The late Thomas Bone, "the sailor's missionary,” was the soul of kindliness, but he was seldom worsted in repartee. One of the many instances of this giv en in his just published life is the fol lowing: "His work was not without Its hu morous side. Among the new men there were always some who sought a little amusement at his expense, but they reckoned without melr host. His kindly manner never changed. The smile never left his fa<;e. There was no venom in the retort, but it seldom failed to silence the interrupter. The laugh raised at his expense made it quite certain that no second attempt would be made. "Seeing him approaching one day, one of a group of sailors announced his intention of having some fun. He stepped forward and removed his hat, revealing a perfectly smooth crown, and asked: " 'Can you tell me why my head is so bald, while all my companions have plenty of hair?” " 'I don’t know,' was the smiling re ply, 'unless the reason given me the other day by a farmer would apply, that an empty barn is not worth shing ling.’ ” Strongest, blackest Kentucky or Mis souri tobacco, if kept and properly cured for two or three years, wherther chewed or smoked, has the smoothest, finest effect upon the system of any to bacco extant. t Libby’s Vienna Sausage w.

From the Chicago News. Wise Is the man who closes hi* face be fore he says too much. The man who does his best can trust the world to do Its part. Our mistakes of yesterday are respon sible for our worries of today. It's as diftlcult for some people to let go as it is for others to catch on. Many a man’s ideas of clothing com fort is the kind his wife won’t let him wear. After a man gets to be a millionaire he can afford to carry a shabby umbrella. Occasionally a man is so absent-minded that he pays his gas bill the day before it is due. We wonder if the Lord loves a cheerful giver as much as the cheerful giver loves himself. If a man never told a lie it’s because no young mother ever asked him what he thought of her baby. When you hear a girl speak of a young man as being a bear—well, you can draw your own conclusions. A bachelor says matrimony is a sort of training school in which some women learn the art of drawing alimony. A small boy doesn’t have a very good time at a picnic unless he requires the services of a doctor a few hours later. Fools in glad rags are often permitted to rush in where unlaundered hobos would be knocked down and dragged out. Beware of people who pat you on the back. They may be looking for an op portunity to kick your feet from under you. If there’s one thing in a newspaper that interests a fat woman more than the bar gain sales it is the obesity cure adver tisements.

Trouble with the kidney secretions is a certain sign that your kidVeys are deranged—that you should use Doan's Kidney Pills. They cure all irregu larities and annoy ances, remove back ache and side pains and restore the kid neys to health. Mrs. John B. Whittaker, 303 Jefferson St., Madison, lnd., says: “Kidney t r o u b le caused me to suffer terribly from headaches, backaches and extreme weakness. I had days of depression and languor and at times my ankles swelled. I was nervous and worn out. Doctors and kidney remedies failed to help until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills. I am in better health now than I have been for years, thanks to them.” Remember the name—Doan’s. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Fos ter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. A Servant of the Lord. From the Boston Herald. Judge George F. Lawton of the Mid dlesex probate court, told me a story the other day of an American minister who was spending his sabbatical year traveling abroad. Arriving in Lon don, he made every effort to get an Intimate view of the two branches of parliament in session. Of course no stranger is allowed on the floor of the house of lords, but the minister not knowing this, and with the usual amount of American push, tried to make his way in. There is a rule, how ever, that servants of the various lords may be admitted to speak to their masters. Seeing the minister walking boldly in. the doorkeeper asked: “What lord do you serve?” “What lord?” repeated the aston ished American. “The Lord Jehovah!" For a moment the doorkeeper hesi tated and then admitted him. Turning to an assistant standing near, he said: “He must mean one of those poor Scotch lairds." Sore throat is no trifling ailment.

