Mccormick Harvesting Machine Co.
Gentlemen-In looking over our
records showing switching of railroad
cars delivered at your works, and ship
msnts thersfrom, find that during
the past twenty days we have given
you, OH an average, sixty-three cars
per day, and that number has been
loaded and shipped by you, making
two full train loads Of cars loaded
with harvesting machinery leaving
your works every day-a record that
certainly has never been equalled by
any concern in the world. Will also
say that prior to the last twenty days
we daily delivered to you tifty-fve cars
which were loaded and taken from
your yards each day.
Yours truly,

"16 to 1" means that the pure silver in a

much as the pure gold in a gold dollar. In
other words, one ounce of gold will coin as
many dollars sixteen ounces of silver.

duplicating their favOrite trick. He
was diligent in the work he was sent
to do and returned to Washington
with the largest collection of A lasks
flora and in the best condition of auy
previous collector.
THE following year the department
sent him into the interior of Alaska
on similar expedition. "There are
plenty of men who know more bDtany
than Funston dOes,'' said the heat of
his department in recommending him
to the Secretary, "but there is nobody
who will go farther or come more
nearly getting what he goes after"
He started across the coast range into
the Upper Yukon country with n
party of gold miners. After almost
incredible hardships they got over,
and he spent the summer at Fort Me-
Question, on the Yukon river. In the
fall he went To au Indian village on
the Powder river. To while away
the winter he took two snow shoe
Journeys with the Indians. On one
of these he carried letters to Hudson
Bay Fur cOmpany's post, 200 miles
away, and brought back provisions.
The other was for hunting, and that
took him GOO miles in the dead of an
Arctic winter. He went to the shores
of the Arctic ocean and visited some
ice-bOund whalers, who were nightly
amazed to see him. When spring
opened he got into a boat made by
himself, and which he called the
"Nancy Hanks" and flOated 1,5OO
miles down the Yukon river, collect
ing specimens of flora aud fauna
When he reached the Arctic ocean he
met the United States revenue cutter
Bear and sailed'On her to San Fran
cisco.
"The winter and spring of 1895 he
spent in Mexico on a coffee plantation
scheme, but the striDgency of the
money market defeated it, and he
went to New York, where he was en-
gagged in desultory literary work for
the magazines and newspapers.
"Funston is built for an adventur-
Gus career He is feet inches tall
and has chest girth of thirty. eight |
of room for lungs and |
other necessarles. His expeditions |
into the extremes of temperatures /
have injured him to climatic changes
and he is fertile in expedient and the

The rather eccentric fad for wear

The empress of Russia and her little
daughter are in one sense leading the
fashions in Paris. for all sorts and kinds
of confections are named after them,
and the Russian headdress is copied
and adapted to the varied requirements
OF millinery on a great scale. Fans
with water color hand-rainted DOR
traits of the emperor and empress are
all the rage. and ear violets have taken
a new lease of fashionable life. The
old saying that there is everything in

meaning in the French peoples enthu-

of the new fabrics are named Alex

But that won't do interrupted the

When one man comes to another and
tells him that his daughter is about to
forsake the parental roof under cover
of the night he should be absolutely
sure of what he says. Have you incon-
trovertible evidence that what you say
is true?"
'Well, no, can't say that have" re-
piled the offlcious neighbor, beginning
to feel that perhaps he had gone too
far.

my hopes needlessly raised by reports
of this sort, and it is growing monot-
onous."-ChicagO Post.
