ANYTHING TO PLEASE.
She Was Much Obliged to the Tele-
graph Operator.

She sailed into telegraph office and
raped on the counter. The clerk re-
membered that she had been there
about ten minutes before as he came
forward to meet her. He wondered
what she wanted this time.
"Oh," she said, "let me have that
telegram l wrote just now. 1 forgot
something very important. / wanted to
underscore the words perfectly love-
ly' in acknowledging the receipt of that
bracelet. Will it cost anything extra"
No, ma'am," said the clerk as he
handed her the message.
The young lady drew two heavy lines
beneath the words, and said:
IT'S awfully good of you to let mo
do that. 1t will please Charley so
much"
Don't mention it," said the clerk. IF
you would like it. | will drop a few
drops of violet extract on the telegram

"Oh, thank you, sir. You don't know

BASED ON NOTHING.
Most Of the Fears That Beset Fair
Maids and Matrons.

The cause that implants the spirit
of fear in the bosom of the gentle sex
Is a subject that may we'll puzzle the
most devout student of human nature.
The mouse is considered one of the
harmless of creatures, and yet it has
been responsible for more cases of
hysteria than any animal many times
it's size.
One woman, who all her life has
searched beneath her bed before re-
firing, at one time found herself in
possession of a folding monstrosity,
the intricacies of which she had first
to solve before taking her well-earned
rest. But such is the force of habit
After pulling down the bed she would
carefully look beneath it, for no other
reason than that she had done so ever
since she was a child.
A favorite illusion is that of having
ones legs seized, either from behind
in going upstairs or on getting into
bed. Women have been seen scuttling
upstairs in the dark setting at def
ance all the laws of locomotion in a
ludicrous attempt to keep their legs
some distance ahead of them and be-
yond the reach of mysterious clutch.
Girls will also make flying leaps into
bed to eliminate the same improbable
ity.
Many women search diligently in
closets, bureau drawers and all sorts
of impossible places before resigning
themselves to sleep. An old house
keeper whose table silver, in two bas-
kets, was always placed in her bed
room after the evening meal, was one
night awakened by what she consid-
cred suspicious sounds from the lower
regions. Cautiously leaving her room
laden with the silver, she pitched both
baskets into the hall below, calling
out as she did So Take it all and
please CO." then fled precipitately and
barricaded herself in her room. Need
less to add, she found both baskets
and scattered contents the following
morning, a little the worse for the
rough handling she had given them.

WORKERS AMONG coTToNSEED.
New Machine Which is Designed to
Monopolized Their Business.

An always interesting sight to New
Orleans visitors has been the large
gangs of darkies unloading cotton
seed from the barges at the oil mills,
piling the sacks of seed on the heavy
trucks and trundling them down the
wharf into the mill, singing Justify the
while. The picturesque side Of the
old time method of unloading seed by
no means appeals to the owners of the
mills however Such labor is very
expensive, and sometimes impossible
to obtain. Competition in the manu-
facture of cottonseed products is very
keen, and unnecessary handling of
the raw material must be done away
with wherever practicable. The big
grain elevators, built right up to the
deep water, have long ago solved the
problem, but with the oil mills at
Gretna, built back of the levee. with
their wharves stretching considera-
BILE distance into the river, and with
these wharves sinking and twisting all
the time from the action of the cur,
rent and the treacherous river bed,
the question how to unload their
barge and carry the seed back into the
mills at a low cost has been until now
d very Oht W ais NCi'
The Union Mill Company has re-
Gently installed at its large Crescent
mill at Gretna plant for rapidly and
economically unloading seed from
barges, which seems to meet all the
conditions. The main part of the sys-
TEN is a belt conveyor, running on
trestle work along the wharf, and
thence under the roof of the mill.
Along this conveyor the seed is car
ried from the end of the wharf, $50
feet to a point in the mill, where it is
weighed and either stored or distrib-
uted direct to the crushers. From the
time it is taken from the barges until
it leaves the mill as finished product
the seed is not touched by hand
The present capacity of the plant is
about 400 bushels (seventy tons) of
cottonseed per hour, but this can be
largely increased. 1t is estimated that
the construction will pay for itself in
wages saved in less than two seasons.

Chairman Manley to the Public.

To the Editors Of the Lewiston
journal:
There are many lessons involved In
the September election in our State,
which, IL seems to me, the Republican
party, should ponder well and profit
by. There are three things which |
believe the Republican party must do
in order to retain control Ia this State.
We shall have an overwhelming majority
In the next legislature and will be held
responsible for what we fail to enact
that the people demand shall be enacted.
First, we must thoroughly revise our
systems of taxation in accordance with
the specific promise made by the Repub-
lican State convention, so that every
kind of property, of whatever nature or
description, shall bear its just proportion
of the public burdens.
Second, we must insist that the pres
ent probibitory law shall be strictly and
rigidly enforced in every section of the
State. The people have a right to any
law theV desire. They are the sover-
eigns. They have, whenever they have
had the opportunity, voted overwhelm-
! ingly in favor of prohibition. | agree
that many of our best men think the
cause of temperance would be bett"r
promoted by local option, high license
law. 1t the majority of the people so
think. then that should he the law of the
state; and Can see no possible obj G
tian % again submitting TO the peoph.
the question, which would have 10 lie
presented in proposition to rep 4al th,'
present constitutional provision. But
until that Is doue, and the people vo e
to repeal it, We have plain duty to
perform, and that is the enforcement of
! the law.
The condition today Is that we are
having practical license law, because
IN many, IL not all, the counties in the
State it is the practice TO indict once o.
! wice a year, every man who pays to
The United States special retail liquor
dealers tax. He is Indicted on IN Il
fact, and In ninty- nine cases out of one
bundred settles and pays what is de-
manded of him. This, | admit, swells
he receipts of the county treasury, bui
| submit that it is not the wise and prop
er course to pursue.
Next, we must wipe from our statute
book every law which contains the fee
system. 1t is obnoxious to the people.
Ii Is w. jusr. Pay our officials a good,
fair, generous salary, and let the people
know what is received for their public
services.
Our last legislature refused TO in
crease the salary of the judges. If we
can afford to pay the judges of our
Supreme Court only thirty five hundr, d
dollars, our Chief magistrate two thous-
and, our State treasurer, who has thu
handling of two million OF dollars per
year, two thousand dollars, we certainly
should not pay our county officials all
the way from five to twenty five thous-
and dollars or permit any law to exist
which shall allow them to receive this
compensation directly or indirectly.
