CouIdn,t Believe His Eyes.

A fat, smooth-faced man. with left
over jag. sat gloomily in the corner of a
Wabash avenue car and viewed his sur
roundings with hazy and bloodshot eye,
says the Chicago Times.
A good-looking young woman, whose at
tire betokened familiarity with fashiona-
bic society got on the car at Congress
street and took a seat opposite. The fat
man apparently did not notice her en-
trance, but in a few moments he suddenly
fixed his eyes upon her in a frozen stare,
while look of doubt, fear and hope in
contorted combination crept over his coun-
tenance
He tried to take his gaze from the young
woman, but seemed to be fascinated by
something. After a prolonged stare of
half minute OF so he suddenly bolted for
the door, and, without waiting for the car
to stop. jumped off and rapidly disappear
ed down a side street
At that moment the object of the fat
mans alarm became apparent to the 9TH
er occupants of the car. 1t was a harm

and was crawling about over the young
woman's bosom in its efforts to escape.

This little creature is simply forerun-

A Mntter of buttons.

"Have you ever noticed" asked Snyder,
the calculating barber, according to the
Chicago Record, 1.-The reckless extrava-
gance shown by tailors in finishing a coat?
Well, just take a look at your coat. On
each sleeve you'll find three buttons which
are absolutely unnecessary. Now, you
may think that this is trivial affair, but
my figures prove the contrary. / calcu-
late that in the United States there are
probably 100000 such coats in existence.
With six buttons on each coat this makes
a total of 100000 buttons simply
wasted. You've probably never stopped TO
consider the enormous number this is.
Well. placed one on top of another in a
single pile they would make a stack 295
miles in hight. Allowing a value of five
cents per dozen, by my figures the money
thus thrown away, If invested at five per
cent, would yield an income at $31, $50 per
annum. Surprising, isn't it? No wonder
people talk about hard times. But that's
not all. According to my calculations the
thread used in putting on the buttons, al
lowing two inches for each, would stretch
once around the earth, with enough left
over to reach from here to Carson City
The cost of this at four cents a spool,
would be sufficient to pay a saloonkeeper' s
license for two years with the bartender's
sa.ary thrown in. Now Wen say that 1t
takes three minutes to sew these buttons
on. At this rate, by my figures, it would
take 100 persons, working ten hours a day.
just three and one-hah years to do the
work. And the money expended in work
ing the superfiuous buttonholes in coat
lapels would furnish the Cuban insurgents
with gunpowder enough to blow up the
whole island. Bay rum?"

Didn't Relish the Joke.

Funny thing" laughed the jovial pro-
prietor, who was entertaining some of
his prospective victims at the cafe, says
the Detroit Free Press. 1.-THE maddest
man 1 ever saw was that same smooth
voiced old gentleman that just left us.
When 1 first went to the northwest it was
as a boomer, and the syndicate / was
operating for set me up in the newspaper
business. The primary purpose was to at
tract attention. sell land, and give the
friends of my people political control; but,
to get circulation, 1 had to interest read
ers all over the country. One scheme in
this direction was to run the spiciest per-
sonal column 1 could put up. There
wasn't a man who came to the place that
1 didn't give a send-off to attract general
attention. 1 wasn't embarrassed by any
regard for the facts, and avoided I'M
pleasant consequences by using fictitious
names or initials.
"One day this same old gentleman drop
ped down in our midst. 1t must have
been twenty years ago. / pictured him
as an Adonis, a youth of the courtliest
manner and most magnetic qualities. A
week later he came into my little office
with look that would cause the average
man to take to his heels. His face was
colorless and drawn. His eyes glittered
and he ground his teeth when he was not
talking. He spread a letter in front of
me and then paced the floor. 1t was a
dainty little missive, with a faint odor of
violets. 1t told what the fair writer had
read in my paper, and how it had filled
her with desire to know such a manly
paragon. She sought a correspondence
and asked for picture. began to laugh
and chaff in order to pacify my caller, but
he fiourished the letter in one hand, hit
the table with the other, and shouted:
1.-THE writer Of that is my daughter, sir!'

sInnshen Her Idols.

