' ' A JUGFUL OF BEANS ; I , , By M. QUAD ; ; Copyright, Ull. by Associated Lit erary Frees. The town of Swan Creek had been founded five years when the inhabit ants began to talk about a church. Then It took three more of hard scratching to get up a building that stopped abort at tha roof. ..There' was neither spire nor belfry, but the people were well satisfied with things aa they were until a tin peddler drove into the village one day and raised ii dlsseimlon. He got hold of Uriah Goodspeed and Deacon Sparrow and others' and Bald : ."I'm telling you that nothing makes me feel like telling the truth and leav ing off swear words as the sound of a church bell. It's the same with lots of other men. You want a bell on a Church Just as much as a man wants a hat on his head. If you don't have a bell you might aa well put your preach er In a stable fp preach." " , The peddler went his way. and there was talk And talk. After three or four days he came back, and there was more talk. Everybody had decided that It would be 'a good thing to get a bell, but Do one knew just how to ko to work to' raise the money. It was for the peddler to show the way. r "It can be done as easy as falling off a log," he explained, "and you can have some fun over It at the same time. I'm going to lay up here for a couple of ' weeks while t paint my wagon, and I'll see you through," ' ' flle plan was to fret a gallon jug and put a lot of beans into It. o one else should know how many. Everybody should pay GO cents to guess, and the one ' who came nearest the number should get nls half dollar back, and the rest of the money should go for a bell. Two or three of the deacons hung off a little, thinking the plan looked like a lottery, '.but after a day or two the thing was s go. Indeed, Deacon Bos sier, who was slways considered a lucky ' man,' planked down $2 and re corded four guesses, and the ball was started rolling. Inside of four days every man ,ln Swan Creek bad paid for at least one guess, and.lnslde' ot a week most of the farmers for five miles around had caught the spirit . The ped dler had charge of the money as well aa the beans, and every evening there was a gathering at the postofflce to talk the thing over. ' ' After two weeks there were no more guesses to come in, and a meeting was arranged to count the money and the beans snd send a committee up to Troy to tuf the bell. Everybody turned out to the meeting. ' ' Defleon Bosmer took charge. Be didn't ex actly know whether to7 open with a Fourth of July oration or the singing of a hymn, but upon a hint from 811ns Wlgfalf. who bad Just 'got over" the measles snd waa feeling happy, he recited a poem fend gave Christopher Columbus a certificate of character for Sobriety. ' ; ' .Then the meeting waited for be peddler to show up, , and. while ; It waited Fearnaught Pilgrim got up and started to eulogize George Wash ington. ' Be had been sorting over po tatoes that day and "had got thlugs mixed. Be said Washington and Nero had gone down In history together and that the Father of Bis, Country and Captain Kldd would never be forgotten while the fires of patriotism continued to burn. ' Just about that time Ltsb Billings came sauntering lu. It had been whiujiered around that he was the only man In Swan Creek who hadn't come with a guess, but nobody bad dared to ask blm. As soon aa Deacon Boamer caught sight of him be said: - "I observe that Mr. Billings has just entered the hall. May I ask him to give us some Information on the sub ject of church bells r ... "Too may." answered Llsh. "Too are going to buy a bell for the meet ing house, but I don't understand where you are going to hang It Will It be on a fence or s post? There's no tower or belfry. ' Why didn't some of you thick headed people think of that?" "Yes. why didn't her shouted a dozen voices" In chorus. "It wssn't my fault" explained the deacon. "I was bossing the bell, and I supposed some of you would took out for the other things. It's no use to get a bell until we get s.bei.'Ty- . "Perhaps the tin ped)Ier can help us out" suggested some one, jind there were shouts of "Peddler, peddler P from all over the hall. As he did got atand up in response Deacon Boamer held up hla band and said: "Perhaps Mr. Fillings will be kind enough to set ss s committee of one to step across to the paint abop and bring the peddler over." ... . "It wouldn't be any us" replied Llsh, with s grin. "Be left town half an hour ago, and L bad k gait of fif teen miles sn hour on blm when he rsttled over the bridge!" 7 ' The people were benumbed for thirty seconds. Tbrn they broke loose With a yell snd began .thumping one another, and it took some of them four weeks to get rid ot their black eyes and skinned nosea. Deacon Bosmer lost three front teeth and most ot his chin whlskea, snd Fearnaught Pilgrim had his noes knocked out of plumb and his ear bit ten. Night closed down on a scene of carnage, and the sun came up on a pic ture of desolation, snd It took the town ten years to recover its childish confi dence In lightning rod and tin peddlers. ' Borne were simple enough, to hope that the peddler mirt again appear at or near Swan sui that they might hammer blm. But he never gladdened them by bis presence.

