A SHREWD TRADER.
Hs Ussd a Clever Ruse to Get th# Information
He Needed.
A wealthy merchant in Paris who
had as extensive business with Japan
was informed that a prominent firm
in Yokohama hud failed, but he could
not learn the name of the firm. He
could have learued the truth by ca
bllng, but to save expense be went tfi
a well known banl*?r who had received
the news and requested hiur to revssl
Iho name nf thp Arm.
"That's a very delicate thing to do,"
replied the banker, "for the news Is
not official, and if 1 five you the name
I might incur some responsibility."
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition.
"I will give you," he said, "a list ol
ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask
you to look through it, and then tell
me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name of the firm
which has failed appears in It. Surely
you will do that for me?"
"Yes," said the banker, "for if I do
not mention any name 1 cannot be
held responsible in any way."
The list was made out, the banker
looked through it and, as he handed
it back to the merchant, said:
"The name of the merchant who has
failed is there."
"Then I've lost heavily," replied the
merchant, for that is the firm witb
which I did business," showing him ti
name on the list.
"But bow do you know that is the
firm which has failed?'* asked the
banker in surprise.
"Very easily," replied the merchant.
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine?that of the firm with
which I did business. All the others
are fictitious."

DREAMS COME TRUE.
War's Battles In the Air and Underv
Surface of the Sea.
i From the beginning of time men
i have dreamed of flying. Winged horses
i and magic carpets tigure in the literl
ature of all ages. It was not an irn'
possible dream, and tbe sight vf the
birds around them inspired inventors
1 of the earliest time to attempt to over'
come the laws of gravitation which
" bound tbcm to tl.e surface of the earth.
However, it was not until the latter
part of the eighteenth century that a
1 man was able to suspend hituself above
> the surface, a-nd more than another
century passed liefore any inqtortant
' improvement was made on the earliest
balloon manufactured in France.
Within the last ten years the dream
: of flying has come true, and the ma'
chines have been perfected to such a
I degree that man can now outspeod the
1 j birds of the air just"as the locomotive
j and the automobile have enabled him
1 to distance the fleetest footed animals.
' Other wonders of invention which
' have seen the light during the last century
and a half, beginning with the
' steam engine, were hardly thought of
before they became realities. If in some
past age a prophet had predicted that a
man would be able to talk to another
man 1,000 miles away or that the |
voice of a living man could be so recorded
that it could be heard after his
death, the prophet wotild have been
scoffed at, yet these wonders came to
pass before the aeroplane was invented,
though men looked forward to fly
iug skice the begiuning of time. St I
fast do modern inventions change the i
acaidltions under which we live that It 1
is quite within the limits of possibility j
that the wars of the future will be
fought mainly in the air and under the
surface of the sea.?New York Globe.
Meaning of Half Haet.
Ever since flags were used in war,
says the. Yorkshire Fost, it has been
the custom to have the emblem of the
superior or conquering nution above
that of the inferior or vanquished.
When an army found Itself hopelessly
beaten it hauled Its flag down far
enough for the flag of the victors to
be placed above it on the same pole.
That was a token not only of submission,
but of respect. Iu those days
when a famous soldier died flags were
lowered out of respect to his memory.
The custom long ago passed into common
use. The flag flying nt half mast
Is a sign that one is dead who was
worthy *of universal respect. The
space left above the flag is for the flag i
of the great conqueror of all?the an- >
gel of death.

Consolation.
A husband, a few weeks after the
honeymoon, came home and said In
desolate accents:
"My love. I'm heartbroken. My salary
has been cut down 13 per cent."
"Oh. that's nothing," cried tie young
bride cheerily. "Cheep & Co. ire advertising
perfectly lovely things cut
down 23 per cent."?Exchange.

You Make Friends By
Recommending A Reliable
Kidney Medicine
Tour representative called at my
door yesterday meaning to leave a
sample of your noted Swamp-Root and
I am certainly pleased to see anybody
connected with the firm who makes a
medicine which has done so much for
me and my family. A few years ago I
was suffering from a terrible pain In
my back and when 1 was up around
the house I had to walk with my body
bent nearly double. If you had placed
a thousand dollars above my head 1
could not straighten up to get It
Hearing of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
I sent to you for a sample bottle and
from the effects of that small amount
I was sure it would help me so I
bought one bottle and It has cured me.
Shortly after that my husoand who
was a coal miner, was suffering from
kidney trouble and could not work and
I sent for some of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. He was in a terrible
condition, but as the doctors had not
given me any relief. I had more faith
in Swamp-Root and it was well founded,
for it did the work and after taking
a few bottles he was completely
cured.
I daily recommend the use of
Swamp-Root to my friends and neighbors.
Sincerely yours.

Habits.
Imagine Hercules as oarsman In a
rotten boat; what can he do there but
by the very force of his stroke expedite
the ruin of his craft? Tdkc care,
then, of the timbers of your boat, and
avoid all practices likely to Introduce
either wet or dry rot among them.
And this is not to be accomplished
J by desultory or interimttor* efforts
of the will, but by the formation cf %
habits. The will, no doubt, has somej
t'mes to put forth Its strength in order
to strangle or crush the special
temptation. Rut the formation of
rf.ght habits is essential to your pern
anent security. They diminish your
chance of falling when assailed, and
tl.ey augment your chance of recovery
when overthrown.?John Tyndall.
