Larado Times: In olden timeswe wa'ked sometimes over a

niilo to the postofiToe and askedj the stage on time? and after

receiving the answer that, itwas only t wo days 'late on account of heavy ruins, we left,

with the remark that, 'that wasnot so had''. Well, today we

pick up a. receiver ami ask cen-

tral how late is i he train a d a e

au'3vered. 'Two hours''. Then

there is a deal of cursing hea.id

abut the train's being laW.

Utterly unreasonable and illog-

ical and narrow are we all. Our

forefathers were much more pa-

tient and philosophical; theycontent to wait, for things

to happen in an orderly manner,whereas we, their posterity,spend half our time trying to

harvest resides before they areripe. If our sapient shesof a

hundred year? ago could sto u?

now it would almost ceitainlysurprise us how prom.', they

wouldn't hoof us.

WHY HE LEFT THE DANCE.

One of happiest homes this

side of Jordan was r cently pic-

tured by a strenuous Ainciieancitizen in a happy ai d peacfulrural county in the land of sun-

shine and moonshine. Ho wason the witness stand in behalfof the Statu in a nr.nder trial."Goon and tell the jury alxmt

the lawyer. "All I know is this,'drawlet the depon u!..

A R;PE0LD AGE.

In the days of Barnuni on old

"aunty" lived in East Tennesseewho was reputed to l.) of greatage. Like all of her kind,was extremely proud of her dis-

tinction, and never undei estima-

ted her age in t he least.Barnum heard of her and con-

cluded that if she was as old asrumor made her, she would bo a

valuable ecquisition to his show.He sent an agent down to malaan investigation. She caughtthe direction of the wind verypromptly, and was prepared forany test question that might be

asked. Gradually the agent l"dup to the crucial interrogatory,and at last said: "Aunty, do

you remember George Washing-ton?"

"Does I 'membah GeorgeWashington? Why, laws a mus-s- a'

Mistah, 1 recon I does. 1

ought to oughn'tl? For I donenussud him. We played togo'hah

thing about the revolutionarywar?"

"G'wy, ohi'e? Yes indeed, 1

does. I s'ood dar lois ob lini"s,an seen the bullets fly in' 'roun,,thickor'n raindrops".

"Yes well, how about the fallof the Unman Empire? Do youremember any tiling about that";'

The old woman took j goodlong breath In fact it amou ted

to a sigh. She reflected for a

few moments, then faid: "De

CONCRETE FOR FINCE POST.

Concrete fence ost havo mvtested by ilie Government andby several state agric lltural col-

leges, and have been found to be

more economical and more sub-

stantial than wooden posts. A

bulletin has just been issued bythe Department of Agricultureshowing Hie different ways c

may be usod on the farmailj pi'clMCHlill'ly USCllOing Hie

method of making fence posts.In the first cost, tho bulletin

says, concrete po?!s may be

more oi' less expensive than thel.?st wooden posts, according to

locality. But after three years of

service wooJo-- , posts poses i on-l- v

from one third to one ha'f ( f

mended by the department is, in

case of unscreened bank-in-

gravel, ono part of cement to

four parts of gravel. For crush-ed rock or ecreoned gravel the

of an inch in diameter should be

med as a center for the postThe best method for attaching

the fence wire to the pests is toT encircle the post with a wire one

size less than the correspondingwire in the fence proper, and totwist this wire around tl.e ft netwire.

was converted at a revival held in thelitrio building which served a doublepurpose as sehoolhouse and churchHo had been a wild lad, but his con;,. . . i i . l. .. f A .

Ills father had never been to church, I

and said, further, that he never In--

tended to go. Ilia son, however, foi- -

lowing his change of front, greatlydesired that his sire should Join himIn that stand. He got the preacher,who was conducting the services, tofio and wrestle with the old fellow.The two adjured him to attend church.

He was finally persuaded to do so,and once there the son and the evan-gelist directed their efforts to gettinghim on the mourners' bepch. The oldman wavered, but linally stood lirm.He reckoned it was powerful good, buthe kinder believed he'd let things beas they were.

