Paper Clothes.

Paper clothing, a recent invent
ion, does not seem to have made
much of a warm weather hit with

make the man, and that paper suits
would be relief, but you can wear

sorts along the line of the St. Paul

popularity known as the Duluth
Short Line, and the line to take
when going between the Twin Cit

Falls and other points, is famous
for it's summer resorts, near at
hand and far away, which should

was a large, square wooden pillar
supporting overhead a big cross
beam, upon which, suppose, the in
ner ends of the floor beams rested.
When he had laid the goods down on
the counter, he picked up the card
that he had brought in with them
and turned toward the square pillar
in the center Of the store. He had
located it when he came in, or l
guess he knew it. He and the store
keeper didn't talk very much, but /
thought they seemed to know each
other. No doubt he had been there
before.
1.-The big, square post was covered
with just such cards as he had
brought in, tackled on all over, all
around as high as man could reach,
and I couldn't see where he was 60
ing to get his card in, but he walked
over to the post just as though there
were plenty of room there. He took
a paper Of tacks out Of his pocket
and sifted out four into the palm of
his left hand and then put them into
his mouth. Then he placed his pla-
card against the side of the post
and pushed it up until the bottom
Of it was clear of the top of the high
est card Oh that side. He could do
this because he was pretty tall, and
he was simply holding on to his card
at the bottom. But I couldn't see
yet how he was going to reach up to
tack it at the top.
but he trued it up on the face Of
the post with both hands calmly,
and then, holding it with one hand,
he reached into his outside coat pock-
ct for his hammer. 1t was just a
small tack hammer with rather a
long handle. He carried the head of
the hammer up to his mouth, and
when he sithdrew it there was a
tack sticking to the face of it. The
head of the hammer was magnetic
ed, and the smooth, fiat top of the
head of the tack stuck to it's face, the
point projecting in line with the
hammers head. All he had to do
was to reach up. With single tap
he drove the tack through the card
at one corner away up at the top
easily. Then he drove tack through
the other upper corner in the same
manner, and then he drove in q cou-
pie of tacks at the bottom and Drop
ped the hammer in his pocket. Then
he went out and got on his wagon
and drove off. New York Sun.

A Travellers Tale of an Uncommon Ep

A Travellers Tale of an Uncommon Epi
sode In Country Store.
"Standing one day in country
store,' said a traveller, II saw drive
up a travelling dealer who carried
his stock with him, his turnout be-
ing of a kind more commonly seen
years ago than now, in these days
of easier railroad. communication
and more frequent drummers. The
wagon was big and heavy, but the
body hung gracefully on platform
springs, the rear hanging little
lower than the forward end. The
running part was stout, but we'll de-
signed and finished. The body of
the wagon was like long, deep box,
the top being fixed and permanent.
For space of perhaps three feet
forward from the rear end the
body was built up little higher,
with vertical face at the front,
down to the roof. It was as though
the rear end of the wagon had been
carried up a low story higher than
the rest. Midway between the face
of this higher rear part and the
drivers seat there was another high
er section extending across the roof
from side to side, but narrow.
1.-THE sides of the wagon body were
paneled off. The holdings marked
the spaces into which the interior
was divided, and access to the COM
partments was had by doors in the
sides and the end. The seat at the
forward end of the wagon was capa-
cious and comfortable, and there
was over it substantial leather top
that would keep out any weather.
Attached to this wagon there was a
pair of big, good looking, well fed
horses that could haul it anywhere.
Take it all together, the outfit had
an air of solidity, combined with no
small degree Of rakishness. It was
an outfit such as any man might
reasonably be proud of.
II don't remember what he was
selling, but it was something packed
in boxes. He brought in a sample
he was rather tall man, with a
beard, with a good humored eye and
q quiet manner-and the merchant
bought some. Then he went out to
his wagon again and brought in the
goods, and he brought with him a
cardboard placard which evidently
he intended to put up in the store.

A Good Meeting.
Observation-Disclosures

The trades assembly held an
interesting meeting last Mon
day evening. The matter OF
(holding a Labor Day picnic
was brought up. This question
was brought up early this year
in order to give the different
unions an opportunity to ex-
press an opinion as to where
the picnic should be held. A
committee of five, consisting of
A. Figlmueller, Mcintyre, Vim.
Harkin, Parker, H. A. Holt,
was appointed to visit the var
ious picnic grounds and ascer-
tain the best rate that can be
secured.
Resolutions were presented
from the tailors union placing
r. Beaudette, an east end tailor
on the unfair list. The assem-
bly, endorsed the action of the
tailors union, and requested all
union men not topatronize this
firm. The organizer reported
that BE had succeeded in orga-
nizing the millers of the east
end. This new union will re-
ceive it's charter from the A. +.
of L. in a few days.
The unfair committee re-
ported that there was very lit
tie demand for the Cleveland
Consolidated Steel and Wire
company's goods in the city.
The merchants say they do not
care to handle their goods. The
same committee reported that
the sale of Armour's meats is
decreasing. Names of butchers
who have stopped handling
the goods are reported at every
meeting. The same can be
said as to Gund's La Crosse
beer. The saloon keepers find
the handling of this beer un-
profitable.
The resignation of J. J..
Brandt, financial secretary OF
the assembly, was presented
and accepted, and John S. Nc

stopping and Starting Electric Cars.

