“I heard you made $5,000 in two
days' time in a little land deal How
was it?” “It’s true. I bought a few
lots that faced on a new boulevard. I
put up a sign, ’A First Class N irsery
Will Be Established Here Next Fpring
Save Your Orders for Choice Sb e
aad Fruit Trees.* Well. sir. a lot of
men that were putting up some fine
apartment houses In the neighborhood
clubbed together and bought me out.
They said the mere name ‘nursery,’
aaywhere in sight, would kill their

Lead Pencil Writing.
Upoa the subject of signing a docu-
ment a standard law book say?,:
•'When a statute or usage requires ‘a
writing’ it must be on paper or parch-
ment, but it is not essential that It be
in ink. ft may be in pencil. This rule
applies to promissory notes, l>ook ac-
oounts, a will or a signature thereto.”
There Is a decision in Colorado up-
holding the Idea that a pencil signa-
ture Is valid.
Lives a Primitive Life.
Paterson N. J., has brought to v‘?w
at various times no small number of
eccentric persons. The latest freak
la that community makes his break-
fast of a cucumber, his lunch- -n of a
carrot, a turnip or a raw potato, and
eats a few nuts for supper. He never
touches flesh or fish, wears very little
clothing, and sleeps out of do >rs. ex-
cept when rain is falling He looks
strong and well, and asserts that he
never feels an ache or :< pain The
possibilities of human perversity are
unaccountable.
Revolt of the Young Person.
There Is at least one rase on rec-
ord of the revolt of the young person
against too many old masters on t e
walls of the school room and her
sleeping room at home. It was just
after the holidays, and the remai is
of the feast had reach'd th- tar ■ y
roup stage. The small girl rushed
tack h*r plate with the : marl;-
“There are two things I hat', and
one’s turkey soup and the other’s Ma-

Laugh and Grow Pat.
Dyspepsia Is claimed to be sys-
tematically cured by laughter It Is'
stated that a Paris doctor, in return
for a large fee. admits patients Into
Ms private Institution, where the
mlnb treatment Is administered. A
few dyspeptics sit around a room and
begin to smiie at each other This
smile, once begun, must never be al-
lowed to fade away. On the contrary,
it must be developed by will power
Into a grin, and the grin must become
a guffaw. Then the patients must go
on laughing until their sides ache. A
course of a week or two of th•$ treat-
ment at the rate of a couple of hours*
giggling a day is said to be sufficient
to turn the worst cases of dyspepsia.

Greenleaf Davis, the hermit ot
Mount Katahdin. tells of a bluejay's
nest that contained the shells of more
than 2a<) eggs, which the jays had
stolen from the nests of song birds
and taken home for their young to
feed on. Hidden in one side of the
nest waa a gold watch which a hunter
from Worcester had lost the previous
autumn and had accused his guide of
stealing. The watch had been hung
on the limb of a lean-to-camp at night,
and when the hunter awoke In the

tion for ball playing when they hit
the town. Tne Saturday game re-
sulted in a victory for the Alvin boys

Booker Washington Big Beggar.
A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala.
says:
In an address before the literary
societies of the Alabama Polytech-
nic Institute at Auburn, eno of the
leading State colleges. Dr. J. W.
Stagg, past >r of the first Presbyte-
rian Church of Birmingham, In dis-
cussing the negro question, last night,
said:
"Tho conception of Boeker Wash-
ington is the greatest piece of hum-
buggery that was ever presented to
the minds of tho American people.
Booker Washington is the greatest
exaggeration that speaks from the
platform and the greatest beggar
that ever held out his hat to tho
American public.’’
Dr. Stagg said that the nogro was
so inferior that no education would
help him, ard he advocated the de-
portation of tho race back to Africa,
asserting that there was no future
for them in this country. He asserts
that in time disease will completely
stop the growth of tho negro race.

with a few passes of the hands he
could easily hypnotize the little crea
