This story is told of a woman who
has recently come to live in New
York and whose beauty has brought
her into considerable notice. Some
years ago her husband, who had
been drinking n good deal, became
in consequence irresponsible. 1t was
deemed advisable to confine him
temporarily in a sanitarium, Here
his physical condition grew rapidly
worse, and one day his wife received
q hasty summons to what was said
to be his deathbed. The lady. who
has always given considerable time
and thought to the matter of dress,
stopped on her way at her dress
makers and gave an order for a
complete outfit of widows mourn
ing. On arriving at the s~anitarium
she found her husband better, and
after remaining with him several
days until the danger was past she
returned to her home. She had en-
tirely forgotten about the order that
had been given to the dressmaker.
and what was her dismay to find all
the paraphernalia of woe awaiting
hert The husband recovered entire
ly both in mind and body and was
obliged to pay a goodly sized bill
for the mourning that was designed
for his funeral. Shortly afterward
a friend was calling upon the lady.
and, seeing a pile of dressmaker's
boxes in a corner of the room, asked
whether they contained something
new and pretty.
NO." was tho smiling answer
Therein lie my buried hopes. -

Il say DANCER.

Stor!cg Told hy WeSternorg of tho Antics
of Tho Sand Hill Crane.
Tho sand hill crane Is n very bright
bird. A Recreation writer says that its
very name is synonymous Ct vigilance
and alertness. 1t feeds en- the t~reeless
plains or in the barren wheat stubble.
where it can see a long way beyond gun
ihot, or one Ct n flock is posted rs sem
incl, and this bird stands with bill half
open, ready TO give an alarm. 1t can be
killed by dccoying it with pastoboard
figures cut 10 proper size aud shape and
painted, but mounted birds IRE better.
A pit is dug deep enough to conceal a
man, the decoys are put cut, and the
cranes are shot as they come over. The
best region to shoot them is i'll the CO.
lumbia river watershed and south of it
in the Pacific coast states.
When one shoots a bird Of the size
and build Of d crane in midair, 1t col
lapses, like o card house or a tent. But
such apparent collapses are sometimes
deceptive. as, for instance:
Before I could reach him he scared
OH 1nVO Ine elT with WHEELING uiRHt.
Again he hit the ground with fearful
violence, but again he got on his feet.
Running up, thinking to get him alive
for a decoy, / tried to tap him on the
head and stun him. He showed fight,
and / used my gun as l backed off, and
he took to his wings"
The sand hill crane is something CT Q
fighter CT men if wounded, and the only
safe crane is "a dead one. Their bills are
long and sharp and arc capable Of put
ting out u mans eye.
The sand hill crane has some curious
habits that make him of more than pass
ing interest to the student of birds. Out
on the prairies parties CT them have balls
III the spring, to which the select birds
seem to be invited. These balls are pic
turc sque affairs from the human stand
point. There are curious dances, which
are sort Of solitary waltzes or pretty
slow jigs. Somctimcs the BIRDS leap
oyer one anothcr's backs and flap their
wings, giving their peculiar cry. Some
times rival birds have fierce duels, using
their keen bills like lances, b~attlcaxes
and swcrGs.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch In comment
Ing on the interview with LII Hung
Chang regarding the condition Of his
country, which is on silver basis says
that Ii expresses the opinion that the
policy has benefited the manufacturers
and exporting agents. but Is discrcetly
silent as to the effect upon wages and
the raw products, except to the extent
Of saying that the exporters buy for
silver and sell for gold and pocket the
difference between the two.
This Is an Important matter to con-
slider, The Dispatch says: Exactly
this same testimony upon observed facts
has been given from Mexico. The en-
ployers OF labor In the production Of
export commodities and the purchasers
Of products for export have been wax
ing rich becaus. they buy labor and pro-
ducts for cheap silver and sell 10 foreign
countries for gold. upon 4 gold basis
their profit being the difference be-
tween the two standards"
How farmer or working man in this
country can fall to appreciate this point
Is past comprehension. 1t shows con-
cuslvcly that free silver, far from being
legislation for the masses, would be
class legislation OF the most pronounced
kind.

The delu1ad free silver shouters will
doubtless Say that the height OF these
prices shows that the times were good
ana the country waS prosperous, be-
cause the hotel-keeper got so for q
meal that TODAY would bring him only
about nifty cents. and the clothier got

They VIII not pursue the subject far
enough to consider that the hotel keep

bushel for wheat, $l2 pair for chick

boots, $40 for pound Of sugar, SIS for

whisky.
