The birds chirped merrily, the bees droned, and the boat floated smoothly along with the tide. Jack with his pipe, the scenery, and the prettiest picture of nil to watch at the other end of the loat, was peacefully content, especially with the pleasant reflection of being Idle while other men were busy. Iiut Molly pouted. "To think," she said, "that I have Klven up a tennis tournament with Mr. Staines for this." "Perhaps the day was rather too warm for tennis," drawled Jack. "Or no doubt you preferred the calm peace fulness of the liver and my society even to a tete-a-tete with the tennis champion, lie Is something of a bore." "lie's nothing of the sort," retorted Molly, warmly. "He's nice and kind, anil " "And wealthy," put In Jack. "Don't forget that, MIks Molly Merton. "Well, that's something," said Molly, thoughtfully, dipping her hand in the water and letting the drops run through her lingers. "And he certainly Is at tentive. Fancy being Mrs. Staines. No worry about money all the dresse nnd Jewels, and pretty things you want, plenty of servants to wait upon you, carriages to ride In, and every liody crushing and crowding to know you." "It certainly does Round Inviting," said Jack, nonchalantly. "Why don't yon manage It, Molly? You might sue 'eed." "Might," said Molly, contemptuously. "Ills Intentions are only too apparent." "Then I may shortly have the pleas ure of congratulating you," said Jack whilst he consoled himself with another girl. O, It was like a horrible dream. It couldn't be true. She was convinced of the painful reality of things by Jack pleading for her congratulations. I want you to be such friends, Mol ly," he said. "That Is, If Mrs. Staines" will condescend to be acquainted with Mrs. Marriott" 'Don't.'" said Molly, hurriedly. Then she recovered herself with a forced laugh. "What Is this wonderful divin ity like. Jack? " "Like?" said Jack. "O, you've no Idea. It isn't that she's beautiful, al though she Is very, but she's such a dear, and so good. O, Molly, you've no Idea how I love her." You have an accommodating heart," said Molly, bitterly. "You said the same to me six months ago."

Long, then Secretary of thp Navy, Mr. Osgood was secured, and so pleased has been the King with his work that his curiosity was stirred to see a country that can produce such bright young men. Mr. Osgood has been In Bangkok about a year, and during that time he and his wife have been the recipient of numerous courtesies at the hands of the royal family. As a matter of fact, Mr. Osgood Is bis own boss, for he practically decides on the work to be done. His sugges tions In all matters are Invariably adopted. Bangkok Is a city of a mil lion Inhabitants, and the work which the American engineer had before him can be imagined. Mr. Osgood is but twenty-six years of age, quite young to be the sanitary head of a nation of 10,000,000 people, and with a territory as big as Texas. He Is a member of the famous Osgood family. His father, Colonel H. B. Os good, Is a civil war veteran and was chief of commissary at Santiago. One of his brothers, W. D. Osgood, was killed In Cuba, and another brother, Henry, Is connected with the health department of Manila.

"O, Jack, how can you? How that requires little affection. The ndora lion of one would not sulllce you. You want admirers by the score." Molly's surprised eyes fell, and there was a little reproach in her voice when she next spoke. "How long have you been of this opinion?" she said, thinking of that wouiieriui evening six inontiis ago, when the stolid young man In front of lier was transfigured with love and desperate In his attempts to win her.

Encouraged by tho downcast eyes, Jack burst desperately Into his confession. "I expect you enn guess what I want to say, Molly, he began. "A fellow lsu't worth his salt If ho spoils his life because one woman won't have him, Molly, I'm going to be married."

Frederick Wright, who re cently made a trip ncross Asia for scl eutlflc study, says one of the surprises of Siberia is its abundance of public museums In which special attention Is devoted to aiithronology.

ANCIENT MONOPOLIES. . Trusts, Combine and niersere Are Certainly Not iNew 'minus. in UiIh ilnv of trusts and mergers, it is Interesting, perhaps a little comfort ing, to find that, like every other good and evil under the sun, trusts are no new thing. They nre at least as ancient as the pyramids. The earliest form of trust was tho cornering of foodstuffs by mouarchs and their agents. Assyrian records seven or eight thousand years old giv accounts of these monopolistic transac tions. In the days of the ltomnns monopoly was a recognized Institution, lhe H man government farmed out taxe The tax farmer placed embargoes on the food supplies of the provinces to make up arrears in taxes. In the Middle Ages the trade guilds controlled the output of certain arts and Industries, and also the means of distribution. This form of monopoly like the famous league of the Huuso free towns, was for protection again comnetitlon from towns not in the league. It was In the hands of man merelinnts. and so had not the worst element of such trusts as are controlled bv a few. But it was a common prac tice of English monarchs to grant monopolies to court favorites. The most complete monopoly in ine Middle Ages was the Venetian control of shipping In the Adriatic, which was powerful enough to turn nu entire cru sade from Its holy purpose to the cap ture of a Christian town which Venice wanted. It was the price the crusad ers had to pay for ships to transport them to Palestine. As the doge was absolute In authority, he was the head of a perfect maritime trust. When the Council of Ten were in control Its mem bers grew enormously rich. ft Bo v m HI Advertising Is a trade tonic that can be depended upon to remove sluggish stocks if given in doses of the proper size at the right Intervals through the proper 'mediums. Printers' luk. When a man Invests his money In 3 per cent bonds, he does not hesitate to put up the cqln nnd leave It up other wise he would get no bonds but when It comes to advertising he wants to get his dividends without putting up the1 money. It cannot often be done. Advertising requires that a reasonable amount be Invested before dividends can be declared. Advisor. In advertising suppression Is suspi cion. There is scarcely a man or wo- mnn but that has been deceived at some time by the speclousness of some advertisement, which fact naturally places them upn their guard. The ad vertiser need not be afraid to take the public into his confidence. He may speak out with confidence in the as surance that this is the best way to sell. Printers' Ink. An advertisement Is something like a mechanic's tool. You would not ex pect a dull saw to do good work, nor to bore a clean hole with a broken auger. A dull pick makes slow work, a plow thnt does not scour turns up little soli; so a meaningless, unattrac tive advertisement does Injustice to your store, to your ability ns a busi ness man, narrows your sphere of business, and Is unprofitable. D. T. Mallet. No merchant would think of doing business without some kind of a sign ou his front window or over his door, That is a good Idea, but the enter prising merchant should not omit to keep a standing "ad" in his home pa per. That Is, a continual reminder to tho public that he is in business and seeks trade. Every, man or firm who docs business with the people should not fall to patronize the print er's naees. It always pays. It not only brings good results to the adver tiser, but speaks well for the enter prise of the town.
