When Brother John kept insist ing that I Give up my little teaming busi ness downstate And come to the city, I thought That his heart, rather than his head, Dictated what he said and that he Just wanted to have me near but when He kept it up I came to the city To take a look around and to show him That a small capital man, like me, Had no chance. But when he showed me the "Business Opportunities" Offered in the evening Telegraph, T began to sit up and take notice. First, through the "For Sale" columns I sold My downstate business, and then T got acquainted with the big town and then. Through the automobile columns, I found A motor truck for sale, and] bought it, And contracted for some hauling and soon I had so much business that I bought another truck And so on, until now I have, after ten years' work, Twenty trucks, doing capacity business. But, as a matter of fact, .rr It was advertising my service ; In the Telegraph that brought A great deal of my business, though it took. All the hustle and honesty I had To make good.

In spite of the large umbrella of which Reeves had made his boast, Mrs. Hardy was a much-dampened little figure as she stepped forward Into the lamp-light of the front hall. Yet she was smiling:. I "Mr. Reeves was so kind about I bringing me home," she said. "Janie I ran on ahead of us, but he took good jcare of me." "Yes," Augustus added, "I thought that your daughter could take better care of herself than your wife could. , So I insisted that ilrs. Hardy must stay' under my big umbrella. But even that did not keep off all the rain, - for the wind blew it in sideways." Jane listening nt the head of the stars, giggled softly. How ready this man was to take to himself credit for the action that had been a ruse on - her part to elude him! But her mirth ; was short-lived, as her father's voice rang out peremptorily, though kindly. "Janie!" he called. "Come down (. and see Mr. Reeves as soon as you've taken off your wet duds." Then she heard him add to his guest. "She got * quite damp, thought she missed the worst of the storm. But she was so heated up from running that I was afraid she'd take cold, so I sent her up to put on some dry things. Come right in and take a chair, won't you—unless you're afraid to stop in C your wet clothes?" "Oh, no: I'm not very wet," the visitor replied. "These clothes don't soak In the water much." . , So he was going to stay and talk! ! Jane's heart sank. Yet there was no j escaping him this time. Fortunately 3 j her father and mother would be pres [ ent, and that was much better th&n , walking close to him under his um brella. Jane Comes Down to the Sitting Room ' She *ook a long time to change her dress, but at last when she could de fer the ordeal no longer, she came slowly down into the sitting room. "My! how hot it is in here!" she exclaimed. "Yes," her mother agreed, "the lamp makes it hot, but we don't dare sit outside in a thunderstorm, dearie." "I suppose not," Jane said, sinking into the chair nearest the door. Then, as silence ensued, she added lamely. "What a heavy storm it is!' "It's needed." Augustus said, with j touch of reproof in his voice.' "Un itil last Monday we hadn't had rain | for three weeks." * His manner of speaking to her as if | she were a silly little child irritated the girl. She thought of how Ned » Sanderson would have answered her remark about the storm with a hearty —"lt sure is!" "You farmers always say that rain is needed," she observed flippantly.

For my part, I hate rain." "You wouldn't make a good farm er." Her omther tried to laugh away her child's petulance^ "I shall never be a farmer," de clared the girl. "The life doesn't ap peal to me." What ailed her to-night, mused her father, that she should say such things where Augustus Reeves was? "And what," Augustus Reeves quer ied pompously, "are your plans for your life?" "I have expected to be a teacher," she answered politely, recalled to her better self and to more gentleness by the expression of anxiety on her par ents' faces. "Where?" She hesitated, and as she did so re gretted her speech anent farmers. She tried to correct the unfortunate Im pression she might have made. "From my remark about not want ing to be a farmer," she said, I may have given the iinpresston that I do not like the country." She smiled faintly. "But 1 do—l like Milton, at least—and it's home to me. So lam sorry to think that I may have to go away from here to teach in the Fall. But it looks now as if I must. I do not know what place I will go to, but I hope it won't be far from home and my people and friends." "Then you wouldn't care about liv ing in a big place like New York, would you?" Augustus asked. She Gives a Queer Answer to Reeves "Why, I never thought of it," she said simply. "But as I wouldn't want to live in any city where I had nobody belonging to me. I suppose I wouldn't want to live in New York. What a noncommittal girl she was, he thought. Yet her speech mol lified him and he talked long and with self-enjoyment of the advantages of the country over the city. After a while Mrs. Hardy remarked that she "guessed she'd best be tak ing off her wet things," so if the others didn't mind and would excuse her she'd go to her room. Reeves told her good night without rising from his chair, a fact which did not escape Jane's notice. A few minutes later Mrs. Hardy called her husband, and as he left the room with the re mark that he'd be back In a minute, Augustus turned to Jane. "I was telling your mother," he said, "that if I wanted to I might use my influence to get you a place In tho Milton school. I'm a big man on the board, you know." '"Oh!" Janie exclaimed, involun tarily, a wave of color suffusing her face, "how kind you are! I would be so happy if I could stay here at home!" | "Well, perhaps I'll decide to see what I can do about it," he told her loftily, "if" | But as Ezra Hary entered at that moment he stopped abruptly without i finishing his sentence.

