Way She Quit The Phone.

The young woman employed as
a stenographer had beau named
viii, to whom she talked some
twenty-five times a day. The law
yer who labored under the impress
sion that he was paying for the
stenographer's time was not pleas
ed that Maggie should drop her
work and rush frantically to the
telephone every time the bell rang
and stand there for fifteen minutes
debating whether or not Will ought
to have told Clara that secret
which he knew well enough was
none of Clara's business. One day
the lawyer left his Office, and, going
to another telephone in the building,
called up his Office. OF course
Maggie rushed frantically to the
phone and answered.
"Hello," said the lawyer in
mufied voice. "This is a lineman
testing the wire. Kindly stand one
foot in front of the receiver and say
hello.
Maggie obeyed.
"Thank you. Now stand two
feet to one side and say hello"
Maggie complied.
THANK you. Now stand two
feet on the other side and say hello. 81
1t was done.
"Thank you. Now stand on
your head and say hello"
Maggie seems to be somewhat
backward in answering the tele-
phone now.

PAM NERICAN DOING WELL.
Comparison Of Average Attend
ance With Former Fairs

The average daily attendance as
the Pan-American Exposition from,
May to July was 5000. The
average daily attendance at former
fairs for the full terms OF theiy dn--
ration were as follows:
Chicago, Worlds Columbian
Exposition, mos. ..... 153, 112e

Atlanta, Cotton States Elk.
position ............... 1900
Omaha, Transmission Ex-
pOSiblOu ............ss ss.- 1 tsNoAs
Philadelphia, International
Export Exposition ...... 1928
The comparison is highly eneOur-
aging to the Pan-Amefican EXPOSE
ton. The first two months of fairs
are usually the poorest in point OF
attendance, owing principally to.
the almost general belief that the.
exhibitions are not completed until
July. The Pan-AmericaD has
passed this point and the attic nd
ance is growing daily.
BY the first of August the in
crease in the daily average attend
ance will show a very large in
crease with the best months yet to
come, The Pan-AmeSican is now
complete and to see the exterior
of the buildings is alone worth a
long triy. The illumination with
100000 lamps is also a wondrous
sight Admission to all buildings
and games in the Stadium is free.

ELECTRIC ICE WATER.
How Guy Robbins, of MayfieId,
Fooled the Thirsty.

Mayfeld, Ky, Aug. 5,-Guy Rob-
bins, the young clerk of the quarter
ly court, is quite a genius. He is a
photographer of no mean repute, an
electrician, printer, painter, tonsor-
ial artist, typewriter and carpen-
ter. Business was dull Yesterday.
soGuy fixed up a little trap for some
fun. Procuring a bucket of ice
water, he placed it out in the hall
OF the court house, then he tied
wire to the dipper, this wire being
connected with little winding bat
terry; another wire was connected
along the floor, with a zinc stove
plate or fender, on which the chair
containing the bucket of water was
sitting. When the unsuspecting
colored teachers-their institute be-
ing in session-or others, would come
along to take a drink, Guy, behind
the door would turn his battery,
and it was quite amusing to see
them as they would drop the dipper
and spit the water from their ting
ling lips. Some would get mad,
while others would take it good.na-
turedly, but the fun never failed to
materialize. He is projecting with
a young, $3.50 engine, and the deni-
zens of the court house are disposed
to give him all the room he wants to
manipulate his instruments.

MIsFoRruNEs OF wEAITR.
Housekeeper and Landlord Stripped the
Rich Mans Home.


"Wealth has misfortunes its own"
remarked a gentleman recently who
ives north Of Canal street, to a New
Orleans Times-Democrat reporter,
and i had occasion several days ago
10 see the really funny side of thing
that happened to lucky man. Up
to few months ago he was a very poor
fellow, a sort of Lazarus in whose face
the rich man might shake his table
cloth without running the risk Of
offering a serious affront. But the oil
boom which hit Beaumont brought
good luck to this poor man, and he
suddenly began to rise in the world
in financial way. The first streak
Of good luck that hit him caused him
to give up his job, and he began to
improve things about his home. He
hired a housekeeper, bought a whole
lot of nice and expensive things, and
was simply rioting in small way on
account of his good luck at Beaumont.
He bought silverware and things Of
that sort. He finally pulled out for
Beaumont, where he could watch his
interests and add to fortune which
had already reached the million-dol-
lar mark. He remained away for some
time, and reports of his continued
good luck reached his housekeeper
and his landlord, and they never
dreamed that he would return to New
Orleans. He was simply too rich, to
think about the little things in the
little home-the little furnishings,
the little silverware, the little what
nots and other little things. Thus
thinking, they concluded that they
would confer, one with the other, the
one being the landlord and the other
being the housekeeper. So they did.
They conferred, and then decided to
divide the deserted estate, taking
share and share alike, spoon for spoon,
as one might say. There was no
hitch in the division, and the land
lord and the housekeeper separated
on friendly terms and in the best Of
spirits. Really, they felt like Beau
mont's boom had hit them in a small
way But the fellow returned, like
a fellow will sometimes, just at the
most unexpected time. And he made
straight shot for the little home
which he had furnished in the first
flush Of his good luck. Hefound dust
on the steps. The windows were cur
iainless. There was no sound, nc
nothing to indicate the house was
built for human habitation, and the
poor rich man was paralyzed when he
saw hanging from the gallery POst'the
sign, For Rent"

