a low crowned derby hat and the way she

The car bowled along up the Avenue, the
gripman whispered to himself the names of
the streets after they had been passed. and
the new woman was monarch OF all she
surveyed. Her reign was short-lived how
ever, and it all happened when the transfer
station at Fifteenth street and New York

The gripman lighted the headlamp there.

The doctor was trying to eat pie in a

The doctor was drunk.
He had great difficulty with the Die,
Sometimes he made connections with his
mouth; more often he did not When the
connection was made all right; the doctor
seemed to have no idea OF the capacity
of his mouth and wanted to swallow it ali
at once.
The operation was interesting. A curious
crowd gathered. Some encouraged him.
Others laughed at him.
The doctor smiled sleepily to himself and
murmured. watch me-" Then he braced
himself and went for that pie. A tremend-
GUS half moon was made in it. The doctor
looked disappointed.
"S'much blamed stuff sneaks round
edges" he said.
A standard which could operate as a
gauge OF general knowledge would be an
Interesting question If it were suscept-
ible Of solution.

WHO HAS THAT MONEY :?

A CORE, pendent from POGO
moke City sends us a marked
copy of the Farm formal for
August, containing an editor
ial under the caption of "Who
Has that Money ," The arti-
Gle sets forth that the farmers
of America received $500, 900, :
900 less for the crops last year
than in 1902. and even this
does not represent the shrink
ing in the value of live stock,
fruits, potatoes, etc. The
Journal says someone has
prohted by this great loss to
our farmers, and it looks
around for that money. 1t
cannot be found with the farm
ers of the West or South and
the Journal turns its eagle eye
to Europe and finds in the
London Times evidence con =
vincing that England is very
much interested in preventing
the free coinage of silver in
this country because her banks
are full OF idle money and be-
cause with free coinage we
will not need her gold and she
will no longer be able to con-
troll us. In conclusion the
Journal says:
1--WE have not confined our
search to this continent alone,
but have looked for tidings OF
that money in other lands.
Seeking for information in the
columns OF the London Times,
the great organ of the London
money getters, we came across
an editorial that may throw
some light on the mystery OF
the lost money. In plain type
and unabashed phrase we read
what follows:
at seems impossible to get bimetal.
lists to understand that there is quite
a large number of us for whom a
general rise in prices has no charms
whaterer. We like them io,r, and the
Lo,rer The better. Ifthey all went down
to half their present figures, we should
rejoice, because we have nothing 10 sell,
and a great many things to Juy. For
those who have things to sell. ,ce do
moi feel any great concern"
Nothing would please the
American Farmer better than
a rise in prices, for he has
things 10 sell. Lower the better
may suit London, but it does
not suit US. But we are asked
to wait until those people for
whom the Times speaks get
ready for bimetallism or a
general rise in prices; but
since they do not feel any
concern for our welfare, we
fear that we shall have to wait
long time. England's i'm
ports of things she buys were
500, 900, 900 greater last year
than her exports of things she
sells, so she is going to work
her British gold standard and
compound interest game as
long as she can. You may
like it: we do not.
