A Hard Rain.

'It rains great deal in the Puget
sound country" said the man from
that section, land I heard of funny
incident not long ago about it. Some
chap had come from the Missippi val
ley to take up his residence at What
com, on Bellingham bay, where there
are very high tides. When the boat
landed him at the end of the long pier
extending over the tide flats the water
was low and the new man didn't notice
anything but wide stretch of sand
between the boat ard the town. 1t
was in the evening about dark and was
raining, and he went to the hotel on
the front street and stayed there. going
to bed without having gone out for a
walk. The next morning when he got
up he looked out and the tide was in,
the water coming up close to the hotel.
He gazed at the widespread waters for
an instant, and, throwing up his hands
in establishment, he exclaimed. Gee
whiz. but it must have rained hard
last night Then he hurried down
stairs to the Office to find out IL there
was any danger from the flood. and the
clerk smiled four or five times and
gave him some much-needed informa-
ton. "-Washington Star.

USES FOR WROUGHT IRON.

The adaptability of wrought iron
work to interior decoration seems now
to be both understood and appreciated
If we are to judge from the extreme
beauty of nlany of the designs and the
skillful manner in which they are ap-
piled to very various Uses. 1t gives a
bold handsome effect without in any
way becoming obtrusive or aggressive,
as is the case with other metal work,
and may be employed for the simplest
purposes, as, for instance, the handles,
finger plates and hinges of doors, stair
rods. tenders, fire irons, etc.
What could be in better taste than
wrought-iron electric fitting or lamp
for hall, dining room and library? An
oak sideboard, with hinges and handles
of wrought iron, or a bedroom suite
treated in like manner, has quaint,
uncommon effect, while a door gains
immensely in appearance by having
panels of wrought iron. If an entrance
door is treated in this way a wise ar
rangement is to have the glass behind
the panel made to open inward, like
easement window, and then, by leav-
ing it open occasionally, the house can
be most efficiently ventilated.
In hall, where 1t is sometimes nee
essary to have ABORTION divided by
curtains, an archway Of wrought iron
has much more telling effect than the
usual arrangement Of woodwork, and
when draped with rich velvet portieres
it makes an extremely handsome fea-
ture.
The curbs and fire-irons in iron ara
specially designed to suit the various
styles of furniture and. being durable
and easily kept in order. they are nat
urally becoming deservedly popular.

CHAPTER XII.

Shell, startled and pale, as she stood
before him in the gathering gloom of

Both 1. the Same Box.

A parson who occasionally breaches
in South London arrived to take the
place Of the vicar, who had been called
away on account of some family be-
reavement. and found an old and rather
asthmatic lady struggling up the steps
which led to the front door. He cour-
tecusly gave her his arm to assist her
and when they reached the top the
dame asked him II he knew who was
going to preach. "Mr. So-and-So," re-
piled the parson, giving his own name.
"Oh, dear me-" exclaimed the old lady;
"help me down again, II you please:
I'd rather listen to the groaning and
creaking Of a windmill than sit under
him." and she prepared to descend. The
parson gently assisted her downstairs

Miss Mary Charlotte Crothers, 1901,
Crothers, Pa, read paper on Col
lege Slang" recently. says the Balti-
more Sun, in which she said: ANY
one who has been to Annapolis has
heard the remark that a certain cadet
'bilged because he gauged;' and who
would guess the sentence translated
runs the cadet was expelled because
he cheated You would be puzzled il
told that Cadet Brown was 'ratey,' and
so could go out in town after the
femme he was to drag to the hop;
but it means only that he has privil-
eyes which enable him to go out of the
yard for the girl he is to escort to the
ball. At West Point a modest little
maiden was greatly startled by a ca
det's asking her to spoon with him
the next day at 1880. She drew herself
up haughtily and was about to admin
lister a rebuke when the youth hasten
ed. to explain that at West Point to
spoon meant to take girl walking.
At Wesleyan the boys call the goods
quail and their dormitory the quail

culiar to our own college, we cannot
flatter ourselves that we are free from
the evil, for any one who spends half
day within our sacred portals will
hear an appalling amount Of the Jar
gon issuing from the lips of our state
ly upper classmen. I don't think a
girl has much right to set down as
rough and unpublished poor little
freshman's English when her own vo-
cabulary consists in the main of such
expressions as bone dig pull

'woolly,' simply great perfectly gor-

'flendish,' fierce and that girl looks

belong strictly to college. and until
she is fully versed in the lore, she
doesn't feel able to converse on equal
ground with an upper classman."

