An Authors Trick.

81 used to know man, said a New
Orleans bohemian, ''who made a living
writing stories of travel for boys. He had
never been out of Missouri in his life, but
he was famous for the graphic fidelity of
his descriptions of foreign lands. His ref
ence library consisted of exactly three
works, an encyclopedia, set of United
States consular reports, covering four or
five years, and copy of Woods Natural
History" If the scene of the story was
to be laid for instance in Borneo he would
begin by reading the Borneo article in
the encyclopedia; then he would turn to
the consular report and look up all the odd
and interesting matter he could find,
touching that particular island, and final
ly he would get description of it's animals
from Woods. He wrote at an old table on
which was glued map of the world, Gov
cred with sheet of glass. This was con-
stantly before his eyes, so he couldn't 90

his descriptions were marvels of accuracy.
He could draw better and more realistic
pen picture of foreign countries than
travellers themselves. People thought
that he had been great globe trotter, and

A Year That Breaks Records.

This is a record breaking year for the
United States. The production of nearly
all the principal corn growing States is SO
far ahead of ali previous years that the
falling off in some Of the minor States
will be more than compensated for, and
the largest aggregate yield in the coun-
try's history is now assured. Some of the
authorities place the crop as high as
$500, 900, 600 bushels, which would oe far
ahead of all the best years of the past,
the highest previous yield being that of
1896, which was put by the governments
Department of Agriculture, after all the
returns were in, at 2, 2S3, STo, los bushels.
The wheat crop is believed to have
exceeded all former yields except that of
1898.
In nearly every important field Of in
dustry the production is ahead of any
year in the past The production of pig
iron has been steadily breaking records
for several months, notwithstanding the
large increase in price. The output OF the
wooden and cotton factories is apparently
in the lead of all former figures. Railroad
earnings are rejecting these advances by
passing up to higher figures than were
ever before reached Bank clearances,
which have all along been recognized as
u UdlOLuOlCl VI OuoiuCoo Cod-
ditions, have passed far beyond all pre-
vious totals. This is not only true Of the
clearances in New York and Chicago,
where they could be affected by the oper
ations of the speculative exchanges, but
it is true of the o1her business centres of
the country, large and small.
The government is feeling the tonic eff
feet of these exhilarating conditions. Its
gold reserve has passed far up beyond
the highest line ever previously touched.
Moreover, the tendency in this direction
is likely to continue for a time, for gold
is coming into the country from Austria
liza, and more of it is likely to soon start
from Europe to US. The treasury returns
for August, notwithstanding the heavy
expenditures due to the increased army
burden, show surplus of over 81, 600. 600.
August, it is true, is ordinarily month
of comparatively light disbursements.
The indications are, however, that the tax
laws will, under the spur of the immense
business expansion, provide very nearly
enough of revenue to meet all the gov
ernment's expenditures hereafter, and
may furnish quite enough. In an in
dustrial, financial and political way these
are among the greatest days which the

We reached Habana just in time for the
sailing hour of 'La Cienego," one of the
few native steamers that regularly make
the circuit of the island by the westward
route. Sailing eastward from Habana TO-
ward Matanzas, Cardenas and Sapna Ia
Grande, and so on around to Santiago, is
frequent and favorite trip; but much
more usual is that in the other direction
around the ribbon like province of Pinar
del Rio, stretching almost to the borders
of Mexico, and rounding the sharp corner
of Guanahaca peninsula which forms the
south western tip of Cuba. We STONED

the silence.

Woman Suffrage in Colorado.

Mrs. Elizabeth 3. Harper of Durango,
of Women's Clubs, writes in answer to
letter of inquiry about the direful results
that are said by certain anonymous cor
respondents to have followed equal suf-
frage in Colorado:
at is hard to imagine how such false
reports could gain circulation. To one
living in Colorado and knowing that
woman suffrage has proved satisfactory
beyond the hopes of it's most ardent ad-
vocates, to attempt to speak of its bene-
fits is like writing of the blessing of
health, the benefit of sunshine or any
other self evident fact. | would think it
unnecessary did | not remember that
when the men of Colorado in 1898 voted
for equal suffrage many of our women
opposed and worked against it; and
shall always be mortified to have to ad :
nit that | was one of that NUMBER
"Seeing is believing, and it is seeing
the benefits of equal suffrage not only to
our women, but to our men, that has
made me the most enthusiastic of equal
sulfragists, 1t is our progressive, intel
ligent women, who take the most inter
est in our elections While women reg
lister and vote more generally than the
men, the illiterate and disreputable are
not much in evidence, as they do not take
+ no into int he toll of
the day as their more intellectual sisters.
| doubt if any woman of intelligence, who
has lived where she could VOTE would be
content to live in a State where she was
denied this right.
Instead of equal suffrage causing men
to have less respect for women, one of its
most noticeable results is the increased
respect and Difference with which we are
treated. Besides mems natural admira-
ton for bright, progressive women. they
never lose sight Of the important fact that
we have vote.
$50 far as the home is concerned, we
recognize that the ignorance and narrow
ness of mothers has done more to retard
the physical and mental development of
the human race than any other influence,
and the ignorance and narrowness of
mothers has sprung naturally from the
isolations of the home. If suffrage takes
a woman away from the home for time,
she is worth more to her family because
of her temporary absence.
"After five years of equal suffrage in
our State, know l am voiciDg the opin-
ion of our leading men and women when
| say that the result has been good, and
nothing but good. 1t has made our
women more self reliant, more tolerant,
more keenly interested in affairs of State
and nation and broader in every way.
"When any one from Colorado asserts
that equal suffrage is a failure it will be a
man Tor the wife or relative of a many who
has political aspirations, but whose life
will not stand the test of the women S
vote. To one who is familiar with and
who partially believed in the proph cies
of dire calamities to follow womens vot-
ing, it is rather amusing to see how ridic-
ulous they now seem. In Colorado
women's voting is an accepted fact and
excites no more comment than trial by
jury"