Friday the Thirteenth. . Some superstitions die bard, if in deed tbey are dying at all. Twice this year the thirteenth day of the month has fallen on a Friday. It Is Impossi ble not to connect this combination with certain observations made In Par la and London. On Friday, Oct 13, there were no marriages in Paris, snd a reference to three London papers, the Times, the Morning Post snd the Globe, shows that none 'was recorded on that date, and a wedding is hardly a wedding if It is not put on record In the Morning Post and the Times. In France the effect of Friday, the 13th.' waa even more widespread. Thousands of French people must have abstained from traveling. The receipts of the General . Omnibus com pany In Paris showed s shrinkage of 10,000 francs, or $2,000. The Midi Hallway company Buffered to the ex tent ot 15,000 franca, while the Wagons Llts fell 12,000 francs.-New York Sun.

At a recent meeting ot the Paris Academy of Sciences M. Kens dis cussed the phenomenon of "feeling at a distance," to which the power ot blind people to avoid nearby obstacles la ascribed. M. Kuns believes that such a power exists and that it la not peculiar to the blind. It seems to be Shared by others who possess a pecul iar constitution. The faculty appears to reside In the skin, for experiments show that it is not connected with the sense of hearing. As to Its nature, lit tle . knowledge has been obtained. There is a tendency to ascribe obscure phenomena of this kind to electrical action, but the mode of operation re mains unknown. A Baltle-Blaek See Canal, It Is stated that the old project for uniting the Baltic with the Black sea Is at last to be put into operation. By utilizing the rivers Dwlna and Dnieper a navigable waterway 1,000 miles long can be constructed without any great engineering problems, extending from the port ot Riga on the Baltic to Kher son on the Black sea. The cost is es timated at about 290,000,000. but the benefit to Prussian commerce and In dustries will be immense. American Travelers' Gazette.

It does not compete with other forms of advertising but occu pies a field of its own at a time when there is nothing to detract from It when people are walking or riding, when they do not read the papers. The moBt striking evidence, per haps, of its value as a means for pub ltcity, Is the enormous increase of Its una by merchants of all kinds, In multitudinous forms, limited appar ently only by the capacity of Imagl nation In which light may be utilized in the great Held of aggressive pub licity. A brilliant and artistically Ilium Inated store presents a cheerful and Inviting appearance which merchants have come to realize 1b a very Impor tant element to success tri biuilness, as it unconsciously extends a welcome and establishes confidence. Human Instinct prompts people to go into well-lighted stores, to walk on well lighted streets and to visit well-lighted cities. The most popular form of light for publicity Is the show window. Be sides, a well-lighted show window is much more attractive by night than by day, as there Is not so much to de tract from It, the eye being naturally attracted by an Illuminated object at night. There are many classes of goods that appear more striking and attractive under artificial light than by daylight. Besides, Illuminated show windows add to the brilliancy and at tractiveness of the street. The illuminated sign burns the name, business and location into tne public mind. It is Indeed the sign of the times; a symbol which represents the business idea so completely that Its advent within the comparatively brief period of 10 yeara baa changed the appearance of cities. 2t PREMIUMS CEASE .When totally and permanently disabled by injury disease under policies in the New York Life Insurance Company A SHOWING OP QUALITY NATIONAL BANKS 'Capital'" Bank of England... ... .; ... ... 72,765.000 Bank of Franc ; .. 86,600,000 Bank of Germany ... 42,840,000 Bank of Russia sc nnn nan 4D0 V.
