when | was kid and was holding
down my first job in little Ohio town,
| worked on Pittsburg wire with an
operator who signed G. D. He was a
jolly fellow, and slack times we used
to chat and chaff and spin yarns to
each other by the hour. He was cap

quality in his 'h-a,' 'h-a,' 'h-a,' that
was peculiarly tickling to my vanity.
You know, that's the way telegraphers
laugh over the wire, by sounding h-a

difference in the way it is done, as
there is in laughing with your mouth.

Hard shoes in Service.

1t is said that each war brings out {
demand for quite crop of chiropod-
lists, or corn doctors. This is due to the
poor quality of shoes soldiers generally
wear. Most Of these shoes are furnish
ed by some contractor, who cares little
for the comfort his goods give, and they
are stiff and poorly shaped, thus caus-
Ing much suffering among the troops.
People who are experienced In such
matters say that going barefoot for ?
day Is preferable to wearing the hard.
unwieldy shoes that are given the men
when on the march. Napoleon, who
was a great general in little things as
well as big, never neglected the details
pertaining to his mems dress, and he
always tried to get them comfortable
shoes. Statistics show that a larger
percentage of shoemakers are enlisted
among soldiers than from any Other
trade, but they usually have to fight in
stead of cobble. The regimental corr
doctor Is one of the most popular army
institutions.

LIFE IN A BOARDING HOUSE.
Ten Years of the Table Talk Likely to
Cause Insanity.

A recent writer on women's occupa-
tions accounts for the permanence of
the boarding house as a social institu-
ton by reference to this powerful
impulse of the human breast: I'm a
boarding house," says she, you can
obtain a mustard plaster and a cup of
palatable Cruel and a warm iron for
taking a spot out of a velvet gown.
All these things are dear to a boarder." :"
They create "a home feeling which the
hungry heart of the hotel dweller
misses"
This Is true, but II Is not whole truth,
and il Is unfair to the boarder, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser
Deservedly priced as are the mustard
plaster and the warm iron, they are
not the only. or even the main. things
that give the boarder that homelike
glow. 1t Is the conversation of the
boarding house table that holds him
and thrills him and keeps his feelings
young and homelike. One should not
overlook the spiritual side. Never a
meal without its cheerful greeting and
kindly weather talk. Not even il he
would, could he be left out of those
genial discussions beginning with:
"See by the paper we're going to have
snow"
No one ever feels neglected In a
boarding house. No one ever has any
hungry-hearted hotel lonesomeness
about him there. lt lie detects any

coolness In the social atmosphere, let
him remove at once to one of those es-
tablishments whose landladies adver-
tise that they and the guests are all
one family. In these the home feelings
at times fairly run riot IN the veins.
They are no mere product of mustard
plasters aud fat-irons, but the result
of a great, warm, miscellaneous In
timacy on the part Of the people who
might otherwise have lodged one an
other had they ever met at all. 1t is
an intimacy ordained by chance, but
1t is as thick as that Of twins and as
voluble and unacceptable as the inter-
course Of crate of chickens on their
way to market
The social ties that lash souls to-
gether at a clearinghouse table draw
more powerfully than any mustard
plaster and leave more lasting effects.
Sometimes for good, but sometimes for
evil. 1t must be said. They say dell
cate brain Is apt to break down after
ten years or so of boarding just from
the dripping on 1t of continued table
talk. Like every other good thing, II
can be overdone.

A Womau'a Wit.

Gen. Hazen, the first head of the
weather bureau in Washington, found
1t almost impossible to persuade the
members of Congress to vote for him
the necessary funds with which to car
ry out his plans. One spring, when the

down by the economy loving chairman
of the committee, Mrs. Hazen was the
guest at an after-dinner reception at
the house of one of the Cabinet men,
bers, where the most detestable and un-
endurable weather, untimely and un-
looked for, was the topic of the mo-
ment. AS Mrs. HaZen crossed the room
to make her adieus she was waylaid by
the chairman of the offending commit
tee, who accosted her thus: "Well,
Mrs. Hazen, is this the best your hus-
band can do for us In the way of wealth

sudden fash In her eyes, then an

Commercial and Financial Happenings
Of Interest in the Growing
Western States.
Bounty for Seal scaIps.

