SHE COULD ANSWER FOR HIM — Little Comfort for Candidate in Reason Assigned by Wife for Her 1 Being Confident. Mr. Williams, one of flve candidates for the office of sheriff in one of the northern counties of Wisconsin, was making a house-to-house canvass of rural districts soliciting votes. Coming t othe house of Farmer Thompson, he was met at the door by the good ‘ housewife, and the following dialogue ensued: “Is Mr. Thompson at home?” | “No, he has gone to town.” “I am very sorry, as I would have liked to talk to him.” “Is there anything I can tell him for /on?” \ "My name is Williams, candidate for sheriff, and I wanted to exact a promse from him to vote for me at the Joining election.” “Oh, that will be all right. I know ae will promise, for he has already promised four other candidates the same thing.”—Norman E. Mack’s National Monthly. Protected Both Ways. Two conservative ladies of oldfashioned notions -were traveling in the west and, becoming- interested in a young girl on the train, finally asked why she was making so long a journey alone. They were greatly shocked at her tlithe explanation: "Well, you see, my mother and stepfather live at one end of the journey, and ray father and stepmother live at the other. They send me to each other twice a year, so there isn’t a bit of danger with four parents all on the lookout!” Righteous indignation. Little Ruth was the youngest daughter in a very strict Presbyterian family that especially abhorred profanity. One day little Ruth became exceedingly exasperated with one of her dol lies. In her baby vocabulary she could hud no. words to express adequately het - disapproval of dolly’s conduct.' Finally, throwing the offending dolly across the room, she cried, feelingly: "My gracious! I wish I belonged to a family that sweated!” Takes Ugliness Philosophically.

A housewife was recently surprised when cook served Postum instead of coffee. She says: “For the last five or six years I have been troubled with nervousness, indigestion and heart trouble. I couldn’t get any benefit from the doctor’s medicine so finally he ordered me to stop drinking coffee, which I did. “I drank hot water while taking the doctor’s medicine, with some improvement. then went back to coffee with the same old trouble as before. “A new servant girl told me about Postum —said her folks used it and liked it in place of coffee. We got a package but I told her I did pot believe my husband would like it, as he was a great coffee drinker. “To my surprise he called for a third cup, said it was ‘good stuff’ and wanted to know what it was. We have used Postum ever since and both feel better than we have in years. “My husband used to have bad spells with his stomach and would be sick three or four days, during which time he could not eat or drink anything. But since he gave up coffee and took to Postum, he has had nc more trouble, and we now fully ba lleve it was all caused by coffee. “1 have not had any return of my former troubles since drinking Pos turn, and feel better and can do more work than In the last ten years.

How Scales Are Made to Cheat
AG AZINES' and newspapers have given much space in late years to the question of weights and measures, which has resulted in the passage of legislation in many states putting the' supervision of this particular branch of work under a defined depart-
1 **
ment of state government. There are numerous ways of cheating in the use of scales, regardless of ■the size or make. The art of scale building has advanced rapidly In the last quarter century, but investigation by various departments of weights and measures, both national and state, has disclosed the fact that the inventive minds of those whose unfortunate mental arrangement leads them to defraud their fellow men, has kept pace with this advance. The most astounding fraud ever perpetrated was that of the famous sugar trust fraud, in which the United States government was xobbed of many millions in Import tax duty, by the use of a small piece of umbrella steel to throw the scales out of balance. But with most cases of deception, the perpetrator becomes over confident, and through carelessness leaves a slight clue, which eventually leads to discovery. Rubbei* bands have been employed to throw scales off correct balance, bu t as. these 'are'hard to apply they are not so commonly used. A common method of cheating is to overload the scale countei' weights with lead and'throw the balance to the credit of the scale owner. But the most pernicious and ingenious of these is a device recently discovered by the department of weights and measures which is under the jurisdiction of' the railroad and warehouse commission of Minnesota. This is a small piece of .tempered steel weighing 1-32 of an ounce, and is used in scales for the purpose of adding to or shrinking the weight of an article. It can be carried in the vest pockpt and placed in position on the shale in, a few seconds. It has the advantage to the usei’ of being reversible, that is to say, he can take more in buying or give less in selling, than the just and proper weight. The device is in the nature of a false knife-edge or pivot. It has a small projection on one side, which when applied to a scale • with the projection towards the back end of the scale beam the effect will be to make a load weigh less than correct, and the reverse is true when applied with the projection toward the front end of the scale beam. These devices are made so that the use of them on a scale doo. not affect the beam action whereby an observe!' could tell that the scale was not weighing correctly, as they allow the beam free action. The percentage of error in the use of this device would differ, depending upon the make of scale and the multiplying power of the scale beam. All scale beams have not the same measurements, and on one scale the effect was 2L> per cent either in excess or deficiency, depending upon how the device was placed, and on another scale the effect was 5 per cent either way. dn some of the new type stock scales with full capacity beams, having no counterweights, the effect would easily be 10 per cent of the lead. These figures are based upon the assumption that the scale would be put into perfect balance after the device was inserted, but if by neglect or desire the scale should not be balanced after the device was put under the fulcrum pivot of the beam, the effect would be to give a false weight of about 200 pounds on any size load in addition to the 2%, 5, or 10 per cent as the case might be. If one of these devices were used on a scale beam for fraudulent purposes, it would undoubtedly be inserted in the loop from the rear of the beam, and thus could not be seen from the position iq which one stands to do the weighing, hence the necessity of looking into the beam loops from the rear of the beam to prove that such a device is not being used. At a large stock shipping point in Minnesota many complaints had been received relative to the weights over a certain stock scale. On investigation of the scale it was discovered that one of these “shrinkers” was in use. The commission immediately started its special agent out to trace it up. The remarkable part of the investigation is that in the to find the origin of this device, the trail led through the states of Minnesota, lowa, Illinois, South Dakota and Wisconsin, and going on the old theory, “where there is much smoke there

