that the excellence of vision shown by
savages has a psychological origin;
that Is to say, it arises from knowing
what to look for. When the European
acquires familiarity with the environ

Successful April Fool Joke Worked by
Ner Orleans Paper,
"Did you ever hear about the time
the Liberty Bell was stolen ?" asked;
a Ne.w. Orleans man at the Capitol the.
other day. "It was early in the spring
of 1885. The exposition was being held
at New Orleans and the bell bad been
loaned to the exposition. I remember
well the excitement the theft occasion
ed. The Times-Democrat came out the
next morning with startling headlines,
'A- Dastardly Attempt,' 'The Emblem
of American Independence, the Liberty
Bell, Stolen.'
" 'Last night was a sorrowful one
In the city,' It said. 'When Philadel
phia sent to New Orleans the- grand
old Liberty Bell, treasured not alone
by the famed city of the East, but by
the whole nation, as, the precious em
blem of national liberty, the people of
the South generally, and of Louisiana
particularly, responded warmly to this
evidence of brotherly love offered by
the. second city of the republic
"A long account of the reception, of
the bell and the care taken ot It fol
lowed, and the Times-Democrat said:
'The spot on which It stood Is a scene
of havoc. The car that bore it Is half
consumed by fire and its ruined tim
bers tell a story of wanton destruction
almost without parallel. The trees that
stood over it are no longer graceful and
grand; half devoured by fire, their
charred branches seem to cry aloud
for vengeance. Last night when the
pale moon shed her radiance over the
great park, bathing It in a flood of sil
ver light, when the grounds were calm
and still and deserted by all save the
watchful guard, this deed of wanton
ness was done.'
"Then came an account of the mount
ing of the guard and the discovery of
the fire. The account said: 'While th
firemen and the two officers were dis-v
cussing the mysterious disappearance
of the two night watchmen an. officer;,
made his way close to the car.to in-;
spect the bell and ascertain, whether
or not It had sustained any damage. To
his amazement the bell, was gone. Not
a vestige of It remained., it had been
wrung from Its fastenings and carried
off."
"There was more, detail about the
search and clew. Naturally the citi
zens and the thousands of visitors at
the exposition, were Indignant. The
entire population discussed nothing else
that morning and the cars were not
sufficient to carry tne crowd out to the
grounds to see the ruin wrought and
learn the latest clew. I could not get
a car and walked a distance of four
miles and was an hour getting through
the gate.
"The next Issue of the Times-Demo-crat
said: 'Everybody takes a joke good
naturedly on the first day of April, and
there was occasion yesterday for the
exercise of a good deal of good nature.
Everybody tried to fool everybody else.
The Times-Democrat Liberty Bell joke
went down very well, and those who
forgot the date of the paper and went

FRIEND TO THE FARMER.
To the Editor- We have noticed in
your paper from time to time, during
the present season, some extremely in
structive and interesting articles on
Binding Twine.
Permit us to add a few words today
with special reference to our own influ
ence in this market. The "Farm Im
plement News," issue of July 17, gives
the following prices of twine as the
prevailing Eastern prices to the deal
ers: Sisal (500-ft)
13 cents a pound
13 cents a pound..
Standard (600-ftV..
Manila fH0-ft)....
cents a pound.,
cents a pound.,
cents a pound.
Manila f600-ft)...
Manila (650-ft...
While it ia perfectly true and ' fair to
say tnac we would be justinea in
charging, one cent in advance of Eastern. ;
prices fer our twine of Oregon manu
facture, that is, the- the price of freight
added to 'Eastern prices, as a matter of
fact, Pare Manila, Bed Clover Leaf:
Brand, 650 feet, we are quoting to the. ,
dealers under date of July 15 at 16-
cents per pound, or one cent helow th p
prices quoted for Eastern goods.
Taking everything into account, it-
seems reasonable and appropriate that:
we call attention to the fsct that, al
though many -nerotile entertain the be-.!
lief that we are grinding monopolists,.
demanding all we can possibly get for ;
twine, here we are in the midet of an
important and strenuous season, offer
ing our goods at one cent' below the
prices Eastern dealers are obliged to
pay. In atiter words, instead of being
an oppressor of the farmer, we demon
strate in a Very practical manner tnat
we are his friend, and a good friend of
the general public, because, if any
Eastern Vwine is sold .in this market,
we force, the Eastern manufacturer to
take a sees price for It than he does in
his locy.1 market besides the freight to
the ccfest on avecoumt of our low selling
pricey. .
We cannot be too enthusiastic about
some of the remarks that have been
made in your paper concerning Binding
Twine. You have urged the consumer
repeatedly to disregard the representa
tions of unscrupulous dealers, and to
always make his decieion . concerning
purchases of twine by asking the ques
tion, "How many bundles can yon bind
with a dollar's worth of , twine?" If
the consumer will always keep in mind
this question when he inakes a pur
chase, he wiEl inesvitahly and invariably
select Pure Manila twine, for it is the
most economical "certainly, as it is 30
per cent longer tihan the other twine,
dollar for dollar and pound for pound.
