Wherein He Differs Occasionally from the "Good Fellow." "They say I am stingy. All right, let it go at that: I AM stiagy. Bat did you ever hear that I was a dead beat?' There was a time when I threw my money away, and stood off my creditors, in order that I might be known as a good fellow, but aow I save my money and pay my debts. There was a time when I spent ten dollars in an evening, bumming aronnd with the boys, and owed the tailor' for the clothes on my back; when I went riding every Sunday with a liv ery rig, and did not pay my board; when I thought it an evidence of smartness to buy cigars and drinks for other people, but now I think it an evidence of sound sense for a man to save the money for which he is compelled to work, in order that he may realise something from it For this I am called stiagy, but I can stand It; in fact, I rather enjoy the title,- for there are so many shiftless fools in this town who Imagine that they are good fellows, hoping to realize on their .wanton waste of money, that I am glad I cannot be classed among them. Ask the bill collectors about the good fellows. The bill col lectors will tell you a story worth listening to and they will also tell yoa that the stingy men pay promptly. There are a lot of old good fellows in Atchison who have not money enough to bury them, and there are stingy fel lows in Atchison who began life under more unfavorable circumstances than the good fellows, and the stiagy fel lows are rich. I recommend that the youag fellows deserve the name of be ing stiagy, for a stiagy man seldom stints himself or his family, but he often refuses to throw his hard-earned money away, aad very properly. A stingy man Is seldom bothered for donations, and, altogether, I like the name." (Found amoag the papers of aa Atchison man who died rich.) Atchison Globe. KEEPS STRICT TAB ON CIGARS. Stm'a Heat.

