Reaten ut his Own Game.

One of the lumber dealers of this
| State has for the past three years been
supplying dealer in Al any. For the
first year everything went well, but at
| length the Albany man began to COM
pl lin. He fourd shortage and culls in
every car-lr,d sent him, and demanded
discounts therefore, and this Spring it
W Is Impossible to please him. No mat
ter how carefully lumber and shingles
were culled and billed here, he was
sure to write back that they were not
up to the standlnd. Two weeks ago
carload of "star" shingles was sent TO
him. The "star'' shingles beat any
thing in the country, and they know it
in Albany as we'll as ir Michigan, but
rs soon as the car arrived the dealer re-
piled that he really must protest. The
shingles were hardly "clear butts" and
he could not unload the car untilassured
of Il di count of twenty-five cents per
thousand.
The Michigander hid suffered long,
but the end was nigh. He had in
spected every bunch of shingles on that
car, and he ide up his mind to go to
The dealer there had never seen HIM
and the Wolverine walked into his

extra fine shingles.

The Wolverine quietly pulled out his
business card and laid it on the desk.
The dealer took it up, read the name
and sat down on stool with Il quee,
feeling in his knees.
There was an awful silence as they
glared at each other, and it Was full

Poodle Dogs and their Guardians

Every human being has some mission
to fulfill and none should despise the
gifts of the Creator, however meagerly
bestowed. Every woman cannot be-
George Eliot a Charlotte Bronti or a
Florence Nightingale. There has been
much unkind comment bestowed upon
the poor creature who cares :or the
NANCY, bad smelling, flea garrisoned
poodle dog. Now, in all the great
economy of nature this woman has her
sphere of usefulness. But for her these
little fste dogs would be running
about in everybody's way, spreading
their feas and dirt and odorizing the
atmosphere with their putrid breaths.
Let US therefore thank the woman who
would take these burdens upon herself
that others may be exempt from the
contact with the modern society poodle.
Bless her dear heart, say We, and may
there De oHe ouCH "oInah uoIH iT
every poodle that comes into the world
but if We may be allowed to suggest
mo more. In this respect nature seems
to have managed to preserve the grand
law Of equilibrium, for VINO ever saw a
poodle going about unattached to its
affinity or, vino ever saw a woman who
wanted poodle dog who did not find
that kindly providence had made
provision for her wants. Were thess
women to be thinned out the nulner-
business of the poodle would assert itself,
while as things now are the dogs in
question are all provided for. ........

Men charge that women are daily be-
coming more unreasonable, says the
Austin ReueiNe. The other day lady
went into a drug store in Eureka and
ordered % cents worth of paregoric.
She was waited on by the drn ggist's
apprentice, who gave her morphine in
stead. The result was that the females
baby was killed deader than Julius
Cesar. Now. the quantity of NOR
phine handed to the customer was worth
q clear dollar at wholesale rates, and
instead Of saying nothing, and thereby
getting ninety cents ahead of the drug
gist, this absurd parent is making a
devil of a row over the circumstance
A woman like that probably wouldn't
have been satisfied If the apothecary
had thrown in a cake OF Brown Wind
sor and . stiff tooth brush. -

SPIRITUALlSTIC.
Mrs. Meyers Seances at the Ellsworth
House.

For the past two weeks, Mrs. Meyer
a physical medium, has been giving
seances at the Ellsworth House. Or
Friday evening representative of the
APPEAL was invited to be present and
give an account of what he saw. AT
O'Clock a circle was formed of eighteen
persons. The light was allowed to burn
and there was a commemorate absence
of the customary routine Of cabinets,
curtains, darkness, musical instru-
ments, etc. When the crowd learned
that the spirit hands would not elongate
an acordeOn or tamper with guitar
there was a general feeling of salts
faction. The seance was opened with
prayer, after which the medium sank
into trance and for couple of hours
spirit which claimed to have been
born in Aberdeen, Scotland, some hun
dred years ago talked with those pres
ent. After this spirits of all descrip-
tions came up and were described by
the medium. Some of these descrip-
tions were not recognized by any pres
ent, but the majority were surprisingly
accurate and acknowledged as such
even by the skeptical. The personal
and mental characteristics of many old
Carson citizens were infinitely set forth
Those who were present were allowed
to write the names of numbers of per-
sons on slips of paper and roll them up
into pellets. The medium Was able to
select Immediately the name of any
person which the writer called for men,
tally, after which the medium described
the person named. The medium failed
only in one instance on this test. There
was no attempt at materiaIizatian, slate
writing or vitalizing of articles OF fur
niture. Those who attended the
seance expressed themselves as per-
fecty satisfied. The writer has endeav-
bred as near as possible to tell what Oc-
without comment. Believers in |
;piritualism resent any unkind criti-
ism upon their religion and feel that
heir faith is entitled to the same respect |
hat is due to any other belief. No
newspaper description of a seince will |
convince a skeptic. Those who wish |
o investigate the matter further had
,etter set and judge for themselves.

LABOR STRIKE.
Georgetown Coopcrs Protest Against
Reduction of PAY.


About fifty hard journeymen
coopcrs met at Quackenbush's hall, in
Georgetown, this morning. for tho purpose
of protesting against u reduction of pay.
Mr.. John Webb was called to the chair, with
Frank Webb as secretary. Most of these
men were, until this morning, in the en-
ploy of Jarboe & Reynolds, but when they
went to work to-day they were told that
their pay would be reduced from twelve
cents per barrel to ten cents. These terms
they refused to accede to, and Immediately
all hands quit work and repaired to tho
hall, where they formed resolutions re-
fusing to yield to the terms of the bosses
They allegc that Jarboe & Reynolds ac-
copied the contract from the millers this
year to make barrels at such.a low rate that
they cannot possibly make much money,
and hence the reduction in their pay.
Last winter similar strike was engaged
in by the coopcrs, and the millcrs rather
than have their business suffer, agreed to
pay out of their own pockets the additional
two cents which the bosses positively re-
fused to pay. Several speeches were made
of respectful but determined character,
tho men holding that they cannot make
more than five to seven dollars week at
the rate proposed by the bosses. 1t is said
that if the bosses do not yield to the de-
mands of their employees that the strike
will be of long duration.
