Plenty of Money.
Window Reporter:

Window Reporter:
There seems to be no lack of money
to handle the crop with. large as 1T is
and costly as it is. Three years ago
we were told that there wasn't money
to handle the crop and hence the
price was low; that we needed more
silver dollars to make the price
higher; that there could be no pros
perity for the farmer without silver.
We have moved along for three years
in the march of the world; we have
had no change in our monetary sys-
tenn; we have had good crops; we have
had money enough to. move them
we have crop now twice as valuable
as it was a year ago, when the old cry
of shortage Of money was heard
from every democratic stump in the
country, and still there is money
enough to handle it and loads of
money to spare-good money-gold
money-the best money in the world.
Where has it come from? - s-

THE gold that comes down from fl

The gold that comes down from the
Clondyke country seems to have a
mysterious way of shrinking. When
the arrival of the Excelsior from ST..
Michaels was first reported, it was
stated that she had on board 50, 500, 900
in gold. But upon the arrival of the
steamer at San Francisco it was
found that it had not to exceed
81, 100000 of the yellow metal, The
passengers on board from the Clon-
dyke region agree that that the
country there is richer in gold then
at first supposed, and also that there
will be much suffering unless
immigration there is temporarily
stopped. They state that all good
claims there are taken up, and there
is no chance for new corners unless
a rich strike is made in some other
section. ~ s~- ~.-.a 4a}..a-:ns -

CHINESE LOVE LETTER.

to the Correspondence.
Here is good sample of love-mak-
ing missive from the Flowery kingdom.
1t is from a man who desired the daugh-
ter of a neighbor as a wife for his son:
"0n my knees | beg you not to de-
spisc this cold and common request,
but listen 10 the words of the mat
rimonial agent, and give your daugh-
ter to the slave of son, so that the
pair, bound by the silken threads,
may have the greatest joy. In the beau
tiful springtime | shall offer we'd
ding presents and give couple OF
geese. And let us hope for long and
continuous fortune and look forward
through endless generations to the full
fillment of genuine love. May they
sing Of plenty and have every joy, On
my knees I beg you to consider my
proposal favorably, and throw the
mirror-like glance Of your eyes upon
these lines"
To this letter the father of the bride
replied that he would attend to the por-
ton Of his poor and poverty-stricken
daughter, that she might not be with
out bedclothes, cotton clothing, hair
pins and earrings. Therefore 1t was
TO be hoped that the couple would have
constant fortune"

TREE CHANGES ITS QUARTERS.
So Large 1t Took Three Weeks to

So Large 1t Took Three Weeks to
Move 1t Fifty Feet.
An unusual feat in the transplanting
line was accomplished recently here,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. An elm
tree so feet high and with trunk 1s
inches in diameter, with roots and all,
was moved so feet. The tree is the
property Of Mrs. William Thaw, and
stood on the line of the Beechwood
boulevard, where it traversed Mrs.
Thaw's property at Fifth avenue near
Shady avenue.
Mrs. Thaw desired to save the tree,
and Contractor John Eichleay under
took to move 1t. A circular trench
was dug around the tree at a distance Of
ten feet from the trunk. At a depth
of six feet the workmen eYcavated un-
der the tree, bracing the earth above
with timbers. The mass of earth, 20
feet across and six feet deep, in which
were imbedded the tree and its roots,
was then boxed in with planks. Screws
were placed beneath. the whole mass
raised and placed on rollers and moved
so feet to where the great hole had been
prepared for its reception. 1t was low
cred into place, earth filled in as the
screws were removed, and it stood as
firm as If it had grown there.
The tree was maintained in an up
right position by the weight Of earth
at the roots. The whole mass weighed
70 tons. The work occupied about
three weeks, and number of photo
graphs Of the tree while in transit were
taken.
