $15,947,600.
This shows that the increase of 1,519
in the total number of stockholders
came mainly from the small investor.
It is a matter of considerable importance
that the people residing along
the lines of large railway systems are
becoming more and more financially interested
in these companies, as evidenced
by the fact that 2,218 of the
Illinois Central stockholders reside in
the twelve states in which the company
has lines, and 1,324 are residents
:>f the state of Illinois, the home of the
ompany.?From Railway World.

Who are now walking Golden streets.
And you must pay as well as pray
If you expect to go that way.

rri HE workmen In my shop thorX
oughly understand the massage
treatment for the face. When the
skin of the face looks yellow and refuses
to act properly, the massage will
clean the pores and restore healthy
conditions. Massage is good at all
times. Try it once. My shop is next
door to the First National Bank.
PAY UP.
OWING to the recent death of Mr.
E. B. Beard, of our firm, it has become
necessary that our business be

owing, or which may mature hereafter.
