The editor of one OF our ex-
changes remarks that he always
feels sorry for girl who clings to a
fellow who will spend a dollar for
ice cream and chocolates and three
for a Sunday buggy ride for her, on
a six dollar week salary, and sees
visions Of bare footed children, a
frowzy headed woman over a wash
tub, tin cans for dishes on the table
and combination of corn cob pipe
and a man in the corner. The
young man who lives within his
means while single, usually has
means after he's married.

o,,x Game He Could Beat.


William c. Whitney's latest story is
about young frequenter of the race
track in whom he took some little in
terest. After working steadily for some
months this chap took his savings to
Saratoga and at the outset of the race
meeting started in to get all the book
makers money. Luck was against him
and after two or three days OF plung-
ing with Indifferent success he found
his capital sadly reduced. Then he
took a turn at roulette and lost about
all he had left. "On the following
morning" says Mr.. Whitney, Il found
the chap sitting in one of the spring
houses, where one may drink all the
water he chooses for cents. At noon
when | stepped in he was still there.
There he sat at the same table when,
with a party Of friends, l stepped In
to get mineral water night cap in
the late evening. Jokingly | asked him
if he'd been there all DAY. "'Yes, sir,
l have was the reply. And concluded
this is the only game l can beat up

DEMAND FOR HOUR GLASSES.
Some Are Used for Keeping Tab
Plano Practice.

Some Are Used for Keeping Tab
Plano Practice.
Most people think that hour glass;
es went out of style years ago." said
q clerk In a Twenty-third street store
to the New York Sun, "along with
perukes and knee breeches, but as
matter of fact we have more calls for
them today than we have had at any
time within the last ten years. That
this renewed popularity of the hour
glass augurs it's universal acceptance
as a timepiece by the coming genera
ton, am not prepared to say, but II
such n renaissance were to become as
sured it would be no more surprising
than some OF the other recent fads
based on q revival of lost customs.
Anyway a brief study of the hour glass
will do nobody harm. There are thou
sands in this generation who have not
the slightest idea what an hour glass
looks like, and it won't hurt them to
broaden their education little along
certain lines. OF the hour glasses sold
at present the three-minute class is in
the lead. This glass is used almost
exclusively to measure time in boiling
eggs and its usefulness naturally
places it's sale little in advance Of the
more sentimental varieties. Next
come the five, ten and fifteen minute
and full hour glasses, which are
bought chiefly by musicians for piano
practice and by lodges and secret So
cieties. The sand used in an hour
glass is the very finest that the world
affords. The western coast of Italy
furnishes most of it, as it has done for
ages past. The cost of hour glasses is
regulated by the ornamentation Of the
frames. A glass set in a plain rose
wood case can be bought for 81, while
mahogany frame comes to s1.50 or
81. OF course, the price can be brought
up still higher by fancy carving and
decoration. Swell lodges sometimes go
to this extra eXpense, but most people
are satisfied with the cheaper grades"

Dislike American Rule.

A peculiar result of the America
conquest and rule in the Philippine
is the exodus of a large number of the
better class of Filipinos to Japan. l,
is reported from Yokohama that the
number of these emigrants, now ex-
lies, from the Philippine islands is In
creasing daily, and it is thought that
thousands of the educated classes in
the archipelago will permanently set
tie in the Japanese empire. Most OF
the Filipinos who have gone to Japan
have at once taken up the task of
learning Japanese and of availing
themselves of every opportunity of in
dustrial training.

"FAKE" PHOTOGRAPHS.
How Some Women Obtain Bogus Nata-
torial Reputation.

