A butcher whose business had been steadily declining, owing chiefly to a rival having set up on the opposite side of the street, confided to his min ister that he saw nothing for it but to close his shop and leave the town. The clergyman suggested that per haps he had not made serious efforts to retain the trade; but the butcher re plied that he bad done all he knew, without success. “But,” said the minister, have you tried the effect of prayer?” No, he had not thought of trying prayer, but he would do so before put ting up the shutters. . A week elapsed, when the minister, chancing to p>ass the butcher s shop, found him radiant with delight. “Well,” the cleric asked, “did you trv the power of prayer?” * '-oh, yes,” was the reply, “and I wish 1 had tried it before. I prayed the very night you left me, and on the fol lowing morning the fellow across the street broke his neck.” "Why is it,” queried the fair widow, “that they always say a man ‘pines' for a woman?” "I suppose,” growled the fussy bachelor, “it’s because pine is about the softest wood there is.” He was one of those fresh young fellows, given to the use of stale slang. At the breakfast table, desir ing the milk, he exclaimed: “Chase the cow' down this way, please." “Here, Jane," said the landlady, "take the cow down to where the calf i* bawling." ln=Shoots 1 If the majority would only < • ^ sent to be ruled by the minority, there would be but little trouble in the world of inditics. * *■ + Political ambition that will not loosen the purse strings is not skin deep. * * * .Take things as they come, un less they are coming too swiftly.

The Tiniest Picture. M R. SAMUEL SCHULTZ, who has a scenic and mural paint ing studio at Wilmington, in Delaware, has won, despite a lifetime spent in painting subjects in heroic sizes, the unique distinction of hav ing made the smallest landscape painting in the world. This picture was executed on a grain of corn, and the painter has, only now recovered it after having lost possession of it for more than forty years. Having lost track of the picture, which he made in 1869, when he was only 19 years old, Schultz de cided recently to try to recover it. He advertised in several foreign newspapers, with the result that the tiny landscape came to him in its original frame a few days ago, the painting, in color and line, being as sharp and clear as on the day of its execution. The particular grain of corn used came fiom an ear that Mr. Schultz as a lad picked on the estate of James Buchanan, fifteenth President of the United States, at Wheatland, Pa. He had gone there to attend the ex-President’s funeral, and plucked the ear of corn as a souvenir. As for the picture itself, a well known artist, who saw it many years ago, declared it was a masterpiece of miniature painting. Where No Money Is Used, The Island of Ascension, in the At lantic Ocean, is of volcanic forma tion, and has a population of only 450. It was uninhabited until the confinement of Napoleon at St. Hel ena, when it was occupied by a small British force. Ascension is governed by a captain appointed by the British Admiralty. There is no private property in land, no rents, no taxes and no use for money. The flocks and herds are public property and the meat is is sued as rations. So are the vegeta bles grown on the farms. When an island fisherman makes a catch he brings it to the guardroom, where it is issued by the sergeant major. Practically the entire population are sailors, and they work at most of the common trades. The muleteer is a Jack Tar; so is the gardener; so are the shepherds, the stockmen, the grooms, carpenters and plumbers. The climate is almost perfect anything can be grown. and Want Ads HELP WANTED—MALE LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE WANTED. No can vassing or soliciting required. Good income as sured.
