SHE ROUNDS UP HoBoES.

A Woman Who Is au Expert In Persuad-
ing Tramrs to Work.
Mrs. 8. J. Atwood calls herself the
"Hobo Hustler of the West" and there
Is possibly no other woman in the
world who holds a similar position.
Her business is to gather up all the
idle laborers she can find and put them
to work on the Union Pacific Railroad
in Colorado, Wyoming and other West
ern sections. She has been employed
by the Union Pacific in this capacity
for the past twelve years, and the
company finds her services indispen-
sable
Mrs. Atwood has been in the bust
ness so long that she says she can
tell by looking at n man whether or
not he will make good hand. When
she sees one who suits her taste she
approaches him without hesitation and
asks him how he would like the posi-
tion she has to offer. 1t only requires
the work of about minute for the
terms to be arranged, and the man is
escorted to some corner where others
she has engaged have been congre-
gated.
Mrs. Atwood has no place she calls
her home, but she usually makes Den
yer her headquarters. Most of her
time is spent between Denver and
Portland, Ore.
The hobo hustler" is n little wo-
man agout 30 years of age. She has
short curly hair that is as black as
night. She walks with an agile step
and always has pleasing smile for
even the toughest hobo.-Kansas City

Ll,.nlly associated with Mr. Hay
are Professors John ID. Quackenbush
and William \. Dunning. of New

Ties" gentlemen have built summer
homes on the shores of Lake Sunapee,

So far us variety of scenery, vigor of
climate and ease of access are con-
cerned. this lake is an ideal summer
resort. and every succeeding year finds
Its charms more widely known and
more warmly praised.
But for land owners upon its shores
there Is one black cloud in SunaDee's Y
plue sky. by an old grant of the New
hampshire Legislature n corporation
known as the Sunapee Dam Co. was
given power to regulate the flow of
the lake through its principal outlet,
Sugar River. This stream furnishes
water power for several large manu-.
factories and the Sunapee Dam Com
pany keeps the water in the lake Mt n
convenient height for that purpose.
The result is that the summer resi-.
dents, whose lighthouses, wharves and
grounds line the lake shore, find their
property submerged for a part of the
time, and, again, separated from tne
waters edge by a stretch of unsightlv
beach.
In fact, the corporation has caused
so much complaint that the inbabit.
ants around the lake frequently trans.
pose the first two words of the COM
pany's title, in referring to it.

grleances having been tried and found
wanting, the summer residents decid.
ed to take their case into court. IFS
decision Will establish an important
legal principle as to the riparian rights
throughout New Hampshire, and per.
haps in other states as well.
The distinguished gentlemen named
as plaintiffs think they have invested
sufficient money on the shores of this
New Hampshire lake to be justified I'm
expecting to draw dividends of unds.

NO MAN INDISPENSABLE,
A Limit to the Value of Even tho vaIu-

able Mans Services.
Its mistake for man to think
he's Indispensable" said Mr.. Nozzleby,
"for no man is. Men are valuable,
and they may easily make them
selves very valuable, but when
man comes to think the bust
ness can't get along without him,
or can't get along as well as it does,
which amounts to the same thing.
why he's wrong, that's all. More than
one man has found that out when lie
has set his valuation too high. And
1t is very probable that when he he
gan to dwell ON his own value his
value in reality began to decline; 1t is
certain that one of the things that
contributed most to increase his value
was his forgetfulness of himself.
"As n matter of fact mans inter-
ests, if he is really superior man, up
to a certain point, and that high
point, too, will take care of them
selves, or rather other people will
take care of them if he will sup
ply the motive. There is a fixed low
price for the run of people of average
ability, but none for the man of really
superior ability, that is, if he Is n 100
per cent. man, which is to say not only
of high ability but perfect forgetful-
ness of self and absolute devotion to
business. Any break or flaw or lack
in these qualities anywhere knocks
mans value down wonderfully. Moth.
ing less than the whole will do, but
that will command price anywhere
and everywhere.
Still no man is indispensable; it
isn't in the nature of things that he
should be. No matter who dies, the
world keeps on turning just the same,
and 1t would be just the same with the
business if you should go out of it,

Origin of Chinese opIum Smoking.

Although opium has existed as a
medicine in China for over a thou
sand years. the curse of opium smok-
ing has only been known on any con-
piderable scale for less than one hun
dred and fifty years, and then 1t spread
from the coast inland, the import
steadily increasing, first in the hands
of the Portuguese. but from 1878 in
the hands of the British. This view
of the matter supports the ordinary
anti-opium contention, which is that
opium Is almost invariably spoken of
as Yang-yen--i. e., foreign smoke Tor
tobacco" and not by its Chinese name
and that the habit of opium smoking,
with all its attendant evils, came from
across the seas and was introduced
by foreigners. rs.-Contemporary Review.

Agulnaldo's Statement of the Causes of
the InsurreCtion.

He gave the following three rea-
sons for the outbreak of the insur-
rection
I. The misdemeanor Of the
priests. Spanish, of course.)
2. Spanish laws giving all the
liberties to Spanish subjects and re-
straining the Filipinos i'll every pos
sible way.
3. The occupation of civilian Of
fees by Spanish officers instead of
natives.
AS an illustration of the first rea-
SON, he told this story:
A priest had an eye OH the good
looking daughter of a native. He
put himself i'll correspondence with
the civil guards, whom he bribed,
and had the father of the girl ar
rested ON political charges. He
then took possion of the girl, the
house, and the fortune of her par
ents in othe- words, he had them
confscated, and divided the spoils
with the civil guards. The priso-
ger was put on board of a transport
and exiled to some Spanish island
in the Atlantic where he was put
at hard labor, and where he soon
after died.
Doctors, lawyers, educated men
of all descriptions, even women,
have been similarly dealt with, and
Aguinaldo asserts that even now
Spain holds over 5000 such priso-
ners. In revenge the insurgents
have locked up all the Spanish
priests in the country, and hold
them for exchange - Captain "! II.
