LITERARY NOTES.
Mrs. Mckinley Bestows Favors.

The wife of the President has given
special permission to John Philip
Sousa, "The March King" to dedi-
cate to her his new composition, just
finished, and which will be called
"The Lady of the White House"
Mrs. Mckinley forwarded her per.
mission last week to the editor of
Tile LaaieS' Home /onrnaL which
will publish the Sousa composition
complete in its next issue. This maga-
zine has also received for the same
number a new and large portrait Of
Mrs. Mckinley, taken a few days ago
in the White House conservatory.
This is the second photograph which
the Presidents wife has allowed to be
taken within ten years, the first por-
trait taken of her since 1887 having
also gone to Tie La6ies' H0me
J0a,naL which published it in its last
October number, causing the entire
edition of that issue to be exhausted.

Chicago seems to be the first city
proposing to make extensive use OF
the motor cycle for business purposes.
Horses are the worst enemy to asphalt
streets. 1t is not the wagon, not even
the huge trucks, that grind the streets
to pieces, but the hammering of iron
hoofs. If the motor cycle truck which
has been invented is really successful,
then every street in every city can be
paved with asphalt. The wheels of
great trucks can be covered with
rubber, and they will glide easily and
swiftly along, propelled by the motor
inside of or beneath them. Then dust,
noise, the uncleanliness attendant
upon stables and horses in city, will
all be done away. All this is easily
possible and practicable.

LEGS LOST IN BATTLE.
Evidence That the Soldiers was Not Try
ing to Avoid the Enemy.

Evidence That the Soldiers was Not Try
ing to Avoid the Enemy.
Il can tell almost to certainty to
which branch of the service he be-
longed when see an old soldier stalk
ing around on one leg" said Colonel
Lamar Fontaine, of Mississippi, the
famous Confederate scout and poet.
IF the left leg is missing then | am
pretty certain he belonged to the in
fantry, and if he is minus the right
leg, then l feel safe in betting that he
was a cavalryman. In either case the
absence of the leg proves more con-
clusively than the written record that
the man who lost it was fighting like
soldier when wounded
The reason the infantryman loses
the left leg in battle is this: Infantry
men are drilled to place the left foot
forward when firing in order to balance
the body so that steadier aim can be
taken. This naturally acts as a pro-
lection to the right leg, which. of
course, is more or less concealed. Con-
sequently the bullet of the enemy is
much more apt to find Judgement in the
left leg than the right Now, the cav
alryman uses a pistol nearly alto
gether. 1t is handler and less cumber-
some. The pistol is held in the right
hand, and this causes the cavalryman.
when firing, to place his right foot for
ward for support. In this way that
side Of him is much more likely to suf-
fer than the left. But as said, either
case is conclusive evidence to me that
the soldiers thus MANNED were facing
the enemy when shot. The loss of the
leg indicates almost to a certainty that
the sufferer was standing in military
position and not crouching or run

REASONING OF A MONKEY.
BY Frightening "a Fruit-seller, He Secured
Good Meal.

ny arru1L-Seller, u H0 secured
Good Meal.
Monkeys love by nature to initiate
what they see, and have been known to
smoke pipe, and to pretend to read a
book that they have seen other people
reading. But sometimes they can do q
great deal more than this and show
that they can calculate and reason bet
ter than many men, says Lang's Ami
NAL World
A large Abyssinian monkey was one
day being taken around Khartoum by
its master and made to perform all
sorts of tricks for the amusement of
bystanders. Among them was a date
seller, who was squatting on the
ground beside his fruit. Now the mon
key was passionately fond of dates, but
being very cunning was careful not
to let this appear, and went on per-
forming his tricks as usual, drawing
little by little, nearer to the date-bas-
ket as he did so.
When he thought he was near
enough for his purpose he first pre-
tended to die, slowly and naturally,
and then, after lying for a moment on
the ground as stiff as corpse suddenly
bounded up with scream straight in
front OF the date-seller's face and
stared at him with wild eyes.
The man looked back at him SPELL
bound, quite unaware that one of the
monkeys hind feet was in the date
basket, clawing up as much fruit as
hls long toes could hold. By some
such trick as this the monkey managed
to steal enough food daily to keep him
fat and comfortable.

DEPEW TAKES TO THE WHEEL.
The President of the New York Csntra
Surrenders to the Bicycle Craze.

The President of the New York Central
Surrenders to the Bicycle Craze.
There was a subdued air of excite
ment around the Grand Central Sta
ton. The atmosphere was strongly
tainted with smell of iodine and lini-
ment. Telegraph instruments clicked
noisily all the day, and 1t wasn't long
before it was known from one end of
the line to the other that the president
had taken to riding a wheel. That
Chauncey M. Depew. after sixty-three
years of total abstinence, suddenly
should go on violent and prolonged

at Mr.. Depew as he sat in his office
confirmed the report that he is at least
an enthusiastic wheelman. Sundry
scratches showed that all had not been
smooth sailing on the start, but the
contour of his face showed remark
able resemblance to the bicycle face

A year ago Mr.. Depew was the stout

and violent attack. He learned to ride
with remarkable ease. and announced
that he would keep at 1t for all time:
He smilingly said that he was not a

NEWS FROM TIE KLONDIKE.
Harry Bush, Of Belefonte, Relates Some
Interesting Incidents.