Lord O’Brien, whose pleasantries as sisted to keep up the merriment in the great dresses suit w hich terminated in decisively yesterday, was a prominent figure in political life as Sir Peter O’Brien, known by his opponents as “Peter the Packer.’’ A good story of the judge was going the rounds of the common rooms some time ago. He was trying an action, so the legend runs, one of the parties being a well known litigant. Counsel could do nothing with her and then the lord chief justice, who knew the lady, having been engaged, when at the bar, for or against her, tried his skill. He began, “Nowr, Brid get. pay attention to me.’’ The witness drew' herself to her full height, faced the judge, and in a monitory tone re plied, “Mrs. Moriarity, if you please, Father.” Kn, Wlatltw'i Boothmi« Stitt? for Children teething, BofUat tbs gam*. redBOM infUininati on. allays pain, cure* wind colic. 25c a bottle.

Teaching Thrift in Japan. From the Philadelphia item. Not only Is Japan encouraging agri culture through the enginery of model farm experimental stations, lectures and what not, but likewise it is at tempting to prove the lot of the agri culturist. There is going on in Japan today a big work of uplifting, to em ploy our sorely tried American phrase. Foremost in this movement is a so ciety known as the Hotokukwai, which may be translated as the society for moral and economic advancement. Its main strengtli is being put forth in improving rural conditions and in mak ing life in the rural communities more worth the living through the extension j of amusements, charities, education, ' social features of one kind and an- l other and by the development of agri- I cultural enterprises. It has organized the young people 1 everywhere and started branches in i about 210,000 of the smaller hamlets and villages of Japan. The Hotokukwai Is assisted In its laudable efforts by the government of Japan, which gives its money from time to time; by the heads ; of the various prefectures and by the villages themselves. It has built up an agricultural society in every prefectural district, separate ones in the larger towns, and put over all of these a cen tral agricultural agency in Toldo to aid and direct them. If any of the mem bers of the numerous branches of the society choose to visit one of the big cities they are conducted by a repre sentative of the organization through its schools, factories and workshops, and shown its most interesting sights. The society likewise Issues a number of periodicals and papers for the in struction and intellectual awakening of its members. The Agricultural associa tion of Motosu district recognized the advantage of using the influence of Buddhist priests for improvement in agriculture. So In August, 1906, 70 Buddhist priests of various sects were called together and instructed how to cultivate rice, barley and vegetables and how to hunt the injurious insects. The attempts proved successful and the I results were remarkably good. To foster the spirit of industry and economy and te encourage an auxiliary work among formers the manufacture of wicker lunch baskets was started among common school students of Namazu village. The wages were to be either used for school expenses or deposited as postal savings. The ma terial being waste pieces discarded in the making of wicker trunks, this work is proving very profitable and ; hopeful. Shimo-Nakajima village abounds In deep, muddy rice fields, which are suit- j able for the growth of leeches. Taking advantage of this students of the com- 1 mon school were made to gather leeches for the purpose of encouraging the spirit of industry and economy among them. The work was started in June, 1904, and in that year almost 3,000 leeches were caught and sold, about 15 yen ($7.50) being made. In 1905 about 5,000 were caught and more than 30 yen ($15) was made. Each time the money j was deposited as a Joint saving. In 1906 more than 10,000 leeches were gath ered. The children expect a greater in come as well as a larger demand, and are much interested. Pointed Paragraphs. From the Chicago News. Keeping a secret is one kind of a con fidence game. Sell-admiration is apt to cause a man to stretch the truth. The man who lives by his wits is not always a high liver. It is easier to renew a good resolution than a promissory note. The married beauty always looks upon her husband as the beast. Misery loves company, but not any more than happiness does. No woman wants her offspring to pose as an object lesson at a mother’s meeting. One of the things a man can't under stand Is why his enemies seem to have so many friends. And the smile of a good woman will do a man more good than a dozen handed to him by a bartender. After a man has been married a year he can't see any reason why his wife should want a new hat. He Knew. From Illustrated Bits. A member of the Nebraska legisla ture was making a speech on some mo mentous Question, and in concluding said: "In the words of Daniel Webster, who wrote the dictionary, 'Give me lib erty or give me death.'

