At the close of the business meeting the

dinner was served under the auspices of
the Ladies' Aid Society of the First Con-
gregational Church. The viands We're ell
lndt were HeeueI 10 plque tne taste OF the
fastidous, and the ease and freedom with
which all participated in the feast showed
plainly how we'll it was enjoyed The
beauty of the floral decorations reflected
the decorative judgment of the ladies.
Great beds of tulips blossomed at close
intervals on the board, and twining green's
added to the charm Of the time Following
the feast of meat came the flow of soul.
The subject of all the talks was 1.-The
Good Citizen in Municipal Affairs" Sena-
tor Manderson was the first speaker. The
Senator thought that many reforms were
needed. He believed that the time was not
so far distant when municipalities would
own the electric plants, their water works,
transportation service and other of those
things which the conservative socialists
earnestly desire. He believed that women
should vote. More intelligence was needed
at elections. Base the suffrage on Ameri-
can intelligence" said the Senator, with
strong emphasis on the word American
The times were full of troubles, trials and
disturbances, but he thought that every
thing would come out all right. and that
the present discomfort was simply like the

with hopeful eyes to that time when the
council chamber would be as orderly and
as hallcwed the church He could see

Justice Brewers Address.

Justice Brewer addressed the club on
the duties of American citizenship. adyo-
Gated woman suffrage because each woman
would vote twice; once for herself ard
once through her husband. 1t used TO be
formula of marriage, said the justice,
Tor the bride-elect to promise to obey but
he had yet to see the first couple where
the wife did not rule the husband He
spoke OF the anomalous position filled by
the District of Columbia in the political
world. But the reason for this Law in the
TACT that all the vast and mighty interests
at the national capital were not alone the
interests Of the District of Columbia but
OF the states. The greatest question of the
day was the correct management Of mu-
nicipal affairs. Some American cities were
the victims of acknowledgement. The riff
raft went to cities as naturally as a duck
TO water. Vice went where it was profita-
bic to go.
Prof Chickering gave his views as 10
what good citizenship should consist Of.
Mr.. ]. w. Somerville favored A pronertv
qualification. He thought that man
with property would vote more carefully
and take a more honest interest in public
AFFAIRS than would a man without prop
erty. Prof. Ewell told of the superior man
agement of certain English cities where
they assumed greater burdens than Ameri-
can cities of corresponding size. Mrs Ruth
u D. Ravens also spoke and told of now
glad she was that the cause of woman suf-
frage was making converts They felt as
much interest in public affairs us did men,
They stood on the threshold of wlliugn eSs
Try them and see how sacred they would
be to the trust reposed in them. Mr. T
r. Green thought that man who could
not read his ballot was not capable of co.
ing the part of an intelligent voter He
also said some strongly American things
about allowing some people TO vote too
soon after landing. Mrs. CrandaIl told
or certain points of superiority which
woman had over man. Rev. Mr.. Fish

Talking about snakes" said the
man who had worked as telegraph
lineman in South America, you
ought to see the sarpints they have
down there Me aud my partner ran
across q snake one day we was work
ing on the line and we thought at
first that it was log. 1t had just
eaten some big critter, for there was
lump In its body, and it didn't show
any moro interest in us than If we
were sticks We got big crate that
had come to the village near us, full
of dishes, and took it and bottle of
chloroform down to his snakelets.
1--WE knocked him out with the
ch.oroform, and after a good deal OF
work got him coiled up in the crate.
Then we carried the crate on a wagon
to the station with us, and took him
into camp on the train He walked up
the next day, but the cuss wouldn't
eat He just laid there and sorrowed,
and nary a bite would he take even of
. lamb we gave him In about two
weeks he began to look thin, but he
still kicked on eating, SO we put him
in his crate in an clubhouse and left
him for two weeks more. When we
went to look at him again he had
changed his position and was now
coiled around in such a way that he
could get his tail in his mouth. and he
had about a foot of it swallowed, just
to keep his stomach braced, suppose.
I'VE moved just after this, and we
took Nero, as we called him, with US,
carrying the crate In a freight car.
The car was an old one, SO we were
allowed to run it of on siding at
the station that we made our head
quarters, and here we left him while
we travelled inland to run a line. 1t
was a month before we got back, and
we both made a break for the car;
but, gosh darn me, would you believe
me, there wasn't more than foot OF
that snake left He had swallowed.
and digested about nine feet of him
self, and took off six inches more
before he died"

MAJOR WILLS TURKEY.

