Kipling to Write OF Pussy Purr.

same humorous vein the famous
author will tell OF another feline

about animals, and to interest chill
dren in his stories; but fond as he is
Of children he will not write down
to them. He despises the s.twaddle''
which fills so many books intended
for their entertainment, and keeps far
away from t in everything he does
with his pen; onsequently his stories
interest men and women as we'll as

LAWS FOR MERCHANTS.
Demand Protection by Amendment
to the Garnishee Law.

q
Minnesota retail merchants are
preparing to inaugurate a campaign
in favor Of such legislation as they
believe necessary for the protection
of their interests. 1t is anticipated
that several measures will be intro
duced at the coming session of the
Legislature calculated to serve the
demands of these merchants. Two
bills to be introduced are printed in
the Commercial Bulletin Of current
issue, as follows:
Bill lowering the amount OF wages
or salary exempt from garnishment
for the necessaries of life.
Bill making all municipal and
county employees liable to garnish-
ment for failure to pay their bills.
The third bill which may be intro
sduced will provide for a general state
license for all reddlers who engage
in peddling goods in the state Of
Minnesota.
Regarding baking powder legisla-
ton the merchants of the state are
not likely to take any action. They
regard the present law as favorable
to all interests and see no reason why
it should be changed or amended.
In some states Legislation has been
secured against the trading stamp
companies. While this matter has
been considered by the retailers, it is
unlikely any action be taken in Min
nesota.

old Time Gas Charges.

People who are inclined to grumble
at the price Of gas nowadays might
do worse than study a schedule of
charges issued by the Liverpool Gas
light company in the year 1917. In
stead of so much per cubic foot being
levied each individual burner was
charged for, and the price varied ac-
cording to the hour at which the light
was to be extinguished Thus for using
one No. Argand burner up till p. m.
f3 per annum had to be paid. For the
right to keep it alight until 8 f3 18s.

blades who sat up till 10, II or 12 had
to disburse f4 1e;s.. f5 12s. and f6 IS.

house where 10 or II burners are far

a method of taxation were in force

The sunny Side.

A friend was once speaking to the
late Bishop Brooks of a clergyman
whose congregation had begun to feel
that it would be advisable for them to
have younger man in the pulpit.
''It's only natural" said he in reply
to an indignant remonstrance from the
bishop, for, you see, he's on the shady
side of g."

op, with a smile. "Why, you mean the
sunny side! Surely it's the side near

-Courtfng In Cordova.

AT night Cordova sleeps early. A
few central streets are still busy with
people, but the rest are all deserted,
the houses look empty, there is an al
most oppressive silence. Only here and
there as one passes heedlessly along a
quiet street one comes suddenly upon
a cloaked figure, with broad brimmed
hat, leaning against the bars of a win
dow, and one may catch through the
bars a glimpse Of vivid face, dark
hair and a rose ian artificial rose) in
the hair.
Not in any part of Spain have seen
the traditional Spanish loyemaking,
the cloak and hat at the barred win
dow, SO frankly and so delightfully."- on
view. It brings touch of genuine ro-
nance which it is almost difficult for
those who know comic opera better
than the countries in which life is still
in its way a serious travesty to take
quite seriously. Lovers faces on each
side of the bars of a window at night
in narrow street Of white houses
that after all, and not even the mirac-
ulous mosque, may perhaps be the
most vivid recollection that one brings
away with one from Cordova.- Satur-

Swiss Glaciers.
AS the Matterhorn is the grandes
object to be seen in Switzerland, S,
also are the glaciers above Zermatt the
most magnificent. In the Oberland
and at Chamonix the glaciers are fro
zen rivers and cataracts. From the
Corner Graf the glaciers are vast seas
of ice. with lodges of rocky beach,
over which the frozen breakers are
beating. The Aletsch and the Rhone
glaciers are grand frozen torrents of
immense volume, and the icefelds of
the Mont Blanc range are Of vast ex-
tent. but it is from the Corner Graf,
where the spectator is surrounded by
frozen seas. out Of which the snow
peaks rise, like islands. that the mag
ination is overpowered by stupendous
glacial effects. Cor. New York Trib-

willing grace by Mrs. Frost, who com
plimented the gentlemen on their cour-

Arrived at their seats. the shirt waist
contingent was Immediately notified by
the head waiter that the costumes were
Objectionable, and that they must retire.
The gentlemen. however, stood on their
rights and having again obtained the
consent of Mrs. Frost, they were finally

pondent Over Mother
Death Commits Suicide.

Sixteen year old Agnes Kestenschmidt
was found at $50 o'clock last night by
her Sister Dora, dead in her bedroom, at
No ASS Palisade avenue. She had COM
mitted suicide by inhaling gas through
a rubber tube attached to an open gas
burner.
She had taken the tube from a gas stove
in the kitchen. II he girls mother died

long time and Agnes had nursed her
through her illness. Agnes had never
been quite well since. She was very much
attached to her mother and missed her
greatly after her death.
She was the eldest of five children, four
girlsand a boy, and has kept house for
them since her mother died. All the
others worked in a factory Her own
health broke down under the strain, and
she became Respondent.
When her father went home to dinner
she asked him to come back at three
o'clock as she had something to tell him.

her request. AS she stopped the clock at
the hour named, it is supposed it was at
that time she killed herself. Her death
was not discovered until her sisters re-
turned from work at seven O'Clock

do with the taking of her life. Her father
is nearly heartbroken.

DAVIS ASSOCIATIONS PLANS
Banner Raising on Tuesday

On Tuesday evening next there will be
a banner raising at the Robert Davis AS
sociations club house which will mark the
opening of the campaign in the county.
There will be able speakers and a hearty
welcome to the hospitable home of Hud-
son Democracy.
There Will be no lack of speakers for
the approaching meetings; a great num-
ber of young men have signified their de-
sire to gain their spurs in the political
contest. The dates for these meetings will
probably not be arranged before Septem-
ber when the County Committee will
buckle to in earnest. Mr.. Robert Davis
will, of course. take charge of the cam
paign at this end of the State, and it goes
without saying there will be no. loose
screws in Hudson's machinery.
Naturally upperrnost in the minds of the
members OF the association is the annual
outing to College Point on September II,
when, it is predicted, 5000 men will march
through Jersey City led by the little
man." as Mr.. Davis is affectionately
called and President Robert J.. Smith. The
outing will even suTpass those of former
years and there is no lack of enthusiasm
ssnong the rank and file.
Yes. said Mr.. Davis, recently, in
speaking of the outing, st will be a great
event. Never was our party so strong in
the county and 1t Is gratifying to see the
interest displayed among our younger
men,
