DO WELL WITH LITTLE RAIN Dry-Lfrd Farming of Central Tunia Has Long Been a Matter of Won- | dec to Other Countries. Ono of tho greatest and most triumphant agricultural booms In the world is to be found in Africa —the ' dry land farming of central Tunis, 1 where tho rainfall is less than ten inches This success is astonishing in the face of the uncertainty, dread, and failure that harass our own as yet unadjusted dryland agriculture. As an evidence of local (allure I would cite the observations of an agricul-iR tural scientist on a recent 90-mile journey in the southern part of the Groat Plains, where the rainfall averaged 20 inches. In the 90 miles traversed there was but one surviving pettier and not even a cattle-ranch. The dry land farmers had pushed out the cattlemen, and the recent droughts had pushed cut the dry-land farmers —all but one-win a strip as long as from Now York to Philadelphia. Our uncertainties arise under a rainfall ot 10 to 20 inches. The African's com placcncy is assured by less than ten inches. Subscriptions have recently been taken up here for people living in an average rainfall of 16 to 18 inches. Yet the complacent success of Tunis is in the vicinity of Sfax. where in seven consecutive years the total rainfall amounted to 41 inches — G five and eight-tenths per year,—Prof. I J. Russell Smith, in Harper’s Maga I zine. USE CHAIRS 133 YEARS OLD Oldest Bank in This Country, Located at Philadelphia, Has Historic Furniture. Twelve business men gather at regular intervals about a long table in a room on the second floor of the building at 305 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. The chairs they sit in have been in service 133 years and are as good today as the day they were solo by the maker. Those chairs have sup ported the frames of various men fa mous in American affairs. The 12 men are the directors of the Bank of North America, the old est bank In the western hemisphere and the most remarkable. On the vails cf the directors’ rooms are th< portraits of all the former presidents of the venerable bank and there is a painting of Robert Morris, founde: cf the institution, financier of ths Revolution, a man to whom the Amer lean people owed much and to whom they made a poor return. Off to one side is a table which came from the home of Morris. It ha: been in service perhaps one hun dred and fifty years, but there is no a crack or blemish in its its mahogan; ' body or its marble top.

Let Uncle Try for Another. The little Bratenahl boy visited hi. uncle, who lives away out in the tour 'try. Uncle is a devout man; a pillaof the church and a breeder of fine horses. And upon a certain pretty col> did our little friend cast his eye with admiration and covetousness. "Uncle Samuel," he said, "will yot please give me that colt?” “Why, no, Harold,” answered tlu uncle. ‘“I can't give, you that colt Bo you want a colt very badly?” "I’d rather have a colt than any thing else in the world!” "Well if yon want a colt that much you ought to pray for it. When 1 want a thing very badly, I pray for it and it comes to me.” “Honest, uncle? Well, I’ll tell you —you give me this colt, and' then you pray for another one.” Magician's Aliy Truthful. We have been told the story of a professional magician who had recent ly been making one-night stands in little towns. The other night he was in an Ohio city and he certainly made a great hit there. He had been per forming for more than an hour and his audience was in great humor. The audience, in fact, was for him to a man when he pulled a bad boy of the town to the stage. A big laugh followed. The magician brought the lad to the footlights. “Now, my boy,” he said, "I want you to tell fcltis audience that you are sure your pockets are empty.” “My pockets is empty,” answered the lad, obediently. “De rabbit you told me to put in me coat got away!” Undischarged. The pastor of a certain fashionable church in New York never neglects an opportunity to express disapproval of the extravagant use of cosmetics by the members of his congregation. On one occasion he was present at a social function when some one remarked to him, “there are the three Van Alten girls.” * “Are they unmarried?” asked the divine. “Yes; but it seems odd when one considers that they have good looks, wealth and position. It certainly is strange they don’t go off.” “I quite agree with you,” said the minister. “All three use enough powder.” On Terms of Intimacy. “Aunt Alice must be very intimate with God, mother,” a thoughtful child remarked upon his return from a visit to the relative named. "Why, dear?” “ 'Cause, when she says her prayers she whispers. I s’pose she knows him so well that they have secrets together and he lust leans down his ear.**
