the leaves upon the trees along the noun

sign is to the Indians an infallible omen.
The cattlemen base their prediction upon
the appearance of stock. They cay that
when range cattle have light growth Of
hair they are pretty sure that the winter
will be mild and feel safe in arranging ac
cordingly. Last winter, for instance, they
say that cattle put on very heavy coat Of
fur and the usual result of a hard winter
followed. Cattlemen say that this fall stock
has a very light coat of fur. Ranchmen
report thin corn husks which is their sign
of an open, warm winter.

MONEY FOR CUBAN OFFICERS
Governor General Brooke Consider
Ing Availability of Giving $500
to Incapacitated officers.

HAVANA, Nov. 12.-Governor General
Brooke is considering the advisablity Of
giving 5000 each to Cuban officers who were
ncapacitated during the war, out of the re-
mainder of the army gratuity of $3,0000O0.
1t is understood that the Havana papers,
which have lately been attacking Senior
Segrario, the Spanish consul general, and
which have recently ceased their attacks
on the Cubans have been influenced to this
course by the rich Spanish commercial ele-
ment of Havana which has refused to sup
port such a policy. 1t is also understood
that the shareholders in Spain of these
papers have protested against the policy.
Secretary of State Capote wishes the gov

"Eircd.v

The suspension OF Night Police Sergeant
Bergman is the subject of much discussion
among the rank and file OF the local demo-
cratic party and all sorts of stories in con-
nection with the police department are float
ing around on the streets. Bergmans friends

investigation of the department and promise

Gratis secured control, in the spring Of 1898,

Mayor Jennings has promised Bergman that
his case shall be thoroughly investigated and
is said to be also inclined to hold general
inquiry into the entire department.
Chief Bixby takes exception to some OF the
stories in connection with his suspension OF
Sergeant Bergman that are current on the

Some Observations by II Cynical OF,
bachelor.


A cynical old bachelor lately remarked, in
the hearing of woman reporter of the
Washington Times, that he wondered what
had become of all the crying women. He
said that he had not seen a woman cry in
some years and that so far as he could see
there are just as many things to cry over
as there ever were and just as many women.
He did not object to the absence of tears;
he only wondered about It,
This thing has received attention of va
rious kinds before now. 1t was first no
ticed in the novels. The young woman iu
modern fiction does not do nearly so much
weeping as she used to do. To be sure,
she has not always so much excuse for it..
When a young woman was carried away
by fierce and determined lover whom she
did not want, and told that unless she mar
ried him at once her family and all her
immediate friends would be killed, there
was really a considerable excuse for tears
and swoons on her part. This type Of
heroine nourished in the beginning Of the
present century. She was followed by the
kittenish heroine, who cried as a child
does, to get something she wanted-and
usually got it, If it happened not to be the
moon or anything equally unattainable.
Sometimes she was young lady of reli
gious ISediections and shed tears over
the sorrows OF Others or over her own re-
ligious sentiments. 1t has been estimated
by careful statisticians that Miss Ellen
Montgomery, heroine OF THE Wide, Wide
World" must have shed at least five gal
Ions two quarts and one pint OF tears in
the course OF her adventures in two vol
umes. But the young lady in the modern
work of fiction does not cry If she is Of
passionate nature she now and then
bursts into a storm of sobs," but she
does not often do it, as old-fashoned people
would say, before folks" She is more
likely to preserve a calm and more or less
uncomprehended silence Another type of
modern heroine is the CHEEKY girl who en-
dures all her tribulations in silence, or
laughs about them, and is the sunshine of
the family circle while her heart is Sc
cretly breaking. 1t must be confessed that
this type of young lady would be consid-
erably more to the taste Of the ordinary
man than the old fashioned type of fearful
patience The mans woman"-courage-
Gus, gay, tolerant and reserved as to her
private feelings-is coming to the front in
fiction, and this ideal is decidedly worth
by the novel-reading girls Of
today.

DENISON, Ia, Nov. 12.-(Speclal Tele-
gram Twenty OF the injured men in

Accommodations were so limited, owing to

number of the least injured have been lodged

all are improving and physicians have con-
fidence that none will die.
Considering the large number of men on
the wrecked train and the number of in
jured railroad men state that 1t is wonder
full that there have been no fatal casualties

and efficiency OF the relief measures that
the railroad company instituted. A wreck