Racine, W’ls., Special.—After 14 year* retirement, In which he was tenderly cared for on a stock farm near this city, Jay-Eye-See, the first 2:10 trotter the country produced, died on the Pleasant View farm, managed by Charles Bull. For the last. 14 years, Jay-Eye-See had been having trouble with hid teeth. They were In Buch poor condlJ tlon he was unable to get the propel1 nourishment. Repeated efforts were made by well known veterinarians td give the "old fellow” treatment, but lie steadfastly refused to allow them; The spot on the farm where his roJ mains lie will be marked by a granite Shaft. Owned by Case. The famous trotter got Its name from James I. Case, the late millionaire vo-* hide manufacturer of Racine, Wls.) who secured him In Kentucky. The horse was thrown In on a horse bar gain and later was developed Into ft country-wide racing sensation by his trainer, Charles Blther. Jay-Eye-See was 31 years old, having been foaled In 1878 on the farm ot Colonel Richard West, near Lexington, Ky. He was by Dictator, a full brother to Dexter (2:17%); first dam Midnight by Pilot, Jr.; second dam, Darkness by Wagner. The story of how the late James I Case came to buy him Is Interesting. He went down to Kentucky to get a string cf horses from Colonel West. e < He was not exactly satisfied with the price named, and to satisfy him Colonel W^t brought out the gelding and “Here, Case, I’ll throw this animal In with the lot.” Had Odd uait. Case, with hardly a look at the horse, eaid: “All right.” He came home and Anally the string of Kentucky horses arrived at his farm. AVhen the string was tried out Jgy Eye-See, which was thus named from fhe Initials on his new owner, was looked upon as a freak. He would rack, pace and trot Indiscriminately, and no Unount of scientific training could got him down to a respectable and steady fait. Whenever a party of visiting horse men would come to the Case stables the trotting stock would be shown with considerable pride by Edwin Blther, the driver of Case's horBes, but he al ways hitched up Jay-Eye-See last In Order to amuse them. Just as soon bb the gelding was on the track he would begin a fantastlo combination of racking, trotting and pacing, and his habit of rambling from tide to side of the course created much amusement. In fact, Jay-Eye Beo was considered the “Joker" of the Case string. Would Have Brought 950,000. One day a party of visitors was look ing over the stock, and Just prior to Its departure Blther brought out the little fellow for his customary exhibi tion. To the utter astonishment of Blther and the attaches, Jay-Eye-See started off In a straight trot. Blther then took him in hand and developed him into the wonder the horse afterward came to be. When four years old, Jay-Eye-See made a record of 2:19; at five years old, 2:10%, and at six years old, 2:10, and It was at this time that he electrified the trotting world, and his name was a household word. ■ He beat St. Julian and It was In Providence that he made the world record of 2:10 In 1884. After that he was In demand at all tracks of the country. Soon after the tendons of one leg weakened und his gait was changed to a pace. He went a mile In 2.06V4, which made the fastest combination record reported of any animal In the world, and which has never been beat en. At that time 850,000 was offered for him arid refused.

Cupid denies all connection with bar gain-counter marriages. How one woman does enjoy seeing another fall In love with the wrong man! Don’t hold your head so high that you can't see where your feet are go ing. A married man enjoys attending a wedding almost as much as he does a funeral. Some snobbish people would rather be foolish than have sense of the com mon kind. " The wages of sin are promptly paid by women, but men try to repudiate the debt. ’ Some girls are easily won, and some others struggle against It until they lose out entirely.

Here's a hot one on Powell Hale. He entertained In Whlteville, N. C., In ,\prllt so Edwin Weeks says, and a ne gro boy went to the op’ry house with him to tote his grip. After the show was over and the Senagamblan serv itor and good old Hale were meander ing back to the drummer's home, the entertainer said to Snowball; "Did you enjoy the show?" "Yes, sah. I 'Joyed mos’ of It." “You did not enjoy It all, then?" "No, Bah; I 'Joyed It all but de very las' piece what you spoke." "Why, what was the matter with that piece?" "Well, sah. all dem white folk* laffod so loud dey kep' me 'wake en Jurlng the las’ piece.” Color Blind. From Buccess Magazine. Three Irishmen were stopping at a second rate hotel and one of them Im bibed so freely at the bar that he had to bo carried to his room, In which also slept a negro In a separate bsd.

