tumorous department.
On Instalment Plan.?They were experts
in many things, but chiefly in
the art of bragging. At the moment
they were discussing their own wonderful
triumphs as vocalists.
"Why," said the American, looking at
his companion from the smoke rings of
his cigar, "the first time I sang in
public the audience literally showered
me with bouquets, flowers of every
sort, size and description. Bless you,
there were enough of them to fill a
flower shop!"
"Faith, an' I can beat that!" cried
the Irishman. "The first toime I sang
was at an open air concert, and, begorra,
the audience were that delighted
they presented me a house.
"What!" exclaimed the American.
"Presented you a house! You must be
off year head, man!"
"Not a bit of it," replied Pat. "I tell
ye, they gave me a house. True," he
added in a whisper, "they gave me a
brick at a toime!"
A Poignant Anecdote.?"The great
fault of American servants is familiarity.
To be familiar is to be inefficient.
A familiar cook is as inefficient
as a pessimistic doctor."
The speaker, Mrs. Boardman Harriman,
is perhaps the most brilliant conversationalist
in New York?a fact
which renders more poignant this anecdote.
"I had a cook," she continued,
"whom I tried to break of her over-familiarity.
What was the result? This
cook, discussing me in the servant s
hall, said:
" 'I don't say she's a bad mistress,
but she's a woman with only one ide-j.
She can't talk of a single thing but
eating."
? With a great sense of awe and importance
the young couple stood in
front of the parson, the new baby
comfortably slumbering in its mother's
arms.
Evidently with an idea of improving
the occasion, the new curate saw fit
to launch into a gentle homily on the
child's future upbringing.
"Who knows?" he finished up. "This
child may one day become a clergy
man like myself, or a brave soldier, or
daring sea captain. It is even possible
that he may one day become an illustrious
statesman."
The little mother's eyes had gradually
grown rounder and rounder.
"What name did you say?" said the
parson.
In a timid whisper came the apologetic
reply:
"Jemima Ann, sir!"
Wasted Sweetness.?"Lady," said the
Chicago heeler, "here a box of candy
to take home to de kids."
"Sir," said the lady voter, "candy is
deficient in proteids, contains an excess
of albuminoids and its use by the
adolescent is provacative of many infirmities
which we, as new members
of the electorate, are trying to eradicate.
Further more, your tender of
this package is in violation of section
3, 11, 44 of the criminal code, which
deals with attempted bribery, and
which carries a heavy penalty."
To which the heeler could only reply:
"Well, wot T'ell wot T'ell?"
Juvenile Frankness.?A clergyman
visiting a school near Windsor, and
trying to illustrate the meaning of
conscience, asked a class of boys:
"Supposing: one of you stole a piece
of sugar and put it in your mouth, and
some one came in?what would happen?"
"I'd get a thrashing," piped a small
voice
"Yes, but your face would become
red, wouldn't it? What would make it
do that?"
"Trying to swallow the sugar quick,
sir."
Conjugal Felicity.?A teacher in a
Liverpool school was trying to find
from a tiny child the name of his father,
says the Liverpool Post. He seemed
quite unable to think of it, so to help
him she asked:
"What do you call him?"
"I call him father," was the reply.
"Well, what does your mother call
him?"
The response was eloquent of the
manners of the neighborhood: "She
doesn't call him anything?she likes
him."
1 .
Succinct.?Representative Simeon D.
Fess of Ohio, believes in looking for
the brightest side of life; he is
"strong" for optimism. His distinction
between an optimist and a pessimist is
apparent in the following definition
which he sometimes gives:
"A pessimist," says Representative
Fess, "asks 'Is there any milk in that
pitcher?" But an optimist says, 'Pass
the cream.'"
Softly.?"He remarked that men are
but clay."
"Bright."
"And she asked him if that applied
to her."
"And then?"
"He replied that it applied to all.
And now his name is mud."
"She threw cold water on him, eh?"
