Aoricola. Ancestry nf SIif>?tnnklnR. There Is nothing vulgar about the ancestry of the .shocmaklng trade in tho United States. The first shoemak er came over in tho Mayflower. Ills name was Thomas Heard, and he had nu Income from the London company of $100 a year and received fifty acres of land on which to settle. Seven years later tho city of Lynn wnb founded, and ever since it has been making shoos for the world. Philip Kertlnnd, a native of Buckingham shire, was tho first shoemaker of tho city of Lynn, In George Washington's day Lynn had 200 master workmen and 000 Journeymen shoemakers, turn lug out every year no less than 300,000 pairs of lino slio^ TVnvlsntliiR tho Kllir. A curious means of moving boats is employed on tho river Elbe?a chain 200 miles long at the bottom of the stream, which is too swift to navigate in the usual way. The boats arc 180 feet long and provided with 200 horse power steam engines which turn a drum fastened on the deck. Tho chain comes in over the bow, passing along on rollers to tho drum, around which it is wound three times. Tho chain is then carried to the stern, where it drops back into tho water. The steam ers tow five barges containing 1,500 tons. EiOsionl.

Woman In Business At Illustrated by the Pa thetic Story off Toby fVowt "Letter* *Vom a Self Made Mer chant tu II? Son," 1>u Georg? Horace Loi lm jr. )'u pcrminsion of Smalt, Mau na rd <fc Co., Publisher*, Horton I never do business with u woman thnt I don't tbiuk of a Uttle lueldent which happened when I was first mar? ried to your ma. We set up housekeep ing In one of those cottages that you read about in the story books, but that you want to shy away from when it's put up to you to live in one of them. It was just the place to go for a picnic, but It's been my experience that a fol< low does most of Ills picnicking heforo he's married. Your ma did the cooking nnd I hus tled for things to cook, though 1 would take a shy at It myself once In awhile and get up my muscle tossing flapjacks. It was pretty rough sailing, you bet, but one way und auother we managed to get a good deal of satisfaction out of it, becauso we had made tip our niiuds to take our fun as we went along. With most people happiness is some thing that is always Just a day off. But I*havo made it a rule never to put off being happy till tomorrow. J, was clerktug In a general store at that time, but I httd a little weakness for live stock even then, and while I couldn't afford to plunge in it exactly I managed to buy a likely little sliote that I reckoned on carrying through the summer on credit and presenting with a Mil for board in the fall. He was just a plain pig when he came to us, and we kept htm in a little sty, but we weren't long in finding out that he wasn't any ordinary root and gruut pig. The first I know your ma was calling him Toby and had turned him loose. Answered to his name like a dog. Never saw such a sociable pig. Wanted to sit ou the porch with us. Tried to come Into the house evenings. Used to run down the road squealing for Joy when he saw me coming home from work. Woll, it got on toward November, and Toby had been making the most of his opportunities. I never saw a pig that turned corn into fat so fast, and the stouter he got the better his disposition grew. I reckon I was attached to him myself In a sort of a sneaking way, but I was mighty fond of hog meat, too, and we needed Toby Ih the kitchen. So I sent around and had him butchered, When I got home to dinner next day, I noticed that your tan looked mighty solemn as she set the roast of pork down In front of me, but I strayed off, thinking of something else as I carved, and my Avlts were off woolgathering sure enough when I said: "Will you have a piece of Toby, my dear?" Well, sir, she Just looked at me for a moment, and then she burst out crying and ran away from the table. But when I went after her and asked her what was the matter she stopped cry ing and was mad In a minute all the way through. Called me a heartless, cruel cannibal. That seemed to relieve her so that she got over her mad and began to cry again. Begged me to take Toby out of pickle and to bury him In the garden. I reasoned with tier, and in the end I made her see that any obsequies for Toby, with pork at 8 cents a pound, would be a pretty ex pensive funeral for us. But first and last she had managed to tako my appe tite away so that I didu't want any roast pork for dinner or cold pork for supper. That night I took what was left of Toby to a storekeeper at the Crossing, who I knew would bo able to gaze on his hams without burstiug Into toars, and got a pretty fair price for him. I simply mention Toby ir passing as an examplo of why I believe .women weren't cut out for businei s?at least for the pork packing buslnefi.i. I've had dealings with a good many of them, first and last, and It's been my experi ence that when they've got a weak case they add their sex to it and win, and that when they've got a strong case they subtract their sex from It and deal with you harder than a man. They're simply bound to win either way, and I don't like to play a game where I haveu't any show. When a clerk makes a fool break, I don't want to beg his pardon for calling his atten tion to it, and I don't want him to blush and tremble and leak a little brine into a fancy pocket handkerchief. A little change Is a mighty soothing thing, and I like a woman's ways too much at home to care very much for them at the office. Instead of hiring women I try to hire their husbands, and then I usually have them both working for me. There's nothing like a woman at home to spur on a man at the office. GOING THE WHOLE HOG You Mual Do It to Win In Wwtk PMkin* ftjid Other Thing* You've got to believe that the Lord made the first hog with the Graham biand burned in the skin and that the drove which rushed down a steep place was packed by a competitor. You've got to know your goods from A to It xard, from snout to tall, on the hoof nnd in the can. You've got to know 'em like a young mother knows baby talk and to be as proud of 'om as the young father of a twelve pound boy, without really thinking that you're .stretching it four pounds. You're got to believe In yourself and make your buyers take stock in you at par and accrued Inter est. You're got to' have the scent of a bloodhound for an order and the grip of a bulldog on a customer. You've got to feel the same personal solicitude over o bill of goods that strays off to a competitor as a parson over a back slider and hold special services to bring it back into the fold. You've got to get up every morning with deter mination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction. You'vo got to eat hog. think hog, dream hog?In short, go the whole hog?If you're going to win out in the pork packing business.

We realize t hat this is claiming u great deal, and we could not afford to make this assertion unless wo knew 1 hat we co\ild prove it to be true. But it does not take an export to tost the softness of a Mineral Water. When oarbonating a mineral water, if it is^ii hard water the gases will not be absorbed in the water, and when the bottle is oponod, the gases escape, and tho water is left flat and hard, while if it is u soft, water, like WHITE STONE LITHIA, it will retain its gases for hours after brim- un stopped. Head what some prominent persons you know have to say of the merits of the WHITE STONE LITHIA WATER: Laurens, S. C, Sept. 10th, 1902. J. T. Harris, E-?q., White Stone Spring, S. C.

I can heartily recommend it to any one in need of a healthful Mineral Water. Very truly, J- O- C. Fleming. Greenville, S. C, Oot. 10, 100*2. After a service of one season al White Stone Lithia Springs, as resi dent physician I do not hesitate to sa,\ that the effect of the water upon those _ who drink it for any length of lime./ has been perfectly marvelous. invari* ably an increase both in (losll and ap petite was perceptible in one week, proving it to be a mineral water of undoubted powerful tonic nroporty. its peculiar adaptability to dlsoasos origi nating from disorders of the kidney, bladder and livor, such as Dropsy, Bright's disease, Diabetes and uric acid calculi, and all forms of Dyspepsia, Rheumatism and Gout, is to bo ex pected from the splendid analysis it has been noted frequently that visi tors boforo coming bore hod to follow every meal with some form of correc tive, or confino themselves entirely to predigostcd fowls: soon discard those entirely, being delighted to lind that tho water alone?nature's own remedy sufllced.
