Certainly it seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to speak of export ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every tear the Quaker fiats Company sends Hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Oats to Great Britian and Europe. The reason is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture smthat he might get that desirable foreign trade. How well he has succeeded would be seen at a glance at the export re ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is recognized as without a rival in clean liness and delicious flavor. 51 lions in Illinois: for violations of tin lo(,al option laws have resulted in per I seditious. 111 Tlie meat dealers are not in any pnrtietiiur rush to out prices They know the Anicrlenn people too well to worry.

We'll all he < harmed to meet them, don't ye know? The present agitation in favor of raising second class postage from I (o !> cents a pound is putting a premium upon popular ignorance, and a muzzle on the press. Ttie Chicago man who lias been Kciitem ed. to 7.7 days in jail for steal ing seven copper cents is no doubt eonvlaced that he got at least all that was earning to him.

The report of the Chicago Trib une's investigation into the cause of the prevailing high prices, offers little consolation to Hie man without money and with an indefinable yearn ing in the center of his being. Latest returns from the English elections Indicate what will virtually amount to a tie. The problems which this unusual satisfaction must raise will puzzle the statescraft of the best of English politicians. Pie Hiawatha World pokes fun at The Tribune on account of some trivial item concerning Dr. Cook and liis assumed discovery of the north pole; and to make the matter more serious the Journal of this city jumps in with an article nearly a column in length to our rescue, dragging in “1 lorcxlotus"- whoever that worthy was the Kgyptlon king Nekao, Paul !>u Chaillu. lletiry M. Stanley and Marco Polo. And all this in January too, when the air is bracing and the nights conducive to that brand of slumber that clears the brain of dreams of gorillas, pygmies. white rats and purple cows. Had this ef fort been promulgated during the heated term of it July or August, little would have been thought of it by tin- reading public -but in Jan uary! Mercy! Try a pink pill. Newspapers are to fight the pro posed second class postage increase. The versatility of the newspaper is not to be doubted; it can turn just as gracefully from fighting it buzz saw to sparring with a soft-boiled egg as it can from sipping soup with a fork to “eating ’em alive." The "postage increase" had better gird on a couple of extra pads under its armor.

This boycott on meat is the best ; thing that ever struck this country. We till eat too much meat If this boycott is genuine and the people keep their pledges to abstain, in one year the death rate of this country will be reduced ten per cent. The attorney general of tile state of Washington lms declared the open ing of public schools with prayer to be unconstitutional, .lust beats any thing the way the old constitution is twisted around to suit the personal ideas of some people. ■■I. ■ ■ ■ ■ IN — I ... ||. Compulsory education is being urged for Maryland. Hut some peo ple are so prejudiced against what they're forced to learn. They like to trust to experience and then pray that that dear teacher won't come their way._ Six thousand men in Cleveland, O., have signed a pledge to abstain from meat eating for one month in an ef fort to break the high prices. The "patriotism of peace" now lias a companion-piece in the patriotism of necessity. Silvery Way John lirent was trimming his hedge, and the snip, rnip of his shears was a pleasing sound to his tais. In the rear of him stret ched a wide, smoothly-kept lawn, in the center of which stood his resi dence, a handsome, massive, modern structure which had cost him not less than $110,000. Just beyond the hedge was a pub lic sidewalk, and two boys stopped opposite to where he was at work, he on the one side of the hedge and they on the other. “Hello, Fred! That's a very hand some tennis racquet,’’ one of them said. “You paid about seven dollars for it. didn't you?” “Only six, Charlie," was the reply, "Your old one is in prime order yet. What will you take for it?” “1 sold it to Willie Robbins for one dollar and a half.” replied Fred. “Well, now. that was silly." deelar-j eil Charlie. “I'd have given you three) dollars for it." “You are too late,” replied Fred. | “1 have promised it to Willie.' “Oh! you only promised it. to him. I eh? And lie's simply promised to pay for it, I suppose? “I'll give you three dollats cash for it." "1 can t do it. Charlie ” “You can if you want to. A dollar and a half more isn't to be sneezed | at.” "Of course not." admitted Fred, "and I'd like to have it, only 1 prom ised the racquet to Willie.” "But you are not bound to keep your promise. You are at liberty to take more for it. Toll him that i of fered you another time as much more and that will settle it." “No, Charlie,” gravely replied the other bov; "that will not settle it, neither with Yt'illie nor with me. 1 cannot disappoint him. A bargain is a bargain. The racquet is iiis, even if it hasn’t been delivered." "Oh, let him have it.” retorted Charlie, angrily. "Fred Fenton. . 1 will not say that you are a chump, but I’ll predict that you’ll never make a successful business man. You are * too punctilious." John Brent overheard the conver sation, and he stepped to a gap in the hedge in order to get a look at the boy who bad such a high regard for his word. "The lad has a good face, and is made of the right sort of stuff,” was the millionaire’s mental comment. "He places a proper value upon in integrity, and he will succeed in busi ness because he is punctilious." The next day, while lie was again working on liis hedge, John Brent ov erheard another conversation. Fred Fenton was again a participant in 'Fred, let us go over to the <*ircus lot." the other boy said. “The men are putting up the tents for the after noon performance " “No, Joe; I d rather not," Fred said. "lint why?’ "On account of the profanity. One never hears anything good on such occasions, and I would advise you not to go. My mother would not want, me "Did she say you shouldn't?" "No, Joe." "Then let us go. You will not be disobeying her orders." "But I will be disobeying her wish es." insisted Fred. "No. i ll not go." "That i.i another good point in that boy," though John Brent, "A boy who respects his mother's wishes very rarely goes wrong." Two months later John Brent ad vertised for a clerk in his factory, and there wen at least a do/n ap plicants. "i can simply take your names and residences this morning,” he said. "I'll make inquiries about you, and notify the one whom I conclude to select." Three of the boys gave their names and residences. "What is yeur name?" he asked, as he glanced at the fourth hoy. "Fred Fenton, sir," was the re ply. John Ilrent remembered the name and the boy. li lookd at him keenly, > a pleased smile crossed his face. “You can stay," he said, I've been suited sooner than I expected t.o be," he added, looking at the other boys and dismissing them with a wave of his hand. "Why did you take me?" asked Fred, in surprise. "Why were inquir ies not necessary in my case? You do not know me." "I know you better than you think I do," John Brent said with a signif icant smile. "But I offered you no recoin meu dations," suggested Fred. “My boy, it. wasn’t necessary,” re plied John Brent. "I overheard you recommend yourself," and as he felt disposed to enlighten Fred, ku told him about the two conversa tions. The rivers eat away their banks, The tides devour the sand. The morning sun drinks up the mists, The ocean eats the land; Taxes cat up a property. And pride <ats out the soul. ,j| But the moths the diet record hold Because they eat a hole! THIS AND THAT WHERE one man gets rich through hazardous speculation, a hundred get poor. WHERE one man stays poor through the slow methods of saving, a hund red get rich. The wise man saves a part of his earnings and places his mon ey in the bank to use when needed.
