Why this man
bought a
Remington
Junior
‘Typewriter
"I have been investigating several of the
recent makes of machines, seeking for one of
simple construction for ordinary manuscript
and letter writing. I was nearly ready to buy
a machine of another make when I just hap
pened to see for the first time the Remington
Junior, and found it to be the very thing I wanted;
and that Was a typewriter built simpler and
r.ot incumbered with fixtures not needed for
writing ordinary manuscript or letters.”
The man who wrote this is the post
master of a small Southern town. He is
only one of thousands who have recently
bought a Remington junior. But his
reasons apply to everybody—they apply
to YOU.
Tht* Remington Junior is our latest
product and the latest idea in typewriting.
n is strictly a high-grade machine.
It has the Remington Name, the Rem
ington Guarantee, the Remington Quality
—everything Remington except weight
and bulk.
“A Simplified Remington” describes
it exactly.
And its price is
$50.00

In the vicinity of Aina native Samoan
house and kitchen utensils have been
replaced by European articles of less
worth. New foods are being Intro
duced. Instead of taro, bananas and
yams, the natives now eat rice, bis
cuits and bread and even drink coffee
In the morning. The new foods, how
ever. have but a limited number of
consumers at present.
The native huts were formerly cov
ered with thatches of sugar cane. In
sects have destroyed the sugar cane
plantations, and the natives now cover
their dwellings with corrugated Iron,
which gives them much less protection
both against the sun during the day
and against thr cold at night. The
Samoan house is disappearing, too. and
Its place Is being taken by square
buildings of American pine.
The total native population of the
Samoan group is about 42.000. There
are 1,500 whites and half castes.—New
York Times.
TOOK THE ADVICE.
Then He Gave It a Practical Trial, and
It Worked.
Several years ago the president of
one of the prominent railway corpora
tions in America was making a stir
ring address to an audience of young
men and dwelt with particular empha
sis on the necessity of making a good
appearance.
"When you are looking for work." he
said, “be careful that you ore present
able. If you have only $24 iu the
world spend $20 for a suit of clothes.
$3.50 for a pair of shoes, 50 cents for n
hair cut and shave. Then walk up to
the job wherever it is and ask for it
like a man."
This advice was greeted with great
applause, and the railttfay president
sat down amid a storm of cheers. The
very next morning a dapper looking
young fellow walked into the outer of
tice of the orator and. handing u note
to the clerk, said. "Please give this to
the president” The note read as fol
lows:
•T have paid $20 for this suit of
clothes. $3.50 for a pair of shoes and
50 cents for a hair cut and a shave. 1
have walked from Harlem, and 1 would
like a job as conductor on your road."
He got the job.
Ths Presidential Salute.
One explanation for tbe reason tor
adopting twenty-one guns as tbe presi
dential salute is tbat there might be
maintained a uniformity in national
salutes. Great Britain baring In tbe
distant past adopted twenty-one as the
number for the royal salute. Of the
many surmises as to why tbe number
twenty-one was settled upon we men
tion two—first, tbat twenty-one was
tbe number of years fixed by English
law as the age of majority; second,
tbat seven was tbe original salute
and three times seven would signify
one seven for each of the divisions.
England and Wales. Scotland and Ire
land. It Is asserted tbat the United
States adopted this salute to signify
to the mother counry that her child
had reached bis majority and wns pre
pared In law to inherit the land and to
this end fired the "gun of 1776.*’ the
figures of which year. 1 +7+7+0. equal

Goose and Michaelmas.
The English custom of eating goose
on Michaelmas. Sept. 2D. is said to
date from the time of the great Queen
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth bad gone to call on Sir
Neville Umfreyville. A messenger from
the royal palace arrived and asked to
see her. The queen allowed him to
come into the dining room, where she
was enjoying a slice of tender goose.
The queen bad just bltteu into a deli
cious morsel when the messenger an
nounced that the Spanish armada bad
been defeated, it happened to be Sept
29. Michaelmas, so future generations
of English celebrate by eating giiose.
although the custom is much older and
extends to other countries.—l-ondon

The Grumpy Bachelor.
A wealthy gentleman who owns a
country seat on one occasion nearly
lost his wife, who fell Into a river
which flows through his estate. He
announced the narrow escape to bis
friends, expecting their congratula

One of them, an old bachelor, wrote
as follows: “I always told you that
