HOME TRADE FABLE Take an ordinary needle and put It upon a fork, and slowly lower the fork Into a tumbler of water; the needle will then float just like a piece of straw. The reason of this Is that a meniscus, or bed, convex on one Bide, and concave on the other. Is formed upon the surface of the water, and the surface of this meniscus, being large to comparison with that of the needle, the latter is supported by it, so that scarcely any part of the needle touches HOW THE TRANSFORMATION OF A TOWN WAS EFFECTED. One Public Spirited Citizen Who Realized the Big Possibilities and Cultivated the Field to Ad- , vantage. Once upon a time there was a Man, who in his youth Was reared upon a farm located near a Small Town of Great Promise. Two weeks In each year when he was not sawing wood, feeding the stock or picking potatoes, he was allowed to attend the little red schoolhouse In tho town. Hy hard labor during the day, and persistently reading a few old books which were heirlooms In his family, and each week absorbing the Intelligence contained In the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time he could mark down his age at 18 had accumulated years, sufficient knowledge to run away from borne. He wandered to a large city and there his great muscular power assisted to gain for himself a position as Chief Scrubber in a large store. He bad not acquired the cigarette habit, and his faithfulness to his scrubbing brush, and his unwillingness to know all about his employers business, soon attracted the attention of the Old Man, and at the end of a year he was promoted to Head Rustler In the shipping department at the large salary of eight dollars n week. His disregard for scooting when the closing time came, and his total lack of awelled head so pleased the Old Man that from time to time the ambitious youth was advanced until at the end of six years he was drawing the biggest salary paid by the house, and $50 a month somewhere for supplies. This meant a total of $30,000 a month; Then the few hun$360,000 a year. town would add In the dred people other thousands to the volume of business.

Farmers when they came to town looked up the big building with wonder The Weekly Mirror had to send away for typp to set up the page advertisement for the new store, and to get a new press for the printing of circulars and posters. One month after the opening of the store the graveyard quietness of the town had passed away. Streets were lined with the teams and the wagons of the farmers. A new elevator for grain had been started. The railroad placed a new switch In the yard to accommodate the increased business. The son of the old town blacksmith reopened the old shop closed for years because of no trade. New life was rapidly being Injected Into th place. There was an election. A lot of newcomers selected the Public Spirited Citizen for chairman of the town board. He was elected. In six months the streets were paved, an electric lighting plant was In operation, along with a water works. The Great Storekeeper had a way of dolng.thlngs, and he did them.
