the western girl of the Gothamite.
Heavens no. answered the Gothamite.
1T seems to me that that is a rather grue-

Not at ALL" answered the western girl.
TT is decidedly dainty. and I'm a little sur
prised that New York is SO far behind the
times The fad started in this way. When
the daughter of one of our big western
politicians was six months old he had
model of her little finger cast in gold.
Around the little dimpled digit is ring
of turquoise. which is her birthstone. and II
makes a lovely charm for her betrothed's
watch chain. He valued IL so much that IL
set other men to thinking, and the result
is that as soon as a girl wraps one OF these
chaps around her own little finger SUM-
GENTLY for a proposal to follow, he inn
mediately insists upon a gold fac simile OF
the flesh and blood original. 1t is pretty
conceit and is being followed by every
westerrer who is in subsection to some

Keeping Still.

From the Chicago Journal

As does the truly quiet man.

Gets credit far beyond his worth
That one can be none other than

No matter what's within his heaA
His silence Is interpreted
To be sign that wisdom lies
Behind his inexpensive eyes.

To meanings deeper In intent
Than Ger the speaker thought or meant

Assumes position OF command,
Surprised approval greets him then.
And you shall hear from other men:
Some weighty reason lay behind
An act so foreign TO his kind"
When things go wrong bis moveless state
Is Credited TO scorn Of fate.
So softly to himself he swears;
lis thought he murmurs pous prayers.
He's so nisjudged. his flaws at length
Are twisted into points Of strength.
Poor humankind awaits command
From all Ii doesn't understand
And he may work his own sweet win
Who has the art OF keeping still.

A heavy rain and thunderstorm pre-
vailed during the night and COM
pIetely flushed the cutters and
cleaned the streets while tempering
the atmosphere.
There are thirty-on patients in the

deaths and discharges. Governor Fos-
ter is in receipt of more assurance
from the country members that
they will support him if he secures
money from the banks here for the use

that a sufficient number of replies will
be received to enable the governor to

Political Talk is Becoming Decid
edly Lively as the Elec-
tion Approaches.
TAYLOR is OUT WITH A CARD.
The Good Government Club Will Be Organ
lied Friday Night-Candi-
dates Galore.

The proposed Good Government
club and other STRINGS of the poht-
zeal pot were the current themes of
discussion in the city yesterday.
The Good Government club will, it
is announced, be organized next Fri
day night at a meeting to be held at
Newman's hall. The purpose of the
organization is to take an active part
in approaching elections and espe-
cially in the election of four aldermen
next December. 1t is anti-adminis-
tr&tion in character, and the members
say they propose to elect four alder
men in December. which, with q pres
ent alderman who has detected from
the administration, will give them,
they claim, the control of the city
council.
There are rumors that the club will
conduct a newspaper for the purpose
of championing its fight; that one of
its first moves will be an effort to i'm
peach Judge Sweat on a charge of
"tampering with the jury lists" and
that it proposes, eventually, to sppro-
pirate all the offices unto itself.
Among the leading spirits of the
new organization are Messrs. R. r.
Hopkins and Deputy Sheriff Emmett
Taylor.
Deputy Sheriff Taylor has recently
forsworn allegiance to the Ems" and
has become an emphatic and outspoken
adherent Of the "outs." The cause of
his change of heart has not been made
public. 1t has been rumored that Mr..
Taylor is in training to make the race
for sheriff in the next election, but
this he has several times denied. He
published signed card in the At
lanta Journal of Saturday, in which
he made statement of the Jury list
matter, alleging that Judge Sweat
asked him to "say nothing about" his
drawing of second jury.
The "Goo Coos" will probably put
out an aldermanio ticket shortly
There are indications of little more
interest than usual IN the approaching
political campaigns.

An Interesting Fact in Connection With
the Schooner.

An Interesting Fact in Connection With
the Schooner.
The schooner Frank A. Palmer, with
her record-breaking cargo of crossties,
went across the bar Sunday, under
convoy Of the tugs U. Dart and Inca
1t required % feet of water on the bar
for the Palmer to cross, and it was
there with good deal to spare. The
passage was safely made.
An interesting fact in connection
with the big schooner was stated yes
terday by Capt. j. L. Foster, superin-
tendent of the Hilton-Dodge mills at
st. Simon. A large lot of the lumber
with whloh the Frank A. Palmer waH
built was shipped from the st. Simon
mills last summer. If a schooner
could experience the feelings of hu-
mankind the Palmer would doubtless
feel strong interest in Brunswick as
contributing to its component parts.

BIG BUSINESS CLOSED.
Department Store in Chicago in the Hands
Of Creditors.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-The department
store of Simmons & Co., 2022 and 1924
State street, has been closed by cred
itOrs under chattel mortgages. The
amount of Indebtedness represented
in the failure is estimated to be in the
neighborhood of 100000, and the az
sets, it is believed, will aggregate
about the same figure. The inability
to meet payments promptly is assigned
as the cause Of shutting up the house.
This creditors under whose mort
cages the closure was affected were
F. Siegel & Bro. cloak manufacturers !;
j. ". Farwell & Co., dry goods. Their
combined claims amounted to $4,000
1t is estimated that the remaining
creditors in Chicago and the east
would represent an additional $4,000
or $55, 900 indebtedness.