The following editorial from the Wall Street Journal is somewhat re markable, appearing in a purely finan cial paper, and is certainly worthy of serious consideration: "What-America needs is a revival of piety, the kind mother and father used to have piety that counted it good business to stop for daily family prayer before breakfast, right ia the middle of harvest; that quit field work a half hour early Thursday night so as to get the chores done and go to prayer meeting; that borrowed money to pay the preacher's salary and prayed fervently in secret for the sal vation of the rich man who looked with scorn on such unbusinesslike be havior. That's what we need now to clean this country of the filth of graft, and of greed, petty and big; of wor ship of fine horses and big lands and high office and grand social functions. What is this thing we are wor shiping but a vain repetition of what decayed nations fell down and wor shiped just before their light went out? Read the history of Rome, in de cay and you will find luxury there that could lay a big dollar over our little doughnut that looks so large to us. Great wealth never made a na tion substantial nor honorable. There is nothing on earth that looks good that is so dangerous .for a man or na tion to handle as quick, easy, big money. If you do resist its deadly .in fluences the chances are that it will get your son. It takes greater and finer heroism to dare to be poor in America than to capture a battery in Manchuria." eaed citizenship. One of the most dis couraging features of the country If the low esteem in which woman It held. A great many Brazilian girlc marry by the time they are 12 yean old aad are grandmothers long before they are 30. Woman is regarded as a chattel, and In maay a household ol .the republic never opens her mouth except at the bidding of her husband.' ELECTRIC CORN POPPER HERE. Very Different from the Old .Time Kind Yeu Held Over a Fire. The old fashioned wire corn popper in which you pop corn over a glowing fire. Is familiar enough, but a novelty Is the electric corn popper; In which you pop corn by electricity. The electric corn popper consists of aa aluminum basla with flaring sides, to which Is fitted a dome shaped cov er of wire gauze; this cover to keep the corn from popping out as it porta, and also to enable one to see how the popping is getting on. To the under side of the basla Is permanently at tached a resistance coil in which heat Is produced when the electric current is turned on. In one aide of the popper 'are two plug holes. Iato these holes you in sert the two plugs at one end of n flexible electric wire, the other end of which you screw into the nearest and most convenient electric light socket As everybody knows, la poppiag corn in a wire popper you have to keep the popper moving as yoa hold It over the fire to keep the corn from burning; to permit keeping it agitated to the same end, the electric popper, which Is used on a stand or table. Is mounted on wheels. Cotton ae a Food. Absorbent cotton Is practically pure cellulose andican be easily .converted Into a grape-sugar by the action of sul phuric acid. Cellulose and starch arc Identical In formula to the chemist When we have learned to actually aad cheaply transform cellulose intc starch, says Red Cross Notes, absorb ent cotton will become a source of food, and the struggle for existence for want of food will be at an end. When bread and cakes' are made from absorbent cotton there will be no more "corners" in wheat, no famines, and no high-priced food. HIS ARTISTIC SOUL REVOLTED. DOUBTFUL OF THE GUARANTEE. Didn't See the Jeke. . A certain curate was of a painfully nervous temperament and in conse quence was constantly making awk ward remarks Intended as compli ments to the bishop and others. Having distinguished himself in an unusual degree during a gathering of clergy to am afternoon tea In the bishop's palace, he was taken to task for his -failings by a senior curate, who was one of his companions on the way home. "Look here," said Brace, the senior decidedly, "you are a donkey. Why can't you keep quiet instead of mak lag your asinine remarks? lam speak ing to you now as a brother!" Load laughter interrupted him nt this point aad for the moment he did not see the joke. Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Specific Clause Caused Increase in Price ef Cloth. The Arabs, and, iadeed;all Mos lems, have the practice of re-enforcing promises by adding to" their word of honor the Arabic phrase; Inshallah "please God." How much meaning It conveys in some lands of the3 east is told in the pages of "In Moorish Cap tivity." The pious proviso is a very useful formula to the Moore, and Is frequent ly used in making promises that they have ao intention whatever of keep ing, as they can then take refuge be hind the Almighty when they are taxed with their breach of faith. There is a story told of a man who kept a shop ia Gibraltar, and who knew the ways of the Moor. To him one day came one of the faithful, who was desirous of buylag some cloth. On being informed that the price was two dollars a yard, payment In SO days, he replied: "All right I will take ao much and will pay you ia tt days, Inshallah." "No." said the vender, "the price is two dollars, payment in St days. For St days. Iasaallah, the price is two dollars aad a half." Youth's Com panion. Young Painter Saw Period ef Suffer ing While Earning Needed Money. The youag artist, almost oa the verge of starvation, had just accept ed an order from, an elderly spinster to paint her portrait When the terms aad appotatmeats had been fixed and the spinster waa descending the rick ety studio stairs, a studeat friend of the youag painter, who had overheard the deal, rushed ia from the aext room to offer his congratulations. To his surprise, however, he found his friend sitting downcast before his easel, his head ia his hands. "Why, Francois, why so downheart ed?" he Inquired, stopping short to store at the artist "Didn't I just overhear you bagging aa order to paint a face at l.ttt francs?" "Yes," replied Francois, sadly. "And your need of the money Is something fierce. Isn't it?" And the other nodded. "Then, my friend, you should be kicking the ceiling In your lucky strike!" The artist aow lifted his head slow ly and gazed plteously at his compan ion. "Melvln," said he, "did you. get a glimpse of her?" "No." "Then." said the other, altowlsg his head again to fall Into his heads, "you do not know, my friend, what torture I will have to undergo from morning till night for a whole week studying Chat face!" Illustrated Sunday Magazine. WORLD'S TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS. Proverbs ef Many Natiene Shew Leve and Veneration. At a mothers' meeting a young woman recounted with some pride a number of proverbs about mothers. "'It is easier for a poor mother to keep seven children than for seven children to keep n mother.' That sad and striking proverb," she said, "is from the Swiss. " A mother's love Is new every day. 'He who will not mind his mother will some day ; have to mind the jailer. 'Better lose a rich father than n poor mother. 'A father's love Is only knee-deep, but a mother's reaches to the heart' Those splendid proverbs are all German. "The Hindoos say poetically. 'Moth er mine, ever mine, whether I be rich or poor.' "The Venetians say, 'Mother! He who has one calls her; he who has none misses her. "The Bohemians say, 'A mother's hand is soft even when U strikes. "The Lithuanians say, 'Mother means martyr.'" HAZY AS TO THE CHAUTAUQUA. YOUNG CONVICT WAS A GENIUS. MUSICIANS OF TENDER YEARS. Many -Youthful Prodigies" In the World ef Melody. Like so many of the world's great composers, Sir Edward Elgar was. a "youthful prodigy" of exceptional gifts, as was proved by a recent perform ance of n suite composed by him at the Immature age of 12. But even Sir Edward was probably aot as preco cious as oae of his English predeces sors, Samuel Wesley, who in his eighth year heard a reglmeatal band play a march which he had composed for It At 11 Franz Schubert 'had already placed several songs, string quartettes and piano pieces to his credit Han del's first attempts at composition were made at eight aad Vleuxtomps, who began to scrape the strings of a Uay fiddle at two, la said to have been even more precocious. Sir Charles Halle was only four years old when he played In public a sonata expressly composed for him; Lust was a public performer nt nine, Chopin aad Ruben stein at eight Lady Halle and Joachim at seven, and at five Mozart composed a piece of music almost too dtmcult for his father to play. Australian Saved from Penitentiary Later Did Remarkable Work. Ia the gardeaa attached to the hous es of parliament Melbourne, there Is aa elaborately sculptured -fountain, embellished with human figures, birds, flowers aad various other ornamental work in stone. This fountain has a remarkable history.

When n very polite woman has com pany she never looks at the clock. If by any means her eyes must wander to that side of the room she very carefully looks above the clock, or be low It. or to oae side of It. but never Is she guilty of the rudeness of look ing nt the clock Itself. When a guest looks at the clock aad comments upon the lateness of the hour, then a hos tess may look at It. but she must im mediately, in very polite and ladylike terms, Insist that the clock lies; that It is at least four hours too fast The clock Is an important factor in true politeness. Only by utterly ignoring it when there is company can a woman become a perfect lady. Atchison Globe. Women's Righto in Brazil.

Ripened charms should be at their meridian. Society, so far from relegating her to the back grouad. ignores the flight of years in n belle of past conquests. In the words of a competent London observer, "there has beea a complete disappear aace of the middle-aged woman. The social world seems aow to be made up of girls, young married woman ami old ladies who are great-grandmothers. Every oae has bright eyes, a flower face and a slender form, aad every one Is dressed to perfection, the same style suiting equally well the girl of 18 and her mother."
