OLD SMOKESTACKS.
An Article Wot Which There Is Always m
Demand.
Among the very great variety of
things that may be bought at second
hand are smokestacks of iron or of
■tool. It may be that an establishment
puts in a bigger boiler and wants a big
ger stank. If it is nsing a steel or an
iron stack, the old one Is taken down
carefnlly and a new one set np The old
stack may bo sold to a dealer in second
hand boilers and machinery, or the
owneT may keep it and sell it himself
to somebody that wants a secondhand
smokestack. If it is sold to a dealer, ho
may remove it to his owu yard, or it
may bo that the original owner keeps it
on his premises nntil the dealer has I
■old it. A manufacturer may move from
one plaoe to another and sell the old
plant, or parts of it. Here would lie a
secondhand smokestack. Secondhand
■tacks are bought by vurn ns users. It
may be that the smokestack of an estab
lishment is worn ont and that the boiler
Is not and that a secondhand stack
would last ont the life of the boiler. In
■uch a case the user would get a second
hand stack If be could find one suitable.
Secondhand stacks may he used with
various temporary plants set np by con
tractors and others. A smokestack may
be blown down in a windstorm uml the
user supply the place of it with one
bought secondhand.
A steal or iron stack costs abont half
as much as a brick stack. A secondhand
iron stack costs about half as much as a
new one. Stacks of metal arc made now
usually of steel. The steel used costs
Dow less than wrought iron. There is
an increasing me of steel instead of
brick stacks. Steel stacks up to (I and 7
feet in diameter wonld be classed as
nnrtable stacks: lamer stacks would lie
of more or less permanent character.
Steel smokestacks are now made up to
18 feet in diameter. Very large smoke
stacks may be lined with brick.
Secondhand smokestaoks up to 3 feet
in diameter are likely to he found in
stock in the yard of the dealer in second
hand boilers and machinery, and he is
likely to have stueksof larger sizes else
where. There is always a demand for
secondhand smokestacks.—New York

AVOIDING “A TOUCH."
One Womii'a Cheerful Method of Deny*
Inf a Polite KequeNt.
Men have something to learn from
women in the art of warding off
“touches” for coin. Women respond to
such requests about onoe in every thou
sand times, bnt they are scientiAo in
their refusals. A Washington woman
with a reputation as a borrower turned
up at the home of one of her friends the
other morning with a much done over
story about a persistent nnd threatening
dressmaker and the usual request for
the loan—"pay it back tomorrow, cer
tain ’ ’—of ffi.
“ Wby, my dear, certainly,” was the
pleasant response to her carefully re
hearsed little yarn. “ Yon poor thing,
yon I Jnst wait till I run up stairs and
get my purse.”
She ran up stairs. The male head of
the house happened to be in the room
where she kept her purse. He saw her
dig the purse out of a chiffonier drawer
and deliberately remove a wad of bills
from it, leaving abont 87 cents in silver
and copper in the change receptacle.
The man was mean enough to lean over
the stair railing when his wife went
down stairs to the parlor with her flat
tened pocketbook in her hand.
“Oh, I’m so sorry, Mrs. X.,” be
beard her say, “bnt I really thought I
had the money. I And, thongb, that
John, as nsual, has been at my purse—
I heard him say something about set
tling a plumber’s bill last night when I
was half asleep—and the mean thing
has only left me enough for oar fare.
Too bad I Of course, you know, If I had
it.” eto.—Washington Post.
The Coin Cam* Back.
“I haveonoe or twice read bow small
the world was, ” said a young fellow,
“and once or twice I have seen stories
of the same kind I am going to tell. I
confess I never believed them, bat now
I know better. Last summer, when in
New York on my annual visit, I was
■truck with a sudden whim and
scratched my initials on a iiG cent piece,
outting into the silver deep enough to
make a lusting impression. I paid for a
oigar in tbe Hoffman House with the
coin and gnyed myself with being fool
ish. I had forgotten all about tbe quar
ter when I entered a Carrollton car and
gave a half dollar to tbe conductor. Im
agine my surprise when he handed me
in change the Sfi cent piece I spent in
tbe Huffman House! I think I will keep
the ooiu now and ever more as a curios
ity,M and tho speaker pulled the money
from bis pocket and showed it in veri
fication of his story.—New Orleans

THE STAGE DRIVER’S BLUFF.