"Look, here, paw," said the recentproselyte, "you come on In. I'm In,and I can tell you It's so d good youought to take a little of it just forluck!"

SHOWING VALUE OF THE HEN

If It Could Be Capitalized Ita ProductWould Pay Bigger Dividends

Than Railroads.

It Is claimed that the average production of s hen Is 200 eggs per an-num, but It Is safe to assume that theactual Is much below this figure, theWall Street Journal says. Adoptingthe very conservative figure of 120eggs per hen per annum, we find onthe above basis of production thereare l.,0,000,000 laying hens lh theUnited Slates responsible for the production Of 18,000,000,000 eggs.

At the farm price of 20 cents perdozen the total Income derived fromeach hen annually would amount totwo dollars. Allowing 40 cents formaintenance and ten cents for depreciation, which latter would wipeout the market value of the ben Infour years, Irrespective of salvagewhen the period of production Is over,the net profit per hen per annumamounts to $1.50.

This profit, according to Wall streetstandards, capitalized on a f.ve percent. Income basis, would place anominal value of $30 on each hen. Forthe 150,000,000 hens this would amountto the enormous total of $4,500,000,000

That the American ' hen can returna yield of five per cent, per annum ona capitalization of $4,500,000,000 appears nothing short of remarkable.but such is the case. The entire outstanding capital obligations of the railroads of the United States In 1907were less than four times this amountor $16,082,146.6S3, while the total paidout In interest and dividends repre-sented but 4.05 per cent, of thisamount.

PRESENT OF SACK OF COFFEE

In Brazil This Is Set Aside for Childat Its Birth Opened on Wed-

ding Day.

"We have a custom In the coffeert'slng countries,", said Rlcardo Q. Mul- -

ler of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who Is

Interested in coffee plantations In thatcountry, "Which Is unknown In otherparts of the world. When a child Isbora in the coffee country a sack ofthe best gtaln Is set aside as part ofthe Inheritance to be received on at-taining its major! '.

"Usually the sack is the gift fromsome close friend or relative, and It Isguarded as sacredly as if it were agift of gold or bonds. No stress wouldInduce a Brazilian parent to use coffee which was made the birth gift ofa'cbild

"As a rule, It Is sealed with the private teal of the owner and bears acard giving all particulars about thevariety of grain, Its age on beingsacked, and the birth of the child towhom It Is given, and other details,which are very Interesting when thegift Is due.

"Generally, the coffee Is opened forthe first time when the child marries.The coffee for the reception or mar-riage feast Is made from the legacy,and according to precedent, this mustbe the first time the sack Is opened.After the coffee Is ruade for the wedding feast the sack Is carefully closedand sent to the new home of thoyoung couple, and should keep themIn the staple for a year at least."

''eople Who Argue.There are some people who are

never convinced. They will argue asubject out for hours at a stretch,and be no nearer a solution than theyWere at the start.

It is hopeless lb try to convincesuch a person Oh any subject. Thetruth Is, It gives them pleasure 10

argue, and the more you disagree v:r.h

them the better they are pleased, ifyou find yourself dropping into thehabit, try to drop out again as soon aspossible.

Sweet Influence.Is It not entertaining how to mtko

the best of one's powers, bow to ar-range one's stores, how to exert asweet, quiet and fragrant influencethroughout life, over all whom onemeets? If an advanced education doesthis for one, then It Is the educationone should reek. Our difficulty Is thatwe cannot allow time enough for seedtime and harvest. Mothers are in de-spair if daughters occasionally dropout of school for six months or a year.We are much too apt to insl" :

ting all our children, lnesi,er,' '

their natural bent, "through Ujc t,a.iieeducational factory. We do not makesufficient allowance for temperamentand tendency, and thus it comes topass that some of us carry burdens,beneath the weight of which we arecrushed.

Thirst for Novelties.The curse of modern, life the thirst
