SURPRISE FOR THE OLD MAN.
The Punching Bags Elasticity Was
Wholly Lncxpected.

The Punching Bags Elasticity Was
Wholly Unexpected.
One Of those big, hardy men who got
into the pine woods early, endured the
hardships OF n pioneer, finally made n
fortune and then came to Detroit as one
of the favored spots on earth in which
to live, has a young son who aspires to
athletic honors and has a big room in
the barn equipped as gymnasium.
The old gentleman was a powerful
man in his day and had to deal with re-
fractory woodsmen who yielded to moth
ing but muscular suasion. 1t is diff
icult for a person like him to realize
that age draws on strength and ac'
tivity.
One afternoon last week the father
went by special invitation TO see the
gymnasium. The first thing to attract
his attention was a punching bag, one
of those arrangements that comes back
when you hit it, and comes back harder
the harder you hit it. When its uses
were explained to the old gent of the
woods, he promptly announced that
he'd either "bust the thing or knock
it through the ceiling"
Drawing back as if to fell an OK, the
father let go, and there was thud as
though q trolley car had collided with
an elephant Before the air had ceased
I to quiver there was a quick but sudden
"biff." The bag had come back, driy-
ing the puncher's cigar half way down
his throat, filing his whiskers with hot
ashes and starting the blood from his
prominent nose. With such a whoop
as used to walSen the echoes of the north
woods the old gentleman went at the
bag. And the bag stayed right with
him. 1t was literally give and take.

as if he were fighting bees and throw

TWO VIRTUES DISAPPEARING.
loyalty Among Women and Courtess
Among Men.


Loyalty seems TO be one of the old
fashicled virtues which Of late years
have become almost obsolete-loyalty
10 ones friend, ones guest, ones host,
even to the members Of ones family. II
seems to belong no longer to the ethics
OF modern life. Yes. l am very fond Of
So-and-so," is the usual preface. but"
and then follows the usual criticism.
which is generally exaggerated, is often
unbind, and almost always gives a dis
agreeable impression of the person dis
cussed In old days it used TO be con-
sidered bad taste TO criticise either a
guest or a host, but such intimate in
tercourse nowadays seems only to give
an added opportunity for satirical re-
mark.
It's literally true as society is at pres
ent constituted that a person who
speaks we'll of friends is voted bore,
while tongue that spares no one gives
it's owner a decided popularity. oddly
enough, however, the listeners who en-
Joy the gossip, which in the nature or
things is necessarily ill-natured, never
seem to realize while they laugh over
the shortcomings of mutual acquaint-
ances that they themselves win be the
next victims. for it may be taken az
well-proven rule that person who says
sharp things of one friend viii not spare
another. Every one of us is vulnerable.
and if our intimate friends cannot ''be
to our virtues very kind, and to our
faults a little blind" whom can we
trust2 We shall have to end by "loving
our enemies" and praying to be "deliv-
cred from our friends" like Job of old.
If loyalty has become obsolete among
the women of late years, the men might
well plead guilty to another indictment
-chivalry with them has certainly died
out. 1t used to be said of American
men that they were very Bayards in
! knightly homage TO their womenkind.
! But where now is that boastcd consider
alton? Women are dragged into print
and have their private and sacred af-
fairs discussed without any redress. 1t
is not so very long ago that courtesy
toward the sex in public conveyances
used to be the rule. Now it is the excep-
ton, and the tone of careless indiifer-
| ence prevails even IN matters social
Politeness towards women simply be
cause they are women is now conspicu
GUS by its absence. and there is a give
and take sort Of manners in vogue that
is very deficient indeed in the respect
shown of yore. Perhaps this is not al
together the fault of the men; il may
be that the women have brought this
state of Affairs on themselves. If th'
new woman had not appeared, it is pos
sible that the old-fashioned gentle
man would not have gone out of eX
istence, and that our men might hav'
remained preux chevaliers-but what
ever the cause, and wherever we ma.
look for the reason. it cannot be denie'
that another very desirable virtue ha
become practically extinct.-N. Y. Trit

