effect sales. Equally bullish reports come from
the producing points. It is estimated that the

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Moves Little Slow Owing to the
Continued Cool Weather.

INDIANAPOLIS. April 19.
While trade in some departments is consider
ed good taken q whole, there is q sluggishnsss
in the movement which is wholly attributable
to the ceolnesS of the weather. Indianapolis is
not an exception. The New York Shipping List
of the 18th. in its comments Gays the trade stu
alton is still characterized by general quietude,
and business lacks tbs stimulus Of an active de-
mand. There seems to DO very little disposition
to buy except 20 cover actual requirements, and
the progress toward Improvement in the dis
tributive movement of merchandise is slow and
for the most part unsatisfactory. In some cases
the tendency towards lower prices restricts the
operations of buyers; in others the backward
season delays the demand. the subdued char
acter of speculation also has quoting influence.
while the conservative sririt that for the mo-
ment seems TO insure operations Of almost
every description is likewise potent factor IN
the present position of commercial affaire. But
although there 10 q conspicuous absence OF snap
and animation 70 the business OPERATIONS in
progress there are several significant features
that are likely 20 have important bearing
upon future Developments and that
indications of progressive prosperity.
Dry goods men, however. speak of trade as be-
ing active and che volume OF business hand

THE STRONGER SEX.

Why am a woman suffrsgist2 Be-
cause l am Because woman has more
good, hard, common sense than man.
Because she makes less buster about her
rights, and quietly maintains them better
than q man. Because she WON'T give q
dollar and half for an article that ehe
knows very well she csn get for 70 cents.
Because she does not stalk loftly sway
from the clunter without her change II
the rubber behind 1t is a little reluctant
about countingit out. Because she is too
Independent TO psy the landlord 81 % for
dinner and then pay the head waiter 81
to send her Elwsiter who will bring it to
her for so cents. Because she will hold
her money tightly in her own good little
right hand for two hours until she first
gets a receipt for it from the fellow who
made her husband pay the same bill three
times last year. Not any 'Just give you
credit for it" for her. Because one day 8
Pullman porter complained to me:
"No money on this trip; too many
women ABOARD. Don't never get
nothin' out woman 'ceptin' just
her regular fare" l had Just paid MIN

losing the other-and when he said that,
when saw for myself the heroic firm
ness of those women, travelling alone,
paying their fare and refusing to pay the
salaries of the employees of wesltby

G right to vote. To vote? By all that is
brave and self-reliant and sensible, they
have right to run the gov rnment!"

Here is another wise man who knows
so much about Sleeping that it hurts him
to carry It around, so he unloads some of
his knowledge upon our general ignor-
ance. The wise man says: Hunters,
scouts, children, wild men and all ami
mails sleep with the spine upward. Every
creature does this except civilized men.
It Is the natural and the right way.
Sleeping on the face protects the vital
organs in cSse.of 6 shot froLl the enemy.
So 1t dSes, when we bear in mind
that 1t is poor gun in these days
that can't send half-ounce ball
crashing through a railroad tie and that
Garfield was killed by shot square in
the back, We ought to get right down on
our faces and stay there, not merely to
protect our vital organs from chance can
non shots but to express our profound
reverence for man who knows so much.
Tell you, my son, this world Is SO :hock
full Of wisdom and knowledge and lnfor-
