HOW THEY WORK 1T.

Women Who Know How to Manager Theh
Husbands with Ease.
They were telling what one another

or their mothers, or their fathers do so

just" and so on, don't you know? II
it isn't that kind of thing, it is what
they're going to do. Woman is a verb
active. They were explaining the
idiOsyncracies of their husbands, and
how they received the household money
and what they did with it. Perhaps
there were reservations of a mental
kind. Women always make mental
reservations when they say any thing.
When woman tells a man she loves
him there's generally a proviso in he1
mind which leaves her free to explain
why she was not to be taken at her
word No logician of the male sex can
split finer hair in an argument than a
plain, innocent, unsophistcated woman.
Her simple distinctions are inscrutable;
but can she stretch the meaning of the
language and make words embrace
every thing she wants TOP
"My husband always gives me my
money once week you know" said
one little blonde woman, with an ex-
preston of guilelessness on her face
that would deceive professional mind

TIMBER THIEVES.

The Montana Land Company Making Dep
rotations Upon Government Timber
Lands.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Commissioner
Sparks has made report to the Secretary
of the Interior upon information received
at the General Land Office that the Montana
Improvement Company is making extensive
depredatiOns upon public timber on unsur-
veyed lands along the Northern Pacific
railroad, under an agreement with the rail-
road company and that private surveys are
being made by the timber company with a
view of claiming that the lands deprecated
upon are old sections belonging to the rail-
road company and not to the United States.
The Commissioner in his report urges a
vigorous prosecution against both COM
panes. He says that the question whether
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company has
a legal right to any lands along such pOr-
tiOns of its road. at least, as were not
definitely located within the time when the
road was required to be cons tructed has not
been settled, but that, if it has such right
generally, it has no right to specific tracts
| until the odd sections have been defined by
| public surveys that such sections can not
be defined by private surveys and that the
private surveys are unlawful. Mr.. Sparks
recommends that the timber company be
| eujOiued from trespasslng upon public
lands to make such surveys and says that
nothing but the most active and severe
measures will put stop to its operations.
! He recommends criminal prosecutions
against all persons connected with
its alleged timber trespasses. In an
other report on the application of this
company to have certain suits discontinued
that have already been commenced the
| Commissioner recommends that instead Of
disseminating the suits they should be
pressed with the utmost vigor, and says
that the public lands in portions of Mon
tana Idaho and Washington Territories are
being rapidly denuded by it Of all their
valuable TIMBER and unless the full force
of the Government is eXerted to pHt an inn
mediate stop to these operations much of
the public timber land in the Territories
will soon be nothing but barren waste,

THRILLING RESCUE.
Fifteen Men Imprisoned in Caisson az
Omaha Rescued by the Bucket Brigade.

Fifteen Men Imprisoned in n Caisson az
Omaha Rescued by the Bucket Brigade.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. ga thrilling acct-
dent, imperiling the lives of fifteen men,
occurred at the new Union Pacific bridge
which is being built to replace the old
structure across the Missouri river at this
point. At ten o'clock yesterday morning
a leak was sprung in the caisson now being
constructed in the middle of the river, and
before it could be caulked it had filed the
shaft up to the surface, thus cutting off the
escape of the fifteen men who were at work
on the bed rock under the bottom of the riV--
er. The news of the horrible situation rap
idly spread and soon thousands assembled on
the levee to await the result Of the efforts
to rescue the imprisoned men. George A.
Ledderlee, chief engineer in charge of the
work, and his assistant, Ralph Modjeska,
son of the actress, fastened to the caiss0n
and at once proceeded to direct affairs.
The pier is mammoth stone structure sixty
feet long and twenty-five feet wide. Its
surface is now five feet above the water and
its base rests on bed rock seventy-three
feet below the top of the river. At eight
O'Clock the first day shift went down through
the shaft into the airlock, and thence to
the working chamber below and began the
work of cleansing and sluShing the rock
preparatory to filling in with concrete. AT
ten O'Clock, when they started TO come to
the surface, some of them found to their
horror that small stream Of water was
tTickling through q pipe, showing that
water was in the shaft above them. To
have opened the door would have let tons
of the flood in upon them, so it was pre-.
sumed at the time that the men returned
| to the chamber Immediately below the lock,
! where they would be safe so long as they
could stand the pressure of the air, which is
absolutely necessary to keep the water from
! the river beneath the caiSSOn and so long as
the wafer from above could be prevented
from forcing the air chamber. Engineer
Ledderee ran an engine with pumps at
tached to the pier and set it TO work pump
ing water from the shaft. After working
an hour it was found that the engine was
inadequate TO exhaust the water in time TO
save the mems lives, as the men are not al
lowed to work over three hours, time beyond
that being deemed dangerous. Owing to the
distance to pump the water the engine could
not fully perform its duty. A bucket bri-
gade was then organized among the bridge
employees, who, with ropes and buckets,
slowly bailed the water of the shaft. This
was slow and tedious work and when the
men had been imprisoned for over three
hours in the cassom nearly everybody gave
up the hope OF ever rescuing them. Final
ly at about three O'clock, the water was
exhausted, and the men were rescued in an
exhausted and frightened condition. When
they were brought out wild cheers went up
from the crowd on the levee.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct 2l.-The General

its last session yesterday morning at nine
o'clock. The first business taken up was

half dozen special committees. The conf

0Reilly, vice president; Nettie HardisOn,

and keep a record OF all cases. The fol-

BALLAD OF FOOLISH MEN.

VIII take me but minute;
And when you read it ponder well,
And its lesson prithee dwell,
For there's moral in 1t.
There we're two youths whom once knew
whose names were George and Harry;
Who sWore that women they'd eschew,
That to each other they'd be true,
AND never, never marry.
"We'rs bachelors for aye" cried theyi
''The life we lead is Jolly,
all women care for is display,
TIL expense of which man must defray,
30 marriage is but folly"
But Cupd's tiny, shining dart
Cares naught for scheming mortals,
The gates to Georges callous heart
One day by luck was forced apart,
And love got through the portals
And Harry, too. received a blow
That baniShed all his scheming,
By wOman's art he was laid low,
And, Vanquished by his charming fee,
He spent his time day-dTeaming.
But each concealed his sudden fall,
To subterfnge resOrting,
And on the preteXt of call
Ihe lies they told would you appal-
They'd steal off for their counting.
But ah, one day it so fell out
Mems friendship should be stronger
Each OF the other had doubt,
And then straightway It came about
That they were friends no longer.

Portsmouth, N H.. Special.
Yesterday afternoon David Stevens and George
Merrill were fishing at Durham, in the Oyster
river, ten miles from where it empties into the
sea. They were astonished by a series of small
waterspouts squirting from the river some little
distance from them. They pulled cautiously to
the spot where the last spout was seen. In a
moment dark object glided by the boat little
below the surface of the water Just beyond
them it came to the surface and squirted a
stream of water into the air. The two men
pulled rapidly after it, and Mr.. Merrill succeeded
in striking the creature heavy blow just back
of the mead, which killed it. AS well as lands
men can Judge, they have captured a baby
whale The head, TAIL breathing hole, etc., are
those of whale. The creature is three feet two
inches in length. 1t will be preserved.
