HIS VIEW OF THE THING.

Tho Little Girl Escaped, but He Was
Battered Into "A State of Reckless Ruin
The wheelman who was scorching
through Washington Park rounded one
of the curves just as a little girl about
4 years old started to run across the
road in front of him, says Chicago
Tribune. He set his teeth, turned his
bicycle sharply to the left, and flew out
of the saddle in one direction. while
the machine went tumbling in another,
the little girl escaping by a hairs
breadth.
you careless brutev exclaimed a
shrrp-voiced matron, who came run
ming up. you monkey on two wheels!
What do you mean by racing about tho
park in this daredevil kind of a way?
Haven't you got any consideration for
other folks? Don't you know you're al
ways liable to run over somebody. Do
you want to scare people to death?
Some people haven't got the sense they
were born with. If had my way about
it, I'd stop this business mighty quick.
You might have killed my child"
Eyes, ma'am, b" replied the young man,
who had gathered himself up and was
making an inventory of his damages.
But l didn't She got off without a
scratch, while I've got skinned elbow,
a bruised knee, a sprained ankle, and a
lame shoulder. There's a piece of skin
as big as a half-dollar gone from the
palm of my hand, my hair is full Of
dirt, I've ruined a suit of clothes, and
it will cost me SIS to have the machine
mended. If I'm not kicking ma'am,
don't think you ought to kick"
He picked up his broken bicycle, put
it over his shoulder, and limped slowly
away in the direction of the nearest
repair shop.

SCORE ONE FOR MRS. BLOoMER.

Dragoons' Song In "Pntlence'
A prominent woman suffrage advo-

Press representatives DO you know
that w. S. Gilbert, who wrote The
Mikado,' 'Pinafore,' Patience and
those other comic operas got his idea
for a song in Patience from a woman's
suffrage advocate who was active in
New York forty years ago?
THE song is When l first put this

heavy Dragons, with a Yes, Yes,
chorus, and is one of the prettiest
things in pretty opera. Well, when the
bloomer fashion was first brought into
notice, in the flfties, Mrs. Bloomer wore
the garb, and some one wrote a song
that was supposed to be in her words,

when Gilbert wrote the libretto he
saw there was a good opportunity in
this song. So he wrote new words
and Sullivan wrote the music, retaining
the old refrain.
This is the truth, but do not think
it is generally known.

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLIsM.

A DISPATCH from Washington un-
der date OF November II, states that
in the case of John d. Shivers versus
the United States, the supreme court
decided in an opinion handed down by
Justice Brown that lands entered un-
der the homestead laws are not by
the mere act Of entry so segregated
from the public domain as to give the
homesteader right to sell timber
from his entry and that in doing so
he renSlered himself liable to criminal
prosecution. II enforced this decision
will practically stop all work in the
timber line in the north part of this
county, as scarcely any of the lands
are patented, and in consequences de-
velopment and improvement will be
greatly retarded. 1t will be great
drawback to the settlement Of the
timber districts OF this county, be-
cause most settlers who locate on this
land have not the means to build homes
and clear strip Of their homestead
for cultivation, and can get start
in no other way than by selling some
timber. The decision is very unjust
to this class.
TIMES are improving slowly but
surely. 1t is true that money is about
as scarce now as it ever was. which is
due no doubt to SO much being sent
out of the country topay up old debts.
This may be taken as a sign of return
ing prosperity. People are paying up
old debts and contracting fewer new
ones. Confidence is thus being grad
ually restored and values are becom-
ing more steady and fixed. Money
will be almost as scarce an article
this winter as last. but times are i'm
proving and after short period mon
ey will again come into circulation
through the proper channels.
TAXES for the year 1895 are now
due and unless paid before the first
Monday in January, 1896, will be-
come delinquent, when 3 per cent.
will be added thereon and 6 per cent.
will be added If not paid after the
first Monday In March and prior to

be provided by law besides interest at
the rate Of II per cent. per annum

THE BOOTS CANE HIGH.

But the Opera Boufe Singer Exhibited
Them Before the Court.
There is some talk now of the intro
duction into the burlesque shows Of the
year Of the somewhat celebrated scene
Of Miss Madeline Shirley's trial before
Judge Stiner, in which Lawyer Town
send and n number Of other prominent
legal lights figured. 1t was one Of the
most remarkable instances OF court ex-
perience in New York, and it offers
great opportunities for effective stage
pictures. Miss Shirley, who is an opera
bouffe singer and burlesque artist was
sued by theatrical shoemaker for some
high boots, slippers and other footgear
which she had ordered when she was
playing Robinson Crusoe" in Philadel-
phia. She refused TO pay the bill on the
ground that the boots did not MT, and
she put them on in court before Judge
Stiner.
The judge is nearsighted and is n
man Of great sincerity and earnestness.
The only question before him was wheth-
er the boots fitted or not, and as the
burlesque actress pulled them ON and
thrust her foot out for the judges opin-
ion he hovered about her, felt Of the
toes Of the boots, noted where they were
too small or too large around the calf Of
the leg and entered into the spirit Of the
occasion with such earnestness that the
entire courtroom was thrown into
amazement Miss Shirley capped the
climax by pulling on a pair Of tights in
court. and rolling them down showed
the judge and lawyers how she had &c
improvise pair Of Robinson Crusoe'
boots 80 as to be able TO play her part
successfully. AS the judge knelt ON the
floor before the burlssque actress and
critically examined the tights and the
/ improvised boots Mr.. Townsend, who.
by the way, was the attorney for the
/ plaintiff, stood hugging himself with
