It costs only trife more to have pie lures we'll framed than ill-framed; say from per cent. to 10 per cent; but the good framing is really worth 50 per cent. more. The freedom from wrinkling, the security against staining, the proper pro- portions of mats and margins are points that are not considered at all in cheap work. All work done at Cutters Art Store is done in best possible manner.

Too Much "BawI."

Twenty years ago the energetic Professor
Schwarz was conducting musical society
in New Jersey city. They were studying
Memberships Elijah" and had reached
the chorus, ''Heag us, Baal; hear, mighty
God"
The mems voices were booming out
generously, when the conductor cried out:
mo! No! de dreadful vowel! Don't say
Bale soften leetle-give de more mu-
sical sound, Bal"
Whereupon the chorus took up the strain
again, "Hear US Bawi-hear US Bawl," but
they quickly realized the peculiar fitness OF
che sentiment and broke down in laugh
ter, to the great amazement of the little
German, who never saw the joke, but who
reluctantly consented to the old pronun-
ciation.-Youth's Companion.

Stockton Waking Up.

j. c. Reynolds, owner of the Bunker Hill
mine at Stockton, was in the city yester-
day. He brought with him so tons of ore
that runs 20 ounces of silver and so per
cent. lead, which he turned over to the
Conklin samplers. He is going to put in
hosting works, shaft house, trackage and
other improvements, including an ore bin,
and will get the mine in first class working
order.
The great trouble with the camp has
been that many of the mines well supplied
with mining machinery have been idle. This
has been the case with the King mine
which with three boilers and hosting and
pumping works has remained idle.
The Honerine company, in which Major
Mitchner is interested, is goingcto over
haul and start up the concentrating mill
and drive the tunnel still farther, which is
now in 1000 feet.

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES
Everything Moving Smoothly III
the B. & M. Yards.
Changes In the Land Department of the Union
Pacif1c-An Express Mes
senger Killed.

OMAHA, Neb, April Especial telegram
to THE HERALD. This morning every
thing seemed to be moving smoothly in the
Burlington & Missouri yards. w. A.
Austin, local freight agent, stated that no
trouble had been experienced in getting all
the men they wanted, and all the engines
had full crews. He was at loss to account
for the strike, as the men had made no de-
mand whatever on the company nor had
they made any complaint; there had been
no trouble, and person not informed of
the fact would not have known any strike
has occurred.
One Of the crossings fiagmen who has
been in the employ of the road for some
time, stated that the crews were all filed,
but they were not doing as much work as
the old crews and the yards were filling up
rapidly. He did not know why the men
had quit, as he had never heard any COM
with the men at Lincoln.
CIV. LOOMS, assistant general manager,
stated very positively that no instructions
of any kind had ever been issued to dis
criminate between union and non union
men. OF the Wen discharged during the
general reduction, not more than one-tenth
were union men. The trouble at Lincoln
he said, was only temporary, and every
thing was running smoothly now.
The Burlington Strike at Omaha.
OMAHA, April 9.-The strike of the Bur.
lington men is assuming serious nature
The yards are guarded by a strong police
force. The strikers are quiet at present
but threaten to iniure non union men a
work. Trouble is feared tonight.

His Quiet Mind.

An old darby, black as royal flush of
spades, sat swinging his feet over the bulk
head on Light street in Baltimore. His
eyes were deep in the mysteries of an over
ripe watermelon.
Say, uncle" said the stranger, "why
don't you go to work."
"Cayn't find no wuk," returned the old
darkey, from the midst of the melon.
"Whyn't you look for it,"
"Don't want no wuk."
"Well, how do you live?"
The old darby raised his eyes in wonder.
Even the melon was for the moment for
gotten in his establishment at the ignorance
of the stranger.

Death Rather Than a Hospital.

Here and there may be found persons
who have dread of that great triumph CT
modern civilization the hospital. They
will do anything before accepting char
ity'' or taking advantage of the skilled and
constant attention that a hospital affords.
Prejudice of this sort is responsible for the
death of Jersey City woman, who at noon
the other day was seen at a window on the
third floor of Manhattan avenue tene-
ment. The next moment she threw up the
sash and plunged headlong down into the
yard. Some of the neighbors ran to her
assistance and carried her into room on
the lower floor. She died soon afterward.
She was Mrs. Pauline House, aged thirty
five. She lived with her husband and ons
child, ten years old, in the apartments on
the third floor. She had been suffering for
long time with acute infammatory rheu-
matism. DR.. Nevin advised that she be
taken to hospital.
Her husband, who is poor, tried to per,
suade her that that would be best, but she
strenuously objected. So she sent out to a
neighboring drug store for some Paris
green, which she swallowed. When the
poison began to make itself felt she suf.
fered such excruciating pain that she
jumped from the window.