Second Street Clothiers f j The Different Kind of a Credit Store A THE WANDERING MAIL BAG By Frederic J. Haskin [Continued from Editorial l'age.] sends a weekly report to Washington as to the number of bags on hand. The greatest difficulty that the post office department encounters is that of keeping the great eastern cltios adequately supplied with mail bags. New York alone requires a million a month to handle Its outgoing mail, and this number must be increased at least 40 per cent, during the Christmas sea son. In order to meet this increased de mand, Congress not long ago passed an act permitting mail bags to be shipped by mail instead of freight from November 15 to January 15. By reason of this ruling the government has to pay the railroads nearly $12,- 000 a year more than it otherwise would. It makes possible the ship ment from Chicago to New York in forty-eight hours, whereas by freight It would require ten days. The whole department of the postal equipment factory in Washington Id devoted to the making and repairing of bags. Out of each load of 10,000 mail sacks, at least 1,000 usually need some sort of repair, while a few hun dred will be found unfit, for further service. Before a bag goes into the repair room, it is thoroughly cleaned. This is done primarily for the pro tection of the employes who would otherwise be In constant danger of contagious disease. Dilapidated bags are never thrown away, but are care fully cut up and every scrap is saved. Metal parts are sold as junk at so much a pound and the bits of cloth are used as patches. The rat is the worst, natural enemy of the mail bag | and sixty women with darning needles and sewing machines are needed to repair the ravages. A Million This Year While a large number of mall bags liave been purchased by contract an' increasing number are being manu factured in connection with the repair work. An average of 3,000 daily, or a full million, will be turned out this year, flaking a mail bag is by no means a simple process. Each bag has to be handled by nearly a dozen workers before It Is ready to go out. ' The canvas Is unrolled by machinery on to a long table, where a sharp knife, run through a high folded pilo, etits out fifty at once. From the cut ting table they pass directly to the marking stand where the letters, "U. 1 S. Mail," are stenciled on indelibly. They are then passed over to the wo men machine operators who stitch them up on the machines with the strong Sea Island cotton thread which is manufactured expressly for mail bags.' During the last three months a number of tests have been made of collapsihlo hempers for handling par cel post mail, but none has proved practical so far. The trouble with the sacks now In use Is that they have not been provided with locks, and a number of thefts of parcel post pack ages have been reported to the de partment. The superintendent of tne supply factory is now designing a fast ening which will not be easily opened, although less intricate than the locks provided for the first-class mail pouches. The lock shop is the most secret feature of the equipment fac tory, and a special permit is required to gain admission. The rotary lock, now in use for the registered mail bags, represents the perfection of the locksmith's art. It is equipped with a registering dial which will register Its number from 1 to 999, the figure being raised every time It is used. After the lock has been used 999 times, It Is returned to the shop for readjustment. The serial number Is written upon a slip of paper and fastened In the bag before it is closed. The clerk who opens the bag can tell by a glance at the lock and the slip _of paper whether the lock has been tampered with since It was locked. | FORD TO EXPEND $1,000,000 IX THREE XEW PLANTS | Detroit, Mich., Nov. 6.—Coincident j with the return of Henry Ford, two I important announcements will be ■ made by the Ford Motor Company.
