Not long ago was Ia New York

when a tall and elegantly dressed lady
entered and asked 10 see some cloakinga
She told the clerk che wished 10 match
a cloak and had no sample, but she
thought shed know the stuff when she
saw IL. That poor clerk pulled down
roll upon roll ~ goods for her inspec-
tion, and at length she found what she
wished.

Five dollars, madam" he replied.
Very well; ] don't wish nruch-tur
enough to finish cuff on my cloak
Let me see-five dollars-I think a quar-
ter's worth will be plenty"
The clerk fumbled in his pocket mo
'nent, produced d quarter, put It on tho
cloth and cut out exactly the size Of ia
quarter, and before the astonished wori
an could lay word he pat her qugrte
with the piece Of cloth and sent II "a In

A COMPARISON.

The police station was patched up few
years ago. II now uses over fifty tons Of
coal season, and yesterdays Journal
said with the possible exception OF the
tramp room, il is safe to say that no room
in the building was warm enough every
day during the Winter. The court room
was often uncomfortably cold, and the
Chiefs and Captains rooms were oftener
uncomfortably cold"
Ordinarily, there nro no "tremps" at the
City Hall, so what would b, the beneficial
results OF patching up that building?

expensive result OF patching up the police

Edward Emde is one of the victims of
swindling concern known as the Maine
and Michigan Lumber and Milling Com
pany (incorporated), an institution which
some two years ago successfully operated
in Tacoma, betraying tenderfeet into
parting with their dollars under prom
Use OF enriching them. Their concern is
now operated by Martin E. Poy, alias
Morgan Thomas and Peter Hanley.
They catch the unwary by advertising to
locate men on timber lands. When a
prospective customer arrives they delude
him with tales OF great riches.
They propose to locate their victim on
timber land and to purchase the land Of
him at the end of 80 days for $500. All
they ask is an advance fee of $25. Emde
was one Of the suckers who paid this
amount, and he complainedto the police,
who soon located Poy and Hanley.
Special Officer Demorest, brother of D.
L. Demorest OF the Board OF Public
Works, captured the men and took them
to the city Jail. They will be tried for
obtaining money under false pretenses.

w. G. 7. U. COLUMN


The w. G. T. U. Of Aberdeen has made
a slight departure from its usual order
and decided to give one meeting in each
month to the mothers Of the city without
regard to whether they are members OF
the union or not. Every mother is cor
daily invited to attend and no effort will
be spared to make the meetings pleasant
and profitable for all. On Friday, June
II, the first OF these meetings will be held
in the Presbyterian church, at 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon. The following
partial programme will give some idea of
the trend of the meetings:
1. Opening exercises, conducted by
the presidento of union.
2. Reading Of scripture and remarks
by leader.
8. Distributing Of blank question slips.
4. Reading Of selections.
5. Seven to ten minutes essays.
6. Thirty minutes for free discussing.
Z. Answering questions.
Mrs. Haynes the superintendent Of this
department, has every qualification nee
essary to insure success, and will be sure
to make these meetings power for good
in our midst. We hope all mothers, but
especially young mothers, will take an
interest in this work. While aiding 9TH
ers we often CLEAN information or acquire
strength valuable to US in time Of need.
Let all be present.
The State Union w. G. T. U. will hold
convention in Fairhaven, June 81 to
"a, to which the various unions are ex-
pected to send delegates. The first eve
ming OF the convention will be devoted to
reports from the local unions by their
presidents or, if they are not in attend
ance, by one Of the delegates present.
The state president wishes all the unions
to vote on the choice OF a flower for a
state emblem and send the result to the
convention.

