4 dullness in the local stmospheTe, -
we'll a. In the exchanges with when
xncious providence weighs down the
editorial table at irregular Intervals.
They come like the spirits black ana
gray, and mingle, mingle, In discord"
ant way. Let us examine them:
The first is from coast town IN
Alaska, and it states that one OF the
dazzling and bewitching ladies' Of Alas
ka Is Mile Slirtoff: She has q COUSIN
in the Russian army named BlOwniano-
soft. This, Of course, Is important II
true but il not If any immediate or VI
tal interest. Different is tile il.iOrma-
ton that Flo. ida man has written the
Receiver OF the Buzen,an land office
that he would like to exchange s., W0
WORTH OF Florida land for Montana
rrist mill. The Florida man Is evil
IDENTIFY an idiot, bat it is encoaras ing 10
think that there are such people IN tue
world. Perhaps he would like to ex.
change Il Florida orange plantation fora
; Montana blizzard or something Of that
sort. Ii 50 he can be accommodated.
! Next comes AN exchange from the line
of the l.. L. road, which bewails with
hyslcrical frequency the woes "t the
officials OF that read. This time 1t Is u
conductor who is i'll trouble. We are
informed that lie was IL plcasant-faceG
u.an and that he entered the car ANA
said 'Vick.l picaSr.' Some OF the
passeI-ers produce! theirs hurrietl)y,
white others went on with their CONVEX
sations, regardless %; the polite notice
given. But the most delay vas occ:l-
stoned by u pretty lady who held Il
child in her arms. She could not tlnd
her ticket, and finally remembered she
had slipped it int" her stocking. With
her child in her arms she could not sci
it. Now, provoking a. it was, she
cool,y requested the conductor to unite
l,e3 stocking and get the ticket! The
Door man deserves the sympathy Of ali
unlimited number Of weeping youn::.
men, any one of whom would have
changed places will, him.
Skipping will! electric rapidity from
the Rocky Mountains to the
sun bati,ed orange gardens of the
Pacific Coast, the next exchange
points moral and adorns q tale with
the inforn,aticni,h that ::last week. ut Los
An. cl&s, Il married woman cloped with
her c.n,chnian, in consequence Of which
her husband shot himself. The next
day his daughter, who wis also III love
with the coacl,ll:an, went insane; while
the servant girl, who was in turn gone
on the dc!i,lct Ia ,i,anti, tried to drown
herself three times But the ctHlcllnlan' =
wife, who knew him better than any
ore else, kept open house all day ant
willingly received the congratulations ("
her friends. The moral is 10 preserve al
even mind under the most adverse cir
cunlstal,ccs, an,lalways emulate the COO
resignation of the coachlllan's wife.
