An ' Enterprising lilo-our“: Wheflul
Become I Platoon-at in the
Business.
“You eastern people are not the only
enterprising inhabitants of the globe,"
said an enthusiastic man in a New York
business house, according to the Sun
of that city. “I have a neighbor
in Pemiscot county, my state. Missouri,
who 15 a sort of plutocrat in graveyards.
Some years ago he opened a tombstone
flactory in his part of the state, and as
he marked down the price, he had quite
aboom in his business. In a short time
there was a 'monument 01' headstone
.at every grave in the can: eterv. and as
live people do not buy tombstones, this
man’s business was hit b1' what your
Wall street folks call a il1ury. What

far away and buy a g'yraxe 1":11d of his
own and put down the price of lots.
This caused quite a cemetery boom un-
til all the lots were disposed of. As
soon as ‘some of the people began to die
1the enterprising tombstone dealc1 was
again in the whirl, or, as my old friend
‘Wilbur F. Storey was wont to say at his
p paper, on the top crest of the ad1anc-
ing wave. In a. year or so he had every
{rave in the cemetery marked with his
.toods, and another thud hit his busi-
town, invested in another
site, and manipulated this scheme as he
had the others, and with like results.
“That makes three cemeteries he has
started. filled and marked, and the last
time I saw him he told me he was look-
ing for another. He is now known as a
graveyard promoter.”

A Brooklyn man and‘wit’e have had
two peculiar experiences which have
' caused them to be talked about in their
neighborhood. A few months ago they
“went out for the evening and forgot to
take a nigh-tkey. The servant was out
the same night. When the man and his
wife returned and failed to get a re-
sponse to their ring the husband
smashed one of the windows and
crawled in. In this way he opened the
'door and admitted his wife, says the
New York Sun.
One experience of this character}.

Twelve Days Ahead of Ev-

The most out-of-date almanac is that
possessed by Russia. while. the palm for
the “largest- circulation” goes to that
issued from Peking. Incredible though
it may sound. it is nevertheless _a fact
that. the land of the Great White Tsar
still cherishes a calendar which is 12
days ahead of everybod1 else, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
it is true that our own calendar was
11 days out until 1751. Then our Eng-
lish forefathers put it straight by drop-
pine; these spare days out. of the reck-

that time may best be realized from
the fact that it belt;l riotous mass meet-
lugs to protest against the “robbery. "

not until several heads had been broken
by the swords of the military that
those which still remained intact cooled
sufficiently to appreciate the fact that
the change was inevitable, and not
comely the outcome of a government