cut fight for the gold standard against

cut fight for the gold standard against
free silver.
IF bimetallism is an exploded theory
why did the Republican platform declare
for it?" Mr.. Cooper asked.
THE party has been evoluting OUT OF
| it," said Mr.. Fowler, but unfortunately
| at st. Louis ii left one foot in the past.
| Then Mr.. Towne asked If Mr.. Fowler
| did not believe the Republican party had
| made pledge to the American people
| to use it's best efforts to secur lnterna-
| tional bimetallism. To this Mr.. FoWler
| replied that he did not know what bimet-
allism meant.
Mr. Towne asked that as the word BIZ
metallism did not occur in the platform.
did Mr.. Fowler think that it pledged
the party to secure International free
coinage of silver?
There was much parleying on this
point, Mr.. Fowler insisting that bimet-
allism was an absurdity and Mr. Towne
declared that If the people thought the
party did not intend 10 carry out the
platform pledge they would sweep the
party off the earth for such infamous
deceit"
Mr. Quigg then spoke, addressing, as
he said. the Republican members of the
committee. II was true that the party
made at st. Louis promise to work for
international bimetallism, but the prom
ise had been impaired or affected by
what had gone before and after these
particular words. That promise should
be construed by the representatives who
had been chosen by the people on that
platform not by those whose terms were
about TO expire. Mr.. Mckinley had
already sent a courier to Europe whose
free silver views were pronounced to Sc
cure information on the subject. This
bill came from a senate which had de-.
ID
to it in this congress. While it was not
compulsory on the president it must
have great weight. No one knew that
conditions were more favorable to BIZ
metallic conference now than at the
time of the last conference. Information
had been secured by the president
through diplomatic channels. There was
further discussion and finally the COM
mttee decided to take vote on the
bill on Saturday next.
MINOR MATTERS
The senate committee on interstate
commerce today agreed to report the
anti-scalping bill with amendments, the
most important of which provides that
the purchaser of ticket in good faith,
for personal use, in the prosecution of
journey, shall have the right to resell it.
Another amendment makes it incumbent
upon any railroad company to redeem
at pro rata rates tne unused portion OF
any ticket.
The subcommittee on appropriations
OF the house naval committee has de-
cided to recommend only one new bat
tleship in the bill, and that lump sum
be appropriated for the ship and armor
plate.
The house committee on public lands
today decided not to report the senate
bill for purchasing the toll roads in the
Yellowstone park and making them free.
Instead, it will recommend an inves-
tieation of the business o fthe roads by
a committee of three engineer officers
and a report upon the advisab bility of
their control by the government.

IN COMMITTEE
Interest Increasing in the Monetary Conference
Proposition

WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-Interest in
the senate bill for an international none
tary conference deepens as the discus
sion before the house committee on coin
age continues. Half a dozen members OF
the committee fear the bill may be talked
to death before the session ends. Repre-
entative Quigg Of New York announced
that several New York men desired to
be heard before vote was taken and
desired a postponement.
"Wouldn't you like to see it post
poned until March 5th?" asked Hilborn
of California. Quigg admitted that he
would be pleased al such a result.
Then you are not in favor of carry
ing out the Republican PLATFORM" Hill
born said.
II merely doubt the expediencv of the
bill at this time" replied Quigg. He ad-
ded that the New York congressional
delegation was practically unanimous
in opposition.
Fowler of the committee on BANKING,
continued his speech against bimetaI.
lism.
The speech soon drifted into the chan
mel Of free coinage and Messrs. Cooner
OF Texas and ToWne of Minnesota took
part.
When Mr.. Fowler came to the oues-
tion of a conference he said that further
agitation of the question of bimetallisn
would keep capital out of the country.
A conference would result only in an
exchange of the opinions of individuals
The last campaign had been a clear
