ULTIMATE ROAD TO SUCCESS Clever Poet, With Beautiful Style and Nice Touch, Makes Fortune Out of Baseball Dope. “What’s become of Kimberley?” “Kimberley? I don’t remember any such chap.” “Oh, yes you do. He used to be re garded as the ablest literary man in this town. Wrote essays, poems, his torical monographs and that sort of thing.” “Oh, yes, yes. I remember him — Algernon Kimberley. Why, he’s rich and famous now. The fact that you didn’t know all about him was what made me suppose you must be refer ring to some other Kimberley. Yes, Kimberley’s struck it rich.” “Indeed? I’m mightly glad to hear that. A very clever chap—beautiful style, nice touch and all that sort of thing. I’m surprised that I have not heard of his success before. But I always had an idea that his greatness would be recognized. What line has he succeeded in? I hope it’s poetry. I think he has the true poetic spirit, and his expression is rather original. We need a great poet just at this time.” “Poetry? I should say not. After he had nearly starved writing poetry and essays and historical monographs he went to writing baseball dope and syndicating it. It went great, and I understand he’s making over SSOO a week.” Fatal Mistake. “I hear that the Softleighs have separated.” “Yes, and it was her fault.” “What was the trouble?” “In a woman’s magazine she read that singing old love songs was a fine way to cure one’s husband of grouchi ness.” “Well?” “She made a mistake and read her husband’s old love letters to him in stead.” THE TRUTH OF IT. Mr. Asketh —Is it true, doctor, that physicians won’t take their own medi cine? Dr. Emdee —About as true as that other people won’t take their own ad vice. Departed Hair. “A lock of Napoleon’s hair recently sold for SSO at auction. Pretty high lor a lock of hair, eh?” ‘‘Oh, I don’t know,” responded the Laid headed man. “I think I’d be will ing to pay at that rate for my own hair, if I could get it back.” Selfish. “I -see Jack Hansom was married the other day to Miss Richley.” “Yes, and I was very sorry to see it.” “Sorry? For her sake or his?” “For mine; I wanted her.”—Catholic Standard and Times. Probably One of the Orators. “This,” said Mrs. Lapsling, who was exhibiting the photograph album to the caller, “is a picture of a second cousin of mine who has a government position in the Philippines. He be longs to w'hat they call the confabu iary.” Seldom Found. “All aphorisms are not true. For instance, that loving words can medi cine most ills” . “Can’t they?” “How can they when they are any thing but a drug in the market?” Barred From Baseball. “So you want your wife to go into politics.” “Certainly. She’s entitled to some of the current fun and excitement, and she doesn’t know a bingle from a home ruu.” NAVIGATION AND IRRIGATION. Some people complain because steamboats no longer ply on the Colo rado river between Yuma and Needles, and deep-water vessels no longer run between Yuma and Guay mas, and Yuma has dost both her navigable river and her penitentiary, and from a seaport has become an in land town. But the Coolrado river is more val uable for irrigation than for naviga tion. Thousands of acres north and east of Yuma have been redeemed from aridity by the dam and thousands more will be redeemed by the great siphon from the bed of the river to a point lower down. A thous and acres of orchard and alfalfa will bi ing more business and more money into Yuma every year than all the stern-wheelers that ever sparred them selves over the sand bars, or puffed against the whirlpools of the Colo rado. Vv hen Alexander determined on sending his fleet up the Tigris he cut the earthen dams thrown across the river. He put the boats where he wanted them for military purposes, but he destroyed the productiveness of the ’and, and returned it to the desolation which has brooded there ever since. Now Sir William Willeocks, the great English irrigation engineer, pro poses to the Turkish government that a portion of Mesopotamia be re deemed from aridity to productive ness by restoring the ancient dams in the Tigris. This will put an end to navigation between Basrakish and Bagdad, but the water would suffice to irrigate land on which $37,500,000 worth of cotton could be produced an nually.-Los Angeles Times Illustrat ed Weekly. New York Uses Much Water. In the whole world there are only about 1,500,000 people. An inch of rain on our watershed normally would give two gallons of water for every man, woman and child on the surface of the earth. Put it another way: If every man, woman and child on the face of the earth should walk up to to the lakes, reservoirs, etc., which hold New York city’s water supply, and each pour in two gallons of water, it would not be enough to last that city ten days. A NEW EXPLOSIVE. A new substitute for dynamite, so safe to handle that it may be sihot full of holes, burned in a fire, or pounded with a hammer without dan ger, is being introduced into this country by an English mining engi neer. Its rending power, ounce for ounce, is claimed to be twice that of dynamite, once it is exploded, which is possible only with a per cussion cap. NOTICE OF SALE.
