The utmost interest Is felt in Washington
in the course that ex-Speaker Reed NAV
follow In the coming campaign. The belief
is very widely entertained that he will take
no part whatever in the campaign, but IL
he determines to say nothing It Is likely
that, as was the case with Conkling during
the Blaine campaign, the newspapers and
the politicians will keep prodding at him
in the hope Of getting some sharp express
sion from him which might serve for politi-
cal purposes. The knowledge that his feel
ings toward President Mckinley and Mark
Hanna are not friendly, and that he is ex-
tremely opposed to the policy Of expansion,
even to the extent of having opposed the
annexation Of Hawaii, is likely to make the
dc mocrats particularly anxious to provoke
some expression from him hostile to I'm
perialism.' 1t is not likely that feeling as
he does about expansion. he will take the
stump. and, in the absence of any. express
sion whatever from him. the democrats will
endeavor to make the most of his silence,

Two Widows nna a >attea Milne.

Two Widows nnd >attea Mine.
 good story Is toId aDuut how two pros spectors had sailed n mine in the Galena district In order to rob a cou. pie of rich widows, which resulted in the aforesaid widows becoming much wealthier
 The prospectors had spent their last cent in digging hole in the ground to the extent of to feet without striking anything but yellow clay. But one of them knew of two rich widows who were just spelling to have their money sunk In a mine. Accordingly they spent two nights In salting their mine. They hadn't sufficient money to buy some paying dirt, but they stole this from a neighboring mine and hauled n lot of 1t over to dump into their mine. When several tons of thls paying dirt had accumulated In the bottom of their Mine, the widows were sent for, and while one was talking about the In. crcesing value of the district the other was dumping out all kinds of lead and zinc ore before their astonished eyes.
 The widows bought half interest in that hole In the ground for S1.500. The next day there wns no more ore In the shaft, and the fellows declared they would dig DO longer. Then the widows bought the other half interest at total cost of S2.000, and the men hiked out for Missouri, laughing in their sleeves. But the women, blindly believing that there must be more ore, continued with the digging and at a depth of ten additional feet struck the richest vein of the whole belt. realizing $75,000 In less than one years time.-Kansas City Journal
