How the Infants Shoot.

A charming young public school
teacher, with very lively set of young
charges is ] esponsible for the follow

to write compositions on "Good Man

an eight-yearold:
Good manners is keeping your fresh
mouth out of other peoples business.
The teacher drew a picture on the
blackboard Of boy wading in the

"The crab we see on the board is not
deviled crab, but salt water crab.

When these two, with SIMPSONS in
cognito comrade Cyclops, cross the At
lantic, they will meet competitors worthy
their prowess Louis st. Cyr, the Cana
dian Hercules, who has challenged
Sampson and Sandow, is 26 years of age,
and is a man of superb development,
standing feet lO4 inches tall and weigh
ing 1928 pounds; his flesh and muscles are
as hard as oak and he is probably the best
weight litter ever seen in this part of the
globe Another challenger is Denis Gal
lagher, a muscular athlete who formerly
resided in Buffalo, and whose specially is
Lancashire wrestling.
St Cyr and Gallagher have both APP
peared in public contests. The former
has put up 245-pound dumb bell from
floor to shoulder and from shoulder to
arms length with one hand. On March
Is, 1885, at ST. Henri Canada, he lifted
platform on which seven men were
seated and which, also, contained seven
! dumb bells and a barrel of -four, the
whole making a dead weight of 2,37S
pounds. He repeated this feat six
months later Immediately after this,
he placed a barrel of -four upon his
shoulder. ana 1OllOWed tnls up Dy llItlnS
$500 pound of pig iron with plank as
the hold. His tremendous development
will dwarf both Sampson and Sandow
and render contest among these giants
| decidedly interesting.
! There are other great Americans who
will in all probability enter the list
ag rnst the herculean foreigners when
they arrive. William B. Curtis, the
sporting edi or of the Spirit Of the Times,
is famous amateur athlete. He has
lifted vi h the harness l,2jO pounds in
New York City David i. Dowd, of
Springfield, has lifted l,4424 pounds

In diagonals and in wide vale goods

ings are quietly effective 10 quite ire

The double breasted long sack reefng
Jacket, made to fit loosely, is the bright
particular hit of this season in the cloth
ing business.
Well-made trousers are seen a. the 7
best under the present accepted vogue as
to measurements. The tendency toward
The absurd balloon revival has been hap
PLY checked. The correct trousers are
now cut reasonably snug about the hips
with a straight fall and slight sharp
taper toward point at the bottom.
Aside from the crush hat, the tall silk
stovepipe is the only appropriate head
gear to be worn with evening dress.
Swelldom will welcome the opera hat
back again when the proper time arrives,
for the silk hat is, upon occasions, very
much in the way and decidedly incon-
yenient to manage.
Some of the ultra swells will wear
white waistcoats when the thermometer
s down ne freezing point. The mo-
terial is washable, but infinitely warmer
than the summer textures.
The figured waistcoat is the one sop
cast by the relentless fashion-molders
this season to the small army of men
with ready money to spend in costume,
and possess sing we'll defined penchant
for the natty and picturesque in dress.
In the variety of style and beauty of
workmanship the American manufac-
turers of canes and umbrellas long since
distanced European competitors. These
articles come forth in wondrous multi
plicity of design at this period of the
year, and for serviceability those of the
best quality may be warranted to stand
all of the tests in contest with the best
example on which duty was ever paid.
AS if to deprecate and discountenance
the wearing of the high hat with the
sack dress coat, some of the leading
swells have taken to wearing brown and
/ light colored Derbys with the garment.
! This attitude makes the ASSOCIATION OF
the high hat and swallowtail even moro
distinctively correct, and furthermore
acts as a foil TO any suggestion of en-
croachment upon the realm of the Skin
coat of full evening dress.

the TOWNSHIP boomer was used and for
some time 1t looked as IL
Salisbury would have 70 move.
The people asked, What will the
railroad do? Will they give the new town
switch and depot facilities? Replies 10
theletters of inquiry to the officials as
sured the projectors of Memphis that
they could not build switch so close to
an established station. and that IL they
wanted railroad facilities they mnst set
tie near them. Again and again this
position was reiterated by the Fort
Worth and Denver officials. People
had gone to Salisbury In good
faith and built houses and gone
into business because it was
railway station before Memphis was
thought of, and in simple justice TO these
settlers the railroad could not offer Mem
phis any announcement whatever. In
the face of this plain declaration of pol
icy the townsite boomers continued their
efforts to build up their town by pulling
down Salisbury. And finally, at
fraudulently secured election, the county
was prematurely organized with Mem
phis the county seat by plurality of
only twenty votes. In order TO Sc
cure these votes from thinking men 1t
was necessary to promise that the new
town would have railroad facilities at
once, aud it Is on account of the failure
TO induce Manager Meek to change the
long avowed policy of the road that
the sympathy of the state OF
Texas is asked by the Memphis town
boomers to-day. 1t is not the citizens of
Hall county or any considerable number
of them that care two straws whether

company be brought to time and made

long as that place exists with a railroad

nothing but county seat to draw to Is
in danger of her rights.
The gist of the whole matter is that the
railroad company ars completing strictly

The State of Trade.

Special telel rams to Bra6street's report all OF
the evidence of increasing commercial and in
dustrial activity noted last week, the Sc otember
outlook being for an active distribution of sta
Piles. There are no definite reports as to the do
nestle cop shortages other than were mace
public last week. Boots and shoes are selling at
prices materially higher than year ago, with
the autumn demand under good Roadway. Even
raw wool is hrmer, while other staples showing
relatively most activity are clothing and season
able dry Goods. These repcrts come from
Philadelphia. Boston, Kansas City, Chicago,
Omaha are other distri )Iting centers. At New
York very large autumn 8 trade Is going on.
The close of the fiscal year at the South checks
business somewhat, notably at New Orleans,
but the volume OF goods moving IS still large Tor
the season. Rains have checked the rice move
ment there, but cotton is moving freely. In
some sec ions of Southwestern Nebf aska and of
Western Kansas the damage to staple crops has
been SO serious as to materially check pur-
chasing.
Bank clesrings at fi.ty-one cities for the week
ended August - are 81 Us, EOS, IS, gaia over
this week last year of 1913 per cent. New
York City's clearings, which cons itute g.. per
cent. of therrand total, are more than those for
the like period last year by u per cent, while
at fifty other cities the gain is "a per cent.
There is no advance in the price OF iron yet,
but an astonishing feature is found in the ease
with which the enormous total output OF the
furnaces is absorbed. Within a year domestic
stacks have produced more than 9.00l,0 net
tons of iron, placing the Unitsd States in the
front rank as a producer. Anthracite coal re-

consequent upon listing about 70 0O0, 900 barrels
of Ohio oil for investment and speculative pur-
poses, appears to have dropped into neglect
once more. Hogs are lower in price on heavier
receipts.
Wheat has reacted cents from the high
prices touched early in the week, and corn and
oats have as is natural, sympaLhized with the
decline. This is due to foreign markets refus-
ing to follow further at this time the prolonged
advance in domestic markets, together with
some slight improvement in crop reports. Total

He had mining expert with him. who

Dougherty is on a boom since the coal
has been discovered and parties are in
the city every day looking up locations to

cheap and money is p enty. Dougherty

before Christmas she expects to have
