Kucb a luirguiu an this man Is willing to give mo can't bo picked up once lu a hundred yearn. What do you tbluk of It?" "You start with thirty cows?" queried Mrs. Bowser. Troiu thirty to thirty-live." "They aro on the farm and piirt of the bargain, are they?" "Why, no. I must buy them." "Uh, I see. Huh tho farm a barn for cows?" "I I don't think ho, but I cuu build one." Mrs. Dowser Makes Estimates. "Of course. Let us see. Thirty pood cows will cost you $1,200. To build a dairy barn will cost you at least $800 more. Thero Is $2,ouu to start with. Hud you figured on that?" Mr. Bowser swallowed away at bis Adum's apple and began to turn pale. "To ruu a dulry of thirty cows you will have to have two men. They must jnllk, feed, drlvo tho milk to tho cream cry, etc. You cun flguro on $T0 per month as wuges, und, of course, you must board them. You must add $000 to tho $2,000 In the first year's- ex jmuihcb. Has the farm got at least thirty acres of good grass land?" "I 1 didn't auk about that, but .of course It has." , "Well. If It has you aro all right for the summer. What about the winter? j Thoao cows must bo fed from Noveui-1 ber to May. Kucli one will consume from two to three tons of bay. What nbout sixty or seventy tons of hay and the soft feed In uddltlon?" 1 "Woman, what are-you trying to get at?" shouted Mr. Bowser, as ho pound ed on tho table with Ids fist. "The actual state of affairs," she ro plled. "There will bo at .least one month out of twelve when half your cows will be furrow or nursing their X j - 1 a. X j I , l.! J? XTwk calves.

"I'on't tell me that I am bobbing around!" shouted Mr. Itowm-r, ho loud ly that he wus licit rd In tho next house, "One would think you w.ro talking to nn Infant. I say you are wroii4 from beginning to end. I tell you there's at least $.",0M) a ycjtr clean profit In this thing for me, but of eourxo you want to knock It In the head if you can. Hj thunder, whnt a JackfiMM I am ever to sit down and talk to you ilwut bnsl iiohm!" "I don't think you bavo lout anything by It," quietly replied Mrs. Itowser. "However. If you think I am wrong, please nhow me where. Can you buy cows for lcs4 than $40 apiece? Haven't you got to have a barn? Haven't you got to hnve help? Haven't yoif got to have feed? Tell me where my figures aro too high," "What's the use? You don't want to be convinced, and you won't be. I am j offered the opHjrliiuliy of my life, and yon stand lu the way and try to make me out nil Idiot." "Yon are hardly fair with me, Mr. Howser. If you will show me where I am wrong lu my figures I'll cheerfully shirt n dairy farm with you." "I'll bring you flgun-4 from it muu who has run a dairy farm himself and made $lii.iKi n year at It. I'll even lfrlng the man himself." A inliiuto later Mr. r.owscr wn out of the limine ami on bis way to the family butcher's, lie bad often heard that the bnleher was formerly a dairy farmer, and that hU sole object lu sell ing out mid moving Into town was to educate bit sou lu telling the difference between a kuix'kkiieed horse nud a eomle opera. He found the butcher smoking his pipe and meditating, and be began: "Mr. Hone, didn't you used to run a dulry furtu somewhere V" "I think ho," wut the cautious an swer. "And you made $10.(hsj n year?" "1 have been charged with so doing." "Well, now, knowing me as you do, what would you advise lu my cane? I can trade my house mid lot for a dairy farm." "How ninny acres?" "Highly." "How many cows?" "As many a I want to buy. I thought of starting with thirty." "How's the cow barn?" "There Isn't any." "What's your experience?" "Haven't had any." Ilotrhrr Discourages Plan. "Mr. UowKer," said the butcher, as bo roso up and got behind tho meat block, "go Into the business of raising Jackasses. You have bad experience and can't help but muke a success." There would have been a row had not a couple of womeu customers come In. Mr, ltowser was forced to post pone the bloodletting to another time, and be went out and wandered up and down the street with beat head and back bumped up. His dairy bud soured on him. His "Dowser's ltest" would never be on the market. He would never rub the backs of cows or fondle their calves. And men and womeu who took notice of blm whispered to each other: "Suy, that's Bowser, that is, and Mrs. Bowser's got tho better of blm again QUAD.

