Had Seen Enough.?As E. J. Bowes,
the theatrical manager, tells the tale,
a simple garbed man walked into one
of the hadnsomest and most ornate of
Broadway cafes and called for a drink
of straight rye. Having drunk, he
counted out three nickles upon the bar
and prepared to depart.
"Hold on, please." said the gentle
* manly attendant; "the price is 25
centa"
"What talk have you?" demanded the
patron. "Why, I can get the same
brand of licker anywhere on Tenth
avenue for 15."
"Probably so," explained the barkeeper,
"but you see we do not charge
for the whisky alone. We have to
charge for all these decorations?for
the hangings at the windows, and the
furnishings, and the pictures on the
walla That picture younder cost
$10,000. That's why we have to ask
you a quarter for a drink, see?"
"1 see," said the man, staring about
him, and out he went.
The next day he returned. He entered
slowly, holding one hand across his
eyes. He felt his way to the bar and
again laid down 15 centa
"I ain't lookin'," he stated truthfully.
"Gimme some rye."?Saturday Evening
Poet.
Eligible.?A burly man, the picture
of perfect health and strength, walked
into the office of a prominent accident
insurance company the other day and
wanted to be insured.
"Are you engaged in any hazardous
business?" asked the secretary.
"Not in the least," replied the applicant.
"Does your business make it necessary
for you to be without sleep at
night?"
"No, sir."
"Would your business ever require
you to be where there were excited
crowds?for instance, at a riot or a
Are?"
"Never, sir."
"Is your business such as to render
you liable to injury from carriages or
runaway horses?"
"Oh, no, sir!"
"Does your business throw you in
contact with criminal cases?"
"Good gracious! No sir."
"I think you are eligible. What is
your business?"
"I am a policeman."
That Brought Him.?"Behind first"
in a certain ball game played at Pittsburgh
in the late fall there was one
selfish man who would not sit down
and insolently ignored the pleas and
demands from hundreds behind him,
says the Springfield Republican.
Standing full six feet, the fellow paid
not a heed to cries of "Sit down! Sit
down! Down in front!"
A few missiles were thrown at him
with no effect and the crowd implored
him again to be seated, as not another
person in that part was on his feet at
the time. Another big fellow three
rows back boasted: "Watch me bring
that boob down." Awaiting the angry
chatter of others to subside, he made
a megapnone 01 nis uig nanus, anu
yelled:
"Hey, fellow, if you don't care to
sit down, will you please pin back
your ears as we're coming: to a tunnel."
The fellow turned, promptly sat
down and the crowd cheered.
Trouble Enough.?The Rev. Alfred
Noon, patriarch of the Sons of Temperance,
was talking: in Boston about the
war.
"Russia gave up her vodka," he said,
"and Prance gave up her absinthe, but
when they began to talk about England
giving up her beer?and English beer
is as strong as vodka and absinthe
mixed together?the English people
in their indignation wrecked the
government, and a coalation had to be
formed.
" 'Beer uber allies,' say the English.
They remind me or tne sieveaore wnu
looked upset.
" 'You look upset, George,' said a
friend. 'What's the matter with you?'
'"Matter enough!' the stevedoor
growled. 'The baby's Just went and set
himself afire, and blamed if the old
woman didn't put him out with my
growler of beer! And me dead broke,
too!'"
Thou Faithful Servant,?Felix G.
Goerlich, teller of the Franklin bank,
has a new maid. Goerlich says his
last one missed her calling. She
should have Joined the army, she obeys
orders so well. This is how it all
happened:
Goerlich had been indisposed and
his doctor advised him to rest up for
a couple of days. He left some medicine
to quiet his nerves to be taken
every four hours. He took some of the
medicine at 4 o'clock and luckily soon
afterward he fell into a quiet sleep.
Imagine what Goerlich said when, at
8 o'clock, the negro maid entered the
room and shaking him, said:
"Wake up here, Mr. Goerlich.
Wake up. It's 8 o'clock. You wake
up and take dem sleeping powders."?

Positive Proof.?Circuit Judge G. B.
Arnold likes a good story and tells
one well. Here is his latest:
"The wife of one of the judge's
friends had a jewel of a cook and apprehension
began to be evident in the
family when a husky young man became
a regular caller.
