A. Triflo Too Exclusive*.
About a week ago a Detroit real
estate dealer became very tired.
and had tho following sign printed
and posted over his door:
‘•No tramps need apply.
•‘No money to lend. i
“Havent a postage stahip f°

“No matebes supplied.
“We have had the grippe.
“Have seen a dozen such win-*

“We dom want to invest in mines
:
“No corns to be pared off*.
“No stationery wanted.
“We dout sign bonds.
* Dont want any life insurance,
Interviewers will plcaso keep
out.
The sign had been up a day or
tw0 when an old man opened the
door very carefulh', walked in and
after ~ b.’t . oL’Scrved: . .
a
“I have been reading your sign
out there.
“Thcu profit by it, was the short
reply.
He shut the door and went away
and half an hour later that sign'
came down. The old man had
340,000 worth oil pud to sell, and
he called upon another dealer and
left liis memoranda, with the re¬
mark that a man who was so
mighty exclusive as that could
never get near enough tho public
to sell them anything.—Detroit

Phosphate in Georgia.
The discovery of phosphate in
Florida has attracted thousands lo
that state, and has done more to¬
ward bringing capital into it than
all its other interests combined.
Many ot the South Carolina phos¬
phate men here abandoned the
dredging of the of the well work¬
ed river beds there and have in¬
vested their wealth there.
Not to be behindhand in the
phosphate or any other
Georgia has fallen into line, and
will unearth a boom in
hones before many months have
rolled away. Tho editor ol the
ftrnnawiek'Times has alicady in
formed ns of valuable phosphate
deposits in liis cellar, and there arc
other evidences that many of the
animals that were drowned in the
flood lie bunco in the marshes of
Brunswick
And this is not all. The pur
chasers of tho Okcfcnokco swamp
are almost convinced that they will
find valuable phosphate material
in its gloomy fastnesses, and thoy
are going to dig for it in all confi
dcncc. If they arc successful they
wi.I make millions, not or.'y for
themselves, but the whole s<atc

Where Poor Tobacco Go*#.
A repoiter strolled into one of
U 1C hig tobacco warehouses on
Front street yesterday and watched
the employes handle the big hogs-*
heads of tobacco. There were hun
dreds of tlio heavy hogsheads, ea'eh
filled with 1,500 pounds of tobacco.
“How are the sales was asked of*
■one of the salesmen ?”
“Very fair,” said ho, “b*t not so
good as they frepacntly are at this
time of tbc j-car. You see the
workmen rc-hooping Ihe liogs heads
Well, they have to do tlmt with
of them.”
“Why ?” was asked.
‘‘Because,” said he, “when the
«tock comes into the warehouse it
is hooped up so closo that that it
cannot be gotten at by tho buyer,
consequently in order that samples
may be had from tho center of the
contek of tho stock wo have to take
away the hoops and remove the
staves of tho hogsheads. Yes, it
necessitates a good deal of trouble,
but then it must bo done.”
“Where ao the poorer grades ol
stock go ?”
“It is made into smoking lobac*
ca and exf orted. Nearly all of
our inferior grades arc made into
smoking tobacco and sent to the
continent.”
“Don’t home consumers uso infe¬
rior grades ?”
“Oh yes, but not so much so.”

A Valuable Dog.
Patrolmen Lackey and Nowborn
have discovered a valuable dog.
A few nights ago they saw a
bla ’og with yellow logs enter a
coa. .u’d near Philip’s row over on
West Mitchell street.
A few momentes later the dog
came out with a large lamp ol
coal in his mouth anti trotted off
up the street. They followed m
to tho homo of his master where
ihe dog went around* to the back
door and scratched for admittance.
When the door was opened the dog
disappeared inside carrying the
piece of pilfered coal with him.
Down on Wheat street there is
a dog that has been taught to steal
chickens and carry them home,
but the black coal thief or the co^l
black thief, is a bew wrinkle to
the police.—Atlanta Constitution.

‘•His son one day upraided him

him to get an overcoat like his

assured his siro was made to order
for 340. The old man yielded, and
tho sen scut word to the tailor that
if his father camo in to make the
price 340, and he would pay the
