IN TNIOTE BILL,

John d. RazalI, the printer, last week
paid a bill which he will have framed
on account of its remarkable wording.

ment of bis establishment supplied
with water suddenly ceased to work
without Offering the least explanation
Tor so arbitrary Il proceeding. The
mechanic who was called i'll tinkered
the thing for half a day, and then said
the apparatus would have to be taken
to pieces.
This was serious, as it meant the
stoppage of the department, so it was
suggested that II neighboring engineer
IA reputed genius in all mecanical
matters-shouId be sent for. He came,
looked ut the pump, and then taking
a hammer, gave three smart taps over
the valve.
Shell go now" he said, quietly,
and when the steam was turned Oh
she did go.
''In due course" said Mr. Razall,
'Ireceived bill from that engineer
for $10.75. The sum amazed me, but
OH reading the items | drew IA check at
once. They were as follows: For

Her husband tried to speak, but in

Fearing her husband was suffering from

Mr.. Flocke motioned i'll the affirma-

Fiocke. Without warning the doctor
struck Flocke terrific blow on the left
side of the jaw. Flocke showed a dispo-
sition to strike back.
You told me to do it my own way"
said the physician. "Yeu observe that
your ability to speak is restored. "
The blow had knocked Flocke's dislo

none the worse. DR.. Mcdonald explained

A RED CROSS KNIGHT

The crimson glow of sunlight falls
Along the monumental walls
Where still in faded pomp are read
The name and virtues OF the dead.
Yet from yon ctfigy of knight
The craven naane has vanished quite.
No word remains, but stories tell
That he who sleeps fought true and well
In kindut - swift, i'll vengeance slow,
A constant friend, II courteous foe.
Who partly fought for love of fight,
But chiefly for the love of right.
To Holy Land he rode away;
Seek thou holy land today.
With sword and battleax he strove:
Seek thou the armory of love.
He won ON earth poor renown;
Win thou on earth loves fadeleNs crown.

A Disappointed Diplomat.
An interesting story is told in Wash
ington regarding NJ. Patenotre, the
French ambassador. After congress
passed the law empowering the presi-
dent to send ambassadors to such coun-
tries as would raise the rank of their
representatives, Sir Julian Pauncefote
was the first to inform the president of
the intention Of his country to make
him an ambassador. N. Patenotre con-
ceived the ambition to be the dean Of
the ambassadors and communicated it
to his home government, and his COM
mission arrived before Sir Julian's. He
went to the state department in the
hope of immediate recognition as the
first ambassador to this country. He was
told that Sir Julian had anticipated him
by informing the department of the ac-
ton of his government. He was angry,
and wrote to the president requesting
his intervention. He received instead a
chilly letter from Mr.. Gresham.

New York Fashion Letter.


The tailor gown with slight decrease in
skirt is one of the favorite spring costumes
While the newest skirts for utility dresses are
somewhat smaller, the evening toilettes and
costumes of gauzy fabrics retain the fullness
of the past winter, but the tendency of all
skirts of the present epoch is to bring the
greater part of the fullness directly in the
back. Street costumes are popular made
with an Elton jacket, garment Which will
largely supersede the blazer for the coming
summer The spring sleeves from the best
New York houses are slightly smaller with a
dropping shoulder effect. French chaillies
show designs in Dresden effects, with En-
pire garlands and with Persian colors
Dresses made of these fabrics are ornamented
with Marie Antoinette tichus and are much
trimmed with ribbons. For these items of
information we are indebted to the Mcdowell
fashion journals, which are always abunG-
antly rich in descriptions and designs.

From Front and Rear

The New Jersey Legislature passed
on Wednesday its "anti-trust law"
and the New York World correspond
ent adds that it is believed
the measure will smash the coal combine
On the same day the sellers of coal
in New York announced there would
be no further raise in the price Of
anthracite, although it was designed
to advance gradually the 35-cent raise
to 80 cents.
Then the World says:
The idea evidently was to throw off the
track the Legislators of this State and New
Jersey, who have been framing me assures in
tended to checkmate the schemes of the coal
men.
SO it seems that while a few pro-
ducing thousands here are in doubt
whether they can take a cent ad-
vance, the many consuming millions
in the east are moving to make such
advances impossible.

The Better WAY.

The thinking miners of this region
ought to study Il long time before re-
jecting the 45-cent rate.
For it will be much easier to get the
0O-cent figure from a IS cent than a
40 cent basis.
However long the fall from so cents
down to 10, jump from 10 cents up to
90 is much longer.
If the companies were under promise
to restore the 50 cent rate, etc., they
are still under that promise. Like a
debt, it is not liquidated by half pay
ment
In commercial life, however, half
paid debt is far better asset than one
wholly unpaid.
In short, if the promise of 10 cents
exists, its fulfillment can be much
better obtained by instruments than by
grab for the whole lump.
But if You regard the promise as a
mortgage, the act of foreclosure will
not only wipe out the promise but fall
on something that isn't there-the
tender mercies Of your consumers.
Take the Is cents and, for the pres
ent, hope the other 5 cents will soon
come IN the same quiet, peace able way.
