A Filthy Habit.

One of the vilest habits tolerated in the
United States publicly and privately is
wholly unknown in other countries. Il
is obtrusive expectoration. The disgust
ing vice is on the decline in large cities,
but it is still too prevalent, and persons in
authority ought to insist upon its repres-
sion. Smokers who can not smoke with
out making themselves offensive ought
always smoke in strict seclusion. Men
riding in public vehicles pay for trans
portation, but it does not include the
right to defile floors, soil the garments
Of other persons in the vehicle, and sicken
the stomachs of the sensitive. The be-
scattering of sidewalks, railway stations,
foyers, and other places with salivary
discharges is as foul as it is unnecessary.
Conductors, janitors, and porters ought
discreetly remind men guilty of this bar
barity that it must be stopped. If quiet
protest will not be needed let the police
man be called.
Secretions of the respiratory, salivary,
or digestive organs are properly deposited
in pocket handkerchiefs il they can not
be more satisfactorily disposed Of Men
who can not afford pocket handkerchief
should receive gifts Of them from thsir
friends. A vigorous and persistent effort
to stop this filthy practice in public at
least should be made and kept up.-[Chi-
caQo Herald.

or rather did-to Parnell McCorken, the
capitalist About three months ago he
resolved 10 take his family on q European
tour. When about to leave his Office for
the train he sent messenger boy out to
his residence with a note, which he
thought might possibly reach his wife
before she left the house. The boy was
instructed to wait for an answer-bear
that in mind-"wait for an answer
It is supposed that the said boy reached
his destination some time early in the fol-
lowing week. At all events, as he did
not return McCorken forgot the circum-
lily. McCorken was not q superstitious
man, but he had hardly been insulated
into his berth by the Pullman porter be-
fore he was filed with presentiment Of
evil.
In vain he endeavored to shake off the
foreboding of disaster that depressed him.
1t followed him to London, Paris, Switz-
erland, everywhere. Worn to shadow,
he finally turned his face homeward. AS
he stepped from the ferry on his arrival
here he sprang into carriage and was
rapidly driven to his dwelling, which he
approached with feeling of inexplicable
terror.
AS he ascended his steps he beheld
calmly slumbering before the door mes
senger boy-McCorken's note of three
months back still protruding from his
pocket. He had been provided with
couple of blankets by the company,
which also furnished him with three cof-
fee and doughnut rations per diem.
He was waiting for an answeri With
loud shrek the once happy capitalist
fell to the earth ruined man.
But why linger upon the sad factsf
Any clever school boy can in few hours
figure the amount of the District Messen-
ger Company's bill against McCorken, in
cluding "car fare both ways" That mis-
cradle victims estate is now in the hands
of the sheriff, and according to compu-
tation made by that gentleman with
piece of chalk on the almshouse fence he
is still 81 900, ,042. 28 in debt to the COM

Here is story of practical joke
played by an ex-Confedrate officer, Col
onel Aylett, upon some of his old COM
panions in arms. He had company Of
friends at his country place, near Rich
mond, and one evening a display Of fire.

of the evening Colonel Aylett called me
and two or three young fellows TO him,
and said: II want you to help me fool

possible, so that it will explode before

We slipped away in the darkness, and
the guests were invited out upon the
lawn to see the Colonel shoot some small
bomb shells from his gun.
The signal was given, and the gun was
fired. In few seconds bright flash
was seen in the air, and loud explosion
followed. The shots were repeated until
six had been fired.
We could hear the exclamations that
followed each discharge, and in few
minutes were back again mingling with
the crowd, and listening to the comments
of the veterans.

