THE number of men and boys who heedlessly and foolishly waste time standing around watching others work is entirely too large here in Greenfield. A count one day when there was no unusual excitement showed exactly one hundred sand fifty watchers, or about fifteen watchers to one worker at the excavation if or the Masonic Temple. When a little excitement was raised by the foreman, -Myrtie O, Dohohue giving an exhibition, -'the number of watchers immediately increased to two hundred and fifty. If one iwould only stop to think there were ^enough men standing around accomplishing nothing to do ten times the work of the men they were watching, and those men were making from $15.00 to $20.00 per day. Ti ue once wasted can never be regained, therefore, use it judiciously as it passes.

WHEELS OF RESTAURANT REFORM.
Made to Spin by a Zealous Lover of Truth In Tempting Signs.
A reformer, with cast iron principles of justice, can find plenty of odd jobs to fill in his spare moments. Firmness, together with a judicious display of consequential importance, will often make the laws of corporations totter, and a pat argument bring them to the ground.
There was a sign in the window of a New York ice cream "parlor" reading, "Try our strawberry ice cream with the strawberries frozen in." When those cooling words caught the eye of the reformer on a recent hot day, his wilted spirits revived and he entered the place radiating peace and good will. "Strawberry," he said confidently, beaming upon the presiding Hebe. Then he sat back and thought how good the frozen strawberries were going to taste. When the dish was brought, he scanned it closely, but failed to see any material signs of the berries. "Where are the strawberries?" he asked, the genial expression giving way to one of stern inquiry. "There ain't none in dish cream," said Hebe. "Only our quart bricks has the strawberries frozen in. "What do you mean, then," said the customer, thumping the floor with his stick, "by putting such a sign in the window? That is a promise fliat this firm is bound to fulfill. I want some cream with strawberries frozen in. I insist upon having it. If the public in general consents to be bamboozled by that'fake'sign, I don't so run right along and get me some frozen strawberries." "I tell you we don't sell it by the plate," said Hebe, who-was beginning to show symptoms of hysteria. "I'll have a plate of it," said the man, "or the firm must take in that sign and make me an apology.
The girl then left the field to the proprietor, who approached the customer with a conciliatory smile. "Very sorry, sir," said he, "but we are just out of strawberry ice cream.'' "Does the sign come down?" "It does."
And now the reformer goes three blocks out of his way to pass that store for the sake of experiencing again the satisfaction of an accomplished purpose. —New York Herald.
Actually Stealing Wind.
"Say, officer, I wish you'd drive those hoboes away or run them in,•requested the manager of a Market street cyclery. "They're hanging around the door trying to steal our air all day long.'' "Trying to steal what?" "Our air—what we use to blow up pneumatic tires with." "Do you fellows own the air here? Did you rent it with the premises? You'll be accusing somebody of running off with your sunbeams next. I suppose those hoboes grab a handful of air when you ain't looking, jam it in their pockets and run, eh?" "Well, if you don't believe it, just come back here and watch."
The clerk led the way to the back part of the establishment, where he and the officer concealed themselves behind a curtain. In a moment a big tramp peered in at the door, mopped the perspiration from his face, slipped up to the little rubber hose attached to the air compressor in the basement, thrust the nozzle into his steaming collar and turned the stop cock. The wind whistled through his clothes, and for a moment he was the picture of contentment. Before he could get cooled off two more were anxiously waiting their turn at the nozzle.
The officer took him to the city prison and wanted to charge him with petty larceny for stealing air, but had to make it disturbing the peace.—San Francisco Post
Hoops Have Arrived.
Two young ladies attracted attention at the Waldorf today, not because they were over pretty or chic, but merely on account of their walk. They strutted about with an ungraceful movement of their flaring skirts suggestive of a lameness which was alike in both. As this could hardly be possible the inquisitive ones who uotiod them sought an explanation from a friendly feminine. And what do you think was the matter? Why, hoopskirts! "That walk is caused by the wearing of hoops," smilingly explained the lady "and hoops will soon be proper form too. When the modistes tried to force hoops on us a few years ago, we were not quite prepared for them. Now, with the flaring skirts, sloping, shoulders and big sleeves, the old fashioned hoops complete the picture, and we will take kindly to them." The steel trade will like this announcement better than that portion of humanity which .hates to see fashion disfigure the fair ones of this or any other land.—New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
Bit Presence Accounted For.
"I've caught you at last!" cried the enraged farmer as he stumbled over the old darky who was enjoying himself in the green middle of the watermelon patch. "I've caught you at last, you old thief, you!" "Boss/' said the oulprit as he gulped down the red heart of a fat Kolb Gem, boss, 'fft'de Lawd hit wnz all a axerdent how I come heah. I wuz walkin 'long de railroad des ez hones' ez coud be, when 'long oome a freight train, en fo' I could cl'ar de track de engine hit me en th'owed me clean over defence whar I is now, en when I fell I landed kerblamm I on dese heah melons, en busted 'em all ter pieces, en when I come to I wuz so hongry dat I des pitch in en eat op what I done busted!"—Atlanta Constitution. a A'5*"

Well.
"For four years I was a sufferer from nervous debility. During that time I took a great many remedies without getting any help until I tried Paine's celery compound. I took six bottles of that remedy and was cured. I cheerfully recommend Paine's celery compound."
So writes Mrs. M. S. Schoonmaker of 8034 Jane street, New York City. Too many women needlessly suffer from nervous troubles, not only in the cities, but everywhere.
Their whole world too frequently lies inside the four walls of their homes. Think of the many persons, men as well as women, who spend most of their lives barricaded within the narrow confines of their dwellings. Summer finds them pale and tired out. Their store of nervous vitality has been slowly brought down by vitiated air and sedentary life. Their whole system needs a thorough replenishing. The nerves want nourishment, the tissues are not half supplied with material for the repair of their parts, and the great vital organs must have
THAT TRIP TO BOSTON.

TGKKE HAUTK FAIR HACKS
A Great Meeting on the Greatest Track ID the World—More than 300 Entries.
All lovers ef real sport will be interested in the great meeting of the Terre Haute Fair Races, at the world-famous Terre Haute track' August 5th. 6th, 7th8th4feid 9th' at which purses aggregating $30,000 are offered. The programe com* prise 21 rases, in 14 of which there are nearly 300 entries, and there are seven others to close in a few days, which will swell the grand total to about 400 entries. These races embrace all the classes of trotting and pacing, and the best horses of the entire country are entered in them. Alive to the conditions that are prevailing at present the directors have decided upon a step that should go a great way toward making these races the most successful yet given. It is no less a thing than reducing the price of admission to 50 cents, placing it within the' reach of all. This is the only really big meeting at which these popular prices will prevail, and when it is considered that the races here will equal in sport and interest those of the biggest high priced meetings of the year, it is seemed that the attendance should be something phenomenal.
All the railroads entering Terre Haute have made half fare rates for this meeting, which will make it possible for all lovers of racing to attend. If you want a prrcgamme and list of entries drop a postal card to W. H. DUNCAX, Secretary.
