THE MOON WAS FOOLED.
A Mean Little Trick Played on That
Friend of Lovers,


The violet sky OF the night swung
low its starit arch over the sleeping
earth.
The lambert moon dashed with gold
the white road leading away under
the great trees.
There were strips OF light and shade
lying along the vista OF the overhang-
ing branches, and in and out among
these walked a couple.
4 man and a woman.
He was tall and straight. She was
by his side, OF fair proportions.
They spoke no word as they walked,
and the sweet summer air moved no
faster than they, and was still.
There was a twitter among the
leaves OF q bird in its nest, and a low
hum, as if the voices OF the night were
whispering to the stars and the
leaves.
A cloud came up from the western
sky and laid its mantle over the face
OF the moon, and the strips OF light
across the couples path Swallowed
away into darkness.
Then it was the woman spoke.
George" she said almost harshly,
where erstwhile all had been so sweet
and still
Yes, Martha" he replied in alb
stractiOn.
The woman spoke again.
We've got to get a new hired girl. +"
she said earnestly.
Il know it, Martha" answered the
man. land for the last half hour I've
been wondering where the dickens we
Coald find one that was worth aConti-
mental"
They were married.
And the moon lodged behind a wad
OF watery cloud and kicked itself Sc
verely.

n Rule of Domestic Econoniy

The first point of all to be decided
definitely is how much of the family
income should be spent for shelter.
writes Agnes Bailey Ormshee in the
Ladies Home Journal 1t is not unusu-
al to leave the settling of this important
point to chance. to a pretty house sud
denly found, or to the location Of
friends. No one wants the remem-
hrance Of his or her first home to be
clou1ed with bitter or sad memories
of financial disaster. and the first step
TO prevent this is carefully TO gauge
ones needs by ones income 1t would
not be possible TO say definitely how
many dollars ought to be spent. but
rule that is safe is not To use more than
One-foUrth of the family income for n

GETTING RID OF A GHOST.
The Owner Pulling Down a Block of
Haunted Houses In New York.

The Owner Pulling Down Block of
Haunted Houses In New York.
That superstition still has strong
hold on the average mind is frequent
ly illustrated in the history OF houses
made notorious by deeds of fatal
violence. Even in the crowded city,
according to the New York Press,
people often think they see and hear
ghosts in the place where some one
has met an untimely death under
mysterious circumstances. \ block OF
houses on Twentieth street, in this
city is being torn down, and a business
structure is to be erected, in part, it
is said. because q man leaped to his
death from one OF the houses O few
years ago. There has been ever since
great difficulty in letting the house in
question, and one tenant complained
that she was annoyed by groans and
rappings and scurrying oflnVlslblefee-.
1t was in vain that natural causes
were shown for the alleged disturb
ances. The tenant did not stay.
Adjoining property was affected by
the reputation OF the house, which
had once sheltered some ofthe proud
est families in New York. and the
owners decided to tear it down and
put business building where the
dwellings have stood. Ghostsdo not
take kindly to business. They have
never interfered with the sale of dry
goods or of boots and shoes. Perhaps
it is because there is little room for
imaginationin buying and sellingthese
DrOSaic articles.

Lower Wages Abroad.
American Economist.

I
Last week we referred to the lower
wages that are being forced upon the
wage carriers of Great Britain, instar3c-
/ ing case of between two and three
/ thousand employees in an iron and coal
company whose earnings had been cut
down ten per cent. The reductions
made IN our tariff not being so large as
the British manufacturers had expected
they evidently intend to take the diff
terence out OF the pay Of their workers,
for We find that the Welsh tin plate
manufacturers ''forasee a probable
necessity for cutting wages, in order to
meet the competition of the American
works, and in this case if there is. the
tin plate workers ought to be reason
able and consent to bear their share of
the burden"
Under the Mckinley Tariff many of
the Welsh tin plate factories were COM
PEELED to close entirely, but the German
bill has enabled them to start up, and
the Welsh workers are having a little
boom after their long spell of inaction.
They fear, however, that their ''Ittle
boom may not last, so they are pre-
pairing their poorly paid workers ITO
bear their share of the burden" bv
accepting still lower wages, which, if
accepted, must, of course, mean lower
wages for the workers in our tin plate
factories, If We are to continue to supply
our home market with American tin
plate.

TRAIN ROBBED.
1t is First Wrecked and Dyna-
mite Used.
Robbers Commenced a Fusilade of Shots
When the Train Was Wrecked-A
Brakeman Raced to the Nearest Sta
ton and Gave the Alarm.

Southern Pacific train No. 20 was robbed
at Roscoe station, ten miles out from Los
Angeles, Cal This is the place that the
same train was robbed about six weeks ago.
The train was heavily loaded with passengers
and the Wells Fargo company's shipments
were unusually heavy. The train reached
Burbank and reported back all right. At
Rosco, four miles north of Burbank, there is
no station, but a siding.
As the train approached the switch, Ergi-
neer Thomas saw, too late, that the switch
was misplaced, and vainly tried TO stop the
train, but he could not do it, and the engine
and two fruit cans went into the ditch, the
engine turning over.
AS soon as the wreck occurred the masked
men sprung up out of the bushes and com.
menced a fusillade. and everybody knew
that the mission of the desperadoes was rob
berry. few seconds later couple of dyna-
mite bombs were placed under the express
car.
The messenger refused to open the car and
the whole side was blown off
Brakeman Foster. az soon as he heard the
shots, made run for q neighboring rancho
house where he s1w light. Here he got a
team and drove back to Burbank and gave
the alarm.
Engineer Thomas jumped and ran, but
Fireman Masters who was pinioned between
the cab and tender, died as he was taken out.