showed what strange pranks imagination

PRICE ONE CENT


John Plankinton was millionaire. aud
that is as definite as his wealth can be
estimated. although inan in position to
know says II will exceed &i0, 900, 900.
His interests were almost entirely in Mill
waukee.
Mr.. Plankinton came TO Milwaukee in
1874 at the age of "a years, and the char
acteristics which made him famous as q
business man and citizen were brought
into action within fortnight after his
arrival. A native of Delaware, he re-
moved with his parents 10 Pittsburg &C
the age of Of 10, received q scanty edu-
cation, and in 1874 came 10 the city Of
bricks before the utility of the mud had
been discovered. When he reached the
village, practical young butcher. he
found that the friend with whom he was
to have formed a acopartnership had made
better arrangements with another, and
made the excuse that young Plankinton's
capital was inadequate to the enterprise
designed. Angry at the betrayal OF con-
fidence, business failing which he never
forgave in any one during his long ca
reer afterward, he resolved TO start in
opposition. Possessing $425, he rented
house to shelter his wife and child at ~
per month, bought n COW for % and
turned her out TO pasture and fatten ON
the open wild land where his palatial
house now stands on Grand avenue, while
he rented land and proceeded 10 erect
butcher shop, which cost him elOS.
Fourteen days after his arrival he was
retailing his meats.
Industrious, honest, economical, he be-
came the leading butcher of the town,
and his business the first year averaged
nearly 81 900 per month. His increasing
business demanded new quarters, and he
moved, but il was a popularity Of his
life to retain the title TO all realty which
he had once occupied, and at the time of
his death the land upon which he first
found a home in Milwaukee was In his
name. In 1850 he entered into a partner
ship with Frederick Layton, and the new
firm began the packing business, which,
at the time of dissolution in 1881, had
reached proportions equal to any house
west of Cincinnati. For three years Mr..
Plankinton continued alone, and in 1864
united with p. ID. Armour, under the
firm name of Plankinton q Armour.
The business was extended to cover the
now famous establishments of Chicago,
New York, Kansas City. and elsewhere.
In 1884 the firm divided, Mr.. Plankinton
retaining the Milwaukee house and con-
tinuing the business here till 1888, when
failing health and increasing business re-
sponsibilities impelled him 10 dispose of
his packing house, Kansas City Times.

MORE OR LESS BEEF
Gen. Miles on tho Iau-ss which Led q
the Recent Sioux Outbreak.

WAsHINGroN, ID. C., Jan. 24.-From
Pine Ridge a letter was received here
to-day quoting Gen. Miles on the causes
which led to the Sioux outbreak 1t
cites Gen. Miles a. saying. at Is
simply a question OF more or less
beef. Given sufticiency OF
beef-and the treaty stipulations
provides there shall be cnough-and wo
shall, under ordinary circumstances,
have unbrOkcn peace. Keep the sup
ply on It's present basis or decrease IL
and we shall have wars which will cost
Us ten thousand times more In money
alone than tho value OF the meat we
neglect or refuse TO give. This
beef buying and issuing needs re-
vision Under the present arrangement
congress may appropriate enough money
70 buy a suttiCienCy, but false eron0my
can defeat the expressed intention OF
honest legislation, Last year $500
head Of cattle were purchased for and
delivered 70 this agency. Three thous-
and head were sent TO Rosebud under
my direction. Those animals still alive
have been weighed and the average
shrinkage was found TO bc little over
two hundred pounds. The Indian bu-
reau contracts for so many million
pounds OF beef for each agency and that
beef is delivered In the fall During
the winter the cattle lose flesh and
this loss affects the Indians. Many OF
the steers die, and that also affects the
indian. The government agrees with
him to give him so much beef per day,
but 1t never makes good Its promise.
1t purchases in the fall what would prob
ably fulfill the treaty conditions, but
when the spring arrives the ratiOns have
Of necessity shrunk to oue-half their Just
proportions. You cannot explain this
discrepancy TO a huhgrg man. He can
not eat what was available last October,
but which has since vanished into thin
air. You will see that up TO this time
ann there has been only tho
mlIdest kind OF weather-the shrink
age on beef for two agencies
amounts 10 more than / 800, 900 pounds.
This shrinkAge can be avoided consider
ably Instead of allowing contractors
to supply what are known as Through
cattle, shipped directly from the south
cru states, the Indian bureau should in
sist on being supplied only with those
animals that had spent at least one win
ter la these higher latItudes. After
the first winter there il but little loss,
for the beeyes have become acclimated.
This beef business ie at the root of the
whole trouble. Congress did not inn
prove matters In the least by further
the supply TO the extent OF
a 900, 900 pounds. Give the Indian the