MORPHINE BEAT THE DEAL BOX

Young Gambler Persuaded 70 stop
while He was winner.
Il see gambling Is running wide
open in Colorado again." said Walter
Harris. a cattleman of Topeka to
Denver Republican reporter. Il don't
suppose, though, it is. as wide open
now as 1t was in the late sos. was
In Manitou every summer at that time
and the high games that used to run
at some Of the clubs would be an eye
opener to the gamblers Of the present
day. Cattlemen were making money
then. as were the miners, and they
used to meet in Manitou and try for
each others pocketbooks, with the re-
suit that the professional gamblers got
the money. remember how one
young fellow was made to quit winner
against his will. His name was Rich.
He was nephew Of one Of the big
reaper men and his folks kept him
supplied with money, a regular allow
ance. He had been gambling every
cent Of 1t. letting bills pile up for ho-
tel and livery and everything else. His
people sent word that they wouldn't
send any more money, and said IL he
got into trouble he'd have to get out
hiNself. His creditors were Just about
ready to jump onto him, when one
night he made a big winning. He
was playing faro in the club that's
torn down now. It used to stand
over from the depot and was the place
for high play. I suppose he had $4,000
or $4,000 in front of him when his
friends began trying to persuade him
to quit. He was Just like all the rest
Of them, going to break the bank and
all that sort of thing, and he wouldn't
quit. 1t was a red hot night for Man
itou, and with the excitement and all
Rich had pulled of his coat and rolled
up his sleeves. There was doctor
among his friends, and though he
hadn't said anything to Rich. sup
pose he felt responsibility, because
the young fellow had come out here
for his health and had been referred
to the Manitou doctor by the doctor
he had at home. I was watching the
play, though didn't know any of the
people. I saw the doctor turn his
back to the crowd for minute and
fiddle with something he had taken
out of his pocket. Then he walked
over to Rich and put his hand on his
bare arm. You need sedative, he
said. Quick as flash he took the hy-
podermic syringe he had in his hand
and fired charge into Rich's arm.
Rich said OUCH and grabbed at the
place where he had been pricked, but
the deal was going on, and he turned
to. that again. Before half the cards
were out his head settled on the table,
he commenced to draw good long
breaths and was asleep. The doctor
took the chips, cashed them in, then
he took and wrote receipt for the
money and gave it to another friend
of Rich's to keep. Then he took Rich,
loaded him into carriage, took him
out to his Office, and watched over him
until he came around the next day.
Rich paid his bills, but he did no more
gambling in Manitou. They wouldn't
let him play again."

There are very conclusive reasons
why the present tariff tax on wood
pulp and printing paper should be re-
pealed, and there is no reason in the
interest of American industry that
pleads for the continuance of these
taxes. They are now simply an ele-
ment Of robbery under color OF law.
and they should be effaced froSa our
statutes.
Tho paper trust Is now taxing the
newspaper and book publishers Of the
country many millions, not because OF
any such actual increase in the cost Of
producing paper, but because the trust
has the power to extort from the pur-
chasers Of paper up to the extent that
would make Fabricated foreign paper
and pulp cheaper than the prices de-
manded here. This trust has played its
scheme Of extortion to the uttermost.
and congress should at once remove
the tax that protects no American in
dustry and that has become only an
agent to rob tho consumers.
Two-thirds of the wood pulp used in
the manufacture of paper for American
consumption should come from Can
ada, but 1t is excluded by a tariff tax,
and we are now rushing headlong in
the destruction Of our forests, while
Canada. with its almost limitless sup
ply of timber, cannot reach our mar
kets because of the tax imposed by
the tariff.
The two conclusive reasons which
should make congress act promptly are
first, that the paper trust should be
at once halted in it's rapid destruction
of our American forests by the admis-
sion of free wood pulp from Canada;
and, second, that the present extortion
practiced by the paper trust upon pub
fishers of newspapers and books shall
cease to have the protection OF the gov
eminent.
The time has come when any trust
that makes arbitrary profits by tariff
duties must cease to be protected by
the government. Where American in
dustry needs protection it is reason
able to permit it, but where alleged
protection is used only for systematic
robbery, it must be overthrown.
We can now manufacture paper as
cheaply as any country in the world.
There is no excuse whatever for a tax
upon the manufactured articles. and
the raw material should be free, not
only because the general principle is
correct, but because if it shall not be
done promptly our forests will be prac-
tically destroyed within few years by
tariff taxes excluding the lumber OF
Canada from our markets.
Paper and pulp must be made free
of all taxes.as the paper trust has dem
onstrated that these taxes serve only a
single purpose-that Is to invite rob-
berry under color of law.-Philadelphi

Great salt Lake DRYING Nm.

According to the Irrigation Age, the
waters Of the Great Salt Lake in Utah
have receded mile in the past year,
and some persons think that within
the coming century this wonderful
body Of water may be completely dried
up. The cause of the lowering of the
water is ascribed to the rapid extension
Of irrigation bitches. which draw their
supply from the streams emptying into
the lake. There ID now salt DESERT
