leaders IN espousing the Populist cause.
The sensible women Of the country, are
no more in fuvor of Populism than are
the sensible men.
Brooklyn Times (Rep:: One of the
most interesting features Of the campaign
IS the active interest that has been taken
in it by intelligent women. This has
been most conspicuous in New York this
year, as it was in Brooklyn last year,and
the fact shows that the women of to-day
aremore intensely moved by questions of
civic administration, where every house.
hold interest suffers directly by bad adj
ministration, than by questions of State
and National policies. This is natural
and it is right. 49,.
Denver Republican (Rep): Tuesdays
elections have shown one thing beyond
the faintest shadow of doubt, and that
is that women are capable of exerting
powerful influence for good in political
matters. Largely, if not entirely, the
rescue of the State is due to the infu-
ence and the votes of women. In New
York the overthrow of Tammany is the
result of a protest made by good women
of that city against the corruption of
police system which levied blackmail
upon nearly every business and enterprise
whether legitimate or illegltimate. In
Colorado equal suffrage has been justi-
fed by the way the women voted.

you so, and advise you against spending

will cule you, if you place your case in
their hands. Of this you will be best able
to judge after you have seen them and
heard their opinion.

colleges of the world and licentiates of
sixteen states. They have devoted their

A LION ON THE LOCOMOTIVE.
He Was Only Mountain Lon, but Nobody
Disturbed Him

He Was Only a Mountain Lon, but Nobody
Disturbed Him.
Last winter when the snowstorms were so
fearful throughout the mountains in Utah
and the earth was covered with snow to the
depth OF five to ten feet and remained hidden
so long the wild animals were forced to des-
peration, says the Detroit Free Press.
The wolves were starved and weak, and
what is known as the mountain lion, almost
perished from starvation. its great strength
failed it, and man with a knife could soon
take the life OF an animal that short time
before could hold powerful horse or OK and
make a meal OF mis- flesh.
The hungry animals after awhile discov-
cred that food was to be had along the rail-
road track, where passengers threw bones
and scraps of victuals from passing trains.
Often two starving coyotes would engage in
deadly combat over chicken bone that had
short time before been ridden of its last
vestige of nourishment by some economical
person who did not care to pay Is cents for a
meal. This was the condition of things.
Engineer Cast had charge of engine No.
Isl. which was known as the "helper.n from
the fact that it helped trains up the mountain
and when at summit cut off and dropped
back down to the bottom ready to help
another One night when business on the
road was slack, Cast noticed something
wrong with the gearing under the tender
and remarked to the fireman that they would
get of and repair it, When half way down
the mountain side he brought the engine to
standstill and the two men went to work at
what proved to be twenty minutes job pack
ing hot box on the tender. The tallow pot
was left at the boilers head
After completing the repairs the men were
mounting the engine again. only to see q
huge mountain lion devouring the tallow and
holding full possession of the engine cab. 1t
was cold night and the snow drifting. The
men had already remained outside until they
were very cold. and tho chances OF dtspos-
sesslng Mr.. Lion were very meager, as he
snapped his teeth and flashed his eyes and
fast stored the tallow out of sight.
The only consolation the men had was that
the tallow would not last long at that rate
and even this thought was not entirely satis-
Tying, as they had no way of determining
that one ofthem would not go the same way
at the conclusion of the tallow feast. Finally,
after fifteen minutes further delay, the taliow
pot was empty, and, giving a growl, as much
as to say, 81 am very thankful, gentlemen.
and you ought to be. the animal leaped from
the cab and disappeared in the hills.

Found What He Wanted.

DR.. McTavish, of Edinburgh, was some
thing OF ventriloquist and it befell that he
wanted lad to assist in the surgery who
must nscess arily be of strong nerves. He re-
ceiyed several applications and when telling
a lad what the duties were, in order to test
his nerves, he would say, while pointing to a
grinning skeleton standing upright in
cerner: Part of your work would be to feed
the skeleton there and while you are here you
may as well try to do so.'
a few lads would consent to q trial and re-
celye a basin Of hot Cruel and a spoon.
While they were pouring the hot mess into
the skull the doctor would throw his voice SO
as 70 make it appear 10 proceed from the jaws
Of the bony customer and gurge out: "Br-r-r-
grub. that's hot.
This was too much and without exception
the lads dropped the basin and bolted
The doctor began TO despair of ever getting
a suitable helpnate until a small boy came
and was given the Cruel and spoon. After
the first spoonful the skeleton appeared to
say, "Gr-r-r-uh-r-br, that's hotI' Shoveling
in the scalding Cruel as fast as ever the lad
raped the skull and impatiently retorted:
We'll, blow it, can't yer, yer ould bonyi''
The doctor sat down in his chair and fairly
roared, but when he came to he engaged the
lad on the spot.--Tit-Bits.

