No Saloon for Jeffries.

James Jeffries, champion, was read
ing a story by Opie Reed as he sat
with his coat and vest off in his room
at the Midland. He arose and gave
his chair to the reporter for the Star,
and then the pugilist lay on the bed
with one arm resting on the back of,
and his great, square face peering
over. Jeffries is never loquacious,
but in speaking of the future pros
poets for the prize fighter he remark
ed in his clear voice:
Il don't want any saloon business.
| wouldn' take the best saloon in
the United States if you would give
it TO me. There's money in it: but
don't want it.
Jeffries is by trade boilermaker,
and he says he always has that in
reserve.

A Threatened SchiSm.

St Louis Post-Dispatch
The Chicago Times Herald will not
be accused Of any lack of faithfulness
to republicanism. Therefore the fol-
lowing extract from "a recent editO-
rial has the more significance
Before the writer lies a personal
letter from member of President
Mckinley's cabinet to a prominent
and widely read republican in Chicago
who wrote remonstratively against
the proposed Porto Rican legislation.
In every line this letter breathes the
same spirit of arrogant superiority
and assumption of infallibility that
envelops the republican majority in
Washington"
There is hardly IL republican news
paper in the country representing the
wholesome and patriotic sentiment
OF that party that does not condemn
the mad policy of the Mckinley ad-
minIstration in the Porto Rican mat
ter
Partisan loyalty counts for much,
but there is very distinct revolt in
the grand old party" against the
mysterious influences" which seem
to be all powerfulin Washington.
The Times-Herald is one of many
republican papers which are not will
ing to surrender Internationally to
the gang of syndicate politicians who
are in politics for what there is in
it.

ENGLANDS HEAVY LOSSES.
What Ii Has Cost the British ARMY to
Drive Back the Beers.

London, March 2S.-The weekly
casualty list shows that the British
losses will be very heavy.
Mr.. Wyndham's original roseate
estimate that the war would be car.
ried through at a cost of not more
than 5000 lives is bound to be very
much exceeded. Up to Saturday the
British forces had lost 2,130 men
killed. while 8, SO7 were wounded and
3,5O5 missing or prisoners, making a
total of 15.453 To these must be
added 200 deaths from disease, OF
IL grand total of 1862.
These figures, however, do not
make evident the actual weakening
of the British army due TO illness
hardships and long marches.
Gen. Mcdonald, writing from
Paardeberg, states that the Highland
brigade had at the time only "a Off
GERS and !, 900 men fit for duty out

1t would be difficult to say who
made the first iron plow; but in
Scotland contemporary says the
inventor was a humble Scotch
blacksmith named William Allan.
His mOdesty was so great that af-
ter he had made his first pillow, and
it did satisfactory work on his own
farm, he declined to make a second
for neighboring gentlemen on the
plea that he was not as good a
blacksmith as the gentlemen ought
to have, and recommended a neigh
Dor of his, named Gray. The lat
ter became rich at the business,
while Allan renamed as poor as
ever-ScOttish American.

Got His Money Back.

A man who came recently to
Chicago. from Michigan received a
trade dollar in Chicago when he
pad his fare to the collector of a
bus line at the Park row station.
1t was dark when the transaction
took place, and the Michigan man
did not discover the character of
the dollar till the next day, when
he wanted to pay his hotel bill.
He was indignant.
"That fellow thought / was a
farmer he said. '!I will write to
the manager of the bus line and
tell him to send that collector to
me with an up--date dollar. | am
no back number and neither was
the bill l gave him."
The. more the Michigan man
thought about the matter the more
his Indignation sgrew. He had
tried to pass the up-to-date dollar.
I am no back number, in the day
for 80 cents. Finally the victim
of the bus collector resolved to
forego letter writing and to go to
the bus manager in person. On
the way he noticed a display of old
coins in a window.
"Guess I'll go in and see what
the thing is worth, anyway" the
Michigander said to himself. He
went into the store where the CONS
were dispsaysd and threw the
trade dollar on to the counter, ask
ing: 9sWhat'll you give for it,"
The dealer examined the coin in
a minute and replied: '.Tll give
you s1.65."
"It's bargain" said the far
mer,' and with the s1.65 jingling
in his hand he went out, saying:
"Guess won't go to see that man
ager now.'

