How a Good Wife Saved a Fortune

'Y'ain't got much," ventured the ner-

SHE DOESN'T KNOW 1T YET.
Meeting Was Stampeded Before
Her Question Was Answered.

There had been several good speakers
before Miss SuZan Bloomfield pulled
down her vest, ran finger around the
edge Of her collar, and advanced to
the edge of the platform. She was a
large woman. with moles upon her chin,
and cheeks, and a complexion like a
piece of breakfast bacon: but she had
a convincing way of shaking the in
dex finger of her right hand and she
was frequently applauded by her en-
thusiastic sisters.
After she had dwelt at length upon
the injustice of depriving woman of the
privilege of suffrage and had held man
up as an internal animal, whose speedy
determination was all that could pos
sibly save the world from going to de-
struction, she exclaimed:
And now they want 10 tell us what
we must wear. daughter) They seek
to measure our skirts for us. and to
dictate the style of our sleevs.
(Groans) Shall we submit tamely to
this oppression? (Cries of No; NOD
Shall we permit these bipeds. who, ac-
cording to one Of their own number,
have descended from monkeys (hilari-
Gus shouts) to foist their ideas of beau
ty upon us? And this brings me to the
main point of my argument What
makes woman beautiful? That is the
question-what makes her lovely?
WHAT
But at this point a meek-looking man
who had been listening quietly to the
roasting of his brothers arose and said:
Girls, If any of you know. don't keep
it back Tell her Don't let her go away
from here without knowing, if YOU can
help it,
He then grabbed his hat and ran. and
the meetings broke up in wild confu-

BLIND JENNIE
She Lives in a Tenement and
Teaches Bible Lessons.

Merry Christmas in the Tenements"
Is the title of an article by Jacob A.
filis that appears in the December
Century" Mr.. Rils says:
In one of the side streets near the
East River has stood for thirty years
a little mission church, called Hope
Chapa by its founders, in the brave
spirit in which they built it. 1t has
had plenty of use for the spirit since.
OF the kind of problems that beset its
pastor l caught glimpse the other
day. when, as l entered his room, a
rough looking man went out.

looking after him with contracted brow.
He has spent two Christmas days out
of twenty-three out of jail. He is a

mouth of it.

We went in, in single file; there was
not room for two. AS we climbed the
creaking stairs of the rear tenement.
a chorus of children's shrill voices burst
into song somewhere above.
This is her Glass; said the pastor
OF Hope Chapel, as he stopped on the
landing. They are all kinds. We
never could hope to reach them; Jennie
can. They fetch her the papers given
out in the Sunday-school, and read to
her what is printed under the pictures:
ana she tells them the story of it.
There is nothing Jennie doesn't know
about the Bible
The door opened upon a low ceiIed
room, where the evening shades lay
deep. The red glow from the kitchen
stove discovered a jam of children,
young girls mostly, perched on the table
and chairs, in each others laps, or
squatung on the floor; in the midst
OF them, a little old woman with heay-
lly yelled face, and wan, wrinkled
hands folded in her lap. The singing
ceased as we stepped across the thresh-
old.
BE welcome" piped a harsh voice
with a singular note of cheerfulness in
it. Whose step is that with YOU pas

up to make room
Jennie has not seen since she was a

she knows a friend without it. Some

His glory, and then she shall be Blind

she repeated, Jennie shall see. Not
long now-not long!" Her pastor pat
tea ner hand. The silence of the dark
room was broken by Blind Jennie's
voice, rising cracked and quavering:
Alas! and did my Savior bleed?" The
shrill chorus burst in:

An Accident Insurance Company
Says That Bicycles Are
Bad Enough.

New York, May 31.-The decision OF
Judge Hazelrigg OF the appellate divi.
sion Of the Kentucky court, holding that
accident insurance companies are liable
for injuries or death resulting from
mosquito bites, is giving the accident
companies some uneasiness and it is
probable that In future the policies will
be SO drawn as to avoid claimants Of
this character. Judge HaZelrigg's de-
cision was. in substance, to the effect
that a mosquito bite was sufficient evil
dence for the full amount of the acct
dent policy to be paid, and gave IS, 900,
the mou sued for, to the heirs of a
man who was insured In the United
States Mutual association.
When the news of the decision
reached New York it caused a furry in
accident insurance circles. The acct
dent companies do a big business In
New Jersey and the prospect Of having
to pay $25 a week every time a Jersey
man is bitten by a mosquito does not
a fair proposition.
Bicycles keep us broke" said the sec
rotary Of a leading company, land now.
If we are to be held responsible for mos
quitoes, we might just as we'll quit the
business. :
THE company in revising it's policies
will enumerate the accidents against
which the purchaser Of a policy may
take out insurance. The mosquito, gar
den snakes, poison ivy n other pestif.
erOus things of like character will be
barred

south Dakota Farmors Delighted
With Crop Prospects,

Huron, May 2S.-Farmers in this coun-
ty and throughout the entire Jim river
valley are rejoicing over the present fine
crop outlook. Wheat looks uncommon
ly well, and except in limited sections
has made marked progress in growth
the past few days. The acreage, which
early in the season was thought to be
far below the average, equals that OF
former years; the oats and corn acre
age will run from 10 to Is per cent below
that of last season; flax seeding Is not
yet completed, but if plans of farmers
are carried out the acreage to this crop
will be fully as great as in previous
years, while the potato acreage VIII
probably be a trifie less. Some damage
was done by frost the nights Of the 28d
and oath, and cutworms have made their
appearance in a few fields, making re-
planting of corn necessary In some sec
tons. Fruit was also somewhat dam
aged by frost. but where u~ndisturbed by
that element is rapidly developing.
There is ample moisture in the soil Tor
some days to come, but good rains In
nearly every part Of the valley wou
be very beneficial. Gardens, pastures
and meadows are in excellent condition,
Tree growth has been unusually strong.
Many groves that seemed almost lifeless
last year are loaded with new growth
and heavy foliage; the ssasop has been
especially favorable for tree planting
and tree growing.

DAKoTA's POLITICAL MENTORS
The Big Five" Meet TO Dispense
the Pan.

Sioux Falls, May 29.-Yesterday was
the most important day In months to
the politicians of South Dakota. Last
evening the big five" Messrs. Kit
fridge, Elliott, Crawford, Gamble and
Rlngsrud, met to select the candidates
for the federal offices. There were
about fifty prominent politicians in the
city besieging these gentlemen and pre-
senting Endorsements. Fol United
States marshal there are twenty candi-
dates, for assistant district attorney
fifteen, and for the land offices, post
offices and Indian agencies a great
crowd. No indication has been given
OF the selections as yet and will prob
ably not be for some days. 1t is whis-
pered that the fight for marshal, which
is the biggest plum to be given out, lies
between Frank A. Morris of Trip and
f. G.. Kennedy Of Eureka, with the
five dispensers pretty evenly divided.
The surveyor generalship will probably
go to the Black Hills with the assistant
district attorney. the internal collector
ship TO Bookings county.
Yesterday Judge Garland adjourned
he special term of the United States
court. jos Kirby, who Is charged with

berries which took place last year Is still

Of four prominent physicians to Visit
Kirby and examine him to ascertain II
he were really i'll and If he could safely
be brought into court. The physicians
reported that II was not safe. On mo
ton Of District Attorney Elliott the
judge then ordered a reces taken until
June s and dismissed the jury and wit
nesses until that date.

Gardens and pastures were also much

that but little was far enough advanced

There is some complaint Of cutworms