It Was Tame and Helped Hunt the
Wild Ones.
Tame turkeys can be trained to

ton. was offered 800 for him at
one time, but then thought he was a
phenomenal bird Sinco his death,

talent for hunting wild turkeys is not
uncommon among tame ones The
call of the wild fowl differs from that
of the domestic one, but the latter
can easily learn the formers calls, if
the hunter is patient enough to teach
him. The tame turkey can be taught
SO that he can be taken to the
woods, and will then send forth
the challenge call II a turkey
cock is within hearing an answering
note of defiance is invariably made.
This is replied to and finally the wild
turkey will come very cautiously until
he sees the tame one, as he is a sus-
picious creature. But when he sees
the turkey his fears are gone and he
starts at once to do battle. Then the
trained tutkey runs and the hun .er
shoots. The advantages of this
method of hunting are very great.
While a hunter can initiate a turkey
call pretty closely, thee is an accom-
paniment made by striking the ground
with the wings which cannot be re-
produced, and without this the game
is suspicious. The hunting turkey
must be taken in hand whom very

A Dime Stolen In 1857.

January IA. 1867. j. w. Smith, of
Oil City, Pa, was robbed of a pocket
book containing s14 in bills and four
ten-cent silver pieces, dated 1s41.
Silver was exceedingly scare In those
days, and Mr.. Smith, who was keep
ing the dimes as a curiosity, marked
each of them with his initials. He
had forgotten all about his loss, when
a day or two since at one of the gro
ceries he received dime in change.
The coin was old, and he examined it
closely and made the remarkable dis
covery that it was one of the four
dimes stolen from him over a quarter
of century before. The initials were
considerably worn, but are plainly
distinguishable Mr.. Smith is having
the coin mounted, and will wear 1t as
q scarf pin.

Lie Of a Locomotive.

The life of a locomotive is from
twenty to thirty years. Some have
lasted much longer, the Baltimore
and Ohio's old ''grasshoppers" for
instance, which were shown at the
worlds fair. They were built In 1898
and were used as switchers at Mount
Claire as late as last spring. OF course,
certain parts of an engine wear out
quickly and have to be renewed from
time to time, but the frame, the
boiler and the wheels are good for
many years of service. Perhaps the
high rates of speed at which trains
now run may shorten the careers Of
engines, but as the new machines are
built heavier and stronger than their
predecessors it is probable that they
will live" as long as those before
them.

Automatic MImIcry,

Four out of five children in a family
residing in Philadelphia, have devel-
oped rare gifts in automatic mimicrv
during tho early period of learning to
talk It is called automatic because
their faculty of imitation is exercised
chiefly during the hours of sleep. At
tention was attracted first to 2-year-
old's imitation of the wailinR morning
whistle; but supposing her to be half
awake, no further attention was
given to it until. during her afternoon
nap. she began to "burr" when the
sewing machine began, and stopped
when it stopped. Al night she would
mimic q neighbors dog when it
bsrksd, or q rooster Growing afar off.
Ascertaining frst tn IT she was sound
asleep, q hungry cat was placed under
her crib She mewed every time the
cat mewed. A frightened canary
aroused corresponding vocal sounds,
and little clock placed near her pill
low. caused her TO say "tick tick"
until it was taken away.

Is nothing but stone. and for four
years past the rats and mice infesting
the rife range in the basement have
looked upon him with aston shment.
The animal is now exhibited in one Of
the company rooms. 1t is hung up
with Silken cord, and has a silken bow
At the end OF its tail
A little over four years ago the cat
was the pet of the armory. 1t had
only one enemy, q colored marker in
the rife range. Tho marker wus in
the habit of chasing it from one com
pany room to another Once after
chasing the cat he cornered it, as he
thought, in the vestibule of the main
entrance, but it escaped from him
down the steps leading to the rifle
range He chased after it, but it dis
appeared. and its wherea bouts re-
mained a mystery until a few days
ago.
Two weeks ago it became necessary
to make some change at the rear of
the rifle range in the cellar. Back of
the target is an iron shceting and be-
tween 1t and the wall beyond is a
space of several inches. There it was
that Rats" met his fate. While
laborers were at work making repairs,
one of them saw a cat in a crouching
position in the space between the iron
sheeting of the rifle range and the
Armory wall.

calls he threw pick at it Still the
animal refused to bulge. 1t was then
dug out and found to be thoroughly

lice department, as well as in the courts.
Il is little more than three weeks since
the crime was committed and three of the

Is all the more gratifying because it has in
the past been almost impossible TO convict
criminals Of this class in Seattle.
