There was a man named Hibbs who
bought farm, built large, stately
dwelling at the end of a long, shady
avenue Of naples and settled down to
enjoy the comfort and independence Of
farmers life. He built a coy little
barn Of logs and shingled it with clap
boards.
There was another man Of tho name
of Hubbs who bought a farm in the
same neighborhood, built coy little
dwelling Of logs, shingled it with clap
boards and settled down to the hard,
grinding monotony of farmers life.
This man Hubbs built large, stately
barn at the end Of long, shady avenue
Of naples. At the end Of ten years
Hibbs' big house had broken him up, and
Hubbs' big barn had enabled him to buy
Hibbs' stately dwelling for about half
price and move it over on his own farm.
Hubbs has big dwelling and big
barn and represents his county in the
state legislature. Hibbs has little log
cabin and little log stable and is try
ing to sell out to Hubbs. He wants to
quit farming and travel with a peddling

''Let me OFF at Thirteenth street, con-

fare on Broadway car at Cortlandt

The car was packed. the place Just two

get on and of, half hundred stops were
to be made and something like half to
three-quarters Of an hour would be con
sumed before reaching Thirteenth street.
Yet this woman, who bore evidences
of more than ordinary intelligence in
her face and from her easy self assur-

take care Of herself, expected the con
ductor to remember her request and to
put her off at the right street.

An Era Of Unmarried Women.

Susan B. Anthony is of the opinion
that we are on the verge of an era of un-
married women. Our civilization, she
says. is changing. Daughters cannot be
supported at home. and there is nothing
there to busy them. The women used to
spin and weave, make carpets and soap,
but now all that is done for them in the
factories Young men do not make
enough money to support their wives.

among them that the women would

His second Inauguration, in Philadelphia,
Monday, March A. 1898, presented an al
most ludicrous contrast. He took the oath
in the senate chamber in the presence of
both houses Of congress and made brief
address, and if anythingvinusual occurred
the journals of the day failed to mention it.

ans on Saturday, March 4, 1907, particu-

JEFFERSON being such conjunction
only six times in the first two centuries of
the governments existence, or once in
thirty three instead Of once in seven years.
But little less curious was the result Of
the meeting of the first congress in 1889.
As six congresses convened in the last cen
tury and the seventh in 1901 it results that
the calculation as to the number of any
congress turns on the alleged "unlucky
number''-l3 Thus, to determine the num-
Der Of any congress, add thirteen to the
year it first convened and divide by two
the quotient is the number of the congress.
Conversely, double the number Of any con
gress and substract thirteen, and the re
mainder will be the year it convened.
Ninety-one and thirteen are 104, the half of
which is fifty -two-the number of the pres
ent congress. For the next century add
lib, and so on.

dents, but nineteen were formally inaugu-

WantesI a Good Cow.

A young couple were giving up city

and tmonopolists" or ''cranks" and ''Adul-
lamites," but it is chiefly Piekwickian. In
1900 they really believed it. So when JEFF
ferson was elected by the house on the
thirty-sixth ballot and after desperate
struggle deep groan ran through the Fed
eralist party, and Adams left Washington
early in the morning of March 4, 1901. This
bad example was followed by his son in
1920 and by johnson in 1863.
1t is rather singular there should have
been SO much dispute about the facts of
Jefferson's inauguration 1t is clearly
proved that lie intended to go in the usual
state, with carriage and six horses, but
the carriage ordered was not completed in
time, Adams refused the courtesy, as afore-
said, and SO Jefferson, the attendant mar
shul and few others made the little trip
on horseback. His second inauguration had
more style about it. On Saturday, March 4,
1903, Madison took the oath in the hall Of
the house, and the only fact about it which
excited much comment was that he was
clad in q suit of elegant black cloth en-
tirely OF American manufacture"
