a thrifty old farmer from T,oudopp

gress accompanied by his daughter.
an extremely attractive young woman,
1t was to be day of sightseeing

Tor holiday entirely to themselves.
The last point to be seen was the
capital and the couple after a hur-
ried visit to the other points in
terest about the great pile of marble,
found themselves in the house gallery.
The old farmer had been reading the
papers pretty closely, and he knew
what he was looking at as he cast his
eyes over the aggregation on the floor.
but the girl was thinking about some
thing else. At last she nudged her
father.

whisper, turning to her.

asked. after the manner of daughters

He looked at her a. moment, and then
at the crowd below.
What? One of them?" he said
scathingly, and taking her by the arm
he walked out of the gallery in a
hurry.

BEAUTY

Two Women.

Turned to Practical Account by
Two Women.
Atlanta Constitution.
The young men about town have two
new stories which they are repeating
to each other.
one is about pretty cashier and
the other is about a beautiful woman
who is frequently seen among the shop
pers on Whitehall street. One merit
of the stories is that they are strictly
true.
It's this way" said a young man
yesterday, 1.-The women are so con-
foundedly pretty that they hypnotic
the men. The pretty cashier always
gives back the right change except
when the customer happens to be the
sort of man who imagines himself q
lady-k1ller; then she losses it down
about a dollar short. She gives him
smile with his short change that is
worth 81. The man SMILES and though
he discovers that his change is shy Al
few cents, he never says a word. II he
did, why, of course, the young lady
would be surprised and would make it
up. But she's so shrewd that she never
men right every time, and not once in
hundred times do the men say word
They are tickled to death at having the
young lady smile on them so sweetly
and had rather give up the whole
amount than make a kick.
THE other woman is a professional
shopper, and she's a sumner in looks
She goes into a store and calls for
something-she never buys a costly
thing. The clerk brings out what she
calls for and displays it on the coun-
ter. She examines it and throws in
| bright remarks and makes eyes at the
clerk-in short, she gives the young
fellow to understand that she is dread
fully mashed on him. He feels like
hugging himself. The lady buys the
article, of course, and fingers a few
minutes to talk with the clerk after it
is wrapped up. Her smiles and her
eyes completely hypnotic, and after a
short time she walks out in an absent
minded way, having forgotten to pay
for her purchase. OF course the clerk
never says word. He just makes out
ticket and has it charged up to him
self. This lady never makes mistakes.
If she should happen to strike clerk
some day who was not susceptible to
mashes, why she'd simply look embar-
raised and say:
"How funny! Excuse my mistake
think of me forgetting to pay you. /
am so absent-minded"
But the clerks never give her an OPP
portunity to say that

A BUFFALO SAMSON.
Four Clerks Put Up N Job to Test
His Strength and Lose Their Coin.

Four Clerks Put Up N Job to Test
His Strength and Lose Their Coin.
Buffalo Cor. New York Sun.
The examining surgeons of the Sixty
fifth regiment, National Guard, found
a Samson this week. Among the can
didates examined was Bert Bartram,
a cartman, about twenty-five years
old. When he had stripped for the
examination he sat on a chair and
asked the physicians to stand on his
ankles. One stood on each ankle.
and then, apparently without any
great effort, Bartram raised his legs
until they stood like parallel bars, and
held the doctors in the air for two
minutes. Four Hebrew clerks in the
wholesale clothing house of Warner
Brothers & Co. found this Samson a
week earlier. They knew that he
prided himself on his strength, and
put up job on him. He gets the
wages of two men on account of his
great strength.
few days ago Bartram was deliver
ing some heavy cases at the clothing
house and lifted the cases on and off
the dray without the aid of skids.
One of the clerks pointed to a big case
on the floor and asked Bartram if he
could lift 1t. They told him 1t held
700 pounds of cloth. He offered to bet
that he could, and agreed to return
as soon as he delivered the other pack
ages on the wagon and do the trick
for them. When he was gone the
young men emptied the case, drove
four long nails through the bottom of
1t into the floor, and went into the Gel
lar and clinched the nails. Then they
returned the goods to the box and
waited for Bertram. He appeareu at
the appointed time, strobe over to the
case and took hold of it. 1t didn't
bulge.
Sure there's only 100 pounds in it?"
said he.
The four young men assured him
that that was all 1t contained, and
then offered to bet him that he could
not lift it. Bartram put up $40 against
$50 raised by the four clerks. Then he
removed his coat, fastened his big
hands on the case, gave a powerful
tug and the case rose in the air with a
cracking of timber and cloud of dust
Six square feet of the floor came up
with the box. Bartram pocketed the
| money and after reproving the young
men for. the attempted fraud went
| away. The carpenter bill of So was
paid by the crestfallen clerks.

