I AN EXTREMELY I
1 PARTICULAR ?
MAN
The woman with the strlpeo wool
en shawl tied round her chin took
from her mouth the last sample of
calico she had been chewing and
carerully Inspected It to se? if the
color had run, says the Chicago
News. It had not, but she was not
entirely satisfied.
"I'm in no rush," she observed to
the storekeeper. "I reckon I'll look
around ur a spell afore I settle oa
it. i may git better suited."
The woman went, nevertheless.
"She's like Clay Hulbut," remark
ed Washingt ?n Hancock." Clay was
one of them fellors allus wanted to
look around fer a spell afore he gave
up any or his good money. I reck
on Clay never bought a thing or
made a trade the first time of ask
lh' in his hull born days. He had
an idea he'd git better suited some
where else whatever it was he dick
ered for."
'"Seems to me like hoss sense not
to jump at the first thin" 'at's offer
ed," said Sol Baker
"That's what Clay said when Sile
Peters offered him $2 for $1.75,"
said Hancock. "Sile had a bet up
on it. Clay come into the bank to
see if he couldn't git a chattel mort
gage blank for less'n five cents, which
was what the recorder wanted to
charge him, an' Sile told him that
he couldn't let any go at less'n 15
cents or two for a quarter. 'I've
got some $2 bills here that I'll let
you have cheap, though, Clay,' he
says. "They're a leetle might wore
an' I've more o' them In stock than
4 need. If you'd like to take about
5 0 ot 'em ofT my hands, you can
have 'cm for $87.50.' An" he hand
ed out a bunch with a paper band
pasted around them.
" Seems like that's reasonable
enough,' says Clay, after studyin*
awhile. 'Tell ye, though, there
ain't no hurryin' rush about this. I'll
go over to the Drovers' bank an' see
what Keating Is offerin' 'em for. If
he can't make a better figger 1 11
come back and take these. You
keep 'em to one side fur me.'
"Then he went over to Keat ng
an' ast him wuat he was selling $2
bills for In lots o 50. That's the
honest truth."
"if Keating was alive now, he'd
bear me out," said Hancock. "You
can write to Sile Peters If you like,
an' ast him If It wasn't so. He's in
St. Joe now, If he^ hasn't moved
away since I last heard of him.
"1 remember standin' behind Clay
at the ticket seller's stand cne time
when the clrcas came to town. 'How
are you a-sellin' tickets today?' says
Clay.,
" 'Two bits gen'ral admission an*
reserved seats 50 cents,' says the
feller. 'How many do you want.'
" 'That the best you can do?" says
Clay.
" 'Beln' It's you, I'll make It half
a dollar fur reserved seats 'an 25
cents general admission,' says the
Teller, winkln' at me.
" "Well,' says Clay, puttln' up his
weasel, '1 reckon I'll look around a
spell fust.' "
"That's all right" maintained
Baker. "Of course there's such a
thing as pushln' it to fur, but sup
pasin' Kufe, here, bought his goods
from the fust drummer 'at come
along 'thout Inquirin' round to see
what the others was a-sellln' an'
v.-hat they charged. If you want to
buy a cow. you'd look around a spell,
too, wouldn't you?"
"Not If you come to me an' told
me the cow you'd got was kind an'
gentle an' young an' a good milker
an' worth tha money you ast fer
her," replied Hancock blandly. "Clay
would come to town after groc'nes
an' put in the hull day lookin'
around an' then go home ihout 30
much as tillin' his m'lasses jug. He
put off buyln' his Feed p'taters till
It was too late to plant 'em, even if
there'd been any left to plant. Most
gen'rally he'd pay two prices for
what he could have bought at half
price if he had the gumption to snap
at a bargain.
"He was over 30 years old afore
he got married, he was so blame per
nickety an' partickler about th*
kind o" gal he wanted. He'd go
around and set up with fust one an'
then another an' figger on what
kind o' -omen they was likely to
he an' how much money they had,
an' how good lookin' they was, an'
then he'd drive over to Tarkla an*
see what they had there, but he
couldn't never make up his mind an'
the further he got in the woods the
crookeder the sticks was until fln'ly
there wasn't nobody left but Levy
Bostlck'a gal Belle.
"1 reckon Belle Bostlck was about
the homeliest critter that was ever
raised on corn pone. She'd been
give up to be a old maid fur ten
years afore Clay seen her. Her
folks was poor as ctetern water, too.
An' Clay might have hod a'most any
body when he fust started out If he'd
made up his mind an' stuok to it.
They got on tollable well together
though?'bout an w?U aa a heap o'
other married folks."
"Why dldnt he look around a
while longerT" asKed tho store
keeper. "He didn't have to take
her, did heT"
"Ho didn't take her," said Hancock.
"Ishs took him. It was the last
cnanco a ho h*d an' she knowed It."