"The woman of the house decided
the matter was serious enough to
warrant investigation and approached
the cook on the subject.
" 'Annie,' she said, 'I notice that
young man around here rather frequently."
" 'Yes. mum,'' was the diffident reply.
" 'Do you think his intentions are
serious?'
" 'I think so, mum. He's already began
to complain of my cooking.'"
His Excellency, the Cook.?In a
French-Canadian village there is one
hotel and it is the headquarters of the
.ommunity life, says the London
Chronicle. On the first night of the
trip the guide came to us after supper.
"You come from New York, hey?"
"Yes."
"You know Adolphe Desjardins?"
"No."
"You not know Adolphe Desjar
Dins?"
"No."
"Mon die, you must know him! He
is the cook in the hotel!"

any signs of insanity about the patient?"
"Well, when he got a legacy from his
uncle, he paid off the mortgage on his
house instead of buying an automobile."

THE GILA MONSTER
Horrible Reptile that Makes the Blood
Creep.
In the hot valleys of the Gila river
and its tributaries in Arizona is found
a repulsive and evil looking reptile,
for which a more appropriate name
could not be conceived than monster.
Looking at it casually it easily might
be mistaken for a large lizard, with its
fat blunt tail, taking up half of its
length of eighteen inches, and its four
legs on which it moves awkwardly
from place to place; but on closer inspection.
the peculiar rattlesnake
markings; the vicious snake-like head,
with its powerful jaws, from which a J
black forked tongue is shot out for
two inches, with lightning rapidity,
and the green sinister eyes suggest, at
least a dangerous reptile which
sh< be given a wide berth.
first acquaintance with the
mni. ?r was in a military camp on the
Gila river, where a fine specimen was
caught and tied to a bush near my
tent. The more closely I examined the
reptile the more dreadful it seemed.
At bedtime I went out to visit the
captive, to make sure it was securely
fastened, but found it had slipped its
cord and escaped.
In various camps, for some years
previous, on the Mexican border, I had
become accustomed to rattlesnakes,
centipedes, trantulas and scorpions?
on one occasion at night, on the lower
Rio Grande, being compelled to
move camp on account of a colony of
rattlesnakes which loudly objected to
our presence?but never before had I
experienced the same uncomfortable,
creepy feeling I did on this night,
when I thought at any moment the
monster might crawl into my tent.
There has been much discussion as
to whether or not the Gila monster
is a venomous reptile. Specimens
have been sent to the Smithsonian,
where it was said they had no glands
for secreting venom and were harmless;
but a different idea prevails and
reasonably so, in the southwest. However,
it is not aggressive; it is sluggish
and not easily aroused; but
when it does use its fangs with their
bulldoer erriD. it is always with deadly
effect.
Mexicans In that part of the country
in a spirit of bravado, when fortified
by several drinks of mescal, are fond
of taking: a Gila monster in one hand
and thrusting the other against its
nose, and strange to say, then generally
escape, but not always.
There are two authentic cases which
occurred in my vicinity when too close
contact with the reptile met with disaster.
An American saloon-keeper in
Fairbanks, Arizona, kept two large
specimens in a barrel as curiosities.
One day a Mexican came into the saloon
and taking one of them out with
his hand, began to show off his usual
bravado performance, when he was
instantly seized by a finger which
could be released only by cutting off
the reptile's head.
The Mexican at once showed signs
of distress and died from the effects
of the bite In less than thirty minutes.
Another case was that of an American
ranchman, who started out one
morning .on horseback to ride to
Tuscon, fifty miles west of his ranch.
When he had gone about half the distance,
seeing a large Gila monster
crossing the road, he dismounted, and
after beating it with a club until, as
he supposed, it was dead, he tied it to
the saddle straps behind him. After
going several miles he felt behind to
see that his trophy was still there,
when the reptile's vice-like Jaws
closed on his thumb. Finding it impossible,
without assistance, to pull his
thumb away from the reptile's grip, the
ranchman went at top speed to a railroad
station about a mile off his road,
wnere, to get reuer, it was nece??ujy
to cut off the monster's head. Fortunately
a train was passing at the
time which took the man at once to
the hospital in Tucson, where, after
being at the point of death for several
days, he was detained for two months
until he was finally cured.