What Thoughtfulness Will Do.

The truth of the saying that lit
tie things may often times play an
important part to mems affairs
when the men least expect it, was
illustrated one day recently. SSee
that young man over there re-
marked an insurance friend of his,
pointing to one of his clerks work
ing away industriously at desk
in another room. "Well, he got
his place in my office through the
striking of a match, although he
doesn't know it. / was standing
at the entrance of this building
about a month ago, waiting for a
friend to come down the elevator,
when that young man approached
me with letter of recommends
ton and an application for en-
ployment. [ had made it known
a few days before that | needed
another clerk and he had heard of
it. However, | had almost made
up my mind to take OH young
man who had been to see me the
day before, and was about to tell
the last applicant so, when he pull
ed match from one of his pockets
to light cigar he had been smok-
ing, but which had gone out.
Sorry, slr,' he said, balancing him
self on one foot, while he lifted the
other so as to admit of his striking
the match on the heel of his shoe.
Sorry, for l would like very much
to work for you, and | think l
would have made you a good clerk
The understanding incident
made me think so, too. Right at
the young mans elbow was great
Italian marble column, upon which
were the marks showing where
many matches had been struck by
vandals too utterly Indifferent to
the rights of others to refrain from
indelibly stamping their vandalism
upon property, to restore which
would have cost hundreds of dol
lars. 1t would have been the most
natural thing in the world for
many man to have scratched
that match on the marble column,
and the fact that this young man
chose to use the heel of his shoe
instead showed that he was
thoughtful and conscientious, two
very excellent traits. / was so i'm
pressed that / told him to come
and see me, and the result of the
visit was his securing the position.
And his month in my Office has
shown that | made no mistake in
sizing him up. ."-Philadelphia In

produce from farm or factory is in
the usual course Of business; i. e.,
TO commission merchants from
whom advances had been procured
and a pledge antecedently given,
no ground for attachment appear.
2. An attachment based upon
the ayerment of fraudulent dispo-

property or unfair preference,must
be supported by proof of some act
or declaration of purpose from
which the FRAUDULENT intent of the
debtor may reasonably be gathered.

The Growth of the Odd Fellows.

At the annual session of the
Grand Lodge l. 0. o. T. the an
nual reports of the officers were
made and from the report of the
grand representatives we CLEAN
the following facts relative to the
growth of Odd Fellowship that
will interest our readers:
Eighty years ago American Odd
Fellowship was born. Seventy
five years since the Grand Lodge
of the United States-nOw the
Sovereign Grand Lodge-came in
to existence.
Wonderful has been the develop
ment of this Fraternity. In 1919
one Lodge and five members. In
1899, 11,419 Lodges and $50, 961
members.
During the last sixty-nine years,
2,252, 7S4 persons have crossed our
threshold, and from total revenue
of 5000, 1888, ,559.13 during this per
iod, the sum of $SO,993, ,642.61 has
been distributed, not in aims, but
in fraternal and brOtherly relief.
December 31stlast, our SubOrdi-
nate Lodge membership was $50,
961, and the number of sisters en-
rolled in the Rebekah Lodges num-
bered 190,O07. These figures in
combination exhibit total mem
bership of 1,O2O,96S and enable Us,
for the first time, as honestly claim
fraternal affiliations with over a
million persons.
The number of Subordinate
Lodges has been increased by 100,
making 11,419 now in existence,
while the 5,O53 Rebekah Lodges
indicate an increase of 257.
During the past year 65,5SS per-
sons have been initiated in the
former class, and 81, ,671 in the lat
ter.
The total revenue during 1898
was ss,766, 1886. The total ex
penditure, s7,5S2,712.96 Surplus
of revenue over expenditure, 81,
S3,6sO.6O
SS,613 brothers and 5,707 widow
ed families shared in the 1922
9S6.5O. distributed in relief.
The total invested funds of the
Order amount to 1927, 1S5,241.46
a gain of 1896 surely pro
fitabIe showing, especially IN view
of the fact that during the same
time our expenses increased by
S194, 4,572.76 and the amount paid
for relief by $5S,357,O9 while the
total revenue decreased S79,S66.-
