“I was much amused the other
day,” said an uprtown hard
ware dealer, according to the
New York Press, “at a small boy
who came aro.uud looking for a
job. One of the clerks had dropp
ed a lot of sharp-pointed tacks
iiito a drawer of brass screws and
had given up the idea of taking
them out.
“When the youngster turned
up looking for a. job we thought
we would try him out by letting
him sort the two articles. He
went at it the same way we had
begun, picking out the taoks
with his fingers and getting the
point of every third „taok in the
ball of hisbhumb. \
“He had euough in about a
minute and he straightened up.
We all began to smile, expectiug
him to give up the job. Instead
of that ha went over to the show
case and picked out a horse-shoe
maguet. Then he came back to
uhe box. In thirty seconds he
had the taoks out and the screws
were still in the compartment
He know that the magnet would
attract iron and not brass, and
iu a jiffy he had accomplished
what we had been trying to do
all the morning.
“We didn’t really ueed a boy,
but this chap’s smartness appeal
ed to us, and we find him so ban
dy to have around that next Sat
urday he gets a raise.”

Back From Liberia.
SuTMinak New*,
Very few of the negroes that, mi
grate to Liberia from this oountry
appear to be able to. make a living
there. Although efforts are being
made all the time to induce negroes
to go there to settle, report# from
there "are frequently received and
published in the newspapers of the
destitution and sufferings of those
who do, go.
In our dispatches a few d ays ago
it was stated that on the steamer
Majestic, which had just arrived in
New , York from Liverpool, there
were twelve negroes from the south
ern states who went to Liberia,
West Africa, to make an experiment
in cotton culture, with the view of
colonizing negroes there from this
country. They were in a penniless
condition and say that the experi
ment was a failure.
There are two things in the fore
going that are worthy of careful
consideration. One is that negroes
from this country who seek homes
in Africa do not seem to sucoeed,
and the other is that experiments in
cotton culture in Africa do hot yield
satisfactory results.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT PEARSON'S MAGAZINE FOR 1904

many places, and, as is well known,
none of them waB successful, and it
is doubtful if the experiments which
the English, Germans and French
are making in Africa now will be
any more successful than those
which have been made heretofore.
Of course the soil contains every
thing that is necessary for the oulti
vation of cotton, but there is some
thing lacking in the climato.
It looks therefore as if it could be
safely said that neither the rnigra
tion of American negroes to Africa
nor the growing of cotton there is
likely to be successful.

He Just Explained to the Jury.
One of the most common defects
of a reoently admitted lawyer is a
striving for oratorical display, sftys
Success. A successful older practi
tioner endeavors, on the other hand,
to give the jury a heart-,to-heart
talk. The ways of an eagle in the

a man with a maid, are as A B. 0.
compared with the methods usually
pursued by the twelve good men
and true. It, seems, a trifle odd, at
first, that a dozen individuals who
separately are shrewd,, sharp busir
ness men should collectively be
guilty of the most absurd perform
anoes, but the fact must be reckon
ed, on, nevertheless.
A story is told of two farmers who
were returning home, onb of them
from jury duty in a neighboring
town. “Lawyer Smith is a great
orato^” said One; “a perfect Daniel
Webster. My, how I hated to de
cide against him in the three oases
he tried!”
“How about Lawyer Jones, whp
was on the other side?”
“Ob, shocks!' why, of course he
wins all his cases. I heard every
one of ’em, and they were the sim
plest things. He just explained
things to the jury. He didn’t have
to do any hard talking at all. You
couldn’t help but agree with him.”

The capitol at Washington is
“dry” these days, and so are soine
of the congressmen. Already the
solons are beginning to growl about
the inconvenience of having to send
or go several blocks to the nearest
saloon for a stimulant. The witty
owner of the saloon nearest thG cap
itol on Pennsylvania avenue has put
a sign reading, on the capitol side,
“First Chance,” and on the side one
bs when .approaching the big
