 '"The man with the wobbly hand" has become a bugaboo to Bisbee gambling houses. His evident nervousness makes his midnight visits disagreeable to the patrons of the tables. While it is no doubt his desire to cover with his big revolver only the man in charge of the sack, the wobble in his wrist results in every man in the room having a look into the 45-calibre of the weapon, and it does not inspire the same feeling as does the sight of the first born.

 The following is the New York Journals explanation of the multitude of strikes: "Most of the current strikes are due to the increased cost of living. Nominally for higher wages, they are really strikes against wage reduction.

IN the changing summer weather.
How We froiioked meath the forest tfesl,
And sang and danced together.
There was Hope, whose bonny brows were
wreathed
With cllnging eglantine
And whose smile was sweeter than a kiss,
And cheered the heart as wine
There was Joy the merry, merry child;
Upon the wettest day,
How he scattered sunbeams from his eyes,
And laughed the clouds away
There was Love- the radiant spirit,
With fairest face of all,
With Heavens echoes In his voice,
And look angelical
NY companions My companions!
I'm this gusty after-time,
Now that forest flowers have faded,
And the year is past It's prime
Rosy Joy--alas how rarely
Come his footsteps to my door!
And Hopes eyes are ever straining
Toward dim and distant shore.
Love has welded sober Patience;
His celestial smiles are less;
And his looks are grave and tender,
With an anxious tenderness

They are Sorrow, Care and Pain,
But ! would had my childhood S mates
Around me once again

MR.. SPOFFORp ON BOOKS.
The Really Important Ones Few In
Comparison with the Mass

For long time Mr.. Spofford has
practically lived among books. For
years he was at the head of the con-
gressional library in Washington, and
is now assistant Librarian at that in
stitution. The really important
books, he thinks, bear but a small
proportion to the great mass. "Most
books are but repetitions, in a diff
ferent form, of what has already been
many times written and printed.
Most writers are mere echoes, and the
greater part of literature is the pour
ing out Of one bottle into another.
If you can get hold Of the few really
best books you can well afford to be
Ignorant of all the rest"
The kind of books which should
form the predominant part in the Sc
lection of our reading, from Mr.. Spot
ford's point Of view, says the Balti-
more Sun, is a question admitting of
widely misconceptions. Rigid util-
itarians, he says, may hold that only
books of fact, books crammed full Of
knowledge, should be encouraged.
Others will plead in behalf Of lighter
reading, or for a universal range
There are many attractive books out
side the field of science and outside
the realm of fictiOn-bOOks capable
of yielding pleasure as well as instruc-
tion. AS to fiction, he thinks ''it is
wise plan to neglect the novels Of the
year and read land reread in many
cases. the masterpieces which have
stood the test of time and criticism
and changing fashions, tits better to
read a fine old book through three
times than to read three new books
through once"

A POETS LOVE AFFAIRS.
Alexander Pope Paid Ardent Court to
Three Women All at Once.

Inree women All AT Once.
Alexander Pope, little, weazened,
deformed manikin that he was, had
the assurance not only to fall in love
with three women at once, and to
write to all of them at the same time.
Worse still, two of the three were
sisters, and are supposed to have COM
pared notes.
He begins the following letter to
Theresa Blount, sister of Martha, his
other sweetheart, by protesting love
for both in these words:
"You are to understand, madam,
that my passion for your fair self and
sister has been divided with the most
wonderful regularity in the world.
Even from infancy | have been in love
with one after the other of you, week
by week. = This informa-
ton will account for my writing to
either of you hereafter, as either shall
happen to be queen regnant at that
time"
At the same time Pope was almost
insanely in love with another mans
wife, Lady Mary Wortley Montague,
and, while her husband was minister
to Constantinople, Pope wrote her
letters that were mad, if not madden
ing. He said to her:
"There is not a day in which your
figure does not appear before me,
your conversation return to my
thoughts, and every scene, place or
action where ! have enjoyed them
are as livelily painted as an imagina-
ton equally warm and tender can be
capable. to represent them" Lon

In Busy New York.

There is theory that here m3re
than elsewhere in the world, says the
New York Press, does the adage ap-
ply that slime is money" Yet there
are occasional instances in the busiest
part of1New York that go to show
how little some people value time.
Two dogs, still in the playful stage of
puppyhoOod, began chasing one an
other about the fountain in City Hall
park yesterday at about two o'clock,
when everyone in town is supposed to
be at his busiest. Yet there were at
least so men and as many more boys
of the clerk and messenger type who
found time to stop all thoughts of
business, drop all cares, and for at
least ten minutes watch the antics
of the puppies. The dogs were not do
ing anything in particular, but there
was the baTest chance that one OF
them in his efforts to escape the other
might tumble into Me fountain, and

al stopped 10 Dts hiM aOit.

Cure for Water Gas Poisoning.

There have been several instances
in steel works of workmen being poi
soned by water gas, which consists
largely of carbon monoxide. The
only remedy hitherto known has, we
believe, been the TRANSMISSION of blood,
but another is now announced by M.
A. Mosso in a note to the Complies
Rendus of the Paris Academic des
Sciences. Unfortunately, the rem
edy is not an easy one to apply, as it
consists in putting the victim in an
atmosphere rich in oxygen and un-
der pressure Thus, of two monkeys,
both poisoned by carbonic oxide, the
one left to its own resources died,
while the other, being placed in an
atmosphere of oxygen at pressure
of 80 pounds per square inch, recov-
cred completely in half an hour.
