Quite a number of our most
substantial farmers have been in
and subscribed this week and
given assurance of their support
in the fight against us in this
city.
There is no question about
what the people of this city will
d in e .* * r 'position,
if the council will just give them
a chance to express themselves.
Haskell is explaining through
the democratic papers why he
had Hearst’s agent arrested for
collecting evidence for that $600,-
000 libel suit. Will that man
never quit joking the people of
this state.
The ordinance committee are
ready to report a franchise to the
council Monday night which is
believed to amply protect the in-
terests of the people and insure
an excellent telephone exchange.
The new depot we are to have
will possibly not materialize in
the very near future. It seems
that the company is only figuring
on cutting the old one in two
and moving one half back on the
side tracks for a freight house.
Peppery Reply.
The Rev. Amos Fletcher wee a keen
end accomplished naturalist. His spe
cialty was a quite remarkable know!
edge of different classes of fungi.
His enthusiasm, however, was but
indifferently appreciated by certain
members of his ‘parish, and one day
v/hen calling upon one of them, old
Miss Locke, he was considerably em-
barrassed when rve reminded him of
the exact length of time that had
elapsed since he paid her a visit.
He be gan to make excuse for the
delay when 3he cut him short ,
"If I was a toadstool,” she said with
a grim irony, “you’d have been to see
me long ago."—Youth’s Companion.
All the "Foote” 8he Had.
One morning a little girl, who lived
In South Boston, was endeavoring to
put a right shoe on her left foot,
and vice versa. Her father, who was
much Interested in watching her
fruitless trial, exclaimed: “Why,
Millie, you are putting your shoes on
the wrong feet."
“That's al) the foota I dot, papa,'
replied the child.

The sun proves to be undergoing
continual change of shape. From
measurements at Gottlugen during 13
years. Dr. C. L. Poor finds that the
ratio between the polar and equatorial
radii has varied considerably, and that
the variation takes place in a period
closely corresponding to that of the
yun spots—New York Tribunal

WOMEN IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Wall Street Broker* Have private
Room* for Fair Patron*.
The number of women apecuiators
la amazingly large—much larger than
even the ordinary Wall atreet habitue
would imagine. It is not cemmonly
known, but It la a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-
trances. There are several reasons
for thla. One Is that many women
who speculate do ao secretly, without
the knowledge of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this ao
Tount they desire privacy, desire to
move and have their Wall atreet be-
ing unknown. Another reason is that
the broker himself desires It, princi-
pally, be It confessed, because he la
anxious that If there be any “scenes”
they shall be private onea, “far Irom
the maddening crowd’s Ignoble strife"
—and sight. For truth compels the
statement that women are poorer los-
ers than men. It la the tesUmony of
conservative broken that a woman
gambler la much more of a gambler
than a man—much more; that la, In
absorbing tenaciousness and almost
vindictiveness. She seems to be cai*
ried out of and beyond herself to a d»
gree tlfat becomes uncomfortably dia-
quletlng when she loses. Even when
she la a winner, and, aa I have said,
the proportion of winners to losers
among women la about one to twenty,
there seems to be in her satisfaction i
a kind of maliciousness that la not
good to see.—World To-Day.

ANYTHING FOR “SIN WALTER.”
Instance ef the Popularity of Great
Scottish Author.
There Is testimony to Sir Walter
Icott's popularity with all classes in
the "Burford Papers,” a chronicle of
former days and dolaga in England
and Scotland.
In 1831 Soott was invited to a break-
fast at an Edinburgh house. He was
so pleased with the Yarmouth bloat-
ers that were served piping hot,
that one of the feminine guests went
to the market the next day to order
SQme for him. to be gent to Sussex
World's Poisonous Snakes.
The most dangerous snake is ths
African tna nba, the most specialized,
the most deadly and one of the largest
of the cobras It flies at everybodv
and everything; it goes out of its
nay to quarrel; It will even come
down from a tree to solicit an In-
terview. Over In India there is the
great king cobra, or hamadryad, a
size larger, quite as fierce—It has
been known to chase a ir.au on horse-
back; be had to ride for his life—
but Its poison is a degree less vir-
ulent. The difference, however, may
be considered negligible and cesses ,
to Interest the patient after a few
minutes. Among the Austrian cob- I
rus, the pit vipers of America and the |
great West African vipers the-e are :
species with evil reputations, and the
most alarming feature is that the
aggressive snakes are all desperately
poisonous.

Gov. Higgins of New York, during

a story of a quick-witted Scot.
"I don't at all approve of this Scot.”
he began, "but I thlak he had a ready
wit.
"His minister took him to task on*
day because he never came to church,
golfing instead all mmnir and curling
all winter long.
“ 'Man, man,' the minister ended, 'If