Clo rlisTvn(!uti on the pnrt of a newpnjier m.in In Iloston several yours oko rfvealed a strlklnn derl employe I by the firm of McKlin, Mead Si White, Uio noted New York archi tects, of which Stanford White, wbo wns niurdereil by iinrry K. Thaw in New York recently, was a member. Tho device, says the Pittsburg Gazette Times, was nn nrrontlc of names fa mous in history, literature and art by which tbe firm's name was to be cn jrraved on tlio Boston Tubllc library. As may bo observed, the arrangement defied literature, history and philoso phy In arrangement, and this was tlio thin? that attracted the newspaper man's attention. The names were con glomerated from all nations and 8 gee Into a seemingly nent ornamentation for tho fine building. I'.cginning at tho top of a space to be devoted to names faiuou In tho world In various lines were the following: Mospf, Cicero. ' Kall1aa, Jdocrates, Milton. These names, throngh their Initials, formed tho first part of the acrostic, spelling plainly "McKlm." A slight space appeared before the next list of names, which was: Mozart, Kuclld. Aeschylus, ' Dante. , The Initials of these names brought out tho second name of the firm, "Mead." Another slight space, and tho following names appeared: Wren, Herrick. Irving. Titian. Erasmus. Ere was tho name "White" also en graved, the whole device bringing ont the firm name of "McKlm, Mead & White" in connection with tie world's famed men. It was in 1890, just before the building was completed, that the discovery was made and published. Tbe list of names was changed. THE REAL LINCOLN. II Was Kot Homelr. and lie Was Kot Slovenlr In, Dress. For many years It has been tbe fash ion to call Mr. Lincoln homely. lie was very tall and very thin. Ills eyes were deep sunken, bis skin of a sallow pallor, his hair coarse, black and un ruly. Yet be was neither ungraceful nor awkward nor ugly. His large fea tures fitted bis large frame, and bbi large hands and feet were but right on a body that measured six feet fonr inches. Ills was a sad and thoughtful face, and from boyhood he had carried a load of care. It is small wonder that when alone or absorbed In thought the face should take on deep lines, tbe eyes appear as if seeing something beyond the vision of other men and the shoul ders stoop aa though they, too, were bearing a weight But In a moment all would be changed. The deep eyes could flash or twinkle merrily with hu mor or look out from under overhang ing brows as they did upon the Five Points children in kindliest gentleness. So, too, in public speaking, when bin till body rose to its full height, with head thrown back and his face trans figured with tbe fire and earnestness of bis thought, be would answer Doug las in tbe bigb, clear tenor that came to blm in tbe heat of debate, carrying his ideas so far out 1 over listening crowds. And later, during the years of war. when he pronounced with noble gravity tbe words of his famous ad dresses, not one in the throngs that heard him could truly say that he was other than a handsome man. It has been the fashion, too, to say that he was slovenly ajid careless In his dress. This also is a mistake. His clothes could not fit smoothly on bis gaunt and bony frame. He was no tailor's figure of a man, but from tbe first be clothed himself as well as his man t a a 11 a1 an1 in rha in cYi (sn cf the time and place. In reading the grotesque stories of his boyhood, of the tall stripling whose trousers left exposed a length of shin, it must be remembered not only how poor he was, but that be lived on tbe frontier, where other boys, less poor, ' were scarcely better clad. In Vandalla the blue jeans be wore were the dress of his companions as well, and Inter, from Springfield days oa, clear throu.b his presidency, bis costume was the usual suit of black broadcloth, careful ly made and scrupulously neat. He cared nothing for -style. It did not matter to blm whether the iiiau with whom he talked wore u coat o' l!ie latest cut or owned no coat at all. It wns the man iuslde the coat that in terested him. Helen Kicolay In St Nicholas. Manaers. Manners nre of more Importance than luws. Upon them, lu u jrreat measure, the laws depend. The LiW touches them but here uud there, uuw and then.