?Houston Post.
W A railroad engineer was boasting
about the speed of his engine.
"Why," he said, "once when I had a
new fireman with me on run 32 he asked
me in a surprised way if that
wasn't a rather long white fence beside
the line."
"White fence!" says I, with a roar of
laughter. "That's no white fence.
That's milestones."
iti' "Who can make a sentence and
use the word 'income* correctly?" asked
the teacher of the second {trade.
"You may tell us, Johnny," indicating
a little boy whose hand was waving
violently.
"The kitchen door was left open and
in come a rat," was the triumphant
response.?Harper's Magazine.
Fair Words or Nothing.?"George,"
said the wife to her generally unappreciative
husband, "how do you like
my new hat?"
"Well, my dear," said George with
great candor, "to tell you the truth?"
"Stop right there, George! If you're
going to talk that way about it I don't
want to know."
Puzzled.?Husband?I see that a
German has invented a clock that tells
the day of the month by sounding the
number.
Wife?I don't see how it can tell the
10th, 20th and 30th of the month. It
can strike the one, two and three all
right, but how can it sound the cipher?

Feminine Fear of Mice.?Once more
there is excuse for asking how much
of sincerity there is in the fear of mice
to which so many women give such
vehement expression. A night telephone
operator over in New Jersey saw one
of the little creatures steal out on the
floor of the room in which she was
keeping her lonely vigil, and, though
his attack was not on her, but on the
crumbs of her luncheon, she promptly
fainted. On recovery she rushed into a
closet, where she was Imprisoned until
morning by the spring catch on the
hastily slammed door. Meanwhile all
efforts to call "central" were vain, and
the snow-storm received many undeserved
objurgations.
Yet this young woman, like all others
knows that mice are perfectly harmless?that
they never did hurt anybody
and never will.
The wicked suggestion has been made
that feminine outcries on the appearnncc
of mice are a mere fashion or
habit, inveterate now, but originating
in nothing better than a desire to show
an interesting sensitiveness and timidity
and to give rescuing man a chance
to show his superiority. There must
be something more to it than thai,
however, for not a few women, even
when quite alone, as this one was,
manifest almost convincing indication
of this fear, perhaps not the less real
because so unnecessary.
Apparently the fear is instinctive,
but nothing in ancestral history explains
the instinct since in the line of
mothers running back through the
troglodytes to merely anthropoid forebears,
never a one was devoured by a
mouse, and not more than half a dozen
in all can have been bitten by one.
And instincts are not so easily made.?
New York Times.
THE TRADE DOLLAR
Story of a Coin That Proved a Complete
Failure.
The "trade dollar," which was common
enough 30 or 40 years ago, is now
no longer current, and is, of course, an
unfamiliar sight to the present generation.
Its intrinsic value is only about
45 cents, although coin collectors will
sometimes pay 85 cents for a specimen.
Trade dollars were authorized by
congress in 1873, for the purpose of
stimulating trade with the Orient. For
many years the Mexican silver dollar
has been a highly valued coin in nearly
all far eastern countries. Hundreds
of millions of them are shipped to
China, Japan, the Philippines, and
other lands in that part of the world,
to pay for the products exported thence
to Europe and the United States. Congress
thought that a coin of the same
weight and size as the Mexican dollar,
with the imprint of the United States,
could be used with advantage.
During the five years beginning with
1873, the United States mint produced
nearly 36,000,000 of these dollars. Most
of them were exported, but enough of
them remained in our own country to
lead to some confusion by reason of
their similarity to the standard silver
dollar. In 1887 congress provided that
for six months thereafter all trade dollars
presented at the treasury should
be exchanged for standard silver dollars.
After that time trade dollars
were to be worth only their metal value.
Nearly 8,000,000 were redeemed,
and when this period for redemption
came to an end, probably less than 1
per cent of the number that had been
coined remained in this country.
