A NEW SUGGESTION.

Now, If it can be demonstrated bv
discussion that all this can be done
through a currency issued on the great
staple crops without carrying the gov.
eminent into either the warehouse or
banking business, I am satisfied the
farmers would promptly accept such
a modification of their views. and
every productive interest in the whole
country could be brought into accord
and harmony on the subject. The
short road TO this end is for the gov
eminent to establish at least one Snb. |
treasury in each State of the Union

Two BiblicaI Errors.

A typographical error has been dis
covered in the last issue of the Bible
from the Cambridge press. 1t occurs in
Isaiah 1918, the word foundation"
being begun with an ''r' instead of an
"f.'' The young son of DR. Adler found
the error and received the standing re-
ward of a guinea. Years ago there was
an edition of the Bible known as the
''bad Bible" from the fact that the
word mot" was omitted from the most
important commandment. The un-
fortunate printer was tried for his life
and the whole edition cCnfiscated and
suppressed

Horse-Car Line.
About the most accommodating
strcct-car line / ever struck" said =
gentleman in the reading-room of a big
hotel the other evening TO a New York
Tribune reporter, lis in little hamlet
in Oxford County, Ne. The place
doesn't contain more than six hundred
Inhabitants, all told. But it has a fac
titious Importance in summer time, be-
cause the Maine Chautauoua Union
holds its annual assembly there. The
rolling stock of the line consists of three
open horse-cars in summer and a COM
Portable vehicle in winter. A unique
feature Of the road is that il transports
baggage as we'll As passengers, charging
uniform fare of six cents for each
piece, whether human or various OF
course IT is needless to say that there is
mono OF the mad hurry about these cars
that Is so noticeable in city street-car
when you are half block away and
want to catch IL. The conductor knows
everybody and everybody knows him.
No yawning social chasm exists between
passenger and official Not only does
the car stop in front of each passengers
house, but If he happens TO have any
baggage the driver leisurely ties up h 5
horses and assists the conductor in car
rying the baggage into the house, and
up into the attic if desired.
IF passenger discovers that he has
forgotten any thing, the car is immedl-
ately stopped to allow him to 90 back
and get it. and IL the distance is great
the conductor and driver will shift the
horses and the car will be driven back
TO where the forgetful passenger lives.

while the horse browses on the roadside.
Sometimes the conductor gets a li;lle
lonesome in slack times. On such occ.t-
sions he invites n bevy of children u
take free ride, which they do with
great willingness.
I'm winter there is no conductor
for the single vehicle. The driver sits
inside close by 4 hot stove. the reins be-
ing passed through a little window.

and movement and noise ars not regarded
as necessarily the surest road to happi-
ness In my opinion the tired and
in-fagged city-resident would find in
such places as this the most thorough
and complete rest. But you can't con-

noisy and garish summer hotel, which
is simply little bit of the city trans

not the most desirable bit either

A FEMALE ENGINEER.
She Has Successfully Run an Engine Il
Three Years

| Three Years
To see woman running an engine in
real life is genuine novelty. The fair
sex occasionally run engines in novels,
on the stage and so on, but real, live
female engineer is a new sensation. OF
course this one is in Chicago, and of
course she is young and pretty. They
always are The romance OF the case is,
however, cut out by the cold-blooded
announcement that she is not doing it
TO save husband, lover or fathers life
or noerty. She Is purely mercenary.
Inc stipend drawn at the end of each
week Is all that she is after. Her name
Is not known. Perhaps this is where
the romantic part comes in. Perhaps
otherwise. Be this or that as it NAV,
she is a flesh and blood reality. When
a reporter for the Chicago Herald called
Mt the place where this novelty works
he stated his business to a young lady
clerk, and asked TO see the woman who
runs the engine.
| "A lady Is our engineer" Uttered the
| clerk, but she is busy and can't see any
reporters"
Can she be seen?" was asked.
NO" was the answer. .'She will see
no one. unless it is an examiner of en-
gineers, and then she will be found
! ready and anxious to answer all cues
tions."
The lady engineer, as she is STYLED.
has had charge of the Bee Hive laun-
dry engine for about three years, during
which time she had no trouble and has
apparently been well able to attend to
all the duties devolving upon her.
Her principal claim for competency.
however, is that she has taken her
engine apart and placed it together
again without seriously damaging its
component parts or detracting from its
power. Questions to be propounded to
her by the reporter were furnished BY
an engineer, but she declined to answer
any questions at all unless thew came
from the board of engineers. These
queries we're regarding her knowledge
OF how to figure on her safety valve,
her boilers horsepower and her en-
gine's horsepower. That she can DEM
onstrate properly on all these in
trlcacles she does not doubt, and is
anxious to have the board OF examiners
pass on her case
r. Z. Dicey, of the board, said in re-
gard TO this woman: IF woman can
successfully pass the required examin-
stlon there is no law TO prevent her
continuing the practice of engineering.
Ihis case will be rigidly looked into
and unless this lady engineer can tell
all ABOUT an engine she will have TO 4
give up her position TO a competent

Vaughan threw a rock back at johnson,
hitting him in the mouth. Johnson
then drew his pistol and fired at
Vaughan. The report of Johnson's pis-
toll caused horse which was hitched
to the back of Vaughan's wagon
to break loose. Catching the horse
Vaughan protected himself behind the
animal and drawing his pistol returned
Johnson's fire. johnson threw his head

he had killed johnson in self defense.

MUCH DISCOUNTED.

A Cherokee Delegation That Visited Secre-
tary Noble InIuiring About the Strip.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Cherokees
are at last beginning to realize that the
days of their possession of the Cherokee
Strip are numbered and that the time is
soon at hand, Notwithstanding their
opposition, when they must yield to
power of the Government and the de-
mand for the advancement of civiliza-
ton.
A new delegation, consisting of three
half blood Cherokees, visited Secretary
Noble yesterday and had quite pro-
tracted interview with him concerning
the Cherokee Outlet and the action of
the Commissioners appointed to nego-
tiate for the cession of the Strip. When
they came away they were very much
disgruntled and told their friends that
Secretary Noble said to them that they
had already been paid once for the Strip
and they were now offered fair price
to buy it over again, which they were
fcolishly declining to accept, that they
might as well understand and make up
their minds that it would be but very
brief period before the plowshare of the
white man would be turning the sod of
the Strip which is now occupied by the
catt1emen, who were there without war
rant of law.
