Commissioner Watson and his staff of grain experts are a little late in their cainpaign, but a little more agi vition and information will not hurt. 00e 0 I'Phe fact that so much grain is be ing soweI this fall largely explodes the theory that the supply merchants and bankers forced the all-cotton plan on the country.

A great many little points might be raised for and against the plan, but on the que3 tionl alone of Profit to merchants thiere Is much to be said. There is very lit tie trading after six o'clock, hardly enough to pay for fuel and lights, and what there is could and doubtlens would be done before the six o'clock hour.

Doctor 'Johnson, on the other hand, regarded them with suspicion. When an old Lichileld friend, showing him .over a hiouse built specially for him, dilated on the advantage of the bathroom, the doctor said: "Sir, are you well?" "Quite well, thank you, doctor," was the reply. "Then, sir let well alone. I hate immersion." Convict's Pet Mouse. On completion of a three years' sen tence, a convict has left Peterhead penitentiary, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, accompanied by the companion of his Imprisonment, a brown mouse. He caught it while working in the quar ,rIes shortly after his arrival at Peter head. The mouse shared its captor's meals, and in 12 months had learned a variety of tricks, such as eating out 'of the convict's hand and sitting up at the word of command. Evidently a Genius. He put every cent he had into an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" show, and at the end of four weeks his treasurer, with $400 to the good, skipped out durhig the night. So he said to himself: "I'll catch the cus," and set the blood hounds they had in the show on his trail. "Catch him?" he said, in speaR ing of it later. "Sure they did. They caught up with him, and he put chains around their necks, and started an other show." Knowledge. Knowledge is like the coin of ex change. A man is justified, to a 'de gree, in taking pride In its possession, if he himself worked over the gold of it and tried to coin it, or, at least, it he came by it honestly, already test ed out. But when he did not do any thing of the kind, but got it from some passer-by who threw it in his face, then what ground has he to boast of it?-John Ruskin. Method in Their Living. "Don't you think, dear," began Comfy, "that our next door neighbors, the Scrubbs, are putting on a great deal too much style, considering the fact that they never know from day to day where the next meal is coining from?" "Well," replied Mrs. Comfy, "you see, the more style they put on the more likely they are to be invited out to dinner." Industrious Firemen. Firemen in Amsterdiam have little idle time. Many of them are skilled workmen. Every station has its own workdhop, where all repairs are made, and where automobiles are built, ex cept as to the chassis. Amsterdam was one of the first cities to put motor apparatus into use in the fire department; Diagnosed. "I've cared for several persons," she explained, "but I never have loved anyone so that I would have been willing to give up my home and work for him, if necessary.