stopping and Starting Electric Cars.
It takes just as much electric power
to start car as 1t would animal power,
and 1t requires less current to keep
the car moving than to start 1t, so that
great number Of starts and stops
means a large consumption of energy.
In the American Electrician there APP
pears an article In which the actual
figures for these two cases are given
It Is shown that the cost OF one stop
on each trip OF car during year on
a flfteen-car line may amount to $40,
or to S467 for 10O-car road; so that
II these figures are multiplied by two
stops at each crossing on a rod oper-
atlng long lines the large cot Is evil
dent. Careful handling Of the con-
troller will save over $1,000 a year on
15-car road and $1,000 rtr " ri
q 100-car road. The difference be-
tween q careful motorman who has
been well instructed and a carsless one
may amount to from 3 to per cent
Of the total energy consuled. It IL
perfectly safe, according to this au-
thority, to say that 10 per cent OF the
energy can be saved by more care
full handling Of the controller, while
on most roads at least Is per cent
could be saved without doubt. The
maxim Of every motorman should be:
use the brake as little as possible
and drift as much as possible" The
employment OF skilled motormen ca
pable Of understanding the mechanism
they handle would result IN a saving to
the trolley companies. even though q
higher salary we're paid the men. and
at the same time add much comfort to
the passengers.

When the demand was made for the

said, lay in its continued increase
Hence the purchase of silver and the
issuance of Sherman notes must be

The proof is being furnished every day
that there is no end to the exactions Of

In a late issue the New York World

ION the very last day of the session
the president sent to congress recon-

But he did the right thing not only at
the wrong time but in the wrong way.
There was no hope of favorable action
by the senate, and the president nulli-
fed his recommendation by saying,
our money is all good now'-in face of
the fact that we have $50, 200, 900 silver
dollars extant worth intrinsically less
than 45 cents each. Only blind parti-

monopoly, wsre. and slrlkes.

An indianapolis newspaper man went
out among the coal miners the other
day to, investigate the strike. This is
what one of the old miners said to him:
~ can remember time when miners
made from 81 to So per day, and could
work every day. At that time the coal
lands were not all monopolized. One
or two miners could go and open bank
in the side of hill and dig coal and
haul it to town and sell it. Any miner
who wanted to work could do so, and
as they could make from 81 to So per
day working for themselves mining
companies were compelled to pay as
much Those were good old days, but
they are gone. The operators have
bought mp all the coal lands, and 81
though there are millions of acres OF
coal lands that have never been touch
ed, the miner Is not allowed to sink his
pit in any of this land; he is virtually a
slave. He can work only when it
pleases these lords of the earth and at
whatever price these lords see fit to
pay him."
1t doesn't take man Of extraordi-
nary brain power to see the connection
between monopoly, wages and strikes
with an object lesson like this before
him. Nor to see upon what basis mo-
nopoly rests. What the old miner says
of coal is true today of the gold, silver,
iron and copper deposits of the country.
Petroleum and natural gas also are in
the hands of private monopolists. Let
the people be thankful that there is mo-
injunction out as yet restraining them
from breathing the pure air of heaven
or of bHsking in the sunshine!
Still some people can't see why in the
world times aren't just as good as they
used to be, and lay the trouble to the
tariff, or the currency, or overproduc-
ton, or too much education, while the
monopolist winks wisely and proceeds
to squeeze out Of the dear public the
last vestige of life remaining.

A banker sauntering home for his
dinner saw a $40 bill lying on the curb
stone. OF course he picked It up and
took the number in order to find the
owner While at home his wife re.
marked that the butcher had sent in a
bill for meat amounting to $40. The
only money he had with him was the
bill he had found, which he gave to her
and she paid the butcher. The butcher
paid it 10 the farmer for calf and the
farmer paid it to the merchant, who in
furn paid it to the washerwoman; and
she owing the banker a note Of $40,
went to the banker and paid her note.
The banker recognized the bill as the
one he had found, and which up to that
time had settled $50 of debt On q
more careful examination he found
that the bill was counterfeit Now