Chairman Kendall, OF the fisheries
committee OF the Astoria Progressive
Commercial Association, is circulating
petition among the Gamers and those
most directly interested for subscrip'
tions for fund to be used in paying a
bounty OF 81 each for seal scalps and
81. so each for sea lion scalps. The
fund is to be placed in the hands OF the
secretary Of the association and war
rants drawn against it by the fish COM
missioner. This subscription list is
the result OF an effort being made by
the association to exterminate one OF
the greatest enemies to the fishing in
dustry. 1t is claimed that sea lion
will devour four salmon every "a
hours, and as there are at least $500 OF
these animals lowering about tine mouth
OF the river, 10000 fish or 1000 cases,
representing about $l3, $50, are being
destroyed each day. The intention OF
the association is to have the law
amended 60 as to set aside portion OF
the license money for paying this
bounty, but this cannot be done until
the next session OF the legislature, and
in the meantime the funds are to be
raised by subscription.

BRADsTREET's REPORT.
Inactive Demand and Weaker Prices
Are the Features.

Bradstreet's says: The trade situation
this week may be summed up in the
phrase, inactive demand and weaker
prices. While in many respects the
industrial situation is easier than 1t
was, the unsettlement in the building
trades continues marked, the reflex ac-
tion being exhibited in the unsettled
demand for building material and
weaker prices for lumber and for many
products used in the building industry.
Iron and steel buyers are still hold
ing off, most OF the business done being
for small lots for immediate consump-
tion.
Relatively good reports come from
the retail trade at most centers, not
withstanding the backward spring. but
as vet the volume OF recorder business
from wholesalers and jobbers has
proved disappointing. Finished cotton
and woolen goods remain steady.
Wool is weaker, owing to the re.
stricted demand from manufacturers
and in sympathy with lower prices set
at many grades at the London wool
sales.
/ Relatively good report comes from
the distribution trade in shoes, but
manufacturers are hanging back in
their purchases OF leather, and hides
are rather weaker.
Relatively the best trade reports
still come from the Pacific coast mar.
kets, but better weather conditions at
the South have tended to brighten
trade reports from that section.

14-Years for Highway Robbery.

Martin Everett, an American citizen,
was sentenced at Vernon, b. O., to IA
years imprisonment for highway rob-
berry, alleged to have been committed
about year ago at Grand Forks, B. G.
Six months ago the case was laid be-
fore United States Consul Dudley, and
he presented it to the state department
at Washington, d. 9. The sentence
caused great surprise, as it was known
that the case had become an inter.
national matter. Consul Dudley to.
night apprised Secretary Hay OF the
sentence. His prior representations
to the state department were favorable
to Everett's contention that his arrest
by Canadian officials at Republic,
Wash, was unwarranted.

Negro Distrust of the Jaybiri.

Southern negroes regard the jaybird
with comically grave distrust, says the
Chicago Times-Herald. To them he is
the counsellor, guide and friend of the
evil one himself. The amount of con.
fidences established ages ago between
the devil and the jaybird is to the At
rican mind enormous. Plantation "un.
cles" and "aunties" believe that when.
ever Satan can spare the time from his
frying operations he visits earth, and
he and the iayDird hold a council of
war, devising ways and means wherein
and whereby to ensnare the darky soul.
Before this combination the yoodoo
charm of red flannel, fish-bones, scrap
ings of human nails, and hair from a
dead person is of no avail. The rab.
bits foot is pOwerless. The only de-
fense is "rasslin'" In prayer. This is
highly esteemed, as the more arduous
the 'rasslin' the less work will be
done In the field next day. The jay
bird is safe from negro attack-safe
through fear.

Lawsuit over 100 year. Old.

A lawsuit which has lasted more thar
100 years has recently been settled o
Ireland. In 1870, Robert Smyth, brew.
er, of Smock alley, Dublin, failed. A
dividend was paid, but that was not
sufficient to realize $3.50 In the pound
1t has now been discovered that small
sum Invested at the time by the court
as being too trifiing for distribution,
has, by the accumulation of compound
interest in a hundred odd years, devel-
oped into four figures, enough to pay
of all the debts and leave a good sum
for law costs. Strange to say, there Is
4 claimant for every penny due in 1870.