The Gila monster's sluggishness almost
amounts to lethargy, and ordinarily.
if it were not for his fiendish,
unwinking eyes it would seem to be
asleep.
At old Fort McDowell, thirty miles
north of Phoenix, a happy family consisting
of three Gila monsters, a dozen
field mice and a small prairie snake,
were confined in an iron cage.
The monsters, apparently petrified,
always remained stretched out In the
middle of the cage. The field mice,
which were very lively, were continually
scampering over them, sometimes
sitting on their backs. The little snake,
also very active, was Incessantly
gliding among the other members of
the family.
Perfect harmony existed until one
morning when an old gopher, with long
prominent teeth, was put in the cage.
The mice immediately ran and hid
m tneir notes. une snane prepared
for attack and assaulted the newcomer,
when a hard fight began which
ending with the snake's strangling
and swallowing the gopher.
During this long drawn out affair,
which lasted over half an hour, the
Gila monsters remained as unconcerned
as if they were made of stone.
There is reason to suppose there
was a wiser purpose in the creation of
all things?the useful and the apparently
useless; the harmless and the
dangerous?but it is hard to understand
what part in life the Gila monster
was intended to take. Fortunately,
however In the section where it
was common it is now rarely found;
since with all other objectionable
creatures it is fast disappearing when
brought in contact with civilization.?

GREEK TRADERS FLOURISH
Since Coming of the Alllee to the Port
of 8aloniki.
With the coming of the relief armies
landed by the Allies for the succor of
the hard-pressed Servians, the tradesmen
of the Greek port Saloniki, say
the reports from the near east have
flourished as seldom before, and Dunmeh,
Jew and Greek are said to have
found this stage of the world war a
special windfall for themselves. Wealth
is very unevenly distributed in this
little port, where Greek. Jew and Bulgar
have been held to poverty through
years of Turkish administration.
There is, however, one very rich
clique in Saloniki, which is described
in the following war primer recently
issued by the National Geographic society:
"First among Saloniki's citizens of
wealth, who are now enjoying the opportunity
of purveying in wholesale
quantities to French and British soldiers,
are the Dunmeh's a sect, or rather
a community peculiar to the city.
They are Jews, who, the stranger is
told, have been converted to Mohammedanism.
Just how successful their
conversion really was no one knows,
but there is an interesting legend
which embodies the traditions of their
establishment. The story is that some
centuries ago a certain Jew of Saloniki,
Sabatai Sevi. by name, became con
vinced that he was the Savior prophesied
for his race. He declared himself
to his people in Saloniki as their
long-awaited redeemer, and soon won
a strong and enthusiastic following.
The Turkish sultan, unwilling that redeemers
should flourish under the
crescent, or that dangerous fanatic
power the more should develop under
his sway, had Sabatai Servi arrested
and brought before him at Constantinople.
The story of the reformer
found no favor at the palace, and he
was given the alternative of death or
conversion to Mohammedanism with
his entire flock. The legend concludes
that he and his, chose the Koran in
preference to death.
This formal conversion to Mohammedanism
has been the greatest commercial
asset of the Dunmehs through
many generations of successful trade
at Saloniki. With all the business
keepness of the Jew, they combined
the privileges of the ruling Ottoman
and were thus among the most able
traders within the Ottoman empire.
It has been said that they professed
Mohammedanism merely for safety,
and that they have continued their
religion in secret. In any case, they

the years of Turkish rule of Saloniki
they were accepted by the ruling race
as co-religionists.
The richest people in Saloniki, they
have jealously guarded whatever their
secrets may be, and, in Turkish garb,
they have gone their way through centuries
quietly and industriously amassing
fortunes. They have not married
outside their own sect, nor sought beyond
their fold for other forms of social
relationships. Their community
keeps to itself, with its education, its
own social life, and Its own success.
For many years, these people throve
by sub-letting rights to gather tithes
for the government at Constantinople.
Today, with their advantages of wealth
they form a most exclusive cast of
Saloniki contractors and merchants.
