Hunting Is so popular (hat 20,000.000 empty sporting cart' ridges were Imported Into Spain last year, and of these 2,300.000 entered the port of Valencia alone. More than two-thlrda of the total are of ordinary and low grade quality, coat log about 65 cents a hundred unload ed. but there la aleo a limited, mar ket for very high grade sporting cart ridges with deep metallic Maine, adapted for heayy, charges of smoke less powders, which are Imported from Great Britain and the United States and are retailed at from $1.45 to f 1.08 a hundred according to length and llnlsh. The natural sporting proclivities of ? inhabitants of Valencia are foeter </ the proximity of the Albufera, un extensive marshy lake visited In the fall and winter by myriads of wild duck, coots and other water - fowl that migrate from northern Europe, while /the forest wastes and arid brushwood hills of the Interior arc moderately stocked ' with red part ridge, hares and rabbits. All the motet, cultivated valloys following tho course of streams are also visited lu the spring and Hummer by migratory quail thart como over from North Af rica. Trade In sporting guns, pistols and revolvers Is of considerable Impor tance, but only the very high grades are imported. Nearly all medium qual ity, ordinary and low priced products are manufactured in the country, mostly at JClbar, in the Basque prov inces in the north of Spain, whero excellent workmen; many of whom study at tho leading arms factories of Birmingham aud Liege, make .al most every form of gun, rifle, pistol and revolver. The barrels aro usually Imported In the rough from Great Britain or Belgium, and are bored and finished at the Spanish factories. The Magic Word. Number please? 3700 what? 8700 deaf?

That line of talk don't go with me, for one. I don't care If you are sorry. Get your number out of your system or hang up. I've had about enough of you. What? I don't care who you aro.

Preparatory to their departuro fot another city for a protracted period a Baltimore family had their furniture and effects taken to a storage house. As the workmen were busily engaged In carrying down from the second and third stories of the house various ar ticles the mistress of tho house heard from tho room wherein she was giving directions sounds of much pufllng and blowing, as one of the men was stag gering down the stairs under a weighty piece of furniture. ? "What aro you taking down?" she called out. "The light oak dresser?" "No, mum," answered a stalwart Celt, "Olm takin' down the heavy ma hogany one." Equal to the Occasion. "You're no judgo of literature oi rhetoric, Sara. Why, you couldn't do It to save your life if I asked you to plve mo a good illustration of a flat contradiction in terms. "Couldn't I?

"Well," replied the frank young woman, "I can't say that I havo read all of it." "I see; you have read Genesis and Revelations." "How did you know?" "That's the way a woman always read 8 any book." Heredity. "Jhdgo," said the guilty man, "I in herit thlB felonious habit. I can't re sist It. My father was a grafter and my mother a photographer. I can't help taking things."

WHY CONDUCTOR WAS MAD because Youth Disowned Acquaint* ance With Woman Whose Faro Remained Unpaid. There was an uncomfortable conges tion at the rear end of the pay-as-you enter car, every one trying to get out of the rain and mud and only a third having their nickels ready. A young man gave the conductor a quarter, re ceived his Ave nickels and dropped one of them Into the box. "Here," shouted the conductor, "put In an other nickel." v. "What for? I ain't two people," retorted the young man angrily. "Well, who's that woman up there?" "I don't know. I never saw her be fore." "Well, she didn't pay.'" But the In sistent passengers demanded atten tion and the man at the box had to drop the subject, although he looked Into the car lkter, glaring with espe cial disfavor at the youth who dis owned acquaintance with the woman whose fare remained unpaid. 4,^- Game All Right. While playing an engagement In St. Louis a couple of seasons ago, Tom Lewis struck up an acquaintance with a wealthy Texan living in the same hotel. There was a ball game sched uled that day between the Browns and a visiting club and Lewis Invited his new friend to go out and see it. The battle was a particularly hot one, the game going to an eleven* Inning tie. When they~1fot back to the hotel the Texan, who had become Imbued with some of Lewis* enthusi asm, began to recount the scenes and close plays of the game to the hotel clerk. "Well," said that worthy, "I'm glad you saw such a good game." "Wall, now," said the Texan, "I reck on as how it was a good game all right. Why, sir, them two passel of youngsters just played and played till plumb dark and nary one made ary one." Passing of the Tollgato. The passing today of the old toll gato at the northern entrance to the city is well worthy of the fireworks, oratory, and general jubilation which It has inspired. Strangers entering Baltimore by the Relsterstown road could hardly believe-that this was really a city of the fifth order, when a village functionary had first to lift a bar and demand their pennies be fore they were permitted to enter the sacred metropolitan confines. The good roads movement, so intelligently urged and fostered i>y Governor Crothers and the Democratic party, has already dono more to Instill life and enterprise and a new spirit into the counties of this state than all oth sr movements of recent years com bined. The passing of the old toll fate is symbolical of the new order and the larger spirit of enterprise tnd progress. ? Baltimore Sun. S' ... Mr. J. B. Duke's Ploughing. In spite of the distractions of the Tobacco company's reorganisation, Mr. James B.