How Some Women Obtain Bogus Nata-
torial Reputation.
Two years ago a series of alleged
photographs Of extraordinary feats OF
skill on horseback attracted wide at
tention when published. Later it was
shown that these photographs were
clever fakes. In each case the horse
when photographed was standing in
a normal position on the ground. and
the result was obtained by hoisting
the picture around and taking the
sky line. A similar Photographic fake
is working successfully at many of the
seaside resorts this summer. and the
patrons of it are young men and wo-
men who want swimming regulations
to which they are not entitled For
instance. a girl will stand on a post
two feet above the water line, posed
as for a dive. The photographer pro-
duces picture in which the post Is
so high that 1t makes one dizzy to look
at 1t. This is No. l of the set In ths
second>picture the girl is represented
in the act of diving from this post into
water thirty or forty feet below. AS
matter of fact, she makes an ordinary
dive from the low post. and the pho
tographer adds the distance. The two
pictures are proof enough of skill III
high diving, for it is generally believed
that the camera does not lie. The
photographers who devised the scheme
are reaping rich harvest. but the pic
lures do not pass for their face value
at the swimming beaches.-New York

Another Fast Mail Train.

On Sunday, October 81, the Burlington
placed its fourth exclusive fast mail train
q service between Omaha and Chicago.
it leaves the Council Bluffs transfer depot at
S:O5 D. M, arriving in Chicago at 7:O5 a. IN.
an eleven-hour run.
This gives the Burlington two exclusive
fast mail trains each way daily on the
Omaha Chicago run. No "a, as the new
train is known, and No. are the east
bound trains. The latter leaves the trans
fer depot at p. m arriving in Chicago at
2:2O a. m. No. Z and No. Is are westbound
trans. the former leaving Chicago at a. m.
and arriving at the transfer depot at 2:3O p.
IN. No. 15 leaves Chicago at $3.50 p. IN. and
arrives at the transfer depot at 1856 a. IN.
For several years past the Postoffice de-
partment's figures have shown that of all
the trans continental mail passing through
Omaha, 70 per cent. has been westbound
and only % per cent. eastbound. In recent
years this condition of affairs has been
gradually changing, as direct result OF
the VESTS great prosperity and the largely
increased mails from the Orient that
these figures ara not correct now. The in
crese of eastbound mails is equalizing the
volume o, the carrying business to such an
extent that it has become necessary to put
on additional fast mail trains out of Omaha.

In the case of the wreck of the Prin-
cess Alice. which was run into by the

FOURLOSTM BURNING BOAT.
Unfortunate Passengers Of the River Steamer Sun Cbaed to
Ashes at Memphis, fenaesses-0thsr Accidents Which
Occurred on Christmas Day.

NJ EMPHIS, Tenn, Dec, 25.-The
III steamer Sun. employed in the
Memphis and Fulton trade,
burned to the waters edge at an early
hour this morning, and four lives were
lost
The dead are: D. y. Rainey. Old
River Ark; Mrs. D. ~. Rainey. Old
River Ark; Mrs. G. N. limbs, Rich
ardson Landing, Tenn, and a child Of
Mrs. c. NJ. limbs.
The fire was discovered at 4:1O a. m,
as the steamer lay at her wharf here
ana spread with such rapidity that the
craft was mass of flames when the
department responded to the alarm,
When the Sun arrived in port last
night from Fulton, most of the passen-
gers went ashore, but ten or more sa-
loon passengers decided to spend the
night on board. Among these were Mr..
and Mrs. limbs and baby. Mrs. limbs
sister, Miss Josie Hammers. and Mr.
and Mrs. D. n. Rainey. Miss Ham
mers was sleeping with her sister and
the baby, in a stateroOm, and when
me was awakened by the smoke she
aroused her sister and started toward
an exit. Mrs. limbs, however. went
back for the baby, and before she
could return the hurricane deck gave
way and escape was cut of Miss
Hammers got out without injury Mr..
limbs was in another stateroom and
until the collapse Of the roof came.
tried by every means to reach his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rainey had a stateroom,
and although it was thought that all
the passengers on the boat had been
aroused. nothing was ever heard from
them until their charTed remains were
discovered. When the first body was
taken out, Mr.. limbs identified it as
his wife by a ring worn on her finger.
The body was horribly burned. The
body OF the baby has not been found.
The steamer sun was the property of
George w. Phillips. who was her cap
tain. and John Bremen, who acted as
clerk. The loss to steamer and cargo
probably will reach $4,000, partially
insured.