WANT TO KNOW" AND "Do TELL
Used by the "Daoun East Yankees to E
rraSc Gnrpriea

Used by the "Daoun East" Yankees to Ex-
press Surprise, Etc
The caricaturist and the comic writer have
long since joined forces to make fun of the
curious Yankee, male or female, who wants
to know They depict him-when it is a
him-as hatchet-faced countryman with
stringy hair, who punctuates rustic CONVEX
sation with the excamations, ''Want to
know!" do tell!'' emitted with an accom-
pany1ng whistle and feet elevated upon
piazza railing, says the Youths Companion.
They depict her-when it is a her AS
lean, sloping-shouldered scant-gowned wo-
man, with tight pug of hair and an inquisi-
tive lift of the eyebrow, who interjects the
same eXclamations into a sewing circle dis
cussion OF Abby AIMS weddin' fixin's, or
Sarah Adeaide's new furnitoor. They sug-
gest an obvious inference that only the ex-
tremely rustic the ignorant, the over-inquisi-
tive, the trivial-minded. could use such
phrases, long strangers to ears polite.
Elegance of language is of course desirable,
but there is a certain up-to-date crispness
and alertness of tongue apart from elegance
which have force and spirit that are also
occasionally admirable.
81 want 10 knowl' and "Do tell!n excama-
torily employed are neither elegant nor mod
ern. Yet sometimes in face OF the present
people who should know better one is tempted
not only TO defend these old-fashioned rustici-
ties of speech. but 10 suggest their extension
to more fashionable society rs substitutes for
the latest importation of meaningless inter-
jections.
These phrases are not meaningless. They
express an awakened interest, as well rs a
civil invitation to a speaker to continue.
They are the intensified American version of
the accepted and historic Hear hear" of
Great Britain. They are characteristic of our
national temperament. They are the root of
our success.
As a nation we want TO know; and when we
want to know, we request whoever knows al
ready TO tell. He does tell and we profit by
the telling. Why be ashamed of il?
Ii is related that teacher ia philosophy
once said to an anxious young student whom
he was examining:
''Sir William Hamilton makes the remark
that wonder is the mother Of knowledge
Now, sir, speaking on your own account.
what should you consider as the mother OF
Wonder?'
Ignorance, sir, suppose, suggested the
youth. dmidly.
VERY good" replied the examiner. ''and
that being so, what relation is ignorance 10
knowledge?'
Still more timidly the boy answered:
Grandmother, sir.

CRESCENTS WERE EASY.
Cornell Boys Did All Their Scoring in the
First half.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 6.-About 5000 people
were at Eastern Park this afternoon to see
the football match between Cornell and the
Crescent Athletic Club. In the first half Cor
nell played about all OF its regular team and
seemed TO be able TO do about as it pleased
with the Brooklyn eleven. Without taking
any chance Of iniuring the men, Cornell
went around Crescents sides. and Beecham
made three touchdowns and Dyer one, from
which Oil kicked three goals.
In the second half Crescents changed their
line at center and Cornell sent practically a
substitute eleven against IT. No scoring was
done in the second half and during the whole
time the ball was in the middle of the field.
Score: Cornell, %; Crescent. 0.
Touchdowns, Dyer, Beecham 90. Goals
from touchdowns-0hl (3). Long runs
Beecham, 100 yards: Dyer, 35 yards; Starbuck,
30 yards, and Steinacher, So yards.

A Summer Day Mystery That Was Quickly

a Summer Day Mystery That Was Quickly

Passing leisurely the other day" said a
stroller to an exchange reporter. ''along an
uptown street in district where truck gar
dens are here and there found, came upon
one in which. not far back from the fence.
spray was rising fountain-lIke from anoZzle

drought had been broken and the groHnd was
dry. dusty and parched. The fountain bad

tables. and it could be shifted about until ali
had been watered. Incidentally. on that hot
dry summer day. the playing OF the fountain
was pleasing 10 the senses, and l halted and

spray burst forth with all its former glory,

look along the line of the hose for the source
of the interruption.
Fifty feet further back in the field, sitting
in the thick dust, with his legs stretched out
straight on the ground in front Of him. was
boy OF maybe six years. The hose ran across
his legs. and his hands were resting upon it
just outside his legs. The stretch of hose be-
tween his hands was about two feet in length
When he was simply holding lightly upon the

normally; but when. as you saw him do now
he grasped the hose firmly and began to
bring his hands together. bringing them
nearer and nearer. and looping the hose up
in bow over his legs as he did so, bring
them closer together, with the flow of water
steadily diminishing as the bend at the top
of the loop grew sharper, until he had brought
them quitetogether and made Il break or bend
in the hose so sharp that it practically shut
off the water altogether, why, then you knew
that you had solved the mystery Of the inter-
mittent fountain. and when YOU saw him re-
garding you with sort OF good-humored
shrewdness and with hali-suppressed smile
upon his face, indicative of his own intense
enjoyment, you smiled with him, and you felt
that the very vegetables themselves, dry and
parched as they were, would have smiled at