SHALL I GO TO LAW?
t
The Wrong Answer is 8ure to Bring
You 8orrow and Expense. L
J. L. Sherard in Farm and Fireside. a
In a southern state there lived two s
farmers, who, for convenience, shall s
be termed A and B. Their farms adjoined,
being divided along a por- a
tion of the line of a creek. It became t
advisable, for the better protection of s
the bottom lands, to straighten the c
zigzag course of the stream at one
point by cutting a short ditch. This \
was done by mutual agreement and i
the boundary line re-established sat-11
isfactorily to both parties. Later on i
A died, and his small farm came into r
possession of C. e
For some reason C became dis- 41
satisfied over the line and, after having:
made an investigation of the matter,
concluded that B had encroached
a little upon him at the bend of the 1
old creek bed, and thereupon he began
an action in court to oust B from
the disputed strip of land and to re- ^
cover damages for alleged trespass.
The Church Suffered from the 8uit. t
A long, tedious and acrimonious f
suit followed in the courts, though the ?
land in dispute was only a thirtieth c
of an acre and at a maximum valu- c
atlon was worth just about one dol- *
lar! (
The case was fought by able at- 4
torneys on both sides, twice went to '
the supreme court on technical points ?
of law, and at last, from sheer weari- v
ness of the contending parties, was I
compromised out of court some three ?
yeaJ-s after the suit was started. I
In the final agreement, made inde- c
pendently of a court decision, be it j
remembered, each party assumed the B
payjnent of his own costs and reached t
a mutual understanding as to the dis- J
position of the small strip of land. s
The heavy expense of litigation wore
the case to shreds before the courts
could shake off more technical issues ]
that caused prolonged delay and de- ;
cide it on its merits. 8
The total costs, Including attorney's e
fees, amounted to about fifteen hun- ^
dred dollars. I
Both parties to the action came out
of it almost bankrupt, and with a j
breach of friendship that no earthly ^
power could heal. Previous to the t
bringing of this case in a court of j
law, attempt was made to settle it by t
arbitration. ]
It was most unfortunately lugged t
Into the community church, where a }
sharp division arose over the claims j
and merits of the respective parties, s
and for a long time the petty enrol- i
ties provoked by partisan discussion
and opinion enveloped the humble
house of worship like a black and
threatening cloud from the bottle of
some fabled genius.
Even if You W'nr "Lswin'* is Costly. .
This was an extreme case, it is true.
But the legal annals of every state ^
can match it in some form or degree.
Had the parties to this action only i
been willing to meet each other In a J
spirit of genuine friendship, with a t
sincere mutual desire to determine ?
the ownership of the little strip of t
earth on terms of neighborly interest, 1
the dispute could have been settled in t
ten minutes. As it was, they failed to ]
get together, and an expensive lawsuit c
was the result. J
After it was all over, both parties t
were doubtless "satisfied" to the ex- J
treme limit of "lawln'." *
What a frightful waste?on one
side of the human ledger one dollar's worth
of land, on the other fifteen y
hundred dollars in costs besides the
more valuable loss of friendship and
the disruption of a community!
The office of a lawyer is to see that
Justice is done and to discourage, not 4
encourage, litigations. Sometimes the (
lawyer is too much Inclined to yield I
to his client's wishes and brings a 1
case in court that ought never to have j
passed beyond the power of the par- r
ties themselves to settle. *
But, after all, the blame for foolish t
and unwise cases in court rests not i
so much upon the lawyer as it does I
on the client, who, hot-headed and (
bent on getting satisfaction at any s
price, plunges headlong into a legal i
fight without for a moment reckoning a
the cost. J
Conditions on the farm give rise to i
many possible sources of dispute be- r
tween neighbor and neighbor. It may
be a trespassing cow that lays the ^
foundation for a heated complaint, or
the antics of a vicious bull, or the ?
prowllngs of a worthless hound, or a
flood that in an hour changes the
channel of a tiny stream.
Finally it Becomes a Mania.
The chain of trouble-breeding incidents
that might occur at any time Is
almost endless.
If friction over alleged wrongs happens
to arise, the first wrong step Is
to try to arbitrate the matter; the
second, and usually the limit in human
folly, is to go to law about It.
The desire to win under modem conditions
of life, is about as keenly developed
as the instinctive law of selfpreservation.
