THE PLAN
~ Which . Society Woman Escaped
Much BOTHER.

~ Which . Society Woman Escaped
Much Bother.
The recent allegations of Smuggling
of society women remind me Of a very
good story, and q true me-. told of a
well-known New York woman whose
husband was minister to the court of
Napoleon III. during the sixties. In
those days there was a premium on
gold. and as all payments in Europe
were necessarily on q gold basis, a
person giving a commission to a friend
would naturally offer her gold to pay
for it with.
This lady, it seems, made frequent
trips. and was much burdened by
commissions to buy such and such a
thing in Paris for her numerous
friends, many of whom neglected to
supply her beforehand with the
wherewithal to pay for them either
in gold or any other form of money.
After awhile the nuisance became 50
great that she determined to take
heroic measures. Returning from a
certain trip she brought back the ar
ticles that had been paid for, but ne
elected to bring those which had been
ordered on credit. And this was the
way she explained it to her friends:
"You see, my dear" she would say,
lit was like this. You gave me an
order for that shawl. The first dav
out went all owe my orders as + was
sitting on deck. I had them all writ
ten out on slips of paper. In order to
arrange them, I took them one by one
and put them beside me on the seat.
Those that were accompanied by the
gold I put with the money on top of
them, but just when l had finished a
gust of wind came and blew all the
others away, among them yours.
Wasn't It too bad? OF course I could
not remember those that blew away.
and SO bought none of them" She
was not bothered after that by any
commissions unbacked by the yellow
metal

Hicks Prophecy,

Every year at this seasOn-Say
from June 10th to 25th-showery.
stormy conditions rise to a maximum.
When this annual tendency is acceler.
ated by other causes, it proves to be
exceptionally showery, with abnor.
NAL tendency to lightning and thun-
der. The most general and brilliant
electrical displays Of the present sum.
mer may be expected from about the
lOth TO near the end II June. This
tendency will be the most marked on
and about the central days OF the
regular periods, say from 10th to 18th
from 18th 70 18th, aud from Dist t
18th. One Of the marked disturbance:
of the present solstice will fall on OF
near the dates Of moons perigee auC
full, the 18th and l4th. Another
very decided series Of storms will oc
cur from about the Goth to oath.
THE cause Of the regular solstict
period is perfectly natural and scien
tifc. The poles Of the earth and SUI
are so inclined as to bring the nortl
pole OF the earth more directly unde
the equator OF the SUP Just at thi
time, hence the northern hemisper
becomes intensely electrified and on
storms OF lightning, thunder and rail-
are natural and inevitable conse
0uences.

The County High School,

W, J. NewbOld, W. H. CarneS and
". A. Maxey, representing the city
board Of education, held conference
yesterday afternoon with the trustees
Of the county high school, and talked
over plans for establishing a county
high school in this city.
The prospects of Wellington secur-
ing the school are yet pretty slim.
The .cao0l board is as obstinate as
ever IN the matter OF leasing the
high school building. Tie high school
trustees are anxious to make the ex.
pertinent Of county high school
however, and are willing to do almost
anything reasonable to get the mSti.
tuition established. They made an ex.
animation of the Fourth ward school
building and grounds yesterday with
view of leasing them. The trustees
recognize the fact that If a county
high school is established in this city
they will have to do it without the
assistance or encouragement of the
rbOard Of education, and they are
Working in a haIf-hearted, spirltleS,
Tort Of way the best they can along
. that line.
The committee from the board G.
education gratuitiOusly escorted tn,
high school trustees to the Fourth
ward yesterday to make an examina
tion of the hui ding, and then lef
them with the county commissioner
to talk over its beatitudes and ad
vantages. The matter was discussed
at length by the board and trustees
but no action was taken.-Journal

Raised the Assessment,

The county commissioners this
morning raised tue assessment on the
plant I'll the Daily Mail from 500 to
$500. This is The lowest assessment
on any printing plant in the city.
The li>Jed price Of the Mail printing
plant is s., 400, and there is mort
gage on file in the Office Of theregister
Of deeds to L. E. RetOn, manager Of
the Kansas City branch OF the Amer
lean Type Foundry, for that amount.
When the assessor called upon Rich.
ards for the purpose Of listing his
plant the valuation was given at $500.
The assessor was dubious and refused
TO list 1t at that price until the valu-
alton vas sworn to. Richards took
oath that that the plant was worth
only $500 and the assessor was com
PEELED 0 accept his valuation. The
board Of county commissioners, which
is at present sitting as a board of
equalization, being cOgnizant OF the
real value OF the plant, called upon
Richards yesterday afternoon to show
cause Why his printing Office should
not be assessed at a fair price and
that body was thereupon treated
to lengthy and winded argument
showing that the plant really wasn't
worth the trouble it took to get 1t
here. Richards also produced some
mathematical calculations of a more
or less reliable nature to prove his
assertions, but the board soon became
lost in maze of figures and asked
him to settle the matter by swearing
y Its actual value. ThereupOn the
kditor deposed and upon oath again
/swOre that the entire Mail and Star
office, presses, type and the mortgage
combined, we're not worth to exceed
$780, The commissioners expressed
their opinion of his oath by going
ahead and raising the assessment to
S900.-JOurnal, Thursday.
