A man from an Iowa town register
ed at hotel, and the clerk meant well
in his efforts to be gracious, and land
ed the stock inquiry as to the probable
stay OF the Western arrival.
MAYBE two weeks; maybe month !;
may stay until spring., was the reply.
The clerk rubbed down the blotter
over the signature until the friction
burned the ends of his fingers and then
asked: "American or European2"

ga, you please. No harm, hope.
Orders, you know" said the clerk, try
ing to keep on his feet. And then
this, Groom with bath?"
Room be hangedl Say, young fell
Ter, l want whole soot-how many
rooms in one of them soots2"
Certainly. We have suites for two
or three, or more if you WISH"
"What's four SCOT worth?n
Depends on how high you want to
so, sir, and whether you went the suite
by the day, week, or MONTH"
well, don't want to 90 up more
than one stairway. want it on the
floor right over the office here, and not
too far from the saloon. And, as l
said when came in, don't know how
long I'll stay. You can charge me up
with four days. worth, and if l don't
want to stay that long you can keep the
change. II l stay a month we can
make dicker of some kind that'll be
satisfactory. What time do you have
supper?"
"You mean tea?"
"No. l mean supper. / want to
live here as l live in Iowa, where we
eat three square meals day."
"Certainly, certainly, sir. Any hour
you wish. Meals are served in the cafe
at all hours"
"Where's the dining.room?"
The clerk was getting agitated. He
said something, and asked the guest if
he wished togo to his room.
"Soot, hang you, sootl l said SCOT.
-Four of 'em. No; don't want to go
TO my SCOT until I've had supper"
"Al right, sir. Supper is now ready
in the dining groom, floor above, or in
the cafe on this floor. Any baggage to
go up?"
81 left two trunks on t'other side of
the river, and two more'll be in some
time this week. Maybe my wife and
two girls'l be on next week. Depends
on how like it,"
yes, sir. Hope you'll enjoy the
city, sir. Must be quite relief to you
hardy sons of the soil to leave your
ploughshares and-and-thiugs, and
come to the city for few days"
The Iowa man let out laugh which
nearly upset the bust on the safe in the
office.
"Sol?" he said, with ;another ring
ing laugh. "Soil, my son, did you say
hardy son of the soil? Why, my son J.,
are you still laboring under the old
Bryan hallucination that a farmer is a
downtrodden man? Do l look like one?
You chaps that live in three rooms in a
city are the downtrodden. Soil be
hanged! Say, when l left home May
corn was 800, and was still climbing.
Ploughsharel Where's the TELEGRAPH Of
fee? Guess I'll TELEGRAPH the boys to
take the ploughshares out of the ground
before it makes millionaires out of the
whole family. Wowl"

to carry down the shaft fifty feet tur-
her. Again we were adoomed to dis
appointment. Ny partner and !, who
were now thoroughly in the spirit of
the astrologer, furnished the mouey FIR
another fifty feet. Still no gold. W.
the efore gave the thing up, ard let
our friend continue his work. He has
spent small fortune sinking shafts in
every available spot on the Epsilon
mine, but he hasn't struck color yei.
When left town few weeks ago he
was planning another shaft, but wheth.
er he will succeed in finding anything
| d0u'l know. l firmly believe that he
will not.
81 suppose" the narrator's friend
put in, "lhat the astrologer feels pretty
sore against you at the present time
and thinks that he has been taken in by
the Epsilon?"
"Not bit of it. He still think he
has got bonanza. He has absolute
faith in the gold producing qualities of
the Epsilon, and you could not buy his
stock for ten times the amount he paid
for it. He has absolute faith in as
trology. The stars tell him that there
is gold in the Epsilon mine, and he says
that he will bore through to China, if
necessary, in order to find it. Mean
while, if you know of anv one who
wants to buy that other 100 600 shares
of Epsilon, kindly send him around to
my office. l will sell them for less than
five cents a share. "-Sunday Sun.

And the hoys begiu TO tackle

When the pigeons COO and hutter,
And the robins sweetly sing,

Surely these are sig sof

When the breath of roses, sweetly
Fills with fragrance all the ar,
Aud wild flowers do completely
Carpet woods and meade - fair;
When the matron weeds her garden
Aud the heat doth overcome her,
"Nutf " she says, az beg your PARDON"
These are usual signs of
SUMMER.
when the cars NJ corn are yellow
Aud the pumpkins look like gold,
When the atmosphere is mellow,
just between the beat aud cold;

When on frosty pavement slipping,
Truly. these are signs of

When the bias s, so fiercely blowing,

With welcome all t. greet;
When he ice forms crystal bridges
Spanning over lake and river.
When the snow banks up in ridges

The house Is quite unlike itself
When Johns away.
We miss his whistle on the stair,
We miss the turning of his key,

His company.
And when has CHEEKY letters come
We seem to read between the lines,

STEAM TURBINES.

In an address to the Institution Of
Junior Engineers, London, Hon ChaS
\. Parsons, the inventor, referred 70
the potentalties OF steam turbines
and pictured a special. unarmored
cruiser or q sort Of magnified de-
stroyer, 420 feet long, ~ feet beam,
with a maximum draught Of ]! feet. a
displacement of $500 tons and an in
dicated horse power of SO,O0O having
eight propellers nine feet in diameter
to make about 400 revolutions in q min
ute and produce a speed of about for
ty-four knots. IN Atlantic liners and
large cruisers the weight of the ma
chine'y would be reduced, less fuel
used per horse power developed and
consequently there would be a reduced
engine room staff There would be no
noticeable vibration at any speed
