"There are some mighty green men
in this world" said the passenger from
the West, land I struck one of 'em .
week or two ago. If I hadn't I
wouldn't be here now. Last spring I
went out in Western Nebraska and
homestcaded a quarter section. I hadn't
seen the land. but took it supposin' it
vas all right. But when I got there
1 found it already inhabited. About
one hundred and fifty acres Of the
n hundred and sixty were covered
with Il prairie-dog town. Well, I con-
cluded to settle down and see what I
could do, and I'm mighty glad now
that I did. About two weeks ago /:
was up to the railroad station trying to
get trusted for some bacon and flour.
and terbacker, an feelin' right smart,
discouraged. I was out of money and
grub, and the winter was comm on
fast, an I couldn't see anyway out of it
but to eat prairie dogs, and they're
mighty hard to catch. But that day
was the turning point in my luck.
While l was at the station an English
man got off the cars, an said as how
he was out West lookin' for q place to
make an investment. Said he'd heard
; the fur business, an wanted to
know if he wa out in the fur country
yet.
"'Furs,' says /, there hain't not
an just then an idea struck me, an I
changed my tune. .Furs,' says I, there
amt no better fur country than this on

"And he vent out with me, an Z
showed him the prairie-dog town, an,

sunny day, an the dogs We're out scoot-
in around by the hundreds.
"'Talkin' about furs,' says I, what
dye think of that? I've been six years
gtowin' those mink, an hain't sold
hide. It's all natural grease. Guess
they's bout seven thousand of 'em now,
an they double every year. How many
will there be in ten years?'
"You oughter seen that Englishman's
eyes open as he took out his pencil an
figured it up. He made it 7,168, 900
mink.
"'Well,' says l, 'call it 5000, 900 to be
on the safe side. 1t won't cost q dollar
to keep 'em, either, an if they're worth
a cent they're worth a dollar apiece.
There's millions in it.
"Then we got right down to business,
an in less than an hour ! had sold out
for seven Thousand dollars cash, an the
next day I paid three hundred and fifty
dollars for the homestead at the Land
Office, got my patent and transferred it
to him and took the first train. for tho

SIRENS OF
Where the Weaker Sex is Winning Its Way
Grandly.

The man who contributes to q charity
or buys a bill of goods from q drummer
has a vague notion that he has done a
service for the solicitor. But the female
| canvasser lever permits him to harbor
any such idea about her. He is given
to understand that lie has done only
what he should have done long ago, and
it was highly improper for him to wait
till she reminded him Of it. That is the
reason every one feels himself humble
and abashed when a female
booms up in the horizon and feels
humber and more abashed when she
leaves.
There are two kinds of. female can
vasscrs-the old and the young varieties.
Their methods are Numerically OPP
posite. The one says everything she
can; the other as little as she can. The
former is a born cxhorter, and was cre-
ated for the purpose of running a
scheme for absorbing the ears of a
congregation. But as she found all
the departments in those branches
of industry filled up she took to
~canvassing to keep i'll practice. She can
get in more vocal work in given space
than any male agitator of the organ of
speech extant. The young variety of
anvasser does not run the campaign
that way. Her strong points II her
eyes. Once her tongue has set forth her
business it s,lspends and her eyes begin
to issue dividends. Thereafter all oper-
ations are carried on from that quarter.
She finds this the most effective way. A
whole park of artillery would not hold
it's own as an instrument of destruction
against the eyes of a well-organized can
vasser. If she is coldly received she
throws q little warmth and feeling into
her glances. II she is rcbutfed the eyes
fill. If she is turned away she sutluses
them with a look of pleading that would
reduce adamant at a hundred PAGES.
She begs with them, prays with them,
urges with them and exhorts with them,
and as there is no force known to
science that will overcome this mute
insistence, humanity has to yield and the
reluctant purse stringe have to loosen

Arrangements for Mr.. Gladstone's speech
To day"

LONDON, April THE various whips
have arranged with the members of their
parties Tor the postponement until Friday
| OF all questions which were to have been
brought up in the House OF Commons to.
morrow, except those of the most pressing
Importance. In thus curtailing the busi-
ness of the House Mr.. Gladstone will be en-.
abled to begin his speech in explanation OF
his Irish Home Rule scheme at about 4:3O
p. m. The usual body of policemen sta
toned about will be strongly reinforced to
suppress any demonstration that may be
attempted outside of the buildings. The
Irishmen living in London have been re.
quested to assemble tomorrow to cheer
Mr.. Gladstone as he enters Parliament. A
similar Liberal manifestation is expected.
Urgent whips have been issued requesting
the presence OF all members in the House of
Commons tomorrow and on Friday. The
House will be opened at 6 q. m. tomorrow
to enable the members to secure seats.
The opening of the House at so early an
hour is

on physical endurance and handicaps in
valid members. The Parnells, at meet.
ing to-day, decided to enter the House at
the earliest possible hour in order to secure
seats. The Scotch members OF the House
of Commons held meeting this afternoon
to recsive q deputation of Presbyterians
from Ulster, who came to enter their pro-
test on granting Home Rule to Ire
land. Sir Donald Currie, Liberal member for
West Perthshire, presided over the meeting.
The Moderator Of the General Assembly Of
the Presbyterian Church in Ireland who
led the deputation explained the reasons
for the visit. He said the Presby yterians of
Ulster were in deep anxiety lest Parliament
should adopt legislation which would place
the Protestant minority in Ireland at a
great disadvantage by handing over the
control OF the affairs Of the country to
party distinctively anti-P Protestant. The
deputation spoke in the kindliest terms of
their Catholic brethren in Ireland but said
they feared that the good relations would
be disturbed under a new order of things
which it was understood the leaders of the
Government intended to inaugurate.