Miss Phoebe Couzens, the veteran wo-
man suffragist and all-round reformer
has renounced her former opinions and
now advises young women to get mar
ried and go to housekeeping. Some years
ago she advised them to do no such thing,
but to buckle on armor and go out into
the world and fight against the tyrant
man for her rights. Twenty years OF
study of the human species has brought
her TO the conclusion that her former
opinions were wrong; that there is in re-
ality two spheres for the two sexes and
that womans especial sphere is the
home. ''she is by nature housekeeper."
says Miss Couzens. Woman will never
prove satisfactory in public life. as there
are limitations which prescribe her sue
cess"
Twenty years ago she believed that
equal suffrage would prove a panacea for
all ills; that woman in public life would
exert regenerating and elevating influ-
ence. AFTER twenty years of close OBJ
servation and experience?" she declares,
II have come to the conclusion that
women are no better than men. find that
they are about equally balanced; that
there are as many good women as good
men in the world. and no more. This is
true. not alone In regard to the relation
Of the sexes, but in integrity OF word, In
unyie.ding adherence to principles they
believe to be right, and loyalty to the
highest in man." This, coming from Miss
couzens, the friend and associate of Mrs.
Stanton, Lucy Stone and the Others is
rampant iconoclasm. 1t is idol smashing
on a great scale. For it was formerly
Miss Couzens belief that most men were
base and tyrannical, while the majority
of women were just the opposite. She
finds now, she says that the race is made
up of both sexes, and that the law of
heredity does not produce deviltry in one
and divinity in the other.
1t is to be observed, by the way, that
there is method in Miss Couzens' icono-
clasm. She was once connected with the
worlds fair woman's board of managers.
Some difficulty arose and she was
ousted from her position. 1t seems,
according to the interview quot
ed from above, that she first began to be
disillusioned about the time she was re-
moved from the board. For in the inter
view she names Names" and says she
proposes to handle certain ladies without
gloves in a book she is writing
Some of the advanced women with
whom Miss Couzens used to work shout
der to shoulder shake their cur.s and look
sad when talking of her interview. Eliz-
abeth Cady Stanton says she was spoiled
by being petted, and has become soured
because she could not have her own way
i'm everything. Her harsh language Mrs
Stanton attributes to her disappointment
and the fact that she is an invalid. She
suffers from rheumatism. But her mind
is clear. Having renowned woman suf-
frage and turned her back upon its lead
ers, it is to be expected that she will use
her pen against them. There is, therefore,
the prospect Of some pretty lively cross

What is the meaning of this reversal of

full appreciation of his services in teaching

toes, IT properly cultivated, would accept
his candidate. But the people arose in
their might and declared they would have
no substitute for the original potato. Now
the question is, are they tired of the po-
tato diet, or do they mean to coerce Pin

The House of Commons has challenged
the House of Representatives 10 a tour.
A wicked representative from Iowa, OF
the name Of Henderson, has moved TO
amend the challenge by striking out the
word "chess" and inserting poker" that
being a game at which American states
men are supposed TO be more expert than
at chess. Now. will not the House OF
Lords challenge the Senate, and insist
upon the game being chess? Chess is en-
ihently preferable in this latter instance.
because when that game is being played
the players almost invariably keep their
mouths shut.

The "scrippers" in the Chicago lake
front case paid ex-Secretary Carlisle a re-
tainer of $4,000. and thought they had
secured an attorney upon whom they
could depend. MIR. Carlisle examined the
case, 1t is said, and reached the concIu-
sion that he does not care to
have anything to do with it.
He has therefore returned the
"scrippers" their fee of $4,000 and
washed his hands of the business. It IS
said that the fee is 5000 more than he
ever received for years labor. and the
services which he would have rendered
required only a little work and time.
However that may be, MIR. Carlisle would
not touch a questionable case for any
amount of money. He is incorruptible.
