Il WMa CodAsA.

..Men are Just like FISH," observed the tall
oirl in gray, .sand I don't wonder that Mr..
Darwin thinks they are descended from
them"
II think Nj. Darwin only spoke of apes,
DEAR" mildly suggested the girl with the
eyeglasses" ,
how. l am 50 busy with the man of today
that / don't care to 60 back any farther; I'm
sure the poet was quite sensible when he
said that the proper study Of wcmankind is
man."
al think he said mankind DEAR
limited the girl with the eyeglasses.
The girl in gray turned 6ercely upon her:
"See here, Emily Marshmallow, you may
know all about apes, yes, and the height OF
the north pole, and-and lots of other un.
necessary thing, but you known as well as l
do that they won't do a bit of good with a
man unless he is examining you for a teachers
certificate; and precious little, then, with
the pair Of eyes you have in you head"
she ended up triumphantly.
stWhat was it about the fish, anyhow"
asked the girl with the eyeglasses, suddenly
interested in the subject,
s.The fish? Oh, l remember. Well, you
see, if you try tocatch them with a hook and
line they are to suspicious to bite unless you
lure them with a bright colored fly. But if
YOU 90 after them with a net and Just slip it
neatly over their heads they are easily
enough landed"
"oh!" blankly replied the girl with the
eyeglasses.
"M'hm. And that horrid Clara"
'.Oh, it's all about Clara, is it,"
at is. She is busy today deciding
whether to call him Wilfred or MIR. Sweetie
after they are married."
''But l thought he was quite as attentive
to you as he was to herr"
'.He was; but l used a hook and line,
Clara a net. He is gasping a little yet, but
he is safely landed. You see, Clara and l
had a discussion not long ago about the best
way to manage a man who kept calling and
calling-and saying nothing in part cular.
To decide it we wrote to the editor OF the
Young Lady's Chaperon; the reply was:
Refuse occasionally to see the young man."
"And did you follow"
81 did. Wilfred called the very day the
paper came. Clara happened to be with me
up in my W room at the time, and l sent
down word that he would please excuse me,
as l was engaged. Then what do you sup.
pose that deceitful Clara did,"
"Went down herself?"
.N-no. She suddenly remembered that
she had forgotten to post an important letter
and ran down the back stairs and over home.
Of course he went right over there. as the
sly thing knew he would, SO she just ran into
the back parlor, where he'd be sure to hear,
and sobbed; ooh, mamma, he-he has just
been over to see Eva again and-and she
wouldn't even see him, while l. Her
mother, being a widow, understood at once,
and said: Il don't know really what you are
talking about, my poor child. Mr.. Sweetie
is in the parlor.'"
"But how on earth did you find out just
how it ~happened?"
81 suspected something, dear, so fol
lowed close on Clara's heels, but before l
could get into the room the door had closed
upon her and that horrid mother of hers
took me upstairs to ask my advice about the
making over of an old gown.-Chicago

The Missionaries In China.

A Chinaman residing in Chicago has
received a copy OF q Chinese paper which
gives a new version Of the Outrages on the
mission stations. The Chinese version is
that the anger Of the natives was aroused
by the missionaries building houses with
Notwithstanding unheard of before In
China and the belief that in these base
ments they were combining stolen Chinese
children. And according to the Chinese
paper, children are actually ~stolen-not by
the missionaries. but by disreputable fellows
whom they hire as interpreters. 1t is said
that the only way the missionaries can
secure converts. and thus show that they
are doing something, is either to hire them
or kidnap them. Sometimes plenty of con-
verts can be hired, and they will remain
good converts SO long as they are paid.
At other times the market Is a little slow,
and SO the interpreters steal children,
usuallydgirls. n use them for their Own
purposes, selling them to prOcurerS after
they are through with them. The good
missionaries do not know that the children
are stolen: they are deceived by the tough
interpreters, who tell them q ~cock-and-bull
story about the girl desiring to become q
Christian aud her parents opposing her
wishes-hence the necessity Of keeping her
concealed. 1t is claimed that the purpose
OF the mob was not to hurt the mission
aries, but simply to drive them out and
kill their tough native hangers-on.
This narrative Is given in all seriousness
In what purports to be q respectable Chi
nese publication, and 1t should at least be
investigated by the missionary societies
In this country. Ii the money contributed
for missionary purposes in China Is being
used to hire converts, and II kidnapping of
children Is carried on under the eyes Of
the missionaries by men whom they en-
ploy. the whole missionary business in
that country becomes q farce and an out
rage, and the Chinese people can hardly be
blamed for their hostility to the foreigners.

Three Thousand Ballots taken at Ssnstor-
Lei C~onventjoa Held In Two Counties.
Three thousand ballots have been
cast in the Adair and Madison county
senatorial convention without result.
The convention Is In session In the

neither county would consent to its
being held in the other county. Hence
the chairman sits with q foot in each
county, and the delegation are divided

candidate, and w. II. Price, Of Winter
set, Madison county, the other.

Boomers and Their Uses.

"Say you do not believe in bloomers7''
said the new girl to the old-fashioned
woman.
~ do not" the latter replied severely.

womanly."
"Pooh!" exclaimed the new girl, in her
superior way. with such old fogies as you
there would b. no advancement at all. You
40 not realize the needs Of the new woman.
For some things bloomers are a necessity.
There are certainly a vast improvement over
the costumes usually worm"
"Wetl," admitted the old woman thought
fuily, possibly that is so. I, myself, can
think Of one place where bloomers might be
preferable to the costome in vogue"
":On the wheel, Of course.n

before she would wear such hideous things

SPINNING THE FARMERS.
Elevator Men ut the Head oft Lakes
Charged With Crooked
Work.

Elevator Men At the Head oft Lakes
Charged with cooked
Charges emanating fro Crookston
are to the effect that there is q scheme
on foot among the terminal elevators
at Duluth to skin the farmer in the
purchase of the present wheat crop,
and that a combination has been
formed for that purpose. The claim
is made that the grade has been
crowded down to an alarming extent
and that wheat which last year graded
No. / hard is this year graded No. 2
northern at the terminals. The di-
rect charge is made that the state in
spector at Duluth has dropped three
notches in his grades during the past
three weeks and that there are some
who consider the inspection is in the
hands of the combination. There is
no state inspector here, but the deputy
for the head of the lakes says that the
rules governing the inspection are the
same as prevailed last year. There is
nothing in the rules touching smut, he
says, out there is more or less smutty
wheat coming in, and although the
kernal is plump and bright and in all
other respects good enough to grade
No. l, it must get q lower grade it it
contains q particle of smut. The
elevators have nothing to do with the
inspection and all they demand is that
enough be locked to pay for cleaning.
Secretary Wyman, Of the Board of
Trade, and other grain men there, say
the claim is all ''rot" and look upon it
as a hold-your-wheat effort.

complained 10 the state board of rail-
road commissioners that the North

against Blunt in the matter of rates
on grain. The board notified Marvin
Hughitt, president of the Northwest
ern system, who in response admits
the discrimination, but practically
tells the people of Blunt, the railroad
commissioners, ETC., to 60 where it
beats ITO degrees in the shade-or is
supposed to at any rate. The gist, as
we gather, of Rughitt's letter is: ayes,

pealed to.
