The association bas grown until it new has 3 members, and did over $5. . business last year. The success of the association is due largely to the exce !- lent management of its affairs and also to the fact that public sentiment pre- vents a break. The two or three farm- era who have sold grain to outsiders without paying the commission have been ostracized socially, Its profits, of course, are due to the fact that the middleman is el'minated and its man- agers are content to work for merely nominal salaries. The wreck of most cooperative associations has been due to bad management and the lack of sound principles in the conduct of their afairs.

THE VERGE OF CRIME

THERE was a wild, hunted look in the photographer's eye when the first of the day's sitters appeared the other morning The photographer looked as if he needed a change of kir and scene.

"Will ibey a:] say it again to-day?" he muttered, gloomily, placing his palm to hus fevered brow.

The first sitter was a large, rosy-cheeked nan. From the photographer's point of view he looked promising. He was certain. y old enough to have sense, and he looked at though he had been engaged in a successful business for a sufficient number of years to have acquired an aversion to the pet ex pressions that go with each sitting for a pho-

the photographer advanced.

"Well," said the large, rosy-cheeked man, 'you can just he prepared to have your camera broken. How's that, hey? Ha, ha. ha!" and the large, rosy-cheeked man shook merrily all over. "Not so bad, eh! Yes, sir, you can just be prepared to have your camera broken. See the point? Ha, ha!"

The photographer's teeth snapped, hut & forced, vacant smile appeared upon his wan features,

"I'd as lief have a tooth pulled any day as to have my picture taken," went on the large, rosy-cheeked man.

The photographer's hands opened closed convulsively, but he remained cair enough to make two negatives of the large rosy-cheeked man.

"Merciful heaven!" groahed the pho tographer when the first sitter bad depart ed, "are they all going to say it again to. day? Am I to be compelled to push my features inlo gleeful grins every time " His agonized reflections were broken by the entrance of the second of the day's sitters. She was young and very lovely, and brimming over with laughter.

"I am afraid your lens will suffer," she said, archly, to the photographer, handing him the ticket the reception-room girl had given her.

"Oh, hardly that," moaned the photog rapher, forcing another weird grimace to his pallid features.

"Do you know," went on the blithe young thing as he put her head-rest in position, "I really believe that I'd as soon have s tooth pulled as to have my photograph taken," and then she gave vent to peal upon peal of silvery laughter.

"Ha, ha!" hoarsely ejaculated the pho tographer.

"My mind is giving way!" said the pho- tographer to himself, as he took the two negatives of the lovely young thing to the dark room. "I shall not be able to hold out much longer.

The third sitter was a gay young fellow in a golf suit.

"Just blaze away, old fellow," said the gay young fellow, looking the photographer in the eye and waiting for the latter to go off into shrieks of merriment, "and if 1 break the glass in that machine o' yours don't tell me that I didn't warn you in ad vancel"

"Ha!" said the photographer, with the mockery of a smile usually worn hy the man who says "That's good!"

"Horrible joh, this getting your picture taken, isn't it?" continued the gay young fellow in the goif togs. "I'm not stuck on dentists' pariors particularly, but blamed if I don't believe I'd rather have a tooth pulled than to get photographed."

"Shall I kick him into ribbons where he stands ?"" muttered the photographer to himself, stepping behind a piece of photo. graphic scenery in order to hold communion with himself. "Shall I take him by his two ears and pound his head on the floor until he is unconscious?"

With difficuity, however, he restrained himself. When he reached the dark room. with the two plates which he bail made of the youth in the golf rig, he once more placed his palm to his fevered brow, and by a strong exertion prepared to meet the next sitter, who had already entered the operaling.room.

"It's a great risk for you to take with your camera," was the way in which the middle-aged Woman greeted him as she

handed in her ticket. "I would not insure any camera that was to be used to take a picture of me for the price of it," she con- kinued.

The photographer again mustered his little reserve of courage, and replied that it had run greater risks and survived them. at which the lady laughed.

"A photographer's We must he an awful"

"It is madam, it is," assented the pho- tographer, unable to contain himself longer, hut his rudeness had no effect upon the silter.

"Now if no one liked having pictures taken any better than I do," she began again, "I am afraid the photographers would not have very much to do. I al. ways did say that I would rather have the dentist extract a tooth for me than to have a picture taken, but then one is as neces- sary as the other at times."

But the photographer had not heard the last of her remark before he had escaped to the dark room, where he leaned heavily against the wall for some minutes.

"Well," he finally said, half to himself, ''as well now as later on. I haven't got the wife and children to have me ascend the gallows, but there's no help for it."

Looking furtively around the dark room. he seized H long, gleaming knife from drawer, and placed it in his hip pocket. "I don't care if it's man, woman. child or dog." he muttered: "the next animated thing that makes either one of those re- marks to me-the one about 'hreaking the camera' or about preferring to have a tooth pulled to being photographed-is never go- ing to leave this gallery alive!"

There was an expression of awful deter- mination on his countenance when the pho- tographer emerged from the dark room to receive sitter No. 4. This sitter tras = short, squat. smooth faced man with bovine eyes. He didn't say a word, but merely handed his little ticket to the wondering photographer, with a pleasant smile. photographer looked at the man in surprise, The but the sitter, while he continued to smile pleasantly, appeared to have nothing what ever to say.

"Bust three-quarter or full-length?" in quired the photographer, suspicious.y, thinking thus to draw the quiet mian on to his terrible fate.

