How a Chicago Tsandlady Subdued One OF
Mr.. Yerke's Autocrats.
8S The 1andlady was not at the head OF
the table as usual in a north-side
boarding house the other night, and as
a, consequence the boarders We're get

Just tossed upa copper on his chance
OF finding a strawberry in his piece of
short-eake, when the landlady came in
considerably out of breath A hush,
Immediately fell upon the company,
and they began to eat gratefully what
was provided for them. Ssa
The landlady had been delayed by
Mr.. Yerkes' cable cars and then Mr..
Yerkes' cable cars had been delayed by
the landIady was theEinformation she
managed to convey when she got her
breath The first part they were pre-
pared to believe and the last was not
improbable. It was sure to be a dra-
matte story, anyhow. They could im-
agine how she looked. She weighed
two hundred and fifty pounds, was five
feet nine and invariably wore beaded
dolman, a wide hat, trimmed with
magentaroses and carried an umbrella
There was legend that boarder had
once paid his board in advance up to
the end of the month, quietly left the
house and had a friend send an officer
to attach his trunks for an imaginary
debt as the quietest way of getting
himself and his belongings out OF the
house. was to be believed that she
had stopped cable car. 81

gray eyes still snapping from excite

along dared the gripman to pass me.
He stopped, but not until he was halt

These figures speak Tor themselves.
They demolish hundreds Of columns of
unjust and misleading par tisan com
ment upon the imports of the last few
months under the new tariff. Our res
publican friends have sought to de-
ceive by comparing the values Of re
cent imports with the values Of the i'm
ports in panic year, when trade and,
industry were depressed BY the opera
tion Of the Mckinley bill. The read

nerves and great nerve centers feed upon
the nutrltive material that is stored in

to recuperate, but when the system has
become too tired to appropriate sufi.