which are insisted upon In the office of
the city engineer, these are merely
sample departments, illustrative of the
general policy--he Is reminded of the
figure which is cut by a magnificent rail-
road engine as 1t tries to go up grade on
slippery rails with no sand in its box.
There is considerable progress; the
engine is going onward, perhaps, at the
rate of ten miles an hour, but it's wheels
are revolving at the rate of sixty. 1t is
so In Washington. These are not legiti-
mate matters of serious criticism, how
ever, and are offered only to indicate to
what lengths in the multiplication of
regulations" people will go who are in
Office for an indeterminate period and are
unrestrained by aldermanic threats and
the fear of a political upheaYal.
How such form of government would
operate in Manila nobody can tell. It is
favored for that city because Of the hete-
rogeneous and uneven character of it's
population. The suffrage could hardly be
sufficiently restricted, it is said, to insure
satisfactory results at the polls, while any
form of restriction would provoke unend-
ing criticism. 1t would be an interesting
problem for the student Of municipal
government to have the Washington ex-
pertinent tried at Manila. If it were to
work we'll there, under the numerous and
obvious disadvantages it would en-
counter, it would probably work we'll
anywhere in the world. A successful trial
in the Philippines might lead the intel
ligent thought of this country in the di-
rection of governing all the larger cities
automatically. as remedy for the ever
increasing corruption and extravaganza
which have seemingly come to stay wher-
ever the municipal budgets are large
enough to amount to a strong temptation
to the evil disposed.

a form of government similar to that
which has been in the rule in this city
for number of years, and in justification
Of the idea, which is bitterly opposed by
the people of Manila, it is asserted that
Washington is the best governed city in
the world
In this city there are no elections.
Three commissioners, each paid $4, 500 per
year, and serving for three years, under
appointment by the president of the
United States, administer all of the affairs
of the district and interpret and apply
the laws of congress passed for its benefit.
There is no form of public pressure which,
if resisted, can be brought to bear sue
cessfully in the interest of particular re-
forms or changes in policy. The commits
sioners are law unto themselves, within
the broad lines of the federal statutes,
and do as they please. The president is
the only person who can call them Off
cially to account, and he is so busy with
weightier matters that 1t is exceedingly
difficult to reach him. On the whole
however the commissioner form of gov
ernment, as it is exemplified in this city,
is not bad. Whether it would bring as
good results in the Philippines is a ques-
ton which cannot be answered at this
time. Some one has wisely said that the
ideal form of government is the despotic
form, provided proper care is taken in
the selection Of the despot. That state

would find the way very rough and rugged
if he were to attempt any serious inter-

On the whole, therefore, as I have said,
the commissioner form of government
works very well here. 1t is highly satis-
factory from the point of view of the
weightier matetr with which every mu-
nicipality has to deal. Expenses are held
down, all money set aside for public i'm

expended, the law is enforced without

Devils Lake, N. D.. July 30 AS Sheriff
Herman Ratlen entered the cell containing
P. H. Pickett and George Kelley, the
Churches Ferry safe blowers this morn
ing, they overpowered, bound and gagged
him, taking the keys, and locking him
in the cell. They then released three
other prisoners, and the five made their
escape.
Passing through the sheriff's Office the
two safe blowers helped themselves to
revolvers from the desk.
AS soon as the sheriff could give the
alarm the fire bell was rung, and citi-
zens turned out in pursuit Of the escap-
ing prisoners. One was caught in front
of the courthouse, and two in wheat
field near town, but the safe blowers,
both desperate characters and armed,
are still at large.
Posses are securing the surrounding
country and if the criminals are over
taken 1t is expected they will put up a
desperate fight before surrendering.

MONEY MINUS
Astounding Disclosures Re
garding the Finances of a
London Mining Con-
Germ.

London, July 30.-At the first meeting
OF the creditors to-day, and at a subse-
quent meeting of the shareholders of the
Standard Exploration company, one of the
mining concerns known as the Whitaker
Wright group, the official receiver made
such astounding revelations that he drew
from the excited shareholders demands
for the lynching Of the persons impli-
Gated. The receiver said that the esti-
mated assets were farcical. The fourteen
mines. valued at 4767,0O0, had earned
nothing, The company started with cash
capital of e5OOOOO, but the directors
took little interest in the company's mines
and devoted themselves to stock exchange
speculation
"And that's where your money is
gone" said the receiver; e228. 600 was
lost, in differences, in Lake Erie specula-
tions and e255,OOO was lost, in differ
ences, in Caledonian Copper. The total
profits from speculations are e38 900 and
the losses are e 9536, ,000.'
After few more such statements which,
shareholder said, would ''stagger hu-
manity," another shareholder asked the
receiver to prevent the directors from
making away with their property, as it
was reported they were doing.
Are these men still at larger" shouted
another shareholder.
Yes, they are,' came the answer, and
Immediately those present at the meeting
rose to their feet, somebody shouting
Lynch them!" 1t was an exciting mo-
ment for Lord Pelham Clinton, General
Cough -Calthorpe and others who were at
tending the meeting A storm of angry
cries and Kisses broke out, but the re-
ceiver finally succeeded in calming the
shareholders by promising them every
protection possible