But there was no reply

"Profile or full face?" asked the photog rapher.

The squat man made no reply, hut, sud denly looking up, he observed that the photographer was addressing him. Then he pointed to his mouth and ears to indi cate that he was deaf and dumb.

With a wild shriek of demoniac laughter, the photographer grasped the handle of his long, gleaming knife, handed it hilt fore- most to the mute, and burst into a torrent f grateful tears.

"You have saved me from hecoming e murderer!" he gasped, just as if the mu !. could hear him .- Washington Star

A WONDERFUL WATCH.

One in Maryland Known as a Malile Which Aroused Mark Twain'n Admiration.

What is perhaps the most wonderful watch in the world is in the posses sion of a resident of Prince Gregory county, Maryland, says the Washingtor Times.

This remarkable timepiece, known as the Matile watch, from the name of ils maker, was made at Lone, Switzerland about 40 years ago. It formed a feature of the Swiss exhibit at the centennial held at Philadelphia in 1876, and was purchased on that areasion by it' present owner. A description of the watch by Mark Twain (S. L. Clemens) is as remarkable for accuracy as it is humorons. The well known wriles thus gives his impressions of the mar velous piece of mechanism:

"I have examined the wonderfni watch made hy H. L. Matile, and, in deed. it comes nearer to being a human being than any piece of mechanism ] ver saw before. In fact, it knows considerably more than the average voter. Il knows the movements the moon, and keeps exact record or them; it tells the day of the week, The . date of the month, and the month of the year. and will do this perpetually; it tells the hour of the day, and the minute, and the second, and even splits the second into fifths, and marks lhe division by stop hands, having two of the latter; it can take accurate care of two roce horses that start, not to- gether, but one after another; it is a repeater (wherein the voter is sho

Lesieu again), ano, musically chime; the hour. the quarter, the half and the three-quarter hour, and also the min- utes that have passed of an uncom. pleted quarter-hour, so that a hlind man can tell the time of day by it to the exact minute,

Such is this extraordinary watch. It ciphers to admiration. I should think onr could add nnother wheel and make it read and write, still another and make it talk ; and I think one might take out several of the wheels that are already in it and it would still be a more intelligent citizen than some that help to govern the country. On the

whole. I think it is entitled to vote- that is, if its sex is of the right kind." The watch was sold for $1,400, and it is still performing its complex functions with the greatest regularity.

LILLIAN RUSSELL A CONVERT.

Announcer to Her Friends That she Has Beenme a Fatih Christ After Much Study.

After long and diligent stoly of the religion lathan Russell has un- ommer to het friend that she's an mit-am'-pins faith curist. She 'ner Hof subscribe to the durtripes of MT -. Ed's, of the Christian Science cult. in their entirely, but so strongly is sh- convincer of the power of the mind wer the tenneney of the body to br- come cisurderly that she is almost hoping fur a severe attack of illness in order that she may give the the. nry a test

Atthe outset it may he said that Mis- Russell has never hein seriously il in her life and that her health at the present time is so good that she is almost ashamed of herself. It is hard, indeed, for a woman to work as many as two hours a day on a hol. stuffy stage and be unable to produce a single pain. Even on days when there is a matinee Miss Russell retains her scandalous freedom from bodily aches and pains.

"I have noticed. however." she said the other day, "that when I get head- aches I am able to get rid of them hy simply concentrating my mind on the proposition that I have no head- nche.

"Of course I don't believe that I could wish myself a new arm should I have one cut off by a Broadway car, nor do I believe that my mind would he strong enough to equip me with a new lung should I fall a victim to the ravages of consumption. I do not go to those lengths. But I do say that we are too prone to drug ourselves and that the mind is in such supreme control that the ordinary ills of life can be cured by thought concentration.

"This is not a new belief with me." continued Miss Russell. "I have had as much trouble as any woman, but I have found. all through my life. that by persistently concentrating my mind on the bright side of a dark situation -- thal every cloud has its silver lining, you know-] have been able to live quite placidly, If women could only be brought to the realization of the power of the mind we would have more healthy and happy members of our Fex."

Miss Russell is not the only advocate of the faith enre in the profession. Many actresses go to greater lengths in their advocacy of the cult than the prima donna. But it is news at this time that this beautiful woman, with everything that a female heart could deside at her disposal, should come out in advocacy of the theory of the superiority of the mind over matter.

WHERE AMERICANS MAY WIN.

Portugal a Greal Fleid for Amerlenn Enterprise, Snys Onr Min- Inter There.

There is a great field in Portugal for American enterprise, writes John N. Irwin, United States minister to 1bal kingdom, in Success. Our manufac- turers really ought to "prospect" in that little-known country. In the first place they are made most welcome. The king and the queen, hoth young and truly regal speak English perfect- ly and are among our warmest admir- ers. They reflect the sentiment of their people. In the second place, American goods are needed, and he progressive part of the population would welcome them as a means of ad- vancing the

country's prosperity, English-made machinery now used there is of old type and not up to date. In Lisbon the old style of transporta- tion is being changed to the electric system. While English capital is con- ducting the enterprise, every bit of ma- terial, from the smallest boll to the modern cars, is of American make. Portugal sends us cork, and we send her petrolenin and whent. but in my opinin the balance of trade now in our favor could be materially increased if our manufacturers were to take full advantage of their opportunities in the lit +1= kingdom
