She folded the note and sealed IT with
her dainty monogram and addressed it
in her bold, dashing hand to "Dr. Wal

And then when the maid had taken
the letters to be posted, womanlike, she
rested her head upon her desk and
cried as IL her heart would break.
With those tears she washed away all
the ambition, selfish in its intensity,
that had compassed her round, and
when she raised her face it shone with
peace and humbleness as II "the voice

Origin of Hockey Pokey.


1t is an actual fact that old ice cream
is bought up by Italians and venders
from restaurants and ice cream stands,
frozen a second and third time, and
again offered for sale, to be consumed
by the newsboys and general public un-
der the alluring title of hokey pokey.
Almost every night these venders
make the rounds of all the hotels, and
buy up whatever has been left over
from the day previous. This cream
has all melted more or less to its orig
inal consistency and if 1t is still frozen
when they get ii there is little left but
fluid by the time it has reached Brook
lyn and the Italian quarter.
This melting process is the cause of
all the danger. Cream once having
been frozen and again melted very
readily turns sour. In this stage it is
poisonous. The vender of hokey pokey
cares little whether or not the cream is
sour. Quickly upon his return to his
quarters he freezes all this mush, and
packs it away for the next days use.
The few cases of poisoning that have
come to the public notice are in all
probability not the only ones that have
occurred, for physicians say that many
cases Of poisoning have occurred in the
districts where the hokey pokey ven-
ders are that could not be accounted
for, because of the suddenness of death.
1t has generally been understood that
certain establishments are putting out
large quantities of hokey pokey and
supplying the venders, but this is not
so. The Italians and their families are
the only ones who manufacture and
cater to the consumers.-New York

If the farmer sells his two bar
rels of corn to the distiller for five
dollars, he only realizes five do.
lars, upon which the government
puts fictitious value, making five
dollars worth of produce bring
forty-four dollars. It is estimated
upon a correct basis that one
bushel of corn will make tour gal
Ions of whisky, and it one bushel
will make fur gallons, then ten
bushels must make forty gallons, or
one barrel. Out of this forty gal
Ions the government fortyfour
dollars before the distiller or sa
loon man can handle it at al q
Then reasonable conclusion
would be that the distiller and So
loon man would each receive 50
per cent for handling, realizir 6
about eighty dollars from our five
dollars worth of produce.
Then suppose the farmer con-
cludes Gas many do that he WISHES
TO purchase a barrel of whisky that
was made from his five dollars
worth OF produce, and he consumes
it, what can it all be but waste
when it is consumed? The only
money realized goes either into the
hands of the government or the sa-
loon men, who sink it into the res
ular channel gong into the hands
of stock brokers or perhaps land
ing it into the vaults of the Bank
of England.
But suppose we change the
scene, and the farmer sells his five
dollars worth of corn to fatten
hogs or buy supplies. Then it
runs IN a channel that not only Is
not sinful, but helps his neighbors
and keeps up his merchant, who
uses it for other supplies, and thus
the commerce of the country is
kept up, and all are prosperous

N1ore rrainine ship. wantod.

1t is probable that an effort will be
made by the navy department to secure
an appropriation for two more training
ships for naval cadets. Vessels of the
Bancroft build and displacement are Of
great value in the service aside from
their usefulness as floating schools for
naval students. It will take probably
$500. 900 to build two vessels of about
1900 tons displacement, equipped for
use as training vessels. Constructor Hill
born has recommended that provision
for two such ships be made in the esti-
mates, and the secretary of the treasury
ia expected to add the items to the rec
concentrations which he will send to
congress. The vessels will not be
equipped with machinery, but with the
exception Of steam power they will be
modern ships in all respects.-New

Tho Famous "~POssibility" Has Exciting
Times on . Bicycle.
A poem in white is what Names big
congressman, Thomas B. Reed, might
flttingly be called when he is dressed i'll
his snow white sweater, all ready for a
ride on his glittering bicycle. The wheel
arrived last week and is a beauty. It
weighs but 20 pounds and vas designed
and made especially for MI. Reed. The
machine is constructed of the best ma
terial o~btainablo in the market and was
made unusually strong, us tho presiden-
tial possibility, after all his banting,
oven now tips the scales at 200 pounds.
The next question was what to wear
while riding tho bike, and ut last, after
much pondering, Mr.. Reed purchased a
white sweater. It is as white as the
driven snow, and it took enough ma
terial to make q bicycle suit, bloomers
and all. for some Of the winsome maids
here who ride a wheel. And it suits
Tom to a T, and now he would not
part with it for any amount Of money.
Mr.. Reed declares that it is much
moro difficult to ride a wheel than a
bucking broncho. The first of tho week,
while taking a lesson, tho big man
camo within an ace of indulging in a
bath in the briny deep. At Grand Beach
there is q gradual incline from the sea
wall to the waters edge. Mr.. Reed was
learning to ride and was quite near the
water. Ho vas doing remarkably we'll,
and the instructor released his hold OH
Thomas and told him to 80 it alone. No
sooner had he done so than the contrary
wheel started for the breakers at a 2 so
clip, with its rider powerless to stop it.
Never before had Nh. Reed ridden so
far without falling off, and to the on
lockers it seemed as though he would
certainly go into the surf. Ho shouted
for assistance, and his cousin rescued
him just as the wheel was OH the edge
Of the Atlantic. Lewiston Journal.

Before the departure Of Senator Hama

called the attention of Secretary Smith
and other ofticisls of the Interior Deprrt-
ment to the importance of ea,ly action
regarding tho lnntter Of the indemnity
land grant of the Northern Pacific rail
road. As the Department did not take
any action. Senator Nansbrough recently
wrote Secretary Smith a letter giving Il
!nll explanation of the entire c.se. stating
that there are in the State abont 9 100000
acres Of odd numbered sections falling
within indemnity limits of the grant, and
although over twenty years have elasped
since the giant was made, only something
like 100000 have been patented to the
company, and IN addi,itionnl small area

patented To individual claimants under
The r,iuIic land laws. The result is. that
for AL EXTENDED period. this tremendous
body of land has been practically with
drawn from settlement and State taxation
to the injury OF the State. The State has
undertaken tc tax the railroad company
for In,d. by its selections, but courts have