In commenting recently upon the
change in the boundaries of the commits
sioner districts, the Vidette says 1t was
done ito conform to more equal divi-
sion OF the vote Of the county," An ex-
animation of the last vote of the county
will not bear out this statement. The
precincts now comprised in the first dis
trict then polled AS votes; the second
district ,O53 votes; the third district At
votes, showing clear majority Of 131 in
the second district over the combined
vote of the first and third districts.
Under this state of affairs it is evident
that the first and third districts can have
no representation on the board that is
not agreeable to the wishes of the more
populous second district. While Chron-
icle has no particular objection to this
partition on geographical grounds, or in
regard to the needs of the different local
tiles, it has decided objections to the
pfesent system of electing commissioners
which permits any section of any county
to absolutely control that county. 1t OBJ
jects to any governmental system, town,
county, state or national that tends to-
ward Capitalization (Which always tends
to bossism) We believe that the county
commissioner representing district
should be responsible for his official con-
duct to that district alone whose interests
he represents, with full knowledge that
his district has the power to condemn or
endorse his actions at the polls in every
precinct in his district. We should like
to see every candidate for the legislature
this fall pledged to the passage OF a law
providing for the election of commission
ers by their respective districts, and will
be grateful to the present board if their
new apportionment leads to agitation of
this matter to that end.-Elma Chronicle.

A MOoted Question.

Why some seals sink aud are lost
after being shot aud others float, is Q
mooled question not likely soon to bs
decided. Wnere they are struck OF
whether they have much or little blub-
ber, all of which have been urged to &C.
count for the anomaly, seems to hav,
little or no influence. 1t has been often
observed that a seal falling head dowL
on being shot will come up and float
while if the head is up he sinks aud u
lost. 1t may be that in the latter case
he more readily fills. With weak seal
or pups it has been seen that they, too
are often not recovered. or those that
are killed, discsrding pups, the chances
seem to be about equal as to whether
they will sink or float. Sometimes E,
considerable interval elapses before th'
dead body rises to the surface and hast
or carelessness may loose it. The grea
damage to the sealing industry lies uu
doubtedly in the indiscrimlnate killing
which lays low so many cows on thei
way to the islands, heavy with young
whereby two lives are lost. 1t is impos
sible to distinguish the female in tn
water, and che would not be spared wer
it possible to do so.-Detroit Free Press

wINTERlNG FRUIT WOOD.

Grapes can be grown even in the coolest
sections, il the vines are laid down on
the soil in November, 50 as to be COW
cred with snow, aud this is an easy mat.
ter with their plant stems.
Professor Budd says that peach trees
have been fruited in Iowa by using the
same preservative means. Their stiff,
branchy nature i'll adapts them to lying
down, but this difficulty, as explained in
the Rural New Yorker, is overcome by
reducing the young tree to a single bare
stem after one years growth. This stem
is bent fiat to the ground late in the fall :
the roots being bent or cut to make it
practicable. About five feet of the stem
remain permanently horizontal and the
point grows upward and is allowed to
branch; but chiefly in line with the pros.
trate stem, ard is staked to hold it erect.
In the next fall the top is easily bent
down to one side or the other aud held
fiat by billets of wood.
The Antwerp sorts of raspberry can bt
fruited with similar care TO let only the
or four canes grew in hill in summe
and to weight these down for the win
ter. 1t IS best not to cover any Of suct
laid down shoots with earth as, # mild
weather occurs before April, the frui
buds may swell and rot. A difficulty i
the case Of the beach tree is its tendenc,
to making rank growth late in summer
which cannot rIpen well. The bending
and training indicated above are Iikel,
to check this over production of sof
wood and to induce more Towering bud
and shoots. s-

OR-.Eyed People.

The most one-eyed people are fount
in Germany, and in some portions Of the
United States. In the former countrl
this ID probably owing to the sword
dueIs so common among German stu
dents when the faces Of the combatant
get terribly SCARED. In the Upitet
States, which contains the rough ele-
ments from almost every other country
qualrelling is frequent, and the gougipi
out of an opponents eye Is too common
an incident amongst the brutal portion
OF the population to attract much notica
when it occurs. An eye-maker calculates
that there ore 1886, 900 persons with only
one eye in the Republic. In proportioI
to the population, there are more one
eyed people in Paterson, N. Y, than il
any other town in America or any Other
country. Apart from eyes lost In duel
or rowdy fights, the great majority o
artificial eyes are used by workmen, es
pecially those engaged in iron toundrles
where many eyes are put out by th,
sparks which fly about in all directions
It is very rare occurrence to meet /,
woman having a glass eye.-Yanke,
