Put ON Trousers and saw the sights.


Miss Emma Wood, who claims to be
the daughter of wealthy Colorado
ranchman, was arrested in company
with n young man who said his name
was Frank Patton, and both were dressed
In masculine attire. The story of the
couple Is that they both reside short
distance from Denver and for the last
two years have kept company. When
Patton, who is employed on neighbor-
ing ranch, was sent to South Omaha in
charge of n consignment of cattle, they
thought IL an excellent opportunity to
give the old folks n surprise party by
making the journey an elopement rs
WELL The girl declares that they were
married by Lutheran clergyman be-
fore they left Denver.
They arrived in Omaha Thursday night
and devoted the next day TO seeing the
sights. The girl had often worn her
brothers clothes out on the ranch dur
ing a roundup and helped the men drive
up the cattle, and last night she declared
her intention of putting on one of her
husbands suits and going out to see the
town by gaslight. She assumed the
trousers, and the pair started down
Dodge street and visited one or two swell
resorts, after which the woman con-
cluded she had enough, and they started
to the hotel, but were arrested. They
were released today without being fined.

Tho HummIng of Telegraph Wires.

You have all heard the humming and
singing of telegraph and telephone wires
as you passed the poles along the streets.
No doubt you have concluded that it is
caused by the action of the wind ON the
wires and given it no further thought.
But it is not true that the singing is
caused by the wind, and if you are at all
observing you will notice that often the
humming sound is to be heard cold win
ter mornings when the smoke from chin
neys goes straight up until il lis lost in the
clouds, and when the frost ON tho wires
is as fuzzy and thick as roll of chenille
fringe.
The wind has nothing to do with tho
sound, and according to an Austrian
scientist the vibrations are due to the
changes Of atmospheric temperature
and especially through the action Of
cold. as lowering Of temperature in
duces a shortening of the wires extend
ing over the whole Of the conductor. A
considerable amount Of friction is pro-
duced on the supporting bells, thus in
ducing sounds both in the wires and the
poles.
When this humming has been going
on, birds have mistaken the sound for in
sects inside the poles and have been
seen to peck with their bills ON the out
side as they do upon the apple and other
trees.-Boston Journal of Commerce.

AN INDIAN WIND SONG.

The wolf of the winter wind is swift,
And hearts are still and cheeks are pale
When we hear his howl in the ghostly drift
As he rushes past on n phantom trail.
And all the night wo huddlc and fear,
For we know that bis path Is the path Of
death.
And tho flames burn low when hts steps arc
near.
And the dim hut rooks with his grave cold
breath.
The fawn OF the wind of tho spring ia shy,
Her light feet rustic the scrc, white grass.
The trees are reused ms she races by.
In the pattcring rain we hear her pass.
And the bow unstrung We cast aside
While we winnow the golden, boarded maize,
And the earth awnkcs with thrill of pride
To deck her beauty for fcstnl days.
The hawk of the summer wind is proud;
She circles high Mt the throne of ,ho sun.
When the storm is fierce her scream Is loud,
And the scorching glance Of here We shun.
And oftcntimcs whom the noon Is bright
A silence falls on the choirs Of song,
And the partridge shrinks in n Wild alright
Where q searching shadow swings along.
The hound of the autumn wind is slow:
He loves TO bask In the heat and sleep
When the sun through the drowsy haze bends
low
And frosts from the hills through tho star
light creep.
But oftcntimes he starts in his dreams
When the howl OF the winter wolf draws
nigh.
Then lazily rolls in the gold warm beams
While the hocking bir6st 10 tho south drift by.

Royal Relics,

A writer in la Vie Contemporaine"
has discovered that an old box in the lum-
ber room of the Louvre museum instead
Of containing archives, as was supposed
by many, is full of the relics of royal per-
sonages-jawbones, shoulder blades,
shanks, ribs and vertebr@. The writer
states that there are among them the
scapula of Hughes Capet, tho thighbone
Of Charles V, the shinbones of Charles
vi and Francis !, the vertebrm Of Charles
VII and Charles TX, the ribs of Philippe
10 Bel and Louis XII and the lower jaw
bono Of Catherine do Medicis. The au-
thenticity of these relics is, he says,
proved by papers also found In the box.

Emperor williams Defeat.

The defeat Of the German army bill,
from whatever point of view it is re-
garded, is very serious affair. In the
first place it increases, only little, per-
haps, but still increases, tho probability
Of war. The emperor, rebuffed at home,
cannot accept any kind of rebuff abroad
and will be far more sensitive than be-
fore about slight incidents and moro in
clined to believe that France or Russia
is taking advantage of his situation.
Moreover, Frenchmen will think that
tho internal struggle will weaken Ger
many, as it would weaken France, and
the hope Of finding n moment to fight
Germany when she is weak is exceeding
ly keen. Too much must not be made
of this danger, because the rulers of
France are much better informed than
her journalists and can see that decla-
ration of war would at once reunite the
German people, but still it exists and
must be recorded. In the second place,
it is probable that the rejection Of the
bill does leave Germany weaker than she
should be.-London Spectator.

Lady Hilda Mcneil, young Lord Strad-
broke's sister, who since her marriage
to n nephew Of Sir John McNeill has
been living at Rothley Grange, near
Loughborough, is rapidly recovering
from the nasty fall she lately expert
enced in the hunting field. Lady Hilda
is an accomplished horsewoman, and her
spill throws no discredit upon her as a
cross country rider. The accident was
the result Of cannon, another horse col

Miss Gizzelle Sikay, 10 years old,
daughter Of John Sikay Of Bridgeport,
died Sunday. She was to have been mar
ried to Henry Callopee. Miss Sikay had
just been trying on her wedding dress,
and displaying an opal pin intended for
the veil remarked to her bridemaids:
"Some girls think opals bring ill luck.
am sure this will bring Henry and me
nothing but happiness"
She deposited the pin in its case and
turned to rearrango the display of her
wedding gifts, when the muscles of her
face contracted and she was seized with
convulsion, during which she sank to the
floor unconscious. Her heart ceased to
beat in 40 minutes.-New Haven Regis

by the use of smoked glass can be seen

the wood with no possible means Of in

position must have been at least 80 or 60
feet up from the ground. There is but

down as law that the railroad compa-

10 times out of 20 they are by those who
know nothing of their subject expert

do talkl But If they'll only take little
hack at 1t in practical day in and day

ism means something else than spider

We have never known a case where
actual experience with book canvassers,
committees who want lot of free ad-
vertising in the editorial columns "for
tho good Of the cause, you know" ETC.,
ever failed to leave its impress of stern
logic. Those who presume ON the duties
and responsibilities Of journalism and
all that sort of pretty talk would see
some things at least little differently