Harry Bush, OF Bellefonte, who re-
turned from Dawson City some
months ago and who is now the guest
of his Uncle, John S. Tomb, in Jersey
Shore, relates some very interesting
indidents concerning his trip, and the
customs of the newly settled country,
etc. "The great trouble at present"
says Mr.. Bush, ''is that the majority
of the people who will go to the gold
fields in the spring are under the i'm
preston that they will be able to find
gold with much less difficulty than
they really will. The very best claims
were all taken up before the news of
the rich finds were made known" "
From a friend at Seattle, Mr.. Bush
learned that an English company was
making preparations to start stage
line from Edmundtown. This will
save a great deal of time, as the line
will be swift one. The stations will
be located IA miles apart and it is
expected that it will take but one hour
to go from one to the other. at is a
novel way which the miners have tor
paying for their liquor continued
Mr.. Bush. "For glass Of poor
whisky the miner lays his bag Of dust
on the bar, and all the dust that can
be taken up in one pinch of the bar
tenders thumb and first finger is con-
sldered the equivalent to the price Of
a drink. This small amount of dust
is worth from 81 to $I.a5. Money is
spent with great freedom in the dance
halls. Besides paving the proprietor
a dollars worth of dust for the privil-
eye of dancing. l have often seen
miners bid as high as $40 for the
hand of a favorite dancer in short
dance"
One of the exciting adventures Mr..
Bush relates is of the time tina, he &C
cldentially fell into a gold pan and
was carried down the steep ascent of
about a mile at an extremely rapid
rate. He fortunately escaped without
serious injury. Mr.. Bush will again
visit the Klondike region in company
with young Philadelphia and will
start from Seattle the first part of
March. He thinks this is the very
best time of the year to make the
journey, as the crust on the snow is
of sufficient strength to bear the
horses and sleds. Bush and his
friend will devote their time to re-
locating claims in the Canadian terri
tory. In this territory disputes are
settled in an amlcable manner by the
commissioners, while on the American
side there is more shooting going on.
Mr.. Bush will return to his home IN
Belefonte in few days.

CAR HORSES HARD TO GET.
Since Electricity Was introduced the
NInrltet Channels Have Becn Closed.

Since Electricity Was introduced the
Market Channels Have Been Closed.
One of the most curious effects OF
the general replacing of horses by
electricity and cable traction for draw
ing street cars is being experienced by
one CT the extensive car lines. in New
York city which still uses horses. The
Sun says one would suppose that, since
the only lines in the whole country
which continue to use horses now form
but very small percentage of those
which used them five years ago, these
lines would have a much wider range
of choice, and could get horses of a
grade superior to the general run of
those which used to be offered to them.
Remarkable as it may seem. this is
the exact opposite Of the truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs In direct competition with the
cable lines of the upper west side, and
its managers, who recently purchased
1t, determined as soon as they came
into possession to place upon 1t su-
perior lot Of horses, and in this way
propulsion could be introduced. Orders
were sent out to buy the needed horses.
Much to the surprise of the managers,
1t was discovered that there were al
most no street-car horses of any kind
to be bought
The explanation OF this situation
lies in the fact that since the demand
for street-car horses almost ceased, the
trade machinery by which they
were gathered has fallen into
disuse. A few years ago the
street-car horses were one of the
most important features of the
horse market. They were animals of
a standard grade and of almost stable
price, and every part of the country
contributed its quota. The street-car
horse had to be big and able, and
sound of limb and wind, but it might
be of any age. Few lasted long enough
in the service to make the question of
a few years more or less of any con-
sequence. The demand was constant,
and the price never varied in New
York more than from about S125 to
$3.50 each. Dealers could always count
upon getting this price and getting it
promptly, and as a consequence every
horse which would answer the purpose
was a safe investment at little small
er price, and a clean profit of $40 a
horse was regarded as a fair margin in
handling them.
Horses of all sorts, which lacked the
qualities of speed, beauty or youth, but
possessed the other requirements, were
quickly sorted out from the markets
of the whole country, and every big
dealer was always able to gather
droves of car horses as fast as the
companies needed them. The trolley
has superseded the car horse, and car
horses are no longer quoted as staples
in the market. The companies which
still use them are Obliged to so out
and search the marts and buy them
one by one, instead of simply sending
out an order for 100 or 200 of 500 and
getting them readily

Monthly Liabilities Show Large Decrease
Unexpected Drop In Wheat In the Face oil
Big Foreign Demand.

r. G.. Dunn & Co.'S. weekly review
of trade in Its Saturday issue says:
The monthly report of failures
shows defaulted liabilities of $11,61o,-
I95 in November against $1a,7oo,-
$50 last year. Because of three large
failures for $3,2so,ooo not due to
present conditions the aggregate in
November was only $I,o5o,ooo less
than last year, and except for these
would have been smaller than in
August, September or October.
1t is the season for waiting in most
industries, but at least one other
furnace has gone into blast, and the
lowest price of Bessemer at Pittsburg
after purchase of 10000 tons is
$Io.I5 per ton, with $o.a5 for gray
forge. Eastern holders are sometimes
impatient and yet sure that January
will bring large demand and mean
while the award of ship plate contracts
to eastern firms gives them important
help, though the demand for bars is
slow at the east ard at Pittsburg, but
is really strong at Chicago for agricul-
tural and railway supplies.
Nothing appears in the cotton
manufacture and the lower price of
cotton still hinders the buying of
goods. Lower prices than have ever
been known are quoted for print
cloths, and also for some grades of
prints, and the average of cotton
goods is remarkably low.
The wheat market has deceived
everybody, dropping in the face of an
enormous foreign demand, just when
an advance might reasonably have
been anticipated. The western re-
celpts, 6,SSa,4a5 bushels, against
a,964,62I last year, and for five
weeks 33,96a,5a9 bushels, against
ao,S7I,4s6 last year, are just now
more impressive in the market than
the Atlantic exports. which have heen
4,IS7,47a bushels, flour included, for
the week, against a,o79,457 last year,
and for five weeks I7,6I7,47I bushels,
against 9,SI7,I53 for the same weeks
last year.
Failures for the week have been
900 in the United States against so7
last year, md twenty-eight in Canada
against fifty-fivs last year.
