THE WOMAN DID Ir.
Josanin Millsr's Way of Acco.nting for
Financial Disasters.

lssasters.
Joaquin Miller has not very savory
reputation for kindness to the female
persuasion, especially so much of 1t as
his own wife represented and hence it
is not strange that we find meanness
mingled with sense i'm the following ex-
tract of letter of his to the Chicago
Times:
Crack Crash! Smash! Above and
over all the noise and rumble of the
Presidential car and thunder of conven-
tions is heard the crash and tumult and
dismay of tumbling banks. Stop right
here, stick a pin and think bit. What
is the matter? Who has done this?
Who will save us? Will Republican
President save us2 Will Democratic
President stop all this? Nonsense. The
papers will tell you go, if committed to
this party or that. The politicians, red
meuthed and loud as cannon, will thun-
der it out from now until November,
but no party, no President, no man at all,
can stop this crash and universal calami-
ty which is breaking up so many homes,
breaking so many hearts, crushing out
all confidence of man in man. Who then
can help us? Woman. And who then
has brought us to this beggary? Woman.
The old story. Of Paradise, "1he woman
tempted me and | did eat" Adam was
an honest, well-meaning man, think, q
good neighbor, and was content with
what he had, worked on in his garden
and tried to lay up something. A brown
stone front, three-story frame house, a
season at Saratoga-he did not care for
them, | know. 1t was the woman who
wanted to live beyond her means, to
dress up, to lieutenant bred at that
charity school on the Hudson, and to
speculate.
We are in the garden Of paradise over
here on this side of the Atlantic. How
happy we ought to be. But we are all
very miserable. We are tempted of the
devi'. And that lazy woman, who ought
to have been at WORK in the garden, still
goes gadding about and getting us into
trouble with her extravagant and med
dlesome notions as of old. There has
been disposition of late years to call cit
izen Adam bad names for putting the
Dldule Ol all the DOtneI on MrS. AudUl.
l take the responsibility of fsaying that he
was quite right. Adam would have
been quite content to live on in his leg
cabin. wear his last years clothes, and
let his feet cleave solid and safe to the
honest earth that he grew from if only
his wife had not gone into speculation
and got that new dress.
Oh, woman, woman! Don't talk so
much about your rights. but think some
thing more Of your duties. Man is 80
weak, 80 worthless. without your smiles,
your approval, and your indorsement to
all his deeds and notes of premise. And
if he sees, or even suspects, that you
don't admire hiT for his patient toll and
long waiting for honest rewards, he will
not have the heart or the will to persist
in it. If he sees thatsyou value diamonds
above the honest sweat Of his brow, he
will drop his work and go and get you
diamonds if he has to go through burn
ing hell to get them. Man will throw
away honor, truth integrity, all that is
good and glorious to have, and bring
you baubles if baubles you prefer.

A Kentuckian Who Never Treated.
Louisville Times.

Baxter is the only politician 1 ever
knew who was never known to treat"
said gentleman the other day. "He
didn't believe in squandering his money
that way. 1 got even with bim once.
Baxter one day drove up to the Gait
house to meet Governor Blackburn and
some other distinguished gentlemen.
When we got there Baxter gave 81 and
told me to get our cigars. l went in and
bought four for the dollar. He handed
them around, and after awhile we drove
away. For long time John kept twirl-
ing his cigar and waiting for me to say
something about the change. At last
he grew impatient and said: How
much did this cigar costT Il got four
for the dollar. You don't think would
offer the governor ofKentucky anything
less than a 25 cent cigar, answered with
an injured look. The governor oe id
grunted Baxter. He is no better than
me, and scent cigar suit me. Don't
be so free with my money the next time.

Legal Note.

A young man of fabout eighteen years
of age had occasion to shoot friend
with whom he had personal difficulty.
He was arrested and brought to Austin
for trial. As he had no money to hire a
lawyer, the court appointed member of
the Austin bar to defend him. AS the
jury was being selected, the lawyer ask
ed his client if he knew of any cause
why any of them should be challenged.
"Not yet" was the whispered reply /;
but if they find me guilty, I've got a
brother who will challenge the last one
of them. You can challenge the judge
if you want to, but want to attend 10
the sheriff myself"

FISHING WITH ELECTRICITY.
A Dazzling Light Under Water Used to
Lure Fish to the Hooks and Nets.

