sAli railroad presidents ARE not

had been down East attending the
conferences on the rate Situation,
says the Chicago Post. II saw Ghaun-
cey Depew do a thing the other day
which should cause you newspaper
fellows to hold him in grateful re-
membrance for ever and ever" One
morning, just as one of the most i'm
portant conferences was about TO go
into session, a card was stuck into
his hand. 1t had been sent ip by a
reporter Of the Evening Sun. Chaun-
cey never refused to see newspaper

"'Show him in, he said to the
messenger who brought him the card.
"'Well, sir, what can / do for you?'
he remarked as suavely as imaginable
as the reporter entered. He was a
young fellow, looking as though he
had just left school, but stated his
business quite intelligently.
"'Well, now look here! 1t Is now

pains to see it, and 1t seemed to him
to be complete photograph Of what
had been on his mind while he wSs
talking. He at once sat down and
wrote to the managing editor COM

work. Next mail brought him a let

A Montana Bear Story.

Montana is geological garden in
its native state" said Colonel Jim
Struthers to a "Star" man last night
at the Arlington. "We have all kinds
of wild beasts, from grizzly bears and
prairie dogs down. Speaking of bears
reminds me Of once upon time. 1t
was before the State got polluted by
the trolley, and when it wasn't good
form to wear collar. 1t was before
Montana got to be the greatest State
in the Union. / was prospecting
away in the Bull Mountains. hadn't
seen any dirt that looked as though it
had the right ring to it. The sun
was turning in and shadows were
coming out Of the east. / took the
pack off one Of my horses, picketed
the animals, and made a supper of
hot coffee and bacon and bread. Then
l coiled up in blanket and knew nc
more. The night was about half
spent, when l began to dream that
l was washing my face in one Of the
geysers of the Yellowstone. The
sensation became so realistic that l
cwoke. A hot breath. was breathing
on my visage, and a strange tongue
was swabbing me down. 1 was sort
of dazed with fear, and remained
perfectly still. Presently the licking
process ceased and the hot breath was
withdrawn. A big, dark, awkward
something shambled of, and l sank
to rest once more. When day came
1 found that my provision box had
been raided, and the soft earth
around me was full of bear tracks.
l shivered little bit, and moved on. I"
The Colonel told this as though he
really wanted 10 be believed, and the
reporter left. Washington Star.

A Great European Canal.

The Corinth Canal has not been often
mentioned in the European papers and
Bourses since its opening. 1t locks as
IL the Hellenic Company was not salts
flea with the receipts from the tolls of
its waterway. But this would be a
wrong view of the enterprise, for 1t
could not BE- expected that the mer-
chant marine would suddenly change
its habits and use the Corinth Canal.
The principal object to be desired in
an undertaking Of that kind has been
gained 1t was to prove that this new
waterway was safe and we'll built This
has just been demonstrated by the sue
cessiul passage through it of an Italian
man-of-war OF great draught, coming
from Trieste, bound for the Levant.

CpIy Winds.

The most pernicious winds are the
samiels. or hot winds, OF Egypt.
They come from the deserts to the
southwest and bring with them in
finite quantities of fine dust, which
penetratcs even the minutest crevice.
The thermometer often rises to 1875
during their continuance, and thou
sands of human beings have been
known to perish from suffocation In
the fiery blast. 1t was one OF these
samiels that destroyed the army of
Sennacherib. Alexander the Great
nearly lost his whole force in another
and the army, OF Cambyses was ut
terly annihilated.

THE weak point In the testimony
of the man who claimed before JUS
tice Blume, OF Chicago, that he
owned a disputed goat by alleging he
brought him up on a bottle was the
presentation of the bottle in court.
The idea that the animal would not
have eaten the bottle after drinking
the milk was so ridiculous that the
goat was given to the other man, who
claimed to have picked him up dere-
lict on the pewawee, a pronunciation
OF prairie that Is humbly commended
to the folklore societies as rich In hid
den ph logical significance. Great
and novel theories of the origin Of all
ANIMALS, including goats and men,
have been built on less basis than may
be contained in that.

IN THE Argentine REPUBLIC.
REMARKABLE STIMULATION OF THE

HEAVY ADVANCES IN THE MARKETS

Trade With America Expected to Reach

The Argentine minister and the Free
Press seemed TO be particularly Joyful
over the effect of the German tariff
law on the wool industry OF the South
American nation. The industry there
was greatly stimulated; thore has come
a great advance in the markets there;
thew expect to send six million dollars
worth of their wool 10 the Onltcd
States this year TO displace just that
much of the product Of our own farm
ers This great good to the Argentine
people is in consequence of their add
ing the duty they had to pay under
the Mckinley bill to the price OF their
wool
Under the Mckinley bill this differ
ence in price was paid into the I. >.
treasury by the Argentine wool grow
ers. Under the new tariff law 1T IS
paid by the American consumer and
goes into the pockets of the Argentine
wool grower.
This is bully fun for the Argentine
Republic. but hard on the American
republic. The average American citi-
zen had reason 10 believe that congress
was legi,lating for this republic and
not for the Argentine Republic
The Democratic party will carry
the Argentine Republic bv large
