The grangers were one OF the strong
groups yesterday Although not partieu-
larry active they we're conspicuous all day
for the stubborness with which they were
supported. There were more people anx-
ious to buy them than unfortunates forced
10 sell One reason for this strength IN
douhtedly was the report Of the Atchison
for January. The increase in net earnings
for the month was S605. $50 the largest
increase ever made by the company. The
January earnings last were S9l6, 762, and
this year they reached 81 522 Gle. The in
crease is at the rate Of so per cent. It
is to be remembered that the January net
a year ago was the smallest for any month
in 1893. Atchison Rock Island advanced
70 l07 l-2 and closed at l07 IA St Paul
sold as high as l22 ID and closed at 1872.
Burlington went 10 12S IA and closed at
the top price.
The January statement Of the Pan
Handle shows gross increase Of 1921, 137;
net increase, $51,2g4; and surplus increase,
S27 $50. The Northern Pacific statement
for the month shows an increase in Let
earnings Of $20I1oI.
Pacific Mail sold as high as 40 yesterday
With the favorable report on the Subsidy
bill, the bears begin to say that its pas
sage would be a small matter after all,
and certainly no such benefit as the bull
contingent has promised. This is true 10

no fear Of exaggeration that, with OF with
out the Subsidy bill, the stock is worth
much more than its present price.
The Leather meeting will take place to-

one share for three Of the common. This
plan would undoubtedly be beneficial in

I. \. Mccoy. n farmer residing neai
Anderson, Ind. is the man from whom
kid" Mccoy gets his name. AS ev
erybody knows, McCOy's real name Is
Norman Selby. He Is a native OF Nil
roy, Rush county. Ind.
Many years ago Mr.. Mccoy was q
butcher at Milroy and. though n quiet
man. was OF remarkable strength and
skill. There was n bully In the town
Of the name Of Condo. Every now and
then Condo would get drunk and make
life a burden to the townspeople and
perchance. give a terrible beating tC
two or three.
One day Condo got on one Of his tan
trums and visited Mr.. McCoy's butcher
shop. He paraded about a short time
telling what he intended to do, when
the butcher ordered him out. Condo
didn't 90, and there Is where he made
his mistake. 1t was but a few mo-
ments until he had to be put In n wag
on and hauled home, and be was laid
up for long time.
Mccoy had given him a whipping
that time can never erase from bis
memory. Mccoy became known far
and wide for this. SO when young Sci
by grew up and began to show bis
prowess he was nkened to the old
butcher. 1t came naturally that he
was called Mccoy, after the butcher
and the distinction was made by call.

Furnish the Kitchen.

1t is a mistake TO lavish money on
drawing rooms aud sacrifice the
kitchen.
Kitchen utensils are Of the first i'm
portance. The cook cannot do her work
we'll without proper tools and proper

A kitchen outfit costs little. New oil

Many women have a natural GIT Tor

artists I'm the art. while others have no
idea at all. and their rooms, despite
costly and really beautiful articles Of
furniture or ornament are always
prim-everything is so very badly

A table in a drawing room should
never be In the center of the apart
ment. Let 1t be pushed away and the
chairs disposed in such manner that
1t may be seen that they are intended
to he sat upon Chairs placed against
q wall or rammed into corners is an
ugly and inappropriate arrangement.

blessements IN the room If II be large

A table upon which ornaments and

day to decorate rooms with trihes'

THE SPORTING WORLD.

The next big event In the billiard
world Is the A. A. U. class A tourna-

championship Of the United States will

who becomes the challenger for the

The only prominent absentee from
this list Is Martin Mullen OF Cleveland,
who won the class A championship
last winter and DR.. Ranney still hopes
to get Mullcn's entry within the next
week or ten days. Mullens time is

New style Bicycle Pumps.

A new style Of tire pump has been
made necessary by the use Of the large
sized pneumatic tires on motor cycles
and automobiles. At first these tires
were inflated by means Of stored Jars
Of compressed air that were filled by
the use of machinery. but devices are
now appearing that enable man to
ill the big tires by hand without un'
reasonable work. One maker has con-
structed a pump which gives a pres

colden Rule For Gravies.

"a golden rule for gravles and
sauces." says an expert cooking teach
er, as that wherever -four Is used the
LIQUID, whatever it may be, must be
cool when added. Flour and butter OF
meat fat Is the base Of gravies, over
which the ignorant kitchen maid pours
boiling water. The sure result is poor
lumpy gravy.
"Straining will take out the Jumps, &c
be sure, but will not take away the
raw taste from the uncooked flour. III

be slightly cooled before 1t Is poured

QUEEN vICTORlA'S HAIR.

Its Profusion, at Her Age, Has Always
Been Wonder. .o
Over 80 years old, Queen Victoria yet has
luxuriant hair, which has for years been
marvel. The court physician, following
Prof. Unna's discovery, has treated Her Ma
jesty's scalp with a germ-dessroyiug pre-
paration, which he has always kept secret.
It is now known, however, that the remedy
for dandruff, the germ destroying element,
is embodied in Newbro's Herpicide, the only
hair preparation on the market that does de-
stroy the dandruff germ. Without dandruff,
hair will grow profusely, and falling hair
will be stopped. Destroy the cause, you

the other. 1t was. open the mills :"
said Gen. Charles Dick. secretary of the

Those three words met with respon-
sive chord from the tens of thousands
who had been idle during the last Demo-
cl attic Administration. and the empty
dirner pail brigade went to the polls and
voted for full dinner pail, and for the
opening of the mills.
"In order to gain some idea of the eff
feet of restoring the home market to our
own people the Republican National
Committee sent out blanks to members
of the National Association of Manufac-
turers asking them to kindly furnish us
with the number of men whom they had
employed in each year from 1890 to 1899
inclusive. as well as with the total
amount of wages which they had paid
during the same years.
"we have received 200 replies. These
show THAT there was steady increase II

factories until the year 1893, after which
there was an immediate drop of 10000 mel