TRUSTS AND COMBINES.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee.

tee.
The senate judiciary committee had
large attendance of spectators, and
red hot discussion upon H. F. 264, in
troduced by Mr.. Meilicke, to protect
the freedom of markets for food prod
ucts and grain, and to prevent restraints
of trade by combinations and trusts
organized to restrict free traffic or
sale of grain or other food products.
Mr.. Meilicke spoke forcibly upon the
merits of the bill, and said that an or
ganization has been formed, made up of
seventy-tWo elevator companies, for the
purpose of forcing all grain to go to
the city of Minneapolis. This he char
acterized as a conspiracy against the
formers and Independent elevators He
claimed that the elevator companies
have formed an organization within the
chamber of commerce, and make up a
powerful combination. In answer to a.
question by Senator Day, it was said
| that the bill would not wipe out the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce
| provided it wanted to do business upon
the American theory of freedom of
commerce. He illustrated by saying
that a savage would not walk while
the civilized people would use a rail-
| road. The elevators organized to take
advanced ground in securing any adj
vantage possible over the farmers.
Gen. Wilson, of Minneapolis, spoke
| against the bill, declaring it obnoxious
and incapable Of enforcement. Calling
| attention to particular phrases of the
| bill, he wanted to know how the Judi
ciary committee, as lawyers, could JUS
| tify the provisions of the measure The
criminal provision would not only ap-
ply to the persons sought to be reached
| by the author Of the bill, but would
| also apply to farmers urho would COM
| bine to hold their wheat from being
placed upon the market, or to restrict
the production Of grain or food product.
| He instanced the case OF the we'll
| known Hold your wheat circular.
sent out by Donnelly or Mr.. Mueller.
| who Mr.. Meilicke said had sent
out the circular. He claimed such bus
mess as the bill contemplates could not
be regulated as designed.
John w. Lane, of Minneapolis, spoke
in favor Of the bill. He declared loyal
ty to Minneapolis, and wanted it under
stood that many of the members of
the chamber of commerce Of that city
want the bill passed, because it aims at
well-known evil. He quoted from the

oers at once proceeded to have some
fun with Foss. Resolutions, motions
and counter motions were fired in with
such rapidity and upon such varying
interests that Mr.. Foss soon lost his
temper and his head at the same time.
After the confusion had continued for
about an hour, Speaker Van SAINT
called the house to order and rebuked
the members for their. boyish pranks.
Realizing that they. had carried the
thing too far, the members heartily
cheered the speaker and became lit
tie more orderly.
Mr.. Wright's blaeklisting bill was
taken up,amended out of all semblance
to its original self, and was recon-
mended to pass over the protest of it's
author, who declared he would not
father a measure which had been shorn
of all its virility. The fight over the
bill lasted two hours, and at 10 o'clock
after recommending the forestry bill to
pass, the house adjourned.

F., B. Kellogg addressed the COM
mittee on the subject claiming thes

also, commended that no complaint had:
yet been made against freights upon
ores to the railroad and warehouse:
commission and no one interested had
claimed the rate to be higher than it;
should be, except two foreign firms,
namely Carnegie and Oliver, of Pitts,
burg, and the reduction asked would
help them largely and not benefit a
citizen of the state to the extent of
one dollar.
He claimed one effect would be to
cut down the gross earnings tax to the
wages of employees on the roads. The
only persons interested in a reduction
of ore rates aside from the railroad
being the Oliver Mining company, of
Pittsburg of which Carnegie is a MEM

the gross earnings tax paid the state
by the "Mesaba'' road and the Du-
luth & Iron Range road from $4,000 to
$4,000, as it was last year. The tax
he said, would be much larger in the
future provided the rates be not re-
duced. He spoke Of the iron ore roads
being more expensive to build than
other roads because .uilt in a hilly
country. 1t had cost $4,000 a mile to
build the "Mesaba'' road, aside from
side tracks and terminals. The roads
in the iron country do little other
business and have to haul their cars
back empty. He also said that these
roads only haul ore in summer, and in
winter lose from $4,000 to $4,000 per
month. He called attention to the
fact that Lake Superior ore is used in
States, and it would be injurious to
the state to cut down rates when
foreign companies are the only ones
to be benefited, and at the same time
the state and her citizens would be
heavy losers.
G. S. Fernald, speaking for the
Northern Pacific road, said that while
not threshing over old straw, he de-
sired to say that the proposed reduc-
ton on coal would make a cut of
about one-half and would injure the
finances of his road. The road could
not afford to carry coal cheaper than
present prices. The road could not
afford to pay the present operating
expenses and wages to employees if
rates be reduced. He pointed out the
fact mat the railway commission may
be applied to for the purpose of cor
recting abuses and errors If any are
found in freight rates. ,sc.

Which Man Uses in Talking to
the Animal World.
Chautauquan.
The fowl call, Chick, chick, chick!
and it's variation, Kip, kip, kip! are
as old as the call to the cow, being
the Sanscrit kuk, the name of the do
mesticated fowl, whence cock and
Xix or chick, together with kip, chip
and chuck-words all clearly imitse-
ed from the note of the bird, which
in Sanscrit was kak, to crow or to
laugh, whence cackle. The country
housewife who says shoe to the tres
passer upon her kitchen garden or
flower pot, uses almost the same ex-
clamation that the ancient Greeks
used to scare away the fowls in
their day, which may be derived from
the Sanscrit su, to hurl or to drive.
No study of animal calls can leave
out the calls to the cat and the dog.
TO which the child, like it's primitive
ancestor, gives names initiative of
their notes.-the meow and the bow
WOW. The word puss is supposed to
be an imitation of the splitting or. as
the English say, the swearing of the
cat for which the Hindoo word is
phis. Kit is but variation of cat.
OF which kitten or kitty is the dimin-
utive, and scat is probably hist and
cat compounded and shortened. or
1t may be the Sanscrit skat, to scat
ter.
The dog, perhaps because of his al
ways having been given individual
names, and because of his almost
human intelligence, has no general
call nor particular word of COM
mand. Many different words are
contained in the dog vocabulary. of