Plan Statue to Heine
At last Germany is to have a statue to the memory of Heine. The agitation for the requisite permission has continued for a long time, and now the Prussian government has capitulated, but with stipulations and restrictions. The statue must not be exposed to full public view and the ceremonies of its unveiling must be inconspicuous. So it has been decided to place the memorial in a restaurant

must be some fire,” it is safe to assume that when continual rumors of “shrinkers” were prevalent, the shrinker device must have been doing some shrinking, and in the case of this particular form of shrinker, which could be used on heavy scales, such as stock scales and grain scales, it has been the fanner and producer who were the victims. The evidence obtained by the agent of the Minnesota commission disclosed the fact that the man who had made these devices had procured from $8 to $75 each for them.
At Booth’s First Meeting
Old Londoner Tells of the Beginning of Real Work of the Salvation Army. Standing at the salute by a big tombstone in Abney Park cemetery was an old soldier of the Salvation Army. As the procession filed- past him General and Mrs. Bramwell Booth gave him a glance of kindly recognition. The old man, who is seventy-five years of age, and named Peter Monks, was the late general’s first convert in London. .One day nearly fifty years ago, before William Booth had started any mission work, he was walking down a squalid little back street near the London docks when he met Peter plonks outside a notorious drinking house. “The general came up and spoke to me,” said Monks to the Daily Mirror, “no doubt because I looked the bad character that I was then. “ ‘I am looking for work,' he said to me. He went on to say that he had left a congregation just before -‘because,’ he said, ‘they thought more about me than him.’ “Presently Booth told me he was going to try to hold a meeting on the Mile End Waste—a most daring thing to do in those times —and he asked me to ccme to it. “I said I would, wondering what had come over me. “I went down to the meeting at tire Mile End Waste, and found that some of the .worst characters from Spitalfields and Whitechapel had gathered round Booth’s ro.’gh platform and were giving him a very bad time, throwing cabbage stumps and dirt at him. “Something seemed, to ‘rise up’ in me, and instead of joining in the horseplay, as I usually did, I clenched my fists and simply ‘walked round’ the crowd. “The lads knew who I was—l had a bit of reputation as a boxer in those days—and surprised by my taking up the preacher’s side and from fear of my fists, they became quiet, and Booth got a hearing, for which he thanked me many times. “I did not become actually converted for some time, but I went to all the meetings and helped to keep order. When the Salvation Army was finally formed I joined.”—London Daily Mirror. New Acquisition. “Pop. get me a little wagon to hitch your goat to.” “I’ve got no goat, child.” “Yes you have, pop.

COMBINATION NEW TO HIM “Lpmonade and Ladies” Was Something the Veteran Politician Never Had Heard of. “Lemonade and ladies!” A certain veteran politician laughed derisively as he read those words on a card this morning. • “Say. Bob,” he said, “what kind of away is this to run a campaign ? Seen this card? It’s a notice of the Tenth ward Progressive club’s meeting tonight at Posey’s hall, and it gives a special invitation to the ladies to attend and says ice cold lemonade will be served free. Did you ever hear anything like that. Bob? “Lemonade and ladies! That ain’t no way to run a campaign. Say, how many votes can these ladies cast? I guess I’ve had as much practical experience in politics as any man and I’ll tell you these Progressive guys ain’t going to get very far with their lemonade and ladies. It won’t go.” However, despite the warnings of the professional politicians, the Tenth ward Progressive elib will serve lemonade at the mass meeting tonight. It is accoi’diug to the new order of things. If any of the “boys” attend they will be welcome. —Kansas City Star. s / Gloves and Thimbles. “One of the hardes . things for shoppers to learn is that the size of gloves and thimbles do not coincide.” said a salesman. “If the woman who wears a No. 6 glove asks her husband to buy a thimble for her she tells him to get a No. 6 thimble. If he takes that size the chances are it will only stick on the tip of her little finger. She needs a No. 8. Os course, there are exceptions to the rule, for in thimbles, as in gloves, there are great differences in the make, and a great deal depends too, upon the peculiarities of the hand. But, as a rule, thimbles run about two sizes larger than gloves.” - C No Room for Doubt. Railroad Attorney—You are sure it was our Flyer that killed your mule?

RELATION ©F THE DAIRY FARM TO PERMANENT AGRICULTURE. When a man of practical knowledge joupled with the trained mind of an Instructor says “that the educational ralue of a large dairy show cannot be estimated to men who are endeavoring to evolve the highest standards of efficiency upon their farms and in their dairy at the lowest cost of operation” there must indeed be great value to be had from an attendance at the National Dairy Show in Chicago this /ear. Professor Kildee of lowa Agricultural College is the author of the above statement and believes that lessons to be learned by looking over a thousand of the best representatives of the leading dairy breeds and the information and inspiration gained from coming in contact with men who are foremost In the Dairy world, with the chance to inspect ttje most modern In dairy machinery, all leads to success men who might otherwise blunder along without getting anywhere. He says that the profits derived from dairy farming are determined by the lollowing factors: Quantity of milk, quality of milk, cost of production, and the price obtained for your dairy products. Thus, it must behoove any man who is striving for success to attend this great educational exhibit, as by comparison alone can we measure our knowledge, and the man who stays home and plugs along will not get from his efforts what his neighbor will extract from his, with more ease. The mere pleasure of sitting on a milk stool and getting just what milk you can, won’t get you anywhere. You must have profitable cows and know what you are doing all the time. Every hour spent at the National Dairy Show at Chicago, during the ten days of October 24th to November 2nd next, is adding to your ability to succeed. Adv. CERTAINLY ANIMALS THINK.
