Being Sat U fled with One's Lot If at N i>lo State of Mind. Contentment is a precious posses sion. You who have this jewel care for it carefully. Let no storms darken its heauty for a moment Add to it day by day the precious stones of meekness and quietness. Be thankful for the gift of making others happy. Con tentment in a circle is like the bril liant sun shedding its light serenely on all around. Oh! for the mind that can pass by the splendors of this life and yet npt covet them; the rosy cheeked girl in modest gown and shabby bonnet who can look at her well-dressed neighbor without an ach ing, envious heart. Oh! for the spirit of the man who, beholding his friend ride by in a splendid carriage, can still go calmly back to his plow or hoe with out a bitter thought. Such a one is truly as far above the sneers and laughter of the unthinking as is heav en above earth. Contentment is that quality of some minds that makes the possessor happy in spite of reverses or misfortune. Do not worry; It does no good and merely renders you more dis contented and unhappy. It wears on your nerves, makes you angry and cross, and leaves you in a state of ner vous prostration, so that when real trouble comes it finds you unable to manfully cope with it. If by strong am bition and hard work on your part you cannot better your condition in life, be satisfied with your lot and let your smile of contentment make some sun shine in the lives of your less favored friends.—Mrs. W. H. Crandall of Stan ton, Ala., in Pennsylvania Grit. HAD TO SKIP THE LATIN. Lawyer's Embarrassment Before Supreme Court Furnishes Amusement. "While I was in practice,” says Judge Gates of Kansas City, “I was before the Supreme Court on one oc casion. While waiting for my case to be called I listened to a lawyer from the southeastern part of the state ar guing his case. He wras at least 6 feet 7 inches tall, and had a voice so deep that when he spoke it seemed like the rumbling of Niagara. ‘I will read,’ he said, ‘from a work with which your honors are no doubt familiar— Blackstone.’ The judges did not smile, although there was a decided twinkle in their eyes as they glanced at each other. The man read a few lines and then said: ‘There is refer ence here, your honors, to a footnote by Lord Granville. I would have your honors pay particular attention to this note, because it is by Lord Granville.’ The judges waited ex pectantly. The lawyer held the book in front of him, glanced at it two or three times and then coughed as many times in rather an embarrassed man ner. Everybody waited for several seconds. Finally he said: ‘Your hon ors, I see on closer inspection that this footnote is in Latin, so I reckon I’d better skip that.’ ” Wild Animals That Come High. That large sums of money are spent an zoological gardens every one knows, vet few persons have any idea of the actual market value of the more im portant animals in such gardens, and for this reason an article on the sub ject by Herr Ernest Pinckert, director of the garden in Leipsic, is now at tracting attention in Europe. A com mon seal, he says, is worth only a few dollars, but one of a rare species costs from $300 to $450. A lion is worth from $130 to $600, according to its age tnd race. A Siberian tiger costs $1,000, a Bengal tiger $500 and a Java tiger only $800. The price of a good zebra is not lcrs than $500, and a good bison aosts $800, while an inferior specimen can be bought for $500. An African elephant cannot be bought for less than $1,200. Finally, Herr Pinckert says, that of all exotic animals there is hardly one which is as costly as the giraffe, the lowest price for such an animal being $3,000 and the usual price from $4,000 to $5,000. Many of the smaller animals in a zoological garden are also high-priced, one reason being that for many rare animals there is a keen competition, not only among managers of zoological gardens, but also among proprietors of circuses and other traveling shows. Not That Kind of Animal. Way back in the mountains of West Virginia a Presbyterian minister some time ago fell in with some people who seemed to be well fitted for the mis sionary efforts on which he was bent. He had been riding nearly all day and late in the afternoon came upon a cabin set in the midst of a woodland. Near the door was a spare, straight haired woman, who gazed at him curi ously. The minister spoke to her courteously and made some inquiries regarding the neighborhood. Her hus band was a hunter, the woman said. “And is he a God-fearing man?” asked the preacher. "I reckon so,” came the slow reply, ” ’cause lie always takes his gun with him.” The visitor has tily changed the subject and inquired if there were any Presbyterians in the neighborhood. “I dunno,” said the woman, simply, “but there’s a lot of skins hanging up in the cabin; you can look at ’em and see if you can find any.”