FORTUNES OF A MANU
SCRIPT. A Philadelphia newspaper man gives
tho following Interesting account of
his experience in marketing a manu
script :
"The story was originally a tale of
love and adventure and contained
about f,0)0 words. I wrote it three
years ago and persistently sent it the
rounds of the magazines. It always
came back. Then I tried the class pub
lications, changing it from time to time
to conform to tho requirements of each.
Once I injected a comedy vein into H
and sent it to a comic weekly. On au
other occasion, the atmosphere turned
it Into a Christmas story, and some of
that still, remains. It has been every
kind of a story that you could think
of. Finally I sold it to tho publication
in which it bus just appeared. It has
dwindled from 5,000 words to l,.r00
words, nnd I don't suppose there are
a hundred words of tho original ver
sion left ; but I got $15 for it, and I
shall eat regularly for awhile at any
rate."
A Sign Reader.
"I'm beginning to be able to read
signs!" suid Hurry, rushing into the
house to display his new accomplish
ment. "No I Are you really?" asked a
round eyed small sister.
"Yes, indeed. Listen to this:
What do you think it's a sign of
when our old gray cat catches a
bird ?"
The little sister pondered and
gave it up.
"I'm sure I don't know, Harry.
Do tell me."
"It's a sure sign of bad luck for
the bird !" cried Harry, rushing out
again in a hurry.

letters in my mail one day. They
were piled up neatly before me, and
I began to look over tho contents of
each. Finally down in the pile quite
a way there lay a letter turned back
up. I opened it without looking at
the address and pulled out a certifi
cate for a deposit of $3,000 in the
bank.
"I scanned those figures closely.
I knew they wore my handwriting,
tho ciphers being large and clear.
But I also knew that certificate had
been for only $300, or, rather, the

I pulled myself together very quick-1

elapsed and the certificate bad gone

Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont was
the first representative to appear in
the house with a new spring suit of
clothes. It was a check worsted
wliich Representative Dick said was
louder than the speech which Rhea
of Kentucky was delivering at the
time. The members crowded about
Mr. Belmont and offered congratu
lations on his quiet attire. He took
their gibes good naturedly until one
of them said :
"I believe that suit makes more
noise than Belmont's red automo
bile when it is going down Pennsyl
vania avenue, and the automobile
sounds like a machine gun in ac
tion." "Now, see here," rejoined the New
York city congressman testily.
"these clothes are mine, and I am
wearing them."
The other representatives moved
away at this sign of ill temper and
talked of introducing a resolution
to the effect that the millionaire's

A Qlanc at the Future.
Professor Collins, Pennsylvania's
scientific agriculturist, some time
ago was recommending to a Berks
county furmer a powerfully fertilia
ing manure in which ho was inter
ested. After some discussion the
sagacious farmer declared that ho
had no faith in the manure, as the
proposed quantity waa too small to
be of any use.
"My dear sir," stud the professor,
"such are the wonderful discoveries
in science that I should not be but-'
prised if in the near future wo carry'
tho manure for acres of land to the
field in the pocket of our coat."
"That may bo so," replied the
farmer, "but in thut case 1 m inclin-'

the crop in the pocket of your vest."

WHY IT BELIEVES.
Says the N. Y. Independent : "We
believe In God, not because of light
nings and volcanoes, but In spite of
them. We do not expect to understand
all the dealings of the Almighty. We
do not yet understand the forces of na
ture, and are very far from unraveling
the seerets of mutter and life thut ure
right around us, under our eyes. But,
Ignorant as we are, there are somi'
things thut we can already know. Be
lieving in God, we believe thut he e ro
uted nuture uud gave it its laws. Then
are those whose notion of God requires
them to believe thut he guve nuture no
laws or powers, but that every uct of
nature, every dropping of an apple,
every chemical combination, every
evaporation of a drop of dew, is a spe
cial act of divine will exorcised on na
ture, and they say thut what we call
laws of nuture are only God's hubit
of doing things. This is a needless
way of maintaining the divine rule
over nature. It Involves the disagree
able thought thut every mischief of fe
ver or flood or storm or flume Is the
e fleet of a special volition of God to
that particular end. It is wiser and
more philosophical, as well- as more
natural to think of nature as controll
ed by laws imposed upon It, those
laws acting automatically ; although
their action can to some extent he con
trolled or diverted by the opposing
will of living beings."
