All
the Fun Out of It
One day a peddler of tinware stopped
nt n country house in New England
and leaving his horse and wagon at
the gate went to the door where a
big woman with a rather pleasant
face met him He told her what he
had for sale and succeeded in dispos
ing of half a dozen articles to her
Then she said that she had not money
enough to buy more
Well maam said the peddler Ill
take rags If you have any
I have none to sell answered the
woman
The peddler saw at least a dozen
children all small about the house
and the yard and he suddenly thought
of a joke that he might play on the
woman
You seem to have plenty of chil
dren he said Maybe you might sell
me one of them and take the pay In
tinware
What will you give said the wo
man
Ill give 10 said the man all in
the best tinware
Well sir said the woman its a
bargain ta your pick of the lot
The peddler was surprised that his
joke was working so well but he kept
a very serious face and selecting a
very bright looking little fellow of
six years he took him up and put him
on the seat of the wagon and then
gave the woman 10 worth of such
articles as she wanted
Never doubting that the mother
would repent of her bargain and give
him to redeem the boy 10 in money
the minute she saw him starting off
he climbed up on the seat touched up
his horse and drove off lie drove
very slowly however for he expected
every second to hear the woman call
him back for how could he think for
a moment that a mother would sell
her child for a lot of tinware V
But she did not call him back
much to his amazement while as for
the boy he was in high glee for he
was going to have a drive Presently
the peddler fearing that the joke had
been turned on him drove back to the
gate Lifting the disappointed little
fellow down from the wagon he wpnt
with him to the door where he found
that the woman had just finished ar
ranging her new tins nicely on her
shelves
I think the boy will not do after
all said the peddler and you had
better take him back and let me have
my tins
No sir cried the woman A bar
gains a bargain and you must stick
to it
Why maam said the man sure
ty you wouldnt sell your little son for
a lot of tinware
Oh answered the woman I have
no children mister The boys and girls
you see here are pauper children and
as you seem to be a good sort of man
Ill sell you as many of em as you
want for 10 apiece
The peddler stared at her for a min
ute in speechless amazement and then
turning suddenly toward his wagon
he drove away as fast as his horse
could take him
But he left his tins behind him

NEW SECRETARY OF WAR
Luke E Wright Who Succeeds to
Shoes of William H Taft Again
The choice of Luke B Wright a life
long Democrat to succeed William II
Taft as secretary of war recalls the
appointment of Walter Q Gresham of
Indiana a lifelong Republican as sec
retary of state during the second ad
ministration of the late Grover Clove
land Judge Gresham Avas postmaster
general and secretary of the treasury
In the administration of President Ar
thur and was himself a candidate for
the presidential nomination on the Re
publican ticket in 1SSI and 1SSS In
1S92 however he supported Grover
Cleveland and this led to his being in
vited into a Democratic cabinet de
spite his long associations with politi
cians of the other camp
It was an appointment which occa
sioned much discussion at the time
General Wright was classed as a
Democrat when he went to the Philip
pines His promotion from one Impor
tant post to another since that time
has come in consequence of his show
ing especial capability for the
LUKE E WRIGHT
charge of the responsibilities thrust
upon him When Judge Taft was calied
to Washington to become secretary of
war II r Wright who had been vice
governor and had acted as governor
general several times in the absence of
Mr Taft stepped quite naturally into
the shoes left by the latter lie served
as governor general until lJOO when
he became the first American ambassa
dor to Japan in which post he was suc
ceeded not long ago by Ambassador
OBrien He was appointed to tho
Philippines commission in 1000 by
President McKinley who desired that
the members of that body should not
be all of one party He was only a
boy when the civil war broke out hav
ing been born in 1S47 It is said that
in making the appointment the presi
dent was influenced by the desire tG
recognize that there is no longer any
dividing line between north and south
General Wright had three sons fighting
lvu ins reuniieu country in tue war
against Spain He is the son of a for
mer chief justice of Tennessee and wa
himself an attorney general for eight
years lie married a daughter of Reai
Admiral Raphael Semmes of the Con
federate navy and of Alabama fame

The
Sfcte
WON ON A BLUFF
Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business
There is a prosperous merchant In
Chicago today who owes his success to
his donation of a 300O organ to a
cfitircii at a time wheu he didnt have
money enough to buy a hand organ
This donation was a case of bluff pure
and simple but the bluff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth of
the lucky bluffer
John Smith was seeking capital to
start In business for himself but as he
had no security worth speaking of he
could not borrow the money he needed
When he had tried every person he
could think of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the incli
nation to lend it and had been turned
down he conceived the Idea of present
lug his church with an organ
I Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself The
uiaciurers oi ine organ never mougiu
6f questioning the financial standing
of the philanthropist who was handing
out 3000 organs and agreed to have
the instrument sot up in the church on
time
Of course J Smith was not a bud
that was born to blush unseen nor did
he hide his beneficeuce under a bushel
lie managed to bring in at least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
of conversation Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means of the church onrau but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congregation spread the news of his
gift
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa to grow under his feet On
the pretense of consulting some
wealthy member of the congregation
about some minor details of the organ
he would drop into an office and be
fore he left casually would mention tho
subject of the company that he was
forming Most of the men that he thus
saw thought that it would be a good
thing to be associated with a man who
was making so mucB money that he
was able to hand out i000 without
missing1 It so that allwere aixious to
take stock in J Snlitirs company
Long before the time came for the
first pay men on tle organ Smith had
gathered eiKxigh money to start his
business and vwjs dxring so well he had
no difficulty In borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment From
that time he has made mouey so fast
that now he could give away several
5000 organs and pay for them as
well Chicago Tribune
MEXICAN POLITENESS
In the State of Michoacan Chivalry Is
Compulsory
If any man opines that the days of
chualry and the true knight errant
spirit have gone forever let him start
forthwith on a far southward journey
not halt his steps until he brings up
in the town of Morelia which is the
capital of the Mexican state of
Michoacan remarked a traveling
man
Having arrived in Morelia he will
at once see that the chivalrous spirit
sun survives i was down there not
long ago and the gallantry of the men
and their extreme readiness to extend
courtesies to the fair sex pleased and
surprised me When I noticed the
alacrity with which the native males
jumped up on the crowded street car
to offer their seats to the first senorita
that entered I thought to myself how
much more gentlemanly are these
Mexicans than many of my own coun
trymen They do not wait to see if
some other man is going to get up but
each tries to beat the other in cour
teously proffering his seat to the lady
I spoke about the matter to the pro
prietor of the hotel and immediately
he began to laugh
You must understand senor said
the innkeeper that the governor of
our state issued a decree that if any
man keep his seat in a street car
thereby compelling a woman to stand
he is liable to arrest and a fine The
police have been instructed to execute
mis order severely and I think this
has much to do with the prompt polite
ness of which you speak since n me of
our population wishes to become in
volved with the police and to be pub
licly branded as lacking in gentility
