THE .HIRKETS.

Wall street was full of rumors yesterday morn

feet the market. One was that one of the ma
ionll banks was in trouble; another scare was

lated till il touched most ali the fractions and
fually closed at 1922 with a net loss Of "a. The

4FETTLE REEORM

It never rains but it pours. And when
reforms come they appear in epidemic form.
The Minnesota legislature is no exception, IS
was illustrated by the movement inaugurated
in that body yesterday against the skating
rink. The proposition to make 4 skating
rink establishment pay a license has some
commendable features, for II is 10 all intent
and purpose a place OF public amusement.
II the circus, the theater OF the dime mu-
scum is a proper subject for license tax SO
is the skating rink. That far is all right.
but there Is another feature OF the PROPOSE
ton that Is startling and revolutionary in
character; It is that provision which inhibits
co-skating Of the sexes. Whist Is the world

A BROOKLYS SENS4TTON,

Brooklyn is an ambitious city. She is not
satisfied with her BEECHER and her TALMAGE
and her great bridge, but she is now en-
deavoring to eclipse Chicago in divorce SEN
sations. Judging from the pie exhibited
at a recent term of a Brooklyn court the
aspiration of the city in this line is likely to
reach pretty high ground in its ascent Mr.
GEORGE F. CoDD of Brooklyn is literary
gentleman. Brooklyn is full of literary
people, but Mr.. CoDD is a regular LII. D.,
and ranks well up in scholastic attainments,
About six months ago Mr.. CoDD was married,
a great mistake for any literary person to
make, but Mr.. Cops greatest mistake in
this particular was marrying a literary
woman. Mrs. CoDD was one Of those
ssthetically cultivated ladies who can never
find congeniality in an ordinary mortal, and
when she married the distinguished journal
list Ii. d. CoDD, she imagined she had found
her Level, for her scholastic husband claimed 10
be lineal descendant of one of the kings of
Ireland In the halcyon days Of the honeymoon
CODD was fond Of telling his wife that his
father aud grandfather were in the habit of
cumming with all the dukes of BURKE's
peerage. He wore pin ON his
breast which he called the CoDD family
crest. He told his bride that it was an heir
loom and was worth $50, 900. Three happy
months rolled by and the honeymoon was at
an end. The scene changed. The kindly
beaming eye of Mr.. CoDD grew cold and
strange. And then Mr.. CODD had a bad
temper for prince of a royal house and his
wife's apple pies did not have the culture to
suit his literary appetite. His cruel wrath
knew no restraint and in less time than it
takes TO tell it he was trying to carve Mrs.
CoDD with Ratchet and threatened TO burn
the house over her head. She now appears
10 court asking a dissolution of the bonds.
She says she took advantage Of Cops abb
sence from home one day aud took his
$50, 900 pin to a reliable ieweler, when she
ascertained that it was not worth fifty cents.
So she now places no reliance in the ROYAL
descent story. CoDD files his answer to the
divorce bill aud sets up IN defense that his
wife was in the habit of flirting lie saw her
once try to flirt with the "fat'' boy in BAR
NUNS museum. She was also in the habit
OF pulling Cops whiskers aud once at
tempted to cut him with a carving knife.
Other witnesses testified 10 decidedly mixed
state of affairs. The court was muddled and
wisely reserved its decision. In the mean
time Mr.. and Mrs. CoDD do not speak as
they pass by.

THE gallantry of the Ramsey county dele
CATION was recognized in a fitting manner
By the legislature, on yesterday, promptly re-
ferring the anti-co-skating sex bill to them.
As Minneapolis has five skating Kinks to St.
Paurs one. it would have been natural to
have expected the bill to go to the Hennepin
county delegation. But the Legislature knows
a thing or two, and the Hennepin delegation
was passed by and the proposition dropped
right into the lap of Ramsey county. 1. is
conclusive, however, that Ramsey's dele
gates have never INDUCED in the pleasures
Of the rink and know nothing of the gentle
pressure and the thrilling touch incidental
to skating carnival, or the bill would not
have received such prompt recommends

THE decision recently given by the United
States supreme court in the CLAwsoS case
settles one point in the auti-polygamy law.
When Mormon is convicted Of polygamy
and sentenced to prison the trial Judge may
refuse TO release hin on bail pending an ap-
peal from the sentence Once in prison he
can be held there until he serves out his
term or his conviction is set aside. This
nav be good Law. but it does not seemingly
comport with the usual practice Of civilized
communities. In all but capital cases bail is
invariably allowed in this country Nor

polygamy should be stamped out, but we fail

WHAT THEY SAID,

Ho,c an order far Drinks Was DeIircred.
From the Merchant Traveller.
Charlie jackson was a young man Of bibu-
lous habits, and was always saving his own
pocketbook at the expense Of others. Not
long ago he met the gang at a saloon, and
with great elation told them that he was on
to new racket and would show them how it
worked. He gave them some instructions
and waited until new arrival appeared.
81 say,'' said Charlie, coming at once to
the point. 'we've had little discussion here
and want your advice"
''Well, what is itl'' inquired the new man.
p 'We were arguing that more men said,
will you have somethingH than What will
you take!' Now, for instance, what do you
sayr'
"oh, say, win you have some
thingr-
"Of course we will," shouted the gang,
and before the man could recover they rushed
him TO the counter and be paid for the
drinks.
It was voted great invention and they
got ready for the next victim. He came In
in few minutes and Charlie caught him a.

coz CATCHER CAUGHT.

The West is big country and no mistake
about it. As an illustration of on what an
immense scale the live stock business is
conducted the GLOBE publishes this
MORNING an account of one cattle
dealer in Dakota having two car loads
loads of cattle stolen from his ranch and 1t
was some time before it was detected. The
magnitude of this robbery will strike the
Eastern stOckmen as too marvellous for be-
lief. Yet it is not an infrequent occurrence
ON the Western plains to have enough cattle
stolen from herd at one time to stock 4
Pennsylvania grazier's farm, yet they are not
missed by the ranchman. In another respect
this COW story illustrates the superior enter
prise of the West over the East. In the cat
tie region of Pennsylvania, Maryland or Vir-
ginia, if thief had gone into herd for the
purpose of stealing beef he would not have
dared to take anything larger than calf,
and even then would have buried the bones
and burned the hide for fear of
detection. Yet our bold Western robber
will drive off enough big cattle to fill two
large stock cars, and in broad daylight will
ship them into the Chicago stock yards,
butcher them, sell the meat, and then ship the
hides to an Eastern tanner, buy the leather
back, and trade it to the rightful owner of
the cattle for a Texas bull. There is no en-
terprise comparable to that of the great West.
In the East cattle thief would be arrested,
put in Jail year or two, then go through a
long tedious tria of several weeks, piling up
costs to the state, ndfinally the jury returns
a verdict of insanity or mistaken identity,
and the poor wretch goes free, doomed to live
long miserable life. In the West when
the cattle robber is caught the boys gather to
he nearest bar-room, have good social
night of it with the prisoner and in the
morning go off, leaving him dangling from
the limb of tree, the hero of the day. No
cost to the public, no delay in the admins
tration of justice, and no cruelty to the poor
creature who has been overtaken in his
crime. The Eastern folks may be opposed
to the coinage of silver and all that, but they
have good deal to learn yet from our wild
Western WAYS