BARROW TRAVEL IN CHINA.
Long Distances Made by Passengers
at Small Cost.
"Probaoiy more freight and more
passengers are transported In China
by the wheelbarrow route than by
any other land method." said Alex
ander B: Georgil of Hongkong. China,
j who Is interested in the shipping
i trade in the Far East.
I '1 he wheelbarrow used in China
] differs from that used in America in
the fact thauthe wheel is set In the
center and thus supports practically
the entire load, while the handle are
supports in part by a strap or rope
o^er the shoulders of the man who
operates it.
"As a result the coolie in China
will transport nearly half a ton on
bis wheel. Wheelbarrows are much
used in the country where the roads
are but little developed, and I have
heard t*hat passengers sometimes
make the entire trip from Shanghai
to Pekin, a distante of 600 miles
by barrow.
"A two passenger barrow will
make about 20 miles a day, and the
coolie Is content with a pay of about
twenty cents a day, or an average of
about half a cent a mile for euch pas
senger. On the level, well kept
streets of the foreign quarters of
such cities as Hongkong, Shanghai
and Pekin, the wheelbarrow coolie'
will struggle along with a load of
six or even eight people.
Figureheads for Autos.
In some parts of the civilized
world the fetich or idol which disap
peared long ago is coming back, In
fact, has already returned to duty as
a guardian, protector, mascot or
whatever one may be pleased to call
It. The new idol is in shape accord
ing to the fancy of the automobile
owner, who places it on the front of
the machine to prevent accidents and
arrest. These figureheads are all
grotesque in style, the most popular
being the image of a police officer
with watch in hand, a barking cur
and a crowing rooster.
When Korea Led the World.
Few are aware that Korea preced
ea Europe in inventing three things
which have had a vast influence upon
the world. Printing with movable
types originated in Korea in 1324,
126 years before the invention of the
art in Europe. The two other in
ventions In which the Koreans seem
to have anticipated Europe were
the mortar and the ironclad, both
used with considerable effect, during
the Japanese Korean war of 1598-98.
A Coy Yonng Thing.
The iollowing advertisement re
cently appeared: "Being aware that
it Is Indelicate to advertise1 for a
husband, I refrain from doing so;
but if any gentleman should be in
clined to advertise for a wife, I will
answer the advertisement without
delay. 1 am young am domesticat
ed, and am considered {ladylike. Ap

nabana vs. Havana.
"Havana Is spelt* with a 'B' o?
genuine l aporte^ cigar boxes and
with a 'V in the case of home-made
cigars," explained a tobacconist pre
sented at Cardiff recently, for sell
ing British cigars as Havana. The
magistrate agreed, that the custom
prevailed and inflicted a nominal
fine.?London Daily.
Gypsies and Animals.
The gypsies are nearer to the ani
mals than any race known to ua
in Europe. They have the lawless
ness and abandonment, the natural
physical grace in form and gesture
ot animais; only a stealthy and
something wary in their eyes makes
them human.?Arthur Symons.

Pharaoh's mummy has been discov

Youth the Time to Build Wisely.
Youth is the best time for the
building of character and the form
ing of principle, and the future de
pends on the decisions and actions ofc
the present.?Rev. G. Denton.
Showing Polly of Anger.
A wise man has well reminded us
that in any controversy the Instant

striving ror tho truth, and have be
