agent.
My mother-in-law She lowed she
couldn't. get through a car door. so l
drove nineteen miles over here with
the old woman's tape line, and sized up

That's pretty bad" said the station
agent.
The unfortunate son-in-law didn't an

Edison, Il Wizard, Has n Problem

One Of the objects of the visit of
Thomas A.. Edison, the inventor, to
Allentown, Pa, a day or two ago was
getting IDEAS for use in his new mag
netic ore concentration, which he eX-
poets will work Il revolution in the
iron business. He was also studying
the working of the furnaces with u
view Of %perfecting another invention
which he has on hand for the charging
of furnaces by machinery, by which
he hopes tn greatly cheaper the pro-
duction Of iron.
He has already introduced similar
machinery in his ore mines in New Jer-
sey, whereby the ore is brought to
the surface at Il small expense. III
talking of his inventions for the treat
ment Of ores and the operation of fur
naccs, he said he expected Don to be
able to place northern furnaces once
more in Il position to compete sue
cessfully With those in the South. BY
means of his magnetic concentrator,
he will take % per cent of ore, and, by
removing the foreign matter, convert
it into bricks that contain sixty per
cent of iron.-Philadelpbia Ledger.

After a Dinner.

A man who had just finished a CON-
Portable meal at a restaurant the other
day suddenly rose from his chair,
grabbed his hat and umbrella that
stood against the wall, and rushed
out Of the building,
"Stop him. exclaimed the cashier.
''That fellow went away without pay
ing!!"
"Il stop him." said a determined
looking man, who rose up hastily from
a table near where the other had sat.
HE took my gold-handled umbrella!
I'll stop him, and I'll bring him back
with a policeman! The scoundrel!'
Without a moments pause he dashed
out Of the house in hot pursuit of the
consciousness villain. And the cashier,
a cold, hard, unsylppathctic kind Of
man, has begun to suspect that neither
Of them will come back.-Tid-Bits.

in the st. Louis Globs-Dsmocrat
Of the Goth:
There are a number of people in
the city of st. Louis that would
like to make $4,000 in six months,
but they have lost confidence in
human nature. But the people Of
st. LOUIS have made fortunes in
western mines, from small invest

by using little judgment. I have
the richest placer gold prospect in

1t is claimed by those owning
gaming tables at Las Cruces, that
the new law lsvyisg a tax OF 5000
upon each table used fer gambling
purposes will decrease instead OF
increase the school tax; as it Is now
the ts- of S25 for three months per-
mits OF those hsying bat small
sums OF money to risk opening up
games, and hence the greater num-
Der Of tables. But with the 5000
tax, az there are but few that can
afford to risk their money and the
tax corn mbined, gambling will be
necessarily restricted, says the
Times, and where there are now,
say four tablss, whose yearly tax
amount to 800, it is doubtful if
there will bs one which can afford
to risk the 5000 tax and the eonss
qusnt risk of losses OF the play
