PEOPLE IN GENERAL.

John Hope one of the prominent
characters of Edinburgh, who has just
died, hated to see boys smoking in the
streets, and so whenever he met a
Scotch urchin with pipe in his mouth
he would stop and lecture him on the
subject. Generally he finished his hon.
lily by purchasing the pipe and destroy
ing it in the boys presence. This method
of advancing the cause of the Anti-Tob-
acco League did not meet with much
success, as the boys usally invested the
money in new pipes and a further sup
ply of tobacco.

Besides being a Spectator in iron
aud lost several fortunes in wheat
speculation. He is a member Of the
Milwaukee chamber of commerce and
has been for the last five years. On
change he has always been regarded
as a reckless bull" and the local
dealers stood aloof whenever he show
ed his hand.
'SchelSinger never was a successful
speculator," said George Knowles. ''He
always went after wheat and almost
invariably stayed with the market
too long. Within the last two years
he has four times made from 100000
to 100000 at a clip, but every time
he has turned right around, got on the
wrong side Of the market and dropped
it all, together with more of his in
dividual funds. Schlesinger does not
know how to be conservative when
he tackles wheat, and he has never yet
touched any other cereal.
Ferdinand Schlesinger still holds his
floor privileges on the board but has
not been in any deals recently. All
his time and all the means he can COM
mand are required for his mining in
terests, which, as everybody knows,
are today in very desperate circum-
stances.
DR.. Palmer, Of the Oak Grove SAM
tarium, where f. t. Day, president Of
the defunct Plankinton bank, is being
treated, has written Sheriff Dunn that
Day is rapidly recovering, both men
tally and physically and that he thinks
the ex-banker will be able to come to
soon. At times, the doc
tor says, Day is considerably worried
about his financial troubles.

The little fire-proof dishes for serving
various entrees are growing in dainti-
ness and beauty. A beautiful set of
cream white is in the form of irregu-
larly f1uted bowls, the rims clouded an
inch deep with dull gold. each bowl
set in similarly decorated small plate
1t is wise in buying these sets to select
one without handles, and thus reduce
the danger of mutilation by their loss.

The dog bit him in the leg, drawing blood Mir Powell went at him with hoe and killed him at once. On putting the cows in the stable, he found five of the cows bitten about the head and nose.
