not represent him fairly. When the

covered with snow: when the railroad
tracks are rendered unfit for the use of
pedestrians by the accumulation of the

SOulleSS corporations refuse TO heat in

SLOT MACHINES.
The Immense Profit That Is Made

The bartender looked I'D and said:
SIS that so? Are you really twenty
years old?''
Yes" replied the guileless youth,
Il am very sorry" continued the bar
tender, but if that is so l can't sell you
any drinks; you are minor"
An elderly gentleman with a gray
beard stood by with an amused smile
while this was going on, and told the
bartender that he was right. The elderly
man proved to be j. w. Brooks. of New
York, who is heavily interested in the
slot machines, and in speaking of them
he said to a Fress reporter:
"There is an immense amount of cap
ital invested in these little affairs. Eras-
tuS Wiman, of New York, was the first
to bring them to this country. | believe,
and about 1856 he placed in the large
American cities weighing machines.
These made great deal ~ money, and
then II. K. 'Ihurber started in with
the slot machines which sold candy
and chocolate. Mr. Wiman thought
he had patent for the United States,
and costly lawsuit followed. During
this the records of the patent Office at
Washington were examined, and they
found that 100 years ago man in Eng
land, who kept tavern, made use of
the slot machine. This was tin box
con tanning tobacco. The frequenterS Of
his tavern dropped half-penny in the
slot and it struck lever which opened
the box. Then the purchasers took out
pinch of tobacco and put it in one of the
pipes lying arOu nd on the tables in the
bar room. This is the first slot ma
chine of which any record is known.
Nowadays they sell everything in them,
especially in England, where they are
used for postage stamps. In Wash

of the machines cost over $50. And ii

and does it at her husbands expense.
which is certainly for the bachelor an
altogether jolly situation. Society girls,
on the tiptOe of expectancy for s.
bunch of violets and a lace kerehief
thrown in, are quite enough 20 scare off
even the most sentimental youths. The
modern maiden wants too much. The
married belle asks for nothing from her
carpet knight save his delightful
society. What wonder, then. that the
bachelor Of to-day has his own particu-
lar theories respecting life, regardless
of the Establishments of the single

ARE WOMEN MERCENARY2
Two Diverse Opinions on the Ques-
ton of Feminine Acquisitive-

Two DittfS6 OpluiOuS Oh blC SuOS-
ton of Feminine Acquisitive-
ness.
New York Sun.
Two women were discussing a very
delicate subject: Is woman as a sex
mercenary and calculating?
II think l am well acquainted with
my sex," said one, land am forced to
acknowledge to myself that women are
on the continual watch for what may
be gained from friends. They make
themselves particularly agreeable to
people Of influence and ignore those
that are of small consequence. The
more innocent young girls smile
most brightly upon the young man
who sends flowers and candy,
and the fast ones play regular
game to get gifts of more substantial
sort. Men are so foolish, too. They
fancy women sincere and honest, and
consider it privilege when they are
allowed to make present Of value to
beauty that has fiattered their vanity.
Alas! | mourn that my sex is so hypo-
critical and grasplng. remember the
time when it was considered an insult
for men to give presents to young
ladies. Now, however, woman has
changed all that, and after man has
known a girl week he asks her to ac-
cept diamond bracelet, or some other
Expensive trinket. 1t is really too
adj"
The other lady laughed heartily at
that she called her friends pesslmistic
nlisconception, Nonsense" she cried.
''Pm astonIshed at you. Where have
you been living of late? Among the
wild Bohemians who have to exist on
their wits, I'll warrant. Now, my dear,
| insist that you are ali wrong in your
conclusions, and l claim that, except
for a little community of women found
in every large capital, the general mod
eSty and pride of the feminine sex are
as pronounced as they were when we
were a good deal younger than we are
now. You know well enough that you
would not allow one of your daughters
to accept gift from man, and you
know that they would never dream of
maneuverng for one. Now, are you so
conceited as to think you are different
from other mothers. or your daughters
superior to all other girls? Why, the
world is crowded with just such people.
and in them is the great spirit that
keeps the world alive. The only way
that your conclusion is to be arrived
at is by combining your studies
to narrow coterie of ill-bred,
high-Strung, and badly regulated women
that makes itself conspicuous in the UNI
wholesome neighborhood of the city of
New York. These women make noise
and are vulgar. and it is their habit to
get all they can out of people they meet,
but you ought to know that they are
wofully small part of the world and can
not affect that fine feminine character
that objects to common contact and
whose chief feature is the quality of
pride. File! Believe i'll your sex, my
dear. Woman is not mercenary or cal
culating."
The last speaker was so vehement and
convincing that the other smiled over
her teacup and said: "Well, dear, per-
haps | was mistaken. / am sure hope
So" And every one else must hope so,
too.

surroundings he is the equal of any of
them.
Constant. Uninterrupted rest, coupled
with frequent change OF scenery,
is a necessary factor in the prOduc-
ton of his happiness. During the sum-
mer he journeys by easy stages from one
part Of the land to the other. He usu-
ally finds his best run of luck and the
greatest amount of real comfort in the
rural districts. While the dew is yet
fresh on the petals Of the rose he rOuses
up from his resting place in the farmers
hay NOW, or some Sheitering fence cor
ner, and ere the heat of the day comes
on he enjoys a morning walk along the
railroad track or picturesque country
roadway, not forgetting to procure a
breakfast, probably in inStallments, at

Undertakers, while being men with
hearts steeled to scenes of grief and
woe, must at the same time be always
ready to sympathize and cOndole with
the distressed. They are continually
looking at the dark side of life, but it is
a mistake to think that they are, on this
account, of gruesome, graveyard tenn

appear, undertakers as rule are jolly

The experiences of the average
Snatcher of Cadavers
would furnish ample material for the
novel writer who is fond of dealing
with the weird and funereal aspect of
things. A few years ago one of our
local undertakerS was sent for by the
matrOn of hospital to remove the body
of man who had died there. The I'M
dertaker dispatched two men to the
hospital, who arrived there about dusk.
They were in quite hurry, and going
into the dead house, seized the first
body in sight and quickly thrust
ing it into coffin. carried it out, placed
it in the wagon and drove off.
When the body arrived at the store a
telephone message came from the hos
pltal saying to prepare the remains and
ship them to certain town in Wiscon-
sin. The same evening the undertakers
were called upon to take another body
away from the same hospital, with in
structions to prepare the same and bury
it IN Potter'S field. The directions in