Bulrbr^tdth Morin of Aroldoata Which
Foiled to A wo Ono i'moayr.
As we left Sandy (Inlrh for Rising
8uu there wore six male passengers to
go by the stage, and the route was over
the mountains and full of chances of
disaster. The driver came from
breakfast as soon as the stage watreedy,
and looking about on the passengers he
selected a small, pale faced man and
invited him to climb up beside him.
While the pale faced man was climbing
tlio driver whispered to the rest of us:
"1 picked him out in order to scare
him to death. You fellows will see a
heap of fun before we've gone ten
miles. ”
Two minutes west of the gulch the
road made a sudden turn, with a sheer
fall of 100 feet down to Wild Cat creek,
and the driver put his horses at tho gal
lop and said to the ninu :
"We may get around all right, or we
may fetoh up down below. Hold your
breath and say your prayers. ”
The passenger made no move and did
not change countenance, and after mak
ing the course all right the driver rather
indignantly demanded:
"Didn’t you see that the off wheel
run within a foot of the edge of the
precipioe?”
"It ran within six inohes, sir," was
tho reply.
Beyond the curve was a down grade
of a mile, and with a yell and a flour
ish of his whip tbo drtver urged his
horses to a dead run. The five of us in
side had to hang on for dear life, and
every half minnte the stage seemed
bound to go over.
"Did yon know that if we’d struck a
rock we'd all been dead men In no
time?”
"Of course.”
“And you wasn't pray in?”
"Not at alL”
Three or fonr miles farther on the
driver tried his man with another nnrvo.
In his determination to make a clone
call of it one wheel ran off the edge of
the precipice, and only a sudden effort
of tho horses saved the coach. We were
flung in a heap and frighteued half to
death, but the man beside the driver
never lost a puff of his cigar. When
things were safe, the driver turned on
him with:
“That surely was the brink of the
grave. ”
“Guess it was," was the quiet reply.
“The closest shave you will ever hev
till tho last one comes.”
“Yes."’
"Wee bore, now, but what eort of a
critter are you?” was the query. “Don’t
you know 'nuff to git skoart?”
“Nothing has happened yet to soars
me. ’’
“But mebbe you want me to drive
plnmb over aprecipioe 1,000 feet high?”
“If you conveniently oan. The fact
is, I came off np here intending to oom
mit suicide, and if yjon oan dump the
whole of us over some oliff you’ll oblige
me. ”—Atlanta Constitution.
8topped the Fight.
“Well,” said Bliggs while sitting up
in bed talking with the family lawyer,
“I’ll tell yon all about it, but not a
word to any one else, mind you.* I’m a
sight and scarred up like the hero of a
German university, but I suppose it’s
something to l.o alive.
“Yon know the governor bas been
urging me to strike out and see what I
could do for myeelf. He’d advance the
money, to be obarged against my share
of tho estate of course. I kept my eye
open and I saw a obanoe that was worth
a fortune in one plunge. A couple of
fellows in our set had a falling out,
with which I think jealousy had some
thing to do, and agreed to put on the
gloves as a safe and honorable way at
aettliug their differences. They had a
private hall, and it didn’t require two
thoughts on my part to oonvlnoe me
that a reproduction of their mill would
make a hit and fortune. To make mire
I provided myself with both a vitasoope
and a veriscope. 1 had a big pile of
films on hand for the occasion, and yon
know that these films are of oellnloid.
The janitor was my fellow conspirator.
“About the third round, and while
we wero getting along swimmingly,
there was an explosion like the blowing
np of a dynamite factory, the select au
dience stampeded, the principals bustled
down the back stairs and the polio#
found me unconscious under a wreck.
Something had set that celluloid off,
and I'll never know what did it No
ene else has a theory. Just tall the gov*
ernor that I made a bad investment "—