When a normal man goes into a fight, .
he bends every ounce of brawn and
employes every resource of wit and
strategy to come out ahead of his .
antagonist. Just here lies the danger
of falling a victim to the lawsuit
mania.
The sensible thing for the levelheaded
man to do when trouble ap- <
pears is to go to his neighbor and
meet him upon terms of mutual in- '
terest.
Right-minded neighbors can, and
will, settle their grievances out of
court by means of a friendly compromise.
FOREIGN DEVILS j
The Answer a Chinese Official Gave a
British Consul.
In his book, "Home Life in China," "
Isaac Taylor Headland gives an account
of the Chinese superstitions regarding
the foreigner, one of which has f
resulted in their calling him kueitzu,
or "devil." A very amusing story,
says he, is told of a red haired, red i
whiskered, blue eyed British consul at
Canton who was, as are most of the
British officials, of an investigative disposition
and was anxious to know why
it was that the Chinese call us of the
west "foreign devils." Now, be it understood
that the Chinese idea of a
demon is that he is a red haired, red
bearded, blue eyed being who quails
at nothing that comes in his way.
One day when a Chinese official was
calling on the consul the latter asked
him:
"Why is it that the Chinese call us
devils?"
"The official at first hesitated, but,
being pressed, he finally said, "I do not
care to tell you."
"But I should take it as a great favor
If you would tell me. I am very anxious
to know."
"I cannot tell you," said the official.
"Why not?" asked the consul. I
"Because you would be angry if I
old you."
"By no means. I would not be so
inreasonable as to ask you a question
ind then be offended because you anrwered
It. On the other hand. I
ihould be greatly obliged to you."
Being thus pressed until he was unible
to refuse, the official finally eyed
he consul from head to foot and said
ilowly and reluctantly, 'Well, it is be:ause
you look like devils."
This natural superstition t>f the peo>le
was taken hold of by the Boxers
n 1900 and circulated still more widey
by all kinds of placards, both in
>rose and verse. I have one before
ne in verse, a part of which, translatd,
reads as follows:
The devils are not human beings like
you.
If you doubt what I say
You may see any day
rhat the eyes of the devils in color
are blue."
? A nation-wide movement to make
he country church not only the reigious,
but also the social and agriculural
center for the farmer through a
ederation of churches in rural comnunities,
was launched at Columbus,
)hio, last Wednesday, at the opening
if the conference of the commission
in church and country life under the
tuspicies of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America. Speakers
advocated the laying aside of
'petty sectarian differences" in the
ormation of such a federation and
igreed that rural churches are too
lumerous, that country preachers are
inderpaid and that their energies are
livided among too many charges. The
eonvention opened with addresses by
lov. F. B. Willis of Ohio, and Glfford
1nchot, chairman of the committee
lommission. Dr. Washington Gladden,
?f Columbus, regarded by many as the
ather of the movement to bring
ibout interdenominational co-operalon
was one of the speakers. Sessions
vill continue until FViday night, when
'resident Wilson is expected to make

SERVICE-That's It
It is a well known fact that when it
comes to Fire Insurance, there is no ^
difference in the rate charged per
1100 by all the reputable companies, I
but it is a fact that the rate charged
by agents who are not on the Job?the
kind who are writing Insurance prin- j
clpally for the commission?could J
often be reduced materially if certain
changes were made and the agent who
knows, and is not in the business solely
for commissions, will, at least advise
his clients how a rate can be reduced.
Service of this kind is and has
always been my specialty, and I have
saved hundreds of dollars for my
"" *?A ? n ?- ? ? 4 V ama In a# fhO
enema. ouuio ui nmu, u< *?v?. w
majority, havo appreciated it, but some
have not, but I will continue tho policy
because it is right. I do not ask for
business on any other ground than
value received. One of the most serious
handicaps of the business is that (
after a minimum rate has been secured
and policies issued correctly, the
novice can issue a policy just as well
as the expert, and some lnsurees will
give him business from various
motives.
MUTUAL BENEFIT IN8URANCE jflfl
What has been said of Fire Insurance
above does not apply to Life Insuranee.
No agent can give you as flH
much for your money in Life Insurance
as I can in a Mutual Benefit
Policy and I can prove this claim to
your satisfaction if you will ask to
be shown. Wise people look before
they leap.