The trade dollars show on one side
a sitting figure of the Goddess of Liberty,
and on the other an eagle of a
different design from that on the
standard dollar. The inscription is:
"United States of America, Trade Dollar,
420 grains, 900 fine." The standard
silver dollar weighs 412J grains.
The weight of the Mexican dollar is
417.74 grains, but it is 90.27 per cent
pure silver, so that although it weighs
less, its metal value is about the same
as that of the old trade dollar.?

U. S. GREATEST OIL PRODUCER
California's Output Alone Was 100,000,000
Barrels Last Year.
Once more the twelve months' pro
gress may tie reviewea in comparative
detail without referring more than
casually to fields other than those
which have claimed the principal attention
for several years past, says the
London Times. The United States
easily maintains its pre-eminent position
as a producer. The production of
approximately 30,000,000 metric tons
represents 63 per cent of the world's
output. The increase during the pa^t
year has been of very moderate dimensions.
California, which otherwise is
most favorably situated to contribute
to the increase, is hampered by the
difficulty of reaching outside markets.
Impatiently it is awaiting the opening
of the Panama canal '.o pour its accumulated
stocks of 50 000,000 barrels
and its immense reserves which are
still underground into eastern markets
but already the highest authorities
are foreshadowing the time when the
stream of oil through the pipe lines
will be reversed to meet the requifements
of the Pacitic coast.
Last year's California output is estimated
at nearly 100,000,000 barrels, an
increase of 10 per cent. The import
ance attached to this field may be
gauged from the anxiety of the Royal
Dutch-Shell Transport group to obtain
a footing where the Standard Oil
company has hitherto reigned supreme.
Other additions to the output
of the United States are expected from
the midcontinental fields of Oklahoma
and Kansas, only the fringes of which
have as yet been tapped. Indeed, every
single producing district on the
continent may be said to be increasing
its output. Feverish activity has prevailed
in the high-grade regions east
of the Mississippi, but it is extremely
doubtful if the output in the eastern
fields can be increased more than temporarily.
Birds That Fight Eagles.?In Foula,
one of the Shetland islands, the natives
make a business of rearing skau
gulls in order to rid the island of the
eagles that congregate there and commit
many depredations. The magnificent
red sandstone cliffs that skirt the
north-western const became it favorite
haunt of the eagles, and in this inaccessible
spot they increased so rapid
ly ihut they became a terror to the
farmers and fishermen who dwell on
this isolated spot. The skau gulls are
also strong and tierce and the inveterate
foes of the eagle. In battle the
gulls are nearly always victorious, and
so the inhabitants of Foula hit upon
the novel plan of feeding and caring
for the skau gulls, which, though formidable
to their feathered enemies,
are very peaceful and docile when
brought in contact with man.
Recognized.?Fake medium: "Hear
that knocking? That is your departed
friend."
Jones: "That's Hill, all right. He
always was a knocker."

Pyrene Fire
Extinguisher
The Pyrene Fire Extinguisher is the
most effective device that has ever
been invented for extinguishing Are.
It was perfected in 1907. A Pyrene
Extinguisher is worth more than a
well equipped tire department within
five minutes after a Are starts?it will
extinguish the Are and does no damage.
There should be at least one
in every dwelling and at least two in
every store in York county. It is always
ready for use, and you will
nlwnvs know where to And it. if you
have one in your store or place of
business, if you need it. The price of
the Extinguisher is $7.50. I am prepared
to allow 15 per cent reduction
on insurance on all automobiles
equipped with a Pyrene Extinguisher
or 5 per cent reduction on country
stores that have two Pyrenes.
I have a limited supply of Pyrene
Extinguishers on hand and will be
pleased to furnish any desired information
about them. I am sole
agent for this section, but owing to
the fact that the profit to the agent is
very small, I do not expect to make
a systematic canvass. You can get
one or more by seeing me. You may
never need one, but if you do and
have not got it, you would gladly pay
several times its cost to have the use
of it. See me about it today.
