HIRAM DARTS q
Why He I'D Not Marry the Charrain,
Widow Breese.

When old Hiram Dart was in his sew
enty-ffth year, the faithful old wife
who had been his companion for a full
half century, sickened and died, and,
to the surprise and amusement of his
rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth in
search of another wife before Hannah,
his first spouse, had been six weeks in
her grave.
He made no secret of the fact that he
was "in the market and seemed sur
prised that the bidders were so few. He
attributed this fact to the general lack
of taste and judgment in the "wimmen
folks Of the present day.
They're a finicky lot anyhow, I" said
old Hiram, San it o. this fool
pew wimmen idee."
One day old Hiram drove by a neigh
boris house all ''rigged up in his Sun
day best and with a blue satin necktie
forming a marked contrast to tie big
red geranium III his buttonhole. He
tarried for a moment at his neighbours
gate and frankly confessed that he was
"goin a sparkin."
The object of this amatory visitation
was the Widow Breese, who lived cover
Hebron way" and with whom cid Hi
ram was wholly unacquainted. Some
one had, in a spirit of either malice or
mischief, made old Hiram believe that
the Widow Breese, a robust, well to do
woman Of about GO, would be Inclined
TO look with favor on Hiram's suit.
"An it won't be no harm done to 60
an see her anyway" said Hiram. as he
drove away.
1t was nearly dark when Hiram reap
pcared, far less buoy ant than wAen he
went away. His ncighbor was N the
lockout, and, hailing the old man, he
said:
"Well, Uncle Hiram, did the Widow
Brcese refuse youf"
mot much she didn't" retortsd Hi
ram spiritedly. 81 refused her."
"You refused her? Why, what do
you mean, Uncle Hirem?"
Mean Jess what say. refused the
cId-olG--cattyn ount!'
"Why, Uncle Hiram, is that a re-
spectful way TO speak about q LADY,"
a LADY, Humph, great lady old
Jane Breese is! Ycu call . woman u
lacy who sails into a feller with a
broomstick an calls i'm an Gle fool an

".Did Mrs. Breese do that?"

why Intercst rs uirh IN Texas.

The Galveston Daily News reminds
its Texas readers of the difference in in
terest rates in the northeastern states
and in some of tie western and southern
states and gives them a few elementary
lessons on the reasons for this difference.
Interest is never so low" it says, "in
communities given owe to suspicious
fires. questionable assignments, fraudu-
lent failures or TO legislation with q de-
cided turn against the, creditor and in
favor of the debtor. Huch Of the mar.
ket rate of interest is insurance against
risk, and of course diminishes as the
risk decreases. Where men are required
by law to pay their debts and are not
sheltered and encouraged in tricky
courses by unreasonable exemption laws
and by a public prejudice against cred
itors as q class the risk is naturally less
serious"

Better Banking Facilities Needed.


Discussing the poor credit and bank
ing facilities Of the west and south be-
fore the last meeting of the American
Economic association, Mr.. Thomas G..
Shearman said:
In the III southern states it is impos-
sible that one-tenth of the farmers could
have any bank accounts or could ever
draw checks IN payment for their retail
transactions. In the recent campaign
the successful candidate received the
votes of % states. the defeated candi-
date tho votes Of % The 90 states hold
92 per cent of all bank deposits and de-
p9sitors. Deducting from the other %
states the silver states and a few largo
cities, the remaining vast agricultural
section Of the country, having 40 per
cent of the population and 20 per cent
of the area, has less than A per CEN OF
the bank deposits and depositors. This
suggests what was the real grievance of
this mass of voters, although they did
not themselves understand it. Their
banking facilities are proportionately
only one-sixteenth of the rest Of the
country

MIX SINNERS.

No dairyman should engage in sup
plying milk to the trade who is not
willing to produce a reasonably uni
form amount throughout the year. Un-
even production is a great menace to
remunerative prices. This was the I'M
DERIVING cause that occasioned the rup-
ture between Philadelphia's producers
and dealers five years ago. A fair pro-
portion of the COWS should be fresh in
the fall of the year instead of so large
ly after the new year as is now the
case. The supply of milk is allowed to
fall so low in the late fall and early
winter that dealers in the emergency
take on additional shippers, though
these, like the previous furnishers, may
at the time be producing only a small
quantity of milk. About the new year
these dairies. old and new, by the COM
ing in of fresh cows, begin to largely
increase the supply, and thus the mar
ket is demoralized at a time when by
better management a good and steady
sale could be had.
Some milk shippers indulge a jeal-
ousy toward the suppliers of whole and
skim milk that enter the market from
the creameries at the time of low pro-
duction. Such jealousy is sh~ortsighted.
Until milk shippers shall properly dis
tribute their fresh COWS throughout the
year the creamery may continue to rem
der a valuable service to the regular
shipper of milk, for by thus supplying
the temporary shortage dealers are re-
lieved from the necessity of seeking new
permanent shippers.

IS THIS A MURDER?
BODY OF BABY GIRL FOUND IN
THE RIVER IN WEST SIT.
PAUL.
WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS OLD.
POLICE THINK CIRCUMSTANCE
POINT TO IT'S HAVING BEEN
LEFT To DIE.
WAS WRAPPED IN A GRAY SHAWL.
One Piece Of Baby Clothing Found
on the BOdy-An Autopsy Will
Be Held.

The West side police authorities are
investigating a supposed case of child
murder. Yesterday afternoon the body
of a two months old baby girl was
found in the river near the lower flats
and indications point to the child hav-
ing been alive when thrown into the
water. The body showed perfect de-
velopment and not the slightest bruise
or evidence of external violence could
be found. 1t had probably been in the
water several days, but owing to the
manner in which it was wrapped up
was. scarcely affected by decomposition
and is in good condition for the exam
ination which will establish definitely
whether or not the infant was murder
ed. For this purpose an autopsy
will be conducted at the undertaking
rooms of Mccarthy &, Donnelly today,
/, and Ia the meantime. the police are
gathering evidence, which is said TO
point to the theory of murder -es-.-
The body was found in shallow
water, wedged between two logs. 1t
was wrapped securely in a square
shawl of gray texture and held in place
with new safety pins. The only cloth
ing on the dead infant was a baby's
undershirt and the authorities regard
this garment as evidence of foul play,
as it is held to be conclusive proof
that the child had been cared for by
some one for a sufficient length Of time
to warrant the purchase of baby
clothes, and that it was probably
thrown in the river, perhaps by some
one employed for this purpose. This
theory is held by the police as the re-
suit of claim that they have found
a man on the West side who admits
knowing woman who recently sought
to get rid of her baby, and the au-
thorities will prosecute an investigation
to determine whether or not there is
any connection between the finding Of
the body and this woman.
According to the facts already in the
hands of the police the woman COM
planned of being burdened with the care
of her infant and requested a number
of people to take it off her hands. Sc
far as is known there was no threat
on the part of the woman to make away
with her infant, but as her child IS
said to have been of the same sex and
about the same age as that of the baby
found in the river yesterday, it is
thought possible that the mother may
have finally decided to rid herself of
the child by consigning it to death.
Deputy Coroner Ball examined the
body yesterday, and gave it as his
opinion as far as could be judged from
outward conditions, that the child had
been thrown into the river alive. No
cause of death, other than from drown
ing, could be discovered and Dr. Bali
decided to hold an autopsy today to
settle all doubt in the matter. Should
| the autopsy strengthen the murder
theory, an effort will be made by the
police to find the guilty party.