—Baltimore Sun. Crushing a Lawyer. De Wolfe Hopper was once a wit ness in a suit for slander, and the op posing counsel in the courtroom said: “You are an actor, I believe?” “Yes,” replied Hopper. "Is not that a low calling?” “I don’t know, but it’s so much better than my father’s that I am rather proud of it.” “What was your father's calling, may I ask?” “He * was a lawyer,” said Hopper. Aleutians DM by the Hundreds. The rapid decline of the native popu lation of the Aleutian chain of islands Is told in a report just received by (he marine hospital service from Mr. F. J. Thornbury, Us assistant surgeon at Dutch harbor, Alaska. The report says that formerly there were 120 vil lages on the islands with a native population variously estimated at from 1,600 to 2,500. Now, in the same dis trict there are only 10 villages and 1,000 inhabitants, exclusive of whites, of whom 300 are creoles (mixed breed with Russians and other nationalities) and 700 natives. “Mt. McKinley.” A bill will bo introduced into the next New Hampshire legislature changing the name of Mount Pleas »nt, in the Presidential range, to ‘Mount McKinley.” There is prece lent for the change, Inasmuch as, bo lides the five early Presidents, only those who have been shot by assas 1ns have had their names given to mountains. The name Lincoln was be stowed on the second highest peak of the Franconia group, and "Mount Gar field” displaced Haystack mountain in 1881. Four Territories Seeking Admission. There are now four territories seek ing admission into the Union as states *nd according to all precedents they have a better chance of succeeding in the matter in Congress, especially in advance of a presidential election, if they are of the same politics as the dominant party in Washington. Of the four, three, Oklahoma, New Mex ico and the Indian Territory are gen erally regarded as Republican, and only one, Arizona, as Democratic.— New York Sun. Epitaph for Equine. A recent number of the Westminster Gazette contains the following obitu ary notice: "Mercifully sent to sleep at Landguard, full of years and honor. Freedom, a chestnut mare belonging to Dr. Cowper. She was bred by me and was named ‘Freedom’ by Mr. Bart lett on account of her absolute free dom of movement when quite a tiny Ally. In her best days she would be hard to pass on any road.” Trick in* a Chronolo& er. President Pritchett of the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, in relating his experience in college re cently, said that the way boys had of finding a certain professor was to step into the middle of the college yard and call out a date in American his tory. Instantly the professor would come out from some window or door in the college and say that the date was incorrect. Local Option in Mississippi. Few as the saloons are in Missis sippi, they pay nearly one-third of the state’s total Income from privilege tax es. Mississippi is regarded as one of the most ultra of prohibition states, made so by the anti-saloon sentiment In a majority of the counties under the local option system. Fourteen of the counties pay the bulk of the $150, 000 received annually from this tax. American Enterprise in Mexico. An American syndicate has Just bought the old McKenzie concession to supply the City of Mexico with water. The water will be brought from the Almoloya springs, forty miles south west of this capital. The work will in clude sixteen miles of canal, six miles of steel p ,iing and the installation of motive power. American Coal in Enrope. So great has become the demand tor American coal in Europe that it has been decided to build an immense receiving station for unloading, screen ing and grading coal in northern France. Rates have been made on French roads which will drive Ger man coal out of central Europe. Sues Neighbor for Raising Mosquitoes. A man in Chappaqua, N. Y., has sued his neighbor for damages because the neighbor built a dam on his premises, creating a pond which has since been a breeding place for mosquitoes. The man who sues says that there never were any mosquitoes around his place until this dam was built. Nursemaid. Behind British Recruits. General Buller once explained why It was necessary to put such showy clothing on most of tha troops: “Be cause a showy uniform attracts Mary Ann, the nursemaid, who makes Tom my Atkins join the army. In plain uniforms, you would find recruiting a harder job than ever." An Independent American Citizen. While riding In a Maine country road a traveler observed a field of corn which was overrun with rank weeds, and midway of the place was a large, conspicuously displayed sign with the following: “Notiss! None of Your Business if This Corn Ain’t Hoed." Clean Persons Among Lepers. In the leper settlement on the island 'of Molakal, there were 909 lepers and 164 “clean” persons. The general opinion was that the “clean" would in time become leprous. Nearly 1,100 people are housed, fed and clothed for about $80,000 a year. --- Tolstoy Independent of Doetors. Count Tolstoy Is not an obedient pa tient. Some time ago hi3 physicians told him not to walk or ride on horse back, but he did what he pleased, re marking, “I know better than all physicians v$hat Is good for me." I of grain can be threshed in a day (and ' ! threshed perfectly and separated thoroughly, ! without waste) if you have a Nichols-Shepard Sep- < arator. And the straw will be handled easily, without ! the slightest trouble and almost no litter, if you use the Nichols- 1 Shepard Swinging Stacker. This takes the place ami does the work of ] ati independent stacker. It oscillates automatically, is easily swung to ! right angles with the separator to carry the straw to cither stack or barn. \ This stacker has been demonstrated by thorough and practical tests in 1 the field to be the handiest, most efficient swinging stacker ever attached ! to a thresher.
