MUcry IjOVCM Compiiny.
Tho man who bought Btool stock
bout a year ago knows how to sympa
thise with tho Russian family that
trnvolcd 3,000 miles with a wagonload
of "fool gold" which netted ?10 at tho
assay ofllco.
Hotter Ifinncctlou Syntcm.
Tho lmmenso growth of tho post
ofllco department of tho United States
calls for a sure system of inspection.
In a business that will soon reach a
total of $160,000,000 a year tho methods I
oi supervision snouiu no roviseu anu
extended to keep pace with tho growth.
Where Hoiiho In Dlncouiiteil.
That pcoplo still llko romance and
lack sense Is shown by Dowlo's story
of tho angel that appeared to him of
fering money, which Is believed by
Zlon's host. Dowlo goes on tho prin
ciple that It is foolish to preach to
peoplo for being silly. Make what can
be mado out of It.
Home Duty Ncfrlectctl.
The mother of ono of tho young
Chicago bandits spent much of hor time
orgalnzlng boys' clubs and doing simi
lar work with tho purposo of keoplng
boys out of saloons, and was Ignorant
ot tho life hor own son was leading.
This Is no reflection on tho value of
such work, but It emphasizes tho old
rule that tho first duty of every parent
lies at homo.
Slight Tumble In NcccMnrlc.
Apparently tho prices of thd ncccssl
lies of lifo aro coming down to accord
With the General fnlllncr off In incomes.
Radium, for instanco, which a few days
ago was selling at $1,000,000, has now
been raarkod down to $000,000 a pound,
and may go lower yet, if tho Yalo pro
fessors who aro trying to extract It
from tho soil of tho Nutmeg stato
meet with success.
I'futiircNawe Variety.
An Italian cobbler fought with n
Chinese laundryman in Manhattan over
u stove-pipe Job dono by a Gorman me
chanic. A Hebrew tailor tried to mako
poaco, and a crowd of negroes gathered
to Beo tho sport. An Irish policeman
arrested tho Chinaman and an Ameri
can surgeon bandaged tho Italian.
Where else ln tho world could such a
Bcono occur except ln this country7
And they aro all Americana.
No Gun, but Many KI1n.
In n dlvorco potltlon filed In Allen
county, Kan., a wife alleges that her
husband refused to put In natural gao
arid compelled her to cook with wood.
Tho potltlon aliogos further that "said
defendant has troated said plaintiff
with groat negllgonco and cruelty" in
splto of tho fact that during 25 years
"sho bore him 12 children of tho ages
respectively of 24, 22, 20, 18, 10, 15, 12,
10, 8, o, 4 years and ono 0 months.
Ilncktiono of the llenublle.
Forty years ago tho farmors owned
55 per cont. of tho wealth of tho coun
try; now they own only 21 per cont.
But posslblv this relative docreaso Is
duo to tho fact that tho farmer cannot
capitalize his farm on tho basis of tho
valuo of tho land and tho profits from
last year's crops and tho estimated
Irouts from next year's crop. Tho
farmer is tho backbone of tho repub
lic, hut ho Is woefully ignorant of high
finance.
Where the C,onl lrieliltf Art-
Of an estimated coal area of about
4,050,000
)0 Bquare miles in tho world,
Is credited with 4,000,000 squaro
China
miles, tho United Stntos has about
280,000 squaro miles, Great Britain 11,
800 miles, Germany 1,770 miles and Bel
gium 510 squaro miles. Area is not,
however, a true measure of value. Tho
anthracito Holds of Pennsylvania In
clude an area of only 4C8 miles, but
these are undoubtedly of more valuo
than itny coal area of like oxtent any
yhero ln tho world.
