THE CLERKS MISTAKE.

Thought She Was a Haysced Because
She Ordered Kerosene Lamp.
Just after the night clerk had como
on at the hotel and curled his mustache
to his liking, his attention was called
TO business.
Kerosene lamp for 237," requested q
bellboy.
Kerosene lamps" echoed the clerk
as he whirled the register about. LET
me see. Blondly and wife, of Plunker-
vf1le, in 237. 1 thought 80. Never been
In tirst-class hotel before. Go back
and show them how TO use the electric
light Wonder they didn't send for
tallow candle" And the clerk took
several of the corridor loungers into his
confidence.
Lady says If this hotel can't afford
lamp to send up gas stove, and send
1t quick" said the bellboy, who had
made the round trip In phenomenal
time. "She acts pretty hot"
Pretty cold, should think Go back
there and open the register, show the
lady how to use the water faucets and
how to turn off the electricity. Thank
the Lord, she can't blow it out"
The next word from 237 came with a
rush. 1t was brought by vision of
loneliness, dressed in bewitching style,
her face flushed and her blue eyes
throwing off sparks. MAKE out our
Dill and receipt it at once" she said as
her dainty foot beat time on the marble
thing.
But, Mrs. Blondly-"
Attend to my order, sir. Include in
your bill a carriage and an express
wagon to transfer us and our things.
and tell Mr.. Blondly when he comes In
that he will find us at the other house.
where we will spend the rest of the
season. Understand, we must go at
once. l want to go to hotel where II
VIII be possible to warm some milk for
baby before the little angel starves to
death"
Then the loungers had fun with the
clerk, and the best he could muster was
a slckly grin.-Buffalo News.

Frog Showers In Arizona.

Every once in a while stories are
brought out about extraordinary show
ers Of fish, of bloody snow, ETC., the
latest being of ship captain far out
on the Atlantic who ran into a dust
shower so heavy he had to set his crew
shoveling the dust from the decks
when the weight began to get dan
gerous. To this be there added a tale:
'It rains frogs In Arizona. The old
timers believe there is no doubt of it,
though they can not explain from
whence the frogs were originally lift
ed But this much is straight-let there
be summer rain along the line of the
Southern Pacific In southwestern Ari-
IONA, and behold, the next morning
every little pool has myriad of little
lean green frogs, with marvellous
croaking powers. They don't wait for
nightfall like their more civilized
brethren elsewhere, but keep up the
music by day as by night. They live
where water comes only about once a
year.
''They can't live over the interim I'M
der the sun-baked rocks; they assur-
eddy haven't hoped from the Colorado
River, and they are all Of a size, to
boot. If they didn't come from the
ground or from the river, they must
have come from the skies. And that's
what the Hassayampers firmly be
neve."-Arizona Graphic.

seriously injured. One will die. The en-
CINE and seven cars were demolished.
The wreck occurred at a point near
Clifton, which is so miles north of here.
A bridge which was burned out few
weeks ago was being repaired by bridge
gang. 1t is charged that the foreman IN
charge of the bridge gang failed to dis
play the proper signals warning the engin-
eer of the unsafe condition of the bridge.
When in the center, the bridge, which
was 80 feet high, gave way, and engine
and train were precipitated into the
depths.

NEW YORK Dec. S1,-The upward
movement which was in progress in the
Stock Market at the close of business On
Saturday was resumed in noteworthy pro-
portions upon the opening of business this
morning, Speculative interest was fav-
crably influenced by the fact that the
London market appeared to be recovering
from the scare induced By the numerous
failures announced yesterday, and no al
citionai insolyencies were reported this
morning
Londoq's quotations for American stocks
showed general and substantial advances,
the gains IN some instances being IN ex-
cess OF l per cent.
A further very favorable influence in
the market was the showing made by the
banks in their weekly statement on Sat
urday, which was assumed TO indicate
that there was little further danger Of
anything approaching monetary stringen-
cy
There was otherwise virtually nothing
of financial nature in the news of the
mornIng as regarded the general market
or particular stocks.
Interest centred largely in the rail-
way list, in which some particularly rapid
advances were scored Northern RACINE
