Too Easy for a Dialect Story.

4 woman specialist in dialect
stories admits that since everyone is
becoming 80 educated she has been
forced to invent much of her dialect.
II write much about the New York
gamin," she says. But I never write
what he really says, nor the way he
says it, for, as a matter OF fact, there
is a new gamin, and he speaks al
most as good English as l do myself.
He may not be a purist, but he's en-
tirely too understandable for a dialect
stOry.'

Hard-Working Crows.

"The Crows" says Maj. e. H. Beck
err, Indian agent of Montana, ARE still
blanket Indians but they come nearer
being self-supporting than any other of
the Western tribes. They raised 60, 0
bushels of grain this year, and they
have 100000 head of horses. They also
have a great many cattle, from which
they, get their own beef supply. The
problem of the young generation is a
hard one. Those Of them who come
East and acquire a higher education
than their fellows, after returning to
the reservation find little or no use
for the learning they have acquired"

Not Leading a Duh Life,

Edward 2. Stone 81 Rittman, Ohio,
has a son 4 years old, who has had the
measles scarlet fever, mumps, and dys.
EMERY; has been almost killed by the
kick OF a horse, has had his collar bono
broken by a fall, and has swallowed
strychnine and sunk ammonia. The
other day the youngster fell into a
feed mill and was badly crushed, n
arm being amputated. But he is doing
well and will probably recover. The
chances are that he has suffered less
from his mishaps than has parents
have from anxiety about him.

Curious Case OF Risibiiity Pulling
Chicago Physicians.

CHICAGO, August S.-An interesting
clinic will be held at the county hospital
today, when the most up-to-date fruits of
scientific research will be brought to bear
by the physicians at the institution in an
eHdeavor to discover whether Julius Mat
tas, 531 West 18th street, pored too deeply
into the pages of some joke book or wheth-
er it is because of something which lie
swallowed that he is unable to cease laugh
ing.
Mattas is laborer. Last evening he
surprised members of his family by burst
ing forth in peals of laughter. His mirth
appeared to be unceasing, and after an I'M
renting spell of half an hour Mrs Mattas
became alarmed and sent for neighbors
Still Mattas laughed The situation be-
gan to look grave in the eyes of his anx-
ious friends. but still Mattas laughed The
police were called. and Mattas, still laugh
ing boisterously. was assisted into the blue
wagon. At the hospital stern-faced phv-
stefan looked gravely at the mirthful pa
tient and said he thought it must be a
case of poisoning, but still Mattas laughed
At an early hour this morning Mattas
was unconscious but still laughing and
those attending him were nonplussed

FALSE PRETENsEs ALLEGED.
A Coal Yard That Investigation
Proved a Myth.

bdsar X jackson, young man who
gave his occupation as q real estate agent.
was arrested shortly before noon today by
detectives Parham and Gallaher and locked
up to answer a charge of false preteuses
The warrant was sworn out by Mr.. VIM
l. Thorne of Friendly P. o., Prince Georges
county. Md, who, after stating that Jack
son advertised in morning paper for a
clerk, alleged that Jackson obtained from
his son, Owen Thorne, 800 under promise
that Jackson would give Thorne a position
as manager of coal yard at 81 per week.
In the advertisement 1t was alleged by
jackson that he wanted a young man for
such position and requiring a security of
500. Young Mr.. Thorne, it was stated,
visited Jackson and after obtaining a pledge
to be given the alleged position handed
jackson 500, for which he took a receipt
and stated that the remaining 500 would
be forthcoming in due time. Subsequently
the young man and his father visited the
supposed coal yard and found it to be a
myth. Jackson will probably have a hear
ing in the Police Court tomorrow

Big Chicago Paving Company Taken
Into the Combine,

CHICAGO, August S.-The new asphalt
paving trust has secured complete control
of the Western Paving and Supply Com
pany, of which Volney w. Foster was the
financial head. Mr.. Foster retires from
business. and the asphalt trust finds itself
strongly intrenched in Chicago. The main
hackers of the trust are Mr.. Barber of the
Barber Asphalt Company of Chicago and
New York and General Greene, his asso-
ciate- The financial interests of the Barber
company. the largest of its kind in the
United States, are understood TO be sup
porting the trust with every probability OF
bringing it's final formation to 2 successful
issue.
The capital of the new trust is placed al
between s10,GO0,G00 and $4,000 900 and ii is
the belief Of Chicago asphalt firms not yet
taken into the organization that the bass
on which it is being formed is he same as
the one upon which the Standard Oil Com
pany rests. This plan is to have one great
central company control all of the asphalt
paving in the country, with branches in
every city of Importance, which will con-
troll the local work, but act only under the
direction OF the head.
