I saw a w0mm stop SO tbo entrance
TO ono of the big railroad stations the
other day, remove her macintosh and
seize a handful or SO Of dog which had
been trotting along beside her.
1t was very wise looking dog, with
long hair, which all but hid two eyes
that told of rare sagacity.
Don't you dare move" she said TO
the woolly thing. "Do you hearF" The
dog heard and seemed to understand.
eff you make any more noise, you're a
dead dog" she continued. The woolly
thing, by its eyes, seemed to say that it
understood.
She hid it under the cape of her mack
intosh, and one could have sworn that
she had nothing under the cape but her
arm. / supposed that she was going on
ly little way out of town. To my sur.
prise, she bought u sleeper ticket and
paid $40 for her regular transportation.
There was never whine on a motion
under the cape as she offered her ticket
to be punched and passed through to
the train. The woolly thing knew, it
seemed, that dire things would bgfall
if the sleeper were not reached in ST.
lonce. Nothing short of Y ray glasses
would have betrayed his mistress -

BoeIs Money Lenders In Paris.

From Frenchman's point Of view,
everybody who lives we'll and dresses
better than bank clerk is put down as
spy in the employ Of Bismarck, unless
he is known to have any other occupa-
ton. But among these busy people with
out distinct profession there are those
who lend their names and imposing APP
pearance to enterprises which could ex-
list only in the country where the ''gogo"
is always on the lookout for rapid road
to fortune. For example, the money
lending agencies. Notwithstanding ar
ticle upon article which has been writ
ten in the respectable portion of the
French press warning people against
them, they still go on and prosper. One
has only to consult any day the smallest
French paper which pretends to the
largest circulation to see half a dozen
persons or societies advertising to lend
money ON simple signatures. The sim
pleton replies to the advertisement,
states his requirements, is informed that
the director will be able to obtain what
he desires, that he must agree to pay so
much per cent commission generally
very low and deposit 221a francs for
sundry preliminary expenses. This he
does and hears no more Of the matter.
Or, if he becomes anxious and worries
the society" he gets polite letter to
say that the 'board of directors, hav-
ing taken the matter into their serious
consideration, regret that the securities
offered are not such as to justify them
in making the advance. s2215 francs
have been expended for the postage on
one letter and the inquiries, which have
probably never been made.-Lippin-
colts.

Some well meaning people are not
satisfied with the national flower, what
ever it is, and are suggesting the pond
lily for that exalted honor. They claim
that as this lily is closely related to the
lotus of India and Egypt its adoption
by the United States would show that
we believe in the sisterhood of states, "
etc. The pond lily, however, from its
aqueous habit, will not do so as a sym
Dol of this great republic, for the Unit
ed States never takes water, in which

THE SAME HERE.

The Main street of our city would
disgrace any neIghborhood in the
world. Are there not enough broad
guaged property owners along the
street to force the paving of the
street.-Van Buren Venture.
We have no Main street here, to
disgrace our city, but we have one
we call Broad street, that would
not make a respectable alley even
in New Boston. We have a pOpu-
lation of 1900, yet there is not a
street in the city that can be called
in a passible condition during a
muddy spell. We have them worked
at all times but the work is as good
as thrown away for the first big
rain washes them into bitches and
gullies and mixes up the sand as if ii
was bed of mortar.
Our city aldermen should com.
mence and pave one street every
year until our entire city is paved

Case Against S. B. Andrews Dismissed.

The S. B. Andrews case has been
settled in the Federal court at
Jefferson. 1t was shown at the last
trial that it was not the intention
of Mr.. Andrews to defraud TIE
depositors out Of a cent and the
court through Colonel Thornton the
receiver worked in the interest of
the depositors and by showing to
the effe ct that depositors would
receive their money back, almost to
the last cent, the criminal charges
were dismissed and Mr.. Andrews
was released from all charges of a
criminal nature,
When Mr., Thornton was put in
charge of the First National bank,
it was thought that it would not
pay 25 per cent to its depositors,
but under his able management it
has already paid them 60 per cent,
with 20 per cent in hand, and more
IN sight. We are glad that his
administration of affairs has ter
minated so well for the depositors.

The members of the W. C, 7. U.
of Kentucky have sent in a protest
to Secretary Herbert, asking him
not to permit whisky wine, or any
intoxicating fluid to be used in
christening the new war ship,
"Kentucky." Miss Richardson, who
has been selected to Christen the
war ship, had requested Secretary
Herbert to let her break a bottle of
bourbon whisky in the exercises in
stead of wine; as the bourbon was
made in Kentucky and was licensed
as a production, she thought it
would be more of a compliment to
the State. The w. C. 7. U. got
wind of her request, and hence the
protest. Secretary Herbert will be
in an awkward attitude and it will
be hard to tell how he will act in the
matter.

Corbett will be on hand to challenge
him, and it is said that if Maher
wins the fight he will challenge Cor

Gold has been at premium for
more than a week now, and yet
there has been no panic, nor have
the skies fallen, observes the Mining
Industries and Review. As matter
OF fact, there is practically no gold
at all in circulation anywhere in the
United States, and whether it is at
a premium or not cuts very little
figure in business transactions. The
wise men of the East, who have
been predicting diretul things if
gold rose to premium, are wrong
again, as they have been in each
and every one of their predictions

should continue to believe them is
