Vari-co'ored EmbIems nost Appropriate

Inc latest Mckinley emblem is a shirt
front or many colors. 1t is a happv
thought. The shirt front, or dickv is
q device which may be used to cover a
multitude Of short comings. It's ordinary
use Is to give a false appearance of
prosperity and cleanliness 1t enables
a man without a shirt to pretend that he
mas one, and a man with shirt bosom
to make believe that it is clean The
only trouble about this emblem of false
appearance is to find colors enough to
correspond with the shades of opinion
which Mckinley has pretended to hold
ON the money question and on all other
questions except the tariff-St. Louis

City Ownership Of Lighting Plants

There is no doubt economy in a monop-
oily for supplying gas, for 1t requires only
a single plant for Its production and dis
tribution, while competition requires more
than one for the same territory, but the
economy disappears when the cost of
competing plants has been incurred and
they pass under one control, which exacts
protiet based upon the whole investment.
There Is the same economic advantage
that there is in furnishing water, but there
Is also the same reason for having such q
monopoly. II 1t is allowed to exist at all,

it approached, some small stones were
dislodged and ratified down from above
and fell with a plunge on to the glacier
below; and then, as 1t came closer, he
knew that it was made by the footsteps
of man.
And, looking up, he saw a human figure
descending the path TO the plateau by
which he had come, and standing out
clearly defined against the moonlight.
1T is some guide going home" he said
to himself, 'or starting out upon an early
ascent. How firmly he descends the

The man advanced, and he watched
him curiously, noticing the easy way in
which he came down the rough-hewn
steps, scarcely touching the hand-rail or
using the heavy pointed stick he carried
in place Of the usual alpen-stock.
And he noticed that, besides his KNAPP
sack, he carried the heavy coil of rope
that guides use in their ascents.
At last the newcomer reached the pla-
teau, and. as he took the last two or three
steps that led on to il, he saw that there
was another man upon it, and stopped.
Stopped to gaze for one moment at the
previous occupant, and then to advance
toward him and to stand towering above
him as he sat upon the boulder stone.
You are Philip Smerdon," he said in a

VIOLATED FISH LAW.

Appleton. Wis. Aug. 1I.-lSpeclal.I-
Chris Hansen. the Nceuah hshdealer
who was arrested here Saturday morn
ing with two wagonloads OF Illegally
netted fish in his possession which were
on their way overland to Green bay,
was found guilty in justice court ana
paid fine of SO and costs of SO. W heh
first arrested Hansen protested vigorous
" and threatened the deputy game war
den. Julius Wait. with dire legal Consc-
OuenceS and suits for civil damages
When the case came up IN court nan
sen was represented by Attorney / ltz-
gibbons of Meuasha. who during All inc
war against illegal fishing IN Lake W IN
nebag0 of last season and this has been
the attorney for the fish pirates. w
gibbons announced in the court that MS
client would make no defense. hut being
unable to secure necessary WITNESSES
would let the case go by default and ap-
peal 10 the circuit court. Upon the eNl-
denCe presented by the prosecution han
sen was found guilty and nutlce OF an
appeal was promptly filed. Hut When
a demand for $500 bail was made ana
Hansen found that he must furnish II or
be committed TO jail, he was selH'u Win
CONSERVATION. An effort was made 10
secure tbs bail. but it was unsuccesstuI,
wherCupon the defendant experienced
change of mind. The notice OF appeal
was Withdrawn and the fine and costs
paid. and Mr. Hansen returned to Nee
nah. his overland transportation venture
having proved a failure. Hansen
claim was that he bought the fish IN
Green Bay and was taking them to Nee
nah But this story seems not plausible,
for the reason that when captured the
teams were being driven briskly IN eN-
actly the opposite direction from Nee
nah. The horses were fresh and showed
no signs of an alI-night drive from Green
| Bay. as claimed. and the fish were too
fresh from the water to have been hauled
clear from Green Bay.

For Stopping Bleeding.

\ powder for arresting bleeding is
sade by mixing together equal parts of
alum nutgalls gum arabic and gum ben
zoin. these first being finely powdered.
Another recipe gives equal parts ot
alum, gum tragacanth and fannie acid.
Each powder is used simply by Il little
tcing sprnkled and pressed on the bleed
ing part. For slight cuts these powders
viii be found efficient, and especially in
the often persistent bleeding which may
follow shaving operations on the chin.
The average price of Canadian
horses sold in London for some time has
rarely been above f25, 4 price which,
freight and all expenses considered, is
said to yield n satisfactory margin of
profit.
Strawberries are often served with
orange juice. Cover the berries with
sugar and juice of several oranges. Let
them chill in the refrigerator for half
an hour and serve with powdered ice.