A Dazzling Lignt On0er water Used to
Lure Fish TO the Hooks and Nets.
MY. Sun.
I've Just been experimenting with cleo
tricity as bait," said gen nan inter
ested in fishing and fish culture. "How
did it work? Well, we caught fish, but l
am afraid its teo expensive. My method
was to have an electric light attached
lust above the baited hook, and 50 attract
the fish; but the people who fished with
out the light caught as many as | did.
"It was curious sight, however. The
light illuminated the water around the
halt. so that YOU could see the fish APP
proaching it. But there is the point
that people who get up these things aIe
apt 20 forget, namely that light under
water is not so much of a novelty as you
would naturally suppose. You see, all
the Jelly fishos are luminous, and throw
out beams Of light almost equal to any
t.iing we can get up; 80 the electric light
does not surprise the fish very much, af-
ter all. / have noticed, too, that they
soon get used to it. That can be seen in
Fulton Market, where Blackford has an
electric light in the water, and the fishes
do not notice it at all
"Since the perfection Of the electric
light, ithas'been adapted to almost every
| thing; but probably in water it will prove
more useful to divers than anybopy else
| Several nets have been invented with
electric lights 50 arranged as to attract
the fish into the meshes"

Jersey hills he gazes upon the setting
sun as it sinks far away in the direction
of his early scenes of toll and glory.
Turning his eye seaward he econtemplates
the far distant shores of foreign lands
where the men of royalty and science
have joined in paying tribute to his ee
MUS, and from whose shores are daily
hurrying the many ships with their liv
ing. freight destined to populate far-off
regions in the West where .he first of all
cleared the way for their coming.

charge of the paragraph department of
a college magazine, "Falstaff was very
fat man, wasn't he?"
"Yes."
"He was what you might call corpu-

Eyes, he was corpulent."
"Corpulence sounds big, but it can be
spelled with four letters, can't it?"

How Methods have Changed.

Philadelphia Times.
The first seven presidents of the Unit
ed States, covering a period of forty
years in the history of the country, were
elected without the Intervention of eth
er state or national convention. The
system, or rather the lack of system,
which could bring Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy
Adams and Jackson to the front cannot
be called wholly bad in spite of the fact
that conventions have now become no
less important than the popular elections
for which, in theory, they are only a
preliminary preparation.
Washington became candidate by
universal consent and demand On his
tirst election he had every electoral vote
but four and at his second all but three,
these exceptions representing blank bal
lots in both cases. At the first election
votes we've cast for eleven other men,
the one receiving the highest number
becoming vice-president, under the sys-
tenn in vogue until 1904 John Adams,
by two terms of service in this office, was
supposed to have a natural claim on the
first place, and became the candidate of
the Federal party, which had sprung
into life as the dominant wing during
Washington's eight years of service. He
was therefore elected president in 1736,
having II votes, or one more than a ma
jority, to cast 68 for Thomas jefferson,
who became vice-president. Again IL
other candidates received votes in the
electoral college, varying from l to 50
each. Among these were Thomas Pink
ney, Aaron Burr, Samuel Adams, Oliver
Ellsworth, George Clinton and John Jaw
thus showing that there was no lack of
talent in the candidates or aspirants.

LITTLE LOWERS.

With little care,
A little pair
Of lovers fond and true:
A little skiff
A little Whit
To blow them o'er the blue.
A little way
Out on the bay,
A little 'fraid they feel:
A little squall-
A little bawl-
The girl clings % the keel.
A little yelp,
A little help
Soon lands them wet and cool;
A little spat,
The little cat
Calls him a little fool.

Tackled the Wrong Girl.
Bardstown (Ky.) Record.

One day last week a young man, who
resides in the country, invited a'young
lady of Bardstown to take buggy ride
with him. When several miles from
town he attempted to kiss her, and she
resented by slapping him on the side of
the face. The blow knocked off his hat,
and it fell to the ground When he
alighted to get it, she whipped up the
horse and drove home without him. He
sneaked through the woods to town, and
about II O'Clock that night recovered his
horse. He tried to kiss the wrong girl.

A Bad Gut.

On last Sunday n messenger arrived
from Forols ranch, known as the y a,
to SUMMON a physician to attend Jack
Birge, foreman of the outfit, who had
that morning cut his foot with an AK,
severing the large bone. Doc Flick WAS
called by telephone and left Rapid at 3
O'Clock arriving here, 45 miles, at Z IN
the evening. Securing Il change O.
horses here he immediatel, set out for
the Y A ranch and reached his dcstina-
ton the next forenoon having travelled
about l2j miles and quite n distance UP
the Old Wonlan's forks in less than "A
hours. He then placed his patient in
his wagon and started for Custer, where
he could receive all necessary care, ar
irving here about noon Wednesday.
After securing quarters at the Klee-
"a House and getting his patient as
comfortable rs possible, the Doctor was
congratulating himself on having an OPP
%pogtunity for Il few hours rest, when a
message from Rapid summoned him 10
the bedside Of Mrs. Walker, Of Battle
River, wife Of County Commissioner
Walker. He was equal to the occasion,
however, and left immediately for that
place, expecting to return to Custer

rimrock of the creek from which point
a deposit af wash gravel was found cap
ped with lime stone. As the tunnels
progressed bedrock pitched downward
and ut the time Of his visit the workings
were i'm 80 feet and the bedrock was still
pitching. The pay streak ut that time
was 90 feet wide and ran from 81 to IS
per wagon load. A second tunnel or
same deposit and it is probable that at
some remote time it vas the bed OF the
creek which is now 200 yards away, and
the extent or length of the deposit is not
vet determined. Some half dozen claims
have been taken aud the work Of open.
