Some Unnecessary Reasons.

some Unnecessary Reasons.
At the Nomans league convention
Miss Goggin had attention..
She was billed 10 lecture a theme OF interest TO
all.
1t was this: "why Am Single"
And their nerves were all s.tingle,
While most impressive silence illej the big con.
Vention hall.
IL will tell you" said Miss Goggin,
''Mhy in singleness I'm ioggin.
Why no manly oak may say that I'm his dainty
clinging vine
Why I've never faced a preacher,
Led by a male fellow creature
I will tell you'll have reasons, and their number
is Just nine.
And I think the very worst one
Is also the very first one
With its telling just one.ninth Of all my reasons
is disclosed.
Listen carefully, my sisters;
Not one Of all the misters
Ever popped the question to me or in any way
proposed"
Then the ladies began shouting,
Further information nouting,
And Miss Goggin's voice was drowned, It's really
very sad to state.
hut they shrieked out 10 her shrilly:
Further would be silly.
II that's the first, you needn't mind about the
other eight"

Color of DRAFT Haraea

Don't worry about the color If you
are buying a draft horse. Don't pick
an inferior one because he Is your col
or. Get good horse, and his color will
suit the market. OF course If you have
set of breeders who insist on black or
gray or chestnut they must be pleased,
but can they not be better suited with
good horse than a good colored one?
Gray is the favorite color among the
buyers of draft horses in market. 1t is
not, however, the favorite among
breeders. At least 1t does not seem to
be, when importers are forced to bring
over more blacks than grays to please
their customers.

The Steamer Lane and Bark
Oakland Lost
at Sea.

SEATTLE, Wash, August First Of
ficer Thomas Reilly, of the steamer
Lane which was wrecked in Alaskan
waters was among the passengers on
the steamer Senator, which arrived last
night According to Reilly, the Lane
struck at II 80 on the night of July 18th.
The Lane was towing the schooner
Vega, which craft also graZed the reef,
causing her to spring leak but she
was kept afioat with the pumps until
the leak was repaired. When it became
evident that the Lane was a complete
wreck. the crew and passengers aban-
doned her and boarded the Vega, which
set sail for Nome on July 14th. Forty
nine passengers from the Lane crowded
the little schooner and soon the water
supply was nearly exhausted. After
starting for Nome the Vega encounter
ed a series of Gains and headwinds.
When 100 miles from Nome two sailors
and four passengers embarked in small
boat and started for Nome for assist
ance, reaching there twelve hours after
leaving the Vega. The next day the
Vega reached anchorage.
Passengers on the Senator also report
the wreck of the bark Oakland with
100, 600 feet of lumber. She went ashore
near Teller on July 21st. She is owned

presidents agreement, to pay no com
mission on ticket sales. The Pacific
Mail Occidental and Oriental and Togo
Kisen Kaisha steamship companies have
issued a circular offering commissions to
railroad agents selling tickets over their