In the morning, when awakened by the proprietor, he got up, and happened to catch sight of hlm lelf In the mirror. “Oh, bejabers," he axolalmed, "If the blamed ldots haven't gone and woke the ntggsr by mistake!" And be orawled back Into bed. Reflections of a Bachelor. From the New York Press. I Half the time when a girl thinks she's In love she’s only Jealous. A woman doesn't really begin to have faith In a man until other people lose It. A woman wants to cheat the custom house because It may get a head start at It and cheat her. Wisdom isn’t when you risk your money on It. The thing that gets a girl excited about 1 a love letter Is what a blot In It means. A widow could get married five times to a girl's once because she's so much smarter at pretending she doesn’t want to. Along comes a prospective centenari an advising a cold bath and going to bed In a wet nightie to bring on com fortable sleep. Good business for un dertakers. I | i R ' i i i A Song of Loneliness.

From the Forester. I A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet, or the contents of a pile eight feet long, tour feet high and four feet wide. Wood t !s marketed on this basis. A pile, whose 1 length, breadth and height multiplied 1 together gives this number of cubic < feet fills this requirement, no matter 1 whether the sticks are long or short, straight or crooked, round or split, un less there is an understanding to the contrary. Nevertheless a cord, though it comes up to legal measurements, Is an uncertain quantity, even when the seller is honest and the buyer satis fied. A lumberman may have a tract of pulp wood which he sells to a paper mill at $5 a cord, for as many cords ns it will make. It is in the contract that he shall cut and stack it. He cuts it In 12 foot lengths, and when the Job is complete, it measures 200 cords, and he receives $1,000 for It. Would he have made or lost by cutting four-foot lengths Instead of 12? He would have lost in the first place from the addition al labor required to cut four-foot wood, but his principal loss would have re sulted from a greatly diminished num ber of cubic feet, due to the fact that short sticks lie closer together than large. Had the 200 cords of 12-foot wood been cut in four-foot lengths, there would have been only 178 cords, and the owner would have received for it $880 Instead of $1,000. It was, there fore, clearly to his advantage to cut 12-foot lengths, but it would have been to the buyer's advantage to have it . cut in four-foot lengths. He would have received the same actual quantity of wood for $120 less. It also makes considerable difference to the seller whether wood is chopped or sawed. If chopped the chips are lost. Where the logs are large this loss amounts to no small total. In a cord of four-foot wood, with sticks six Inches In diameter, the chip loss Is from 6 to 8 per cent, and, of course, the shorter the sticks are cut, the greater the loss. If the wood is sawed, the sawdust loss is scarcely the half of 1 per cent. Cords of i^plit wood contain less than cords of round sticks. The finer the woo<4 is split, the more It makes. Hence wood deulers are often willing to sell kindlings, all sawed and split, for the same price a cord of unspllt wood. They get back the cost of labor in the increased bulk. A cord (128 cubic feet) of four-foot hardwood usually contains about 83 cubic feet of solid wood; a cord of three-foot wood averages 83Vi cubic feet; of two-foot wood, 84 feet, and of one-foot wood, 85 feet. The conifers, softwoods, contain 90 to 96 cubic feet. Thus the purchaser receives on an average about two-thirds of a cord of reql wood und one-third of a cord of spaces. In some countries wood Is bought by weight and the buyer comds more near ly getting what he bargains for. but even then lie may miss it if he receives green wood when he wants dry. Ac cording to timber testing engineers of the Ignited Spates forest service, wood may lose ha*r or more Its gfetn weight In seasoning. PILES “I have Buffered with piles for thirSy six years.
